Btw you seriously think the aapsic doesn't have a proposal with the lus pilots in nicolau order ready to go? It would be inconceivable they didn't consider that possibility.
P.S. Good luck hitching your wagon to defending the east position that Nic. shouldn't apply.
The AAPSIC can make any proposal or give any "credit" they believe produces a fair and equitable list. They are bound by nobody to do anything about the Nic if they so choose. Same with the arbitrators. I have little doubt that they at least one and perhaps more models that incorporate the Nic and just said that. You must have been fantasizing when you read my posts.
Just because the West now believes the Nic is the only list, doesn't mean it's being reordered if others don't recognize it as they aren't required to. They very well may, but if so, look for mitigators to offset that. I'm not "defending" anything, just stating my belief that your view of everything isn't necessarily the anchor of the end result.
BTW, how long is the party going to go ?
Sooner or later, the hangover always shows up.
