Look, PHX has a large military presence, a university of some size, a load of tech storage facilities and your basic urban populace. They have baseline travel needs. We have baseline service there.

I would expect our service there to remain seasonal at best.
In many ways it’s PSP writ large.
We cater to the people who cater to the people who can afford the nice weather.
