And the components on that aircraft, engines, landing gear and all sorts of components will enter the spare parts chain effectively.
So actually what's left of the aircraft is very, very little once everything has entered the chain.
Very much so, yeah.
And the document itself can sometimes be worth more than the parts itself, absolutely.
It couldn't really be done because of the certification standard that manufactures.
So you wouldn't really be able to build a complete airbus A320 from purely spare parts, unfortunately.
But certainly those spare parts do play a very key vital role in maintaining aircraft and keeping them flying safely.
And just back to the point where the aircraft was scattered as well, although the airline had collapsed, the administrators were able to maintain some of Spirit's key staff, and they were also able to assist, obviously, where the aircraft last landed.
So, yeah, we were able to map out fairly quickly where the aircraft were across the US.
It's seldom.
Yes, yes.
So we actually would have a pool of approximately 100 pilots contracted to us on multi-year contracts.
And then we actually were able to offer employment to a number of the Spirit pilots who suddenly found themselves unemployed very quickly and very unexpectedly as well to help with some of the recoveries, yes.
It is, yes, it is.
It's pure fleet size alone is what's made this unique.
Unfortunately, there are a number of airline failures almost every year worldwide.
There's a lot of airlines worldwide.
In terms of anticipating more, I think it's probably inevitable, whether we'll see failures or mergers within some airlines.
It's a very difficult operating market for a number of airlines at the moment worldwide.
Fuel price and constraint is a huge factor, plus regional economies.
