We’ll take our next question from Dwain Worthless from Bloomberg News.

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

Richard Andarson
Hi, Dwain. We always could afford to pay the pilots what they are worth. We borrowed money from them in the last decade, slashed their pensions and increased their efficiency. They fly a lot more than they used to. It is time to restore their pay, enhance their work rules and better their retirement. I for one am very curious as why DALPA has never demanded restoration. Who am I to ask them if they want restoration?

Ed Bastien
And, if I may add, I sleep extremely well knowing my highly educated and professional pilots make less than long shore-men. It is time to restore their pay fully and make them whole. There is plenty of money in the coffers but one thing I really appreciate with DALPA is that they never come to the table asking for more! THey are truly a great partner with us! Kudos to MOAK for establishing such a friendly environment.

Dwain- Bloomberg News
Sure. Okay. Thank you. I also heard Firefighters and Police Officers have a great pensions too..
