It is still early in this dispute. One of the reasons '89 went so badly was the lack of a fall-back position.
I believe AIPA would have that as a fall-back position that could be easily implemented if required, and it would leave QF nowhere to go.
Done too early however, it would leave AIPA also with nowhere to go. I believe it is far too early in this dispute however to start reducing claims. AIPA would also be waiting to see the result of the ballot from its own members.
