The FA's are experiencing exactly what we would have seen had we not been able to agree to a contract and get to the ISL. I believe they were still hiring FA's on the L-CO side recently.

I would never say never for the pilot furloughs, but this furlough of FA's is more about not having a combined workforce.
Exactly right.
