So an engine may go away for servicing and the airline will swap engines within their fleet and even within their spare engine fleet.

pool as such so at the time of the collapse of an airline the title engines the title landing gear the title apu the seats etc may not actually still be on board that are installed on that very airplane and so once the aircraft are recovered the lessors then have to work together as a collective to effectively retitle their aircraft with the correct equipment so even though they might be at each other's throats to get business in a situation like this collapse they have to cooperate with each other

Totally, yeah.

So they may be fierce competitors day to day, but on a technical point of view, the aviation industry is very, very small.

And the lessors would very much have a positive working relationship on that front.

It wasn't the most difficult we've ever worked on.

The aircraft, however, were scattered very much so.

So our operation of recovery involved a number of airports across the U.S., really in most of the east, west and central U.S.

So in Arizona, the aircraft are placed into storage.

And what happens at that point then is several things.

The lessors may choose to take the engines, release those engines to some of their other customers who may be needing spare engines to supplement the pool, etc.,

They may be able to take the aircraft as a as a complete unit.

And then the goal will ultimately be to release that aircraft.

And we're certainly seeing a number of that activity now where aircraft are being flown out of Arizona to to other jurisdictions.

There's a number of aircraft came to Ireland now.

And they're now in what's called a transition.

So the aircraft will be repainted.

Interior cabin will be refitted, et cetera, to the next lessee, the next airline taking the aircraft.

Some of the aircraft in Arizona probably will be what's termed as parted out.

So effectively chopped up.
