That is not what I asked. Let us say it is parked on a runway in any airport tomorrow and some other vehicle hits it, causing damage, and it is out of commission for a day, a week, a month or six months. What is in place today to deal with that eventuality? Surely the Department has some options as things can happen.

There was a problem with the first jet and there was no contingency plan in place. Has the Department not learned anything from that event? Mr. Quinn should have told himself that the options for a decision would be ready if the Department was ever caught in a situation like that again. I am not asking you to have made that decision but you are telling me that you are equally as unprepared if something happened to that jet on some runway tomorrow as you were when it happened on that workshop floor over in Georgia. I am disappointed if that is the response from your Department.
