What's happening with the shutdown could become an issue.

So far, it hasn't been.

First, the FAA is doing, I think, a great job of running the system.

We have our...

lowest cancellation rate in the last decade, our second best on-time performance.

The controllers are professionals.

There's not news about it, but the controllers are professionals, view their job as safety, view their job as taking care of the public, and kudos to them.

Almost all of them are showing up to work and doing their job.

The first couple of weeks of October hasn't really affected bookings.

I think if this goes on for too long, certainly the risks escalate in the economy as it goes on.

I think the economy is better than most people think, but it's still tenuous.

It's still a little balanced on a knife edge.

And we shouldn't have unforced errors.

So let's get the shutdown settled.
