Good to see the thread started. Just a few comments.
787 part of claim? You bet it is.
Timeframe - We give them to February.
Talk to the NZ unions? - Not even sure there is a need, we know what the opposition is like.
Will they want to settle without PIA - I think so. That's why they are already telling you our claims are ambit.
Not discuss our plans on a public forum? - It worked last time. Even better when you post a some red herrings here and there.
cheers
