We've done all those things, but we've seen that young people have been less willing to be air traffic controllers when they see they may not be paid. That's a problem. But the second part of what we've done is We have air traffic controllers who can retire after 25 years of service. I've asked them. They're the most experienced in the airspace. I said, would you please stay on, please don't retire. I'll give you a 20% upfront cash bonus. (14:30–14:34)
