Where's the airspace revamp? And he's going to give us a very hard time. So let me just talk about what I want to do with all of you. We have an incredibly old antiquated air traffic control system. We're using copper wires. We don't use fiber. We use radar. That's from the early 80s and 70s. You guys know this. We use floppy disks. You go up into an air traffic control tower and it's a third rate city in a third world country. (06:51–07:03)
