Are you defending the delay? I think both parties want this settled, what's the problem with requesting the decision? I assumed the negotiations were the priority and focus but that doesn't involve the arbitrator. Am I out of line requesting the decision, distant brain cells and all? That data point will surely affect our situation going forward. Next will be the A350, then the CS100 are we supposed to expect the same? How about the A330-900neo?
