I am sorry that I missed some of Mr. Hughes’ presentation. I had to step out for a minute. I thank him for attending and for his detailed presentation.

I will pick up on a couple of points.

Mr. Hughes talked about the opportunity to deliver efficiencies and he referenced datalink and the systems. One thing we hear from the airlines themselves, and I might have the terminology wrong, is about open skies and the inefficiencies. They give out about French air traffic controllers. Is Mr. Hughes familiar with this?
