Now just to discuss 2 things:

1. Do we know the total cost to operate a jet as DCI versus having that jet operated at mainline? Say a E175 or CRJ900. When you take into account all of the overhead expenses at DCI compared to what they'd be if insourced at Delta?

2. 10 or 20 years down the line, where are we in this industry if the trend lines with scope and the mainline as well as airlines providing outsourced flying stay the same?
1. I think we do. But it always changes and is confidential.

2. "Mainline" as defined by Delta seniority list pilots would be extinct if the specifics of your question were to be extrapolated as you state.
