And then you knew you had something when we were rolling out the old kiosk from storage and people were hugging us.
that we were bringing it back.

I happen to be a neurotic flyer, so I'm worried about turbulence and terrorism.
And I didn't like leaving my kids.
And so to know you could change that for someone, that's a giant win.
That's one of our core values.
I have a very busy mind.

I am always thinking my friends will laugh.
