We’ll take our next question from [random reporter] from Bloomberg News.

Hi, folks. Can you talk a little bit about how you’re going to afford that new pilot contract?

Richard Anderson
Hi, we're making a lot of money and so we can afford the substantial cost increase. The pilots fly the planes and so without them flying them, they go nowhere, they're invaluable, we love them, it was time to go above and beyond anything that's ever been done in this industry. I mean I have no problem paying a 717 copilot $175,000, and a Delta Captain $300,000, they're worth every penny.

Ed Bastian
And, if I may add, I stay awake at night thinking about how much this is going to cost us. But the pilot's union just didn't budge. They really got the best of us. They said that the contract surveys from the pilots were clear and they held to that.

Sure. Okay. Thank you.
