We'll see a good amount fewer CRJ200s and more CRJ900s when the 717s come in.

There's already a significant shift to mainline out of ATL due to the natural economics of it. We're starting MLI on the airbus in June, adding to a number of previously all RJ cities.

Speaking of Styx, if you really wanted to get your late 70's/early 80s on, last year Styx, foreigner and Night Ranger were touring together. There's nothing better than a concert where you know every word to every song. As some are probably aware, Tommy Shaw (styx) has a long relationship doing collaborative work with Night Ranger.

If you like newer country at all, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, and Zac Brown all put on a good live show, Miranda Lambert is pretty high energy live as well.
