Speaker 5: my child is with me, never ever, ever, ever again.
1:44

1:48
Speaker 6: so I went against one.
1:49
Speaker 5: Of my my moral rules, you know what I mean,
1:52
Speaker 5: because I thought I would be back, you know, in
1:54
Speaker 5: time to spend at least, you know, some of the day.
1:56
Speaker 5: But no, it's still here. But you know, luckily she
2:00

2:12
Speaker 5: what it's about for me. No, it's not about that.

2:17
Speaker 5: with my little ones on their special days. But never again,
2:20
Speaker 5: I promise you, if it's my wife's birthday or any
2:22
Speaker 5: of my children's birthday, don't ask me to do nothing.
2:25
Speaker 6: Okay, I will not I will not be there.
2:27
Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, day, pre good morning, Good morning.
2:33
Speaker 3: You were stuck in the airport. Tell us about your
2:35
Speaker 3: horror story this weekend.
2:37
Speaker 8: Well, we did a girl ship to Miami, and I
2:40
Speaker 8: went to the airport at like twelve o'clock and I
2:43
Speaker 8: didn't get to leave out the airport it's about six
2:45
Speaker 8: o'clock because one plane was delayed, one plane was going
2:48
Speaker 8: to maintenance, and then they were canceling flights. And then
2:51
Speaker 8: I work at the airport, so all the Guardia flights
2:55
Speaker 8: going to New York were again canceled and delayed and
2:58
Speaker 8: coming in so it wasn't hot mess this week.
3:01
Speaker 6: Now, let me ask you a question.
3:02
Speaker 5: Doesn't that make you feel like like doubly disrespected being
3:06
Speaker 5: that you work at the airport and you can't get
3:08
Speaker 5: a flight?
3:08
Speaker 6: Do you ever say that to them? I work at
3:09
Speaker 6: an airline.
3:10
Speaker 8: Get well, see wee flight free, so we get in
3:14
Speaker 8: by So I already got accept that, but being.
3:16
Speaker 9: Rolled over, roll over, rolled over, I was.
3:19
Speaker 8: Just ready to buy a bottle. I was getting so annoyed.
3:22
Speaker 3: But let me ask you a question.
3:23
Speaker 2: If somebody misses their flight and it's an overnight flight,
3:25
Speaker 2: do the airlines pay.
3:26
Speaker 3: For the hotel? No, that's that's messed up.
3:30
Speaker 2: You think about how it's out of town, the flight
3:33
Speaker 2: gets delayed or canceled, and now they got to just
3:35
Speaker 2: sleep at the airport because they might not be able
3:37
Speaker 2: to ford another hotel room.
3:38
Speaker 5: You know, I thought I thought that was some legislation
3:40
Speaker 5: they passed earlier this year that they were gonna start
3:43
Speaker 5: paying with stuff.
3:45
Speaker 8: You want to sleep right out the way for your
3:47
Speaker 8: flight the next flight that they booked you. Sometimes if
3:51
Speaker 8: it's due to their thumbs and they might put your hotel.
3:54
Speaker 8: But that's not.
3:55
Speaker 2: Rare if it's Mother Nature, because yesterday I can't I
3:58
Speaker 2: couldn't imagine it was so many people in the airport
4:01
Speaker 2: that they would have to pay for a hundreds of people.
4:03
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's no way airlines are paying for that.
4:05
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say.
4:05
Speaker 5: That does disappoint me, though, that disappoints me because I'm
4:08
Speaker 5: a Jet Blue. I'm a proud Jet Blue flyer, a
4:11
Speaker 5: proud mos SAIC member. You know, I feel like when
4:14
Speaker 5: you cancel off flights, we deserve a phone call.
4:17
Speaker 6: Okay everything? Yeah, well know the most SAIC members. I
4:20
Speaker 6: ain't everybody. I said the most SAG members.
4:22
Speaker 3: There's a lot of most SAG members. They said, your
4:24
Speaker 3: damn text, don't they do it?
4:25
Speaker 6: Do it by miles? Okay, they know how many miles
4:28
Speaker 6: I got compared to other people.
4:29
Speaker 5: Do it by miles and call those of us with
4:31
Speaker 5: a lot of miles and tell us and then put
4:33
Speaker 5: us on the first thing smoking we should get the
4:34
Speaker 5: first write of refusal for these flights.
4:37
Speaker 6: No, I agree that.
4:37
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
4:38
Speaker 2: I think the million miles, the people that fly a lot,
4:40
Speaker 2: if you kids that flight, we should have first.
4:43
Speaker 3: Hello.
4:44
Speaker 6: Was this what Mike?
4:46
Speaker 3: Mike what's up man?
4:46
Speaker 2: You you you had an airport horror story the last
4:49
Speaker 2: couple of days, brother night man Man.
4:52
Speaker 10: I was fucking Tampa yesterday. I was thirty seventh on
4:55
Speaker 10: a standby list, and I knew right then and there
4:57
Speaker 10: I was it was over for me. Got to the
5:00
Speaker 10: point it was a United flight. They canceled three of
5:03
Speaker 10: my flights. I was stuck in the airport or even
5:06
Speaker 10: got so bad I went to the frontier desk. They
5:09
Speaker 10: had no flight for me.
5:10
Speaker 5: And then I.
5:11
Speaker 10: Finally, by the grace of God, went to the Jet
5:13
Speaker 10: Blue desk and somebody must have canceled their flight as
5:16
Speaker 10: soon as I went up there, and they wanted me
5:19
Speaker 10: to United, wanted to pook me on Thursday and be
5:22
Speaker 10: stuck in Florida for two more days. Couldn't do that,
5:25
Speaker 10: how to get to work, and Jet Blue got me on.
5:27
Speaker 10: So I'm a Jet Blue customer for life now.
5:30
Speaker 5: Well, at least Jet Blue did something for somebody yesterday
5:32
Speaker 5: because they didn't take care of theyre mosaic members with
5:34
Speaker 5: a lot of miles like myself.
5:36
Speaker 3: Damn it.
5:36
Speaker 2: Man, Well, I will tell this this is what I
5:39
Speaker 2: usually do. If you have a credit card, and most
5:41
Speaker 2: airlines will give you your money back. So if I
5:44
Speaker 2: do see a flight open up, I buy a ticket.
5:46
Speaker 6: I don't care.
5:47
Speaker 2: I just bought a ticket, and even if I don't
5:49
Speaker 2: use it, you can call, and nine times out of
5:51
Speaker 2: ten airport most of them will give you your refund
5:53
Speaker 2: back within twenty four hours. But at least I hold
5:56
Speaker 2: my spot on that flight, and then if it cancels,
5:58
Speaker 2: I just get my money back, put it right back
5:59
Speaker 2: on my car.
6:00
Speaker 3: I do that all the time.
6:01
Speaker 6: I'm with you.
6:02
Speaker 5: I just want better I want better service for those
6:04
Speaker 5: of us who have our most saying members on Jet Blue,

