For you, having come from a legacy carrier like British Airways and moved into a sort of, at the time, a relatively new carrier that was in this mode of expansion, is there something that stands out clearly to you when comparing the differences between the sort of legacy airline culture and the sort of startup rapid growth culture? Airline culture is?
A
31:01Alan StealeyGUEST
Well, one of the things that does stand out and always stood out and continues to stand out is that Emirates has very much a can-do attitude.
A
31:10Alan StealeyGUEST

A

A
31:40Alan StealeyGUEST
And we had to send teams of people across the world looking at the airfields we were going to fly into.
