I called the airline CEOs and was like, Hey, can we use your planes? We're going to go get some masks to save America's hospitals. United Airlines gave us free flights. Atlas Airlines gave us a 747 for free. Ask your super rich friends if that's a good deal or a private, private plane round trip to China on a dream liner. I think it was 83 planes completely full. And then we shipped 500 million masks to America’s hospitals. It was very inspiring for everybody at Flexport to see like, Oh, like this is working. But it happened because you could make some phone calls, right? The whole world is like kind of naive optimism.
