Yeah, I guess my questions are more long-term, usually in the 12 month window not much changes, but I’ve seen people 
expand to be global carriers then shrink back to their incumbent countries, (eg: 5511, 3320) over the years with a few 
holding their own, or having some minimal international presence..

What will happen here?  I’m curious as there are usually some economic drivers of these events.  I’m not sure I see 
what would be a driver unless the business is losing significant amount of SEK and this is effectively a restructuring.
