Also, we are talking about reaccommodating approximately 35,000 passengers who were holding ATA space from the date they ceased operations until the end of the schedule. While many of those were concentrated in the first few weeks, which complicated the process, many are for future travel because Hawaii is not your typical "spur of the moment" destination. Considering these numbers, I think our folks have done a pretty good job of getting folks home and or rescuing vacations.
