After the way AIPA supported the AFAP in the dispute Kap I would have thought that would be your last recommendation.
When the chips are down AIPA will fold their tent imo. They have never been put to the test like now and so far I see no indication they have a clue how to get out of this one. The committee is divided on strategy and some of them remind me of deer in the headlights.
It really is time for a change and if it can be done with AIPA then well and good. Past performance would indicate otherwise though. We will see.
