I don't think you've done yours and are fueled by emotion and the compulsion to dance into perpetuity with an old skeleton. M-B DOES NOT REQUIRE two unions and the MOU specifically does two things. First, it plans for the dissolution of USAPA prior to SLI and second, even with that, it describes the SLI to proceed as per McCaskill-Bond. That implies that for a "fair and equitable" process to occur, ALL pre-merger parties should have the ability negotiate and arbitrate as per M-B and that should APA fail to ensure that, they are subject to jeopardy under DFR. Considering that it will almost certainly be neutral arbitrators deciding the SLI, even if they were handed the three (preferably two) lists and given no positions, they could make whatever decision they'd need to and APA wouldn't and couldn't alter that.
Throwing a wrench in this SLI won't change the past and if the spirit and intent of the MOU is followed, this SLI won't put another skeleton next to the once you're presently dancing with.
