The question really is, are you paying for the sins of the past and compromising needs of the present? I don't think so. I mean, first of all, we're paying it off for a long period of time. We'll do another billion dollars in pension pay down in this cycle. By the way, nobody else has ever paid down pension principal before. It's probably going to be a 20, 30 year window to get it done. But most importantly, we're making progress. (05:29–05:33)
