Costly and difficult can both be overcome.

I just told my wife that things look to be heating up on a potential contract, and the pieces were rumored to coming together very fast. It took her but a fraction of a second to conclude that we (pilots) are going to want to read the fine print very carefuly.

Do you have special access to your reps AND the company?
