I really can't but help think there's some opportunity for UA to offer creative options to move distressed inventory and get a cash infusion upfront as the network restarts...just throwing it out in case anyone from Willis is lurking here.
Thanks for clarifying! That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking.
