Uh, they are paid for that's why. So any flight we make with them fuel becomes are general largest cost. Also, we are not using our ERs to fly to the high value in demand cities. For those destinations we are using the 330/350. Both are very fine airplanes and very good product, much better than polaris. We use our older jets for niche destinations and we make money on that. I know you don't work here, but if you did you'd get how we vary our fleets usage based on demand. We are very flexible in that regard.
