Have you seen any material changes or advantages from using and adopting artificial intelligence of late that have really materially improved profitability or decreased staff?
Christian Saving, thank you so much for being with us this morning.
Christian Saving there of Deutsche Bank, the CEO here in New York.
And John, it really is a tale for the Europeans of looking to what levers can be pulled going forward, given some of the concerns and challenges facing the region.
I would love to welcome in Scott Kirby, the CEO of United Airlines.
And Scott, it's really tremendous to see not only what you did, but also the fact that you see significant upside to the fourth quarter.
And I want to just start there.
Where do you see the acceleration in demand?
I guess I want to drill into the economy because, Scott, earlier in the year had been the economy section that had struggled the most.
I'm just wondering how much it's picking up, whether you've had to discount tickets to bring people in to compete or whether consumers are willing to absorb higher prices and just take their trips.
And that's actually something that we see across the board, particularly because there are all these deals.
So people have to actually get on a plane and go see some of their clients.
I am wondering, are you seeing international travelers, tourists come back to the United States?
I know that was kind of a soft spot and sort of a tell in terms of the international reputation of the country.
Are you planning to keep capacity pretty much the same?
Are you planning to expand or cut back?
I know that it was constrained earlier this year just because of demand.
But as demand picks up, are you going to bring more planes on deck?
I know earlier this year when we were talking, you said that you do expect to raise prices by single digits just to compensate for higher costs.
