[SPEAKER_B] Welcome to Airlines Confidential. I'm Scott McCartney, and this week we are going to peer into the future in several different ways. We're going to look at future air traffic control staffing because the FAA is out with some new numbers and new plans. We're going to look at future travel-related reality television, and we are going to ponder how airlines prepare for possible downturns and even crisis situations. With someone who has been through several of the biggest crises the airline history has ever faced. Welcome back, crisis veteran Doug Parker. Looking forward to looking at all that's going on these days with you.

[SPEAKER_C] Thanks, Scott. Great to be back. As always, there's a lot going on in the industry, but I'll tell you, hanging over everything is oil. It's all— if you talk to people in the industry, it's all anyone really wants to talk about. You know, how bad is it? When will it end? What if it doesn't end? All those things. That's what— that's where everyone is. And that's what airline leadership needs to work through. But there's a lot more going on. So let's get to those.
