Before I turn it over to Pete, I want to mention one other thing. Many of you have reported that we have issues with the staffing of air traffic controllers. We're about 3,000 air traffic controllers short right now. And I've said many times, we can't flip a switch and turn on more controllers. It takes a year and a half to two years for a new controller to be trained up in the Duluth airspace. (04:04–04:09)