Speaker 6: Gold, or what's the other one, I'm diamond, diamond. Yeah,
6:13
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.
6:13
Speaker 5: If you got a belt Delta, we should be getting
6:15
Speaker 5: more respect and love than everybody else.
6:17
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, I'm a million midler. They gave me fifteen
6:20
Speaker 2: thousand miles from my delay yesterday, though, Is that enough?
6:23

8:56
Speaker 6: Guys?
8:57
Speaker 3: Patrick Patrick from Quiz?
8:59
Speaker 6: What's up?
8:59
Speaker 10: Man?
8:59
Speaker 3: You were stuck in the airport?
9:00
Speaker 7: Bro Now I'm calling on behalf of my mother and
9:02
Speaker 7: my sister. I had to get some situated.
9:04
Speaker 10: You know.
9:05
Speaker 7: They were flying back to Atlanta, but they got canceled
9:08
Speaker 7: out of LaGuardia. I had to drive them all the
9:11
Speaker 7: way to maca Careport in Long Island about this, and
9:14
Speaker 7: they still got stuck out there again. Now, didn't Baltimore,
9:17
Speaker 7: still trying to make it back.
9:18
Speaker 2: So you drove them to LaGuardia. Then you went to
9:21
Speaker 2: Long Island, which is in an hour drive to Long Island.
9:23
Speaker 2: Then you had to drive into Baltimore, which is a
9:24
Speaker 2: three hour drive. And it's still stuck.
9:26
Speaker 7: Bill, stuck, bro and I'm out of gas money.
9:29
Speaker 5: Now, Dan, let me let me ask this magic question.
9:32
Speaker 5: Is the weather that bad in New York? Not?
9:34
Speaker 6: Now, that's what I'm saying. Wasn't that bad yesterday?
9:37
Speaker 3: They said it was. They said lightning, and they said
9:38
Speaker 3: it was pretty bad.
9:40
Speaker 7: It was a little rainy, But I think it was
9:41
Speaker 7: I think it was the weather in Atlanta that was
9:44
Speaker 7: the problem.
9:45
Speaker 3: Now they said it was the weather New York that
9:46
Speaker 3: was the problem.
9:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, he said New York.
9:49
Speaker 5: And what makes it so bad is that when they
9:51
Speaker 5: canceled a bunch of flights, the reason people can't get
9:53
Speaker 5: out until Thursday and Friday is because all of these
9:56
Speaker 5: people rebook on all of the flights and they everything
10:00
Speaker 5: gets backed up like a backlog.
10:01
Speaker 3: Correct. But I'm with you.
10:03
Speaker 2: I'm with the people that stay with the airlines the longest,
10:06
Speaker 2: that that has priority seniority on the They should be
10:09
Speaker 2: booked first.
10:09
Speaker 3: Even if they got to put people back.
10:11
Speaker 5: That's right. I'm Jet Blue. I'm a proud most SAG member.
10:15
Speaker 5: I got a lot of miles on Delta.
10:17
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. I'm Silver. You know I'm
10:18
Speaker 6: getting the way I need to beat. I'm a million miller.
10:20
Speaker 5: But if they called the million miles and the platinum
10:23
Speaker 5: people before me and the gold I don't have a
10:26
Speaker 5: problem with that. But you can't, as if you can't
10:29
Speaker 5: just call people that don't got as many miles as
10:31
Speaker 5: me and book them on the first flights out.
10:33
Speaker 3: I'm with you.
10:33
Speaker 6: That ain't right.
10:34
Speaker 3: I'm with you. Hello, who's this, Joe?

Speaker 3: Dang, that's a lot. See.
12:13

Speaker 2: because it's an act of God. Right is nature when
12:18
Speaker 2: they have all these rainstorms and thunderstorms.
12:20
Speaker 3: So you can't really blame.
12:20
Speaker 2: Anybody because FAA is grounding these planes because they want
12:23
Speaker 2: everybody to be safe. But it is I mean the
12:27
Speaker 2: fact that, like you said, some people who like got
12:30
Speaker 2: delay Monday won't be able to get back on a
12:32
Speaker 2: plane till Thursday.
12:32
