Netvets, I guess I don't understand your ire at JA. Is he trying to get around your scope, or is he asking you to give it up or lose the deal?

I would understand being ****ed at him if he tried to ignore it or circumvent in in a tricky way, but what is unfair about asking for scope relief or backing out?
If your MEC caves, that's where your blame needs to go, not JA. If they don't cave, then you're back where you started, yes?

I think some people just live to blame Skywest no matter what the reality is.
