One more big question on that. What is the prime age for Korry? With engines, it's clear—after 15 years, you might have one more shop visit, possibly to extend the plane's life. But cockpit visits seem more frequent, maybe annually rather than every five years. How does that differ from others? Does an older plane require more maintenance because things break, or is it consistent throughout the plane's out-of-warranty life?
I'll say there are two things that impact, especially when I was at Korry. First, as planes get older, things tend to break. So, yes, we did see a trend where, as the planes aged, there was an increase in the need for spare parts. The other issue was during specific maintenance, particularly on the cockpit, technicians would often break things, especially knobs, because they weren't paying close attention. We knew that during certain shop visits, we were making more replacements because they would remove parts of the cockpit and end up breaking more components.
