And what's the number Angle Lake like to throw around the most? 10-11%. 10% growth, 11% ROIC. Its their mantra.

And the fevered imagination of new hires.

I believe you are correct, Sir. The problem for junior VX pilots is that until the SLI is accomplished as the Airbus leases expire its VX pilots that will get furloughed.
