A small number of these may still slip through the cracks, but the bottom line is the company is paying a lot more money using 23M7 than they would be if we gave them batch size concessions.
IA is a very very tiny portion of it..most of these end up going to reroute and it's very hard to catch. even if it was just IA, there's
