I don’t know for sure but I think the calling of the SGM caused them concern about potential industrial unrest that might affect the business case of spending a billion on more 787s and they wanted some time to talk and assess the risk. If they are able to feel the risk is low enough, even with bargaining to come, then that hesitation would go away.
