Yeah, look, you're absolutely right. Fuel costs are average of 26% of airlines costs, so this is about optimising their situation currently and compared to say the price at the pump. I have to plan for a longer period of volatility because people have bought their tickets already of course so managing that is super tough and we certainly wouldn't criticise the moves here. The difference between us and other parts of the world is that we've been in decline already so most countries have been growing their networks, we've been declining and so it's cuts on cuts and that's why it's hurting a bit more over here.
