The great piece here is between Compass and Mesaba you have the very best operators in cost structure. So, our goal with our contract carriers is to bring their margins down over time to more accurately reflect the overall margins in the industry. And Compass and Mesaba will give us that ability to shift flying from contract carriers to owned carriers at much better CASM.

It’s a work-in-process, so it hasn’t got that much attention. But between Compass and Mesaba there exists a holding company and they are actually already between those two carriers sharing functions, and we would expect that that would continue and would expand as times goes on.
