Okay, are you familiar with scope? And I'm not talking about the mouthwash. Nothing over 76 seats, 70-76 seat aircraft are all accounted for. There aren't any to add per mainline scope clause. And the 50 seat market has to shrink to meet that scope number. So what new aircraft are available? Also, not every regional is short staffed. Skywest, Republic, and Endeavor are doing just fine. It's mainly just the sketchy ones that are having a hard time filling classes. And why is it that GoJet needs direct entry captains?
