Transport committee Yes, indeed. You know, it's interesting.... As I have said a few times before, there are great opportunities because of the pool of talent. We, of course, have needs. Among the companies we've had early discussions with is MTU, which is a very well-regarded engine facility and wh

Transport committee Again, I've encouraged our maintenance people to get into these early discussions, but it really is premature at this stage.
