But again, again, on behalf of the Greek family and myself, David, thank you so much for your team, your transparency, your kindness. I know it's a challenging time for you and all your people, Yeah, here we are. And the other pilots that came up, Frank, your wife, Sam, I know how much Greg did mean to you, and he was a role model. He only ever wanted to make everybody flew better than him, faster than him, more professional than him.
