Can you just walk us through what you're seeing in higher revenue managing right now? According to the FAA, you are allowed to take off a mask to eat on a plane. Are there any guideposts you can provide with that cause backdrop there in terms of where revenues need to be to get back to both cash flow - cash breakeven and profitability? This is my story. I mean, what are the cost buckets where - or is it really a no brainer if you produce that capacity, it's almost mathematically guaranteed to be below six.

But we do as you referenced have an open complaint here with the DOT so I think I'd be remiss in offering any further commentary on that. And one thing we're going to talk about a lot, we're not going to give perfectly clear detail on this, but we have still a cancellation rate that is relatively high, it's very high compared to normal circumstances.

We do not support the idea. And, one cannot forget, that with a significant portion of Bastians salary paid in stock and valued based on its stock price on one day, February 3 the actual dollar amount can fluctuate greatly depending on the day.
