We’re in the Customer Service business—we just happen to provide airline transportation.

Airline stocks are a good illustrative example.

Unfortunately, I am bound by the terms of a confidentiality agreement and so cannot name the domestic airline we intend to acquire but can confirm that contracting is at an advanced stage and we expect to make an announcement within the next two weeks.

But if you look at fundamentals of their business, the load factors are still, by historical standards, very high.
