to do all such further acts, deeds, assurances or things as may, (i) in
the reasonable opinion of the Owner, be necessary or desirable in order to

discretion of the pilot in command.
	 
	12.	 	Flight Crews. Operator shall provide to Time Share Lessee a qualified

which in the judgment of the Pilot in Command is necessitated by
considerations of safety. The Pilot in Command shall have final and
complete authority to postpone or cancel any flight for any reason or
condition which in his or her judgment would compromise the safety of the

delay.
	 
	15.	 	Force Majeure. Operator shall not be liable for delay or failure to
