And we find ourselves, I don't know if you recall this, in Newark, we lost communication.
For 45 seconds, we lost air traffic control communication with airplanes.
That's a bad thing, right?
Now, the pilots are well-trained.
Everyone goes into a hole.
They know what to do.
But that happened twice because we didn't have the right connectivity.
We had old lines that weren't working correctly.
So it can become dangerous if you, and again, it's safe now, but if I look out 10 years, it's not gonna be safe.
And so I think we should do what we can to say, hey, I want you to be less delayed.
I want your flight to be faster.
Again, it used to be faster to fly from Chicago to Dallas
30 years ago than it is today.
Not because airplanes fly faster, flew faster then, it's because of all the patterns we have to fly and how we're navigating traffic.
With a new air traffic control system, you can make it really efficient to use the same airspace, but put more aircraft into it.
And so, again, nobody has a system like ours.
Again, Europe doesn't have it.
Asia doesn't have it.
No one has as many aircraft as we do.
We have to think differently about how we manage our airspace.
