Since that time, my understanding is their situation has resulted in a lot less opportunity for premium pay... so we probably are ahead of them now. Of course, our rates are 34% below the buying power they had 10 years ago... so we've got that going for us.
And at least you carry more passengers in a given month than Carl or Timbo or probably me... but make a lot less. So we got that going for us too.
