Yes, by buying another airline you are buying preexisting airframes and leases. We do not want to do what AMR is doing and buy a fleet a spanking new 73N's that in reality can and probably will fly to 2050. We want something we can dump in the next 15-20 years. Anything used in the NB market that compliments what we have fits in to that.
