I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

On cleared overflight heights

240 had been considered safe. Increasing this to 320 - ie 30% - was probably a safe margin. Overlying at 330 was 'safe' as you don't add safety margins to safety margins. OK, they were wrong, but legally the airline was not to blame.
