But like with what Kevin and John shared about the complexity, the challenges with prior vendors, like what were some of the specific problems at the moment when you were introduced to Wings as a solution that Delta was specifically trying to solve to deliver better value to the business and to your customers?

I mean, we had a pretty archaic sort of system set up where some of it was paper-based, some of it was a lot of spreadsheets.

And certainly by the standards, we started that project, I want to say 2023, was that? It's been about a couple of years now.

How are you thinking about how, as you look at the Wings roadmap, the vendor roadmap, you know, as part of the ecosystem, how does that continue to evolve into, you know, other AI automation capabilities that you are going to leverage and drive business value going forward as well?

But not, not the kind of experiment that you would want to do intentionally, but, but nonetheless, it's a useful test case.

Tim GregoryGUEST
And of all of the cancers for which there was an increase following Chernobyl, the only one that had a statistical excess was the thyroid cancers, okay? Thyroid cancers are interesting, and they were caused specifically by a radioactive isotope that you find in nuclear fallout called iodine-131.

Tim GregoryGUEST
Now, in just the same way that your bones take in calcium and your hair takes in zinc when you eat it in your food, um, the thyroid takes in iodine, okay? It's a very, very iodine rich part of your body.

Tim GregoryGUEST
It's this kind of little organ just kind of there in your neck and, and the radioactive iodine rained down over Ukraine, Belarus, and parts of Russia, and because the Soviets tried to cover Chernobyl up, their response was very slow, okay? It was very delayed, and that, that first few days is really crucial because it's when the iodine is its most active.

Tim GregoryGUEST
It actually decays away pretty quickly in just a matter of weeks or months, but those first few days, it's, it's ...

Tim GregoryGUEST
We would say it's bouncing in our lab because it's really kicking out a lot of radiation.
