side on thef off wrong strategy. ceo was speaking with bloomberg a couple of weeks ago and here is what he had to say about hedging. >> the recent we haven't hedged for the last year and a half's system with volatility. we lost about $4 billion cumulatively. you could take the view that while we lost that kind of money, it was an opportunity cost because oil prices were down and we should be happy, and we are. if we were to get back into the market, we saw a point where there were longer-term stability . vonnie: it sounds like he has a view on the hydrocarbon economy. he doesn't think it is going to result in oil prices have being higher anytime soon.
3:18 pm
george: i think there something like that as well. on the economic side, i think the -- i think before the u.s. we were pumping out oil in the middle of the country and we really lowered the price. if i think there are probably people in management and airlines who are thinking that oil prices are really lower for longer. is it easier to be unhedged in a world where we are lower for longer and we see bouncing around, but we have $50 crude to roll back down. they probably don't want to play that $3350 crude game. back in 2008, we watch when hundred $40 per barrel. i think it is a bit of a change.
