Well we have actually expanded the fleet in terms of flying hours. Both the A330 and 737 have increased flying hours over the last few years in the vicinity of 20%. Therein is part of the issue of why we’ve only announced 6 additional 787s and not 8. We simply can’t push the crews through quick enough to maintain services. I’d bet money there are more 787s coming to possibly expand but we need to be able to crew the aeroplanes.
