7.3. Flight Crews. Lessor shall provide to Lessee a qualified flight crew for each flight conducted in accordance with this Agreement.

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 flight. No such action of the Pilot in Command shall create or support any liability of Lessor to Lessee for loss, injury, damage, or delay.
