The flip side of that is that the West Podunk Airport probably only has a handful of employees and maybe only one or two gates. So it may not be as important to consolidate resources in those locations, but they are also much easier to consolidate. Maybe not as important or critical, but much easier to accomplish. That may be enough to see some of them changed over quickly.
