Now, I want to be clear. There'll be a question about is the system safe now? I'd say yes, it is safe, because If we don't have enough controllers, if we have controllers that are more stressed and less able to do the job, we pay close attention to that. And we will reduce the capacity of airplanes taking off and landing or we will cancel flights. And so you can and very well may see delays in the system, but that's because our priority is you getting from point A to point B and getting there safely. (13:32–13:51)

CLAIM

Asserts that flight capacity will be reduced or flights will be canceled if there are not enough air traffic controllers or if they are too stressed.
