They don't. You just can't move them around because they have experience as controllers. So, so what I've done is I've offered, I mentioned this earlier, but I've offered to pay a bonus to air traffic controllers to not retire after 25 years, but to stay on the job. We're going to pay them 20% upfront cash. And every year they stay, we're going to pay them. And we're supercharging young people coming into the academy. (03:35–03:43)
