You made some comments earlier about the fees that you're charged by the government, airports and security. You know, being in business myself for many years, one thing I tried to do, both with my customers as well as my suppliers and others that I was in partnership with, was to make sure that our company not only ran smoothly for us but, more importantly, it ran smoothly for the people that we serve. With that said, and to enter into that true partnership, one thing that this committee asked for previously was for you to disclose your finances. Now, I understand you are a private company, and you do have that choice. Of course, to date, it's not been good, and the answer has been, “No.”
However, I go back to my earlier comment. One thing that I would be very interested in is seeing what that gross, that net is, taking into consideration the other side of the balance sheet, your expenses—some of which you've mentioned today—to see which areas we as a government can look at to partner with you to mitigate those affordability issues. At the end of the day, that's what we're here for. That's why we're here right now. We're here for affordability for the passengers.
I'll ask the question again. This is with sincere intent, as a government, to look at the possibilities that may lie ahead of us with respect to affordability, so that we can work together towards affordability for the customer. Is there an opportunity for us to sit down and have you disclose your finances, so that we can look at exactly which areas we can work on?
