We're going to have a fuller assessment of what happens in regard to DEI in FAA and dot, and we'll report that out. But I will tell you this, DOT is a big department. The only DEI office that exists in the whole department was at the FAA. Now, that existed up to a week ago. That's now gone. So again, you alluded to this earlier, that the idea of the DEI expanded the number of people trying to get into the air traffic control training, not necessarily those who graduated. (04:39–04:48)

CLAIM
