So I imagine as we see the data change and more controllers come to work, we are as quickly as possible going to take these restrictions away.
That's the best approach.
But we have to look at how many controllers come to work
and how long that takes after the government opens back up.
We're going to have to continue to assess the pressure in the airspace and make decisions that may again move us from 10 percent to 15 percent, maybe to 20.
The government can open back up.
We could have controllers coming to work.
And then you're going to be stuck booking a week before you want to travel, and you're going to pay way more money, and you're going to be angry.
So book it now.
We always assess risk in the airspace, right?

As you've seen, and I think you and I have talked about, controllers are making decisions about their families and their income, and some of them are not coming to work.
voice-verified
It's a problem.
voice-verified
I want them to come to work and do their jobs, but that's the reality that I deal with.

And so you've seen a lot of delays and cancellations through the airspace.

It changes every single day based on what controllers are coming to work and which ones are not and what airspace is.

But we were seeing increased pressure.
voice-verified
in these 40 markets, and we looked at the data.
voice-verified
This was data-driven.
voice-verified
And so taking 10% of the flights out will reduce that pressure, which is what we want to do.
voice-verified
Now, does that mean there's going to be no delays?
