Now, we've seen some cracks and it rattles people when they see these disasters, but air travel is safe. And just a side note, if it wasn't safe, If something happened with air traffic controllers and staffing, the FAA might not tell you this, but they're going to shut down the airspace instead of letting people fly in an environment that isn't safe. So again, that is the mission, safety. Making sure people get from point A to point B as intended, safely is our mission. (09:01–09:13)
