engines, gas turbines, mr scanners and we take off these through sensor technology, maybe 10 taxpayer -- terrata and we can real time with our customers that have a chance to drive significant productivity and performance for our customers and we're focused on doing that. you know, one point of fuel burn through the global install base, global fleets worth $5 billion of profitability for the airline industry. one extra mile of velocity for our locomotive customers is millions in profits. if we can get ct scanners and mr scanners never to fail, to have 100% up-time, that's probably 20%, 30% more capacity in radiology in every hospital around the country. and so i think this focus on using technology to drive productivity is really important for customers. so these two things in terms of what works are ways that companies need to focus on their customers, to help their customers become more productive. and we think this again is a big pillar of opportunity in terms of what's working in the united states today. if you then shift gears and talk about people, because i think, you know, again human
