Yes. In fact, he went on to threaten next summer's business as well, which I found particular disconcerting in regard to Shannon. I want to broaden out the conversation to ask Ms Considine about leverage. What leverage does Shannon Airport have right now in this marketplace? We are all horrified that there are going to be no flights out of Shannon for over a month, in effect. However, while Aer Lingus has cut back services, it has kept a service from Cork and there are services from Dublin. Why has Shannon been singled out as the airport that has no services for the next three months at a minimum?
