Exactly. The 717's are going away. Therefore the need to furlough pilots on the 717. You are not on our list yet. Once you are then we'll see what arbitration holds. Since you guys were so fast to file for arbitration and not negotiate otherwise. The sooner you get on the list, the sooner you guys are off the street. We are trying. We are in talks with you. Like I said before. Our union is looking at your list before we took over as to the integration, so when we integrate, many of your guys that have been on furlough will be flying again. I don't know exactly how many, but I've heard that it was when we took over the company those who were active will be active when the integration is complete.
