Well, they need to hire for 5 more 777s with this announcement. And they also operate 3 777Fs...and are already a customer of ours. You've heard the rumors of the new fleet type, right? How do you quickly solve a pilot manning shortfall with the stroke of a pen? What company seems to like CMI agreements? Yeah, maybe you're right. This can't possibly have anything to do with Atlas. Disregard.
