00:00Thanksgiving. My second question, if I can, is can you give us a little explanation of
00:54the FAA system that didn't meet
01:00the moment? This is a time that I think the Congress can signal, you know what, we Democrats
01:06and Republicans in the House and the Senate, we're willing to work together. We're willing to work
01:10with DOT and the FAA. We're willing to work with President Trump. We can fight on a lot of things,
01:15but we're not going to fight on this. We're going to work with you. We want to test your numbers.
01:20We want to push your numbers. We want to make sure you're doing what you say you're going to do,
01:23but we're going to give you the dollars to make sure you make these investments on behalf of the
01:27American people. And so I hope they'll do that with us. We'll continue to communicate with the
01:33Hill. So again, I'm sorry that we put you through this, but we did it for the right reasons. As
01:38the
01:39Secretary mentioned, the system started to exhibit some instability. And over a course of about 45
01:45minutes, we could not assess the cause of the instability, at which point about 345 yesterday,
01:50we implemented a ground stop. We did that because we felt it was helpful to remove pressure from the
01:57system, holding airplanes on the ground while we continue to work through the root cause analysis
02:02of the instability in the system. This morning, the system remains stable and our airline partners
02:09are working through the operational recovery. What does that mean? Well, of course, we have crews and
02:16aircraft that are out of position, the 12,000 flights that were lost. Those crews, pilots and flight
02:22attendants need to get to their points of reconnection with their schedules. Our airline partners are
02:30working through that. So I do think the worst is behind us, but we still do have a significant amount
02:36of recovery work to do with our airline stakeholder group. I do think we've identified the fault. And I
02:45want to reiterate, we see zero evidence of anything nefarious and zero evidence of anything AI related.
02:54So we want to be clear that we have an equipment issue and we're working through what this defective
03:00piece of equipment was. Again, as the Secretary said, was it a faulty installation? Was it a faulty
03:06configuration? Or was it just a bad piece of router technology that we put into this system that
03:11propagated these errors? And I'm excited about what's to come in aviation, aviation safety,
03:20but also efficiency in our airspace with less delays and cancellations. Thank you very much.
