Grounded Fleet

Here's an update from the program manager on our insurance situation. "Our fleet has been grounded since Tuesday this week due to problems with satisfying Civil Aviation with insurance documentation for our planes and pilots. The DAC insurance office is being less than helpful, merciless, and has changed what they require several times. Ecuadorian law requires that we carry local insurance and our local insurer has had to change the policy several times this week because of DAC's inconsistent requirements. We hope to be flying later today (Thursday). Meanwhile, flights are backing up and there are several groups of missionaries and some patients waiting."
