Baron,
I hope you're wrong again (about NOQ after talking with Dr. Kendall's group) because it was my impression that they were a go-between between you and the FAA, not you and the Company. As well, I don't think that they will even have a conversation with the Company about you or your situation. Could be wrong about this, but I hope not.
And if I've saved you some bucks, the next time you're in Bradley, let me know and I'll pick you up and allow you to buy me a Diet Coke.
