We made her open the door back up, & then when I told her we couldn't leave without the WDR preface, she gave me a look because she knew it would make is late. I said, Im sorry, but we can't leave without it. IDK if she was a former NWA agent or not.

Any fdal guys having trouble getting the WDR preface/pax count before departure?
