We are a participant in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program, which is a voluntary program administered by the U.S. Air Force Air
Mobility Command. The General Services Administration of the U.S. Government requires that airlines participate in the Civil Reserve
Air Fleet program in order to receive U.S. Government business. We are reimbursed at compensatory rates if aircraft are activated under
the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program or when participating in Department of Defense business.
