Um, they made a public announcement that there's an impasse. JCBA prep talks are certainly in progress so it's not like all contact broke off. I don't think anything of consequence took place regarding the SLI.
Don't forget I'm an APA member and I frequent their message board. Not a peep about this.
Like everyone else they're just waiting for the NMB ruling to end the USAPA nightmare.
The fact there is not a peep on the APA message board probably means that they honor the confidentiality agreement... Not a bad thing.
I'll agree with you in that the end of this nightmare is close. I doubt anyone will miss any of this crap. I'm beyond ready to move on...
