An organisation I worked for was facing a cut of funding from the government. We had no option but to hire, not just any lawyer, but perhaps the best in the country who charged an arm and a leg but did a hell of a job strong arming the government into backing off. We got screwed both ways: lost funding for 3-4 months while the negotiations were progressing, ended up having to borrow to cover the legal fees which were astronomical, but it was both worth it and a necessity.

EK F fares from/to some markets are downright outrageous, but demand seems to be up there. I am not upset - simply commenting on how EK is doing a terrific job finding and selling to a niche market all while charging ridiculous money. I meant screw in a sarcastic and positive way.
