As far as I know they don't use Flica unless that has changed.
I'm a hair away from going back. Strongly considering it.
Where are you at now? That must be a tough decision - many of us have been there, it is agonizing trying to figure out what to do. I hope whatever you decide it works out for you. This industry can be brutal but let's hope that we are all finally in a win-win situation and no matter what we decide our hard work is eventually rewarded.
