A commercial jet liner hits an air pocket and drops 277 feet. After climbing 175 feet, it drops another 105 feet. What is its overall vertical change?

Unless there is more to it than I think, but this is what think:
-277 + 175 - 105=-207 feet drop before it hit the air pocket, which is the net vertical change.
