Adam Scott:I think it's been really interesting for us, as I'm sure it has been for many other participants in the market. We've seen a marked improvement in demand from Canada, for example. I think demand from the US and to the US has remained pretty stable, frankly. Bermuda is a unique market. It's a lot of business travelers, it's a lot of leisure, but it's a lot of friends and family as well. And so we're a pretty stable market from many regards. And so, yeah, I think we're excited about the demand for Anguilla and our Anguilla launch. We'll be the only carrier that flies direct and nonstop from the Northeast of the US to that market, and I think it's going to be a really exciting opportunity for us. Bookings are fantastic for Anguilla, and I expect that as we promote further and as we continue to develop those markets, and that market specifically, we expect demand to increase substantially. I think, you know, very frankly, Anguilla could easily support several aircraft. You know, we're going to start— you know, we launched Anguilla to help deal with the seasonality issues that we have in Bermuda. Until I can get out there and convince everybody how wonderful Bermuda is year-round, which it really is, you know, there is a seasonal drop-off in demand. And so moving aircraft to other markets like Anguilla that have sort of a counter-seasonality makes a lot of sense. But in the same vein, I'd like to actually improve the demand for Anguilla to being more year-round as well. So hopefully as we build the Bermuda market and we build demand for Bermuda, we'll be able to do the same thing in Anguilla and perhaps in other markets that we look at in the future as well. I think that, you know, we doubled our fleet this year to 4 aircraft, which has been an amazing voyage for us, of course. Just having redundancy aircraft is something that having started the airline myself a couple of years ago, I really, really can't believe we did without. But I think the right size for us, very frankly, we're now getting to a stabilized position. I think we'll add more aircraft probably next year, the year after, maybe 1, 2 a year, something like that. So We're going to have steady growth, but of course, you know, mix in with new markets as well. We've got a great relationship with Embraer. They've been very supportive of us, and I think that it's the right-sized aircraft for us and for our markets that we serve. And so, yeah, absolutely, we'll look forward to welcoming more Embraers to the fleet in the coming years.
