We do 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. The system that I think that we use, and it's shameful that that's the system we would use in the greatest country in the world. (07:03–07:15)
