So our fix to the glitch actually worked out of an abundance of caution. The Philly TRACON shut down traffic at Newark for a short period of time just out of an abundance of caution. And then On May 20, there was a two second, we called it a radio outage, but it was static on the line. So it wasn't a complete failure of the line, but there was static for two seconds. We have been working with Verizon. They have one of the lines that we're using. (02:15–02:22)
