No. The company just states that their interpretation of a mile is a nautical mile and not a statute mile. Then our lawyers run around determining the definition of a nautical mile and low and behold, they determine that the company is correct. Now sign this MOU for some crappy protection that isn't worth the paper it's written on. All these lawyers in the "aviation industry" and somehow, we went for the statute mile interpretation over the nautical mile!
