Frasca: not all of us are contract experts and can quote language or specific portions of the contract. And like most of us, I am just a line pilot that has been burned at certain times and have learned through osmosis.

Having returned from a South American trip, I didn't feel like digging into the contract and just gave the real world binary answer.

Kudos, and I mean that seriously, that you were able to drill it down in the contract.
