In context

26 and 2027? Rahul Ghai: Yeah. So, Sheila, I think we touched on a couple of things here. As you said, we see good visibility into the second quarter. We have said—Larry and I both said—95% of the spare parts for the second quarter are in backlog, and all the engines that we need to work on for the second quarter are in the shop.

Overall, the business is strong, the franchise is strong, and I think we should be able to navigate anything that evolves over the next few months. Operator: Our next question comes from Kenneth George Herbert with RBC Capital Markets. Kenneth George Herbert: Yeah. Hi. Good morning, Larry and Rahul. Really strong spare parts orders in the first quarter. I am just curious—especially your comment on March strengthening from the firs
