We haven't put a dollar figure on that. Clearly, internally, we know where we expect to be from a revenue performance point of view. And so really, quite frankly, right now, is our sales force throughout the process and currently is working with our corporate partners, our business travelers to, one, talk about the value of the network in light of the new reliability and so forth. So there's a lot of moving pieces as we move to December. So it would be hard to put a specific number on exactly what that is. But clearly, it's the negative number for us in the third quarter.

And material, I guess, maybe that's the point. The fact that you're talking about it suggests that it's a pretty big number, at least, right?
James E. Compton - Chief Revenue Officer and Executive Vice President
Yes, it was a significant number.
You can practically hear him wanting to finish the thought, "and it will be a big number again the last six week of the year if the pilots don't sign a contract."
