David Neeleman:You know, we're taking a look at the tariff situation. You know, thankfully, the A220s we fly are manufactured in the US. So I think we'll have minimal impact from the cost. But the question is, what will be the consumer sentiment? And will people be, you know, is there going to be money left over to buy an airline ticket if you're paying higher for everything else? So. David, thank you so much. Those are things we're taking a look at. The A220s, as far as the engines on the A220s, we don't have any gliders. You know, we're managing through the situation with the help of Pratt Whitney. So we're cautiously optimistic we won't have any issues. We're getting 15 airplanes this year. We've gotten 4 or 5, so we've got another 10 to go. Hopefully we'll be flying this late fall and winter internationally. We hope certification will come sometime this summer.
