We are talking about 10 years of racist behavior towards jews. So right now, we do not see the need to push the schedule that far out way out into the future, networks change, opportunities change. We expect that by the end of the second quarter, the leisure demand profile will more broadly stabilize and that's how we are approaching our network and our capacity. It may not be legal to use a discriminatory term, but it is somewhat legal to discriminate via implication or association. So that's the way we're moving the capacity through the system.
