  Speaker 1: Standpoint love Haven't I heart media aviation expert Jay Ratlift
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: on at this time every every week we got some
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: great things to talk about. Welcome back, Jay Ratlift, my friend,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's always a pleasure to have you on the program.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Pleasant, good morning to you. It's always always fun to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: be here.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna start with the late edition. Add on.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: There is it pronounced joby, Yes, Joby Aviation, Joby Aviation,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: which which is kind of a weird name. I'm considering
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: what happened to job as in the book of job
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Not quite sure.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: It's a great thing to do.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Considering also the mechanism of air travel we're talking about here,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: which is an all electric air taxi that you can
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you can summon via uber. This is an amazing development
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and I you certainly conceptualize that this might happen. But
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: are you, let me say, start out, are you inclined
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to even get into a joby all electric air taxi
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: for a spin?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Jay, Well, it's gonna be.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be, it's gonna be a short trip. It's
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: gonna have a certified pilot at the controls. So yeah,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: if that individual is willing to be in there, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: guess I could too. And yeah, they rolled it out
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: at the The Buyer Show. They had Joby Aviation. It's
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: now you can get uber air. It's gonna be on
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: your device, you can actually have that. They're talking about
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: carrying the first passengers later this year and it's gonna
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: be uh in the I believe it'll be in the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: United Emirates. It's going to take place. And this is
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: something that we've seen coming for some time. And again
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the idea of electric aviation has all kinds of issues
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: slash concerns to me. But the thing is it's for
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: short hops. They're they're talking about this. This is something
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: that's going to allow people to be shuttled back and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: forth to the airports into other places, and it's going
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to you know, alleviate the the just the maddening commute
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: that so many people have in certain regards. And yeah,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be expensive, I'm sure to begin with. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of things that are gonna
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: have to come in to play to make this feasible.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: But Brian, imagine going out to your driveway a little
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: air uber lands.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: You jump in it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You just you know, you just look at the traffic
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that that Chuck and all of them are talking about
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: down there on the.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Interstate and you land and go to work.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's something that would be really really
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: nice to see and look. Ever since the Jetsons and shit, I've.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Been waiting on this.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say that Jetsons. This sounds exact like
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the Jetsons.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: But how do I have to get before that becomes like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, a reality.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You know, that's the thing burning in the back of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: my mind on one of these. You know, I think
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: initially of, well, the battery is going to run out
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of juice, and what do you do if that happens?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: But I presume they have some sort of safety measures
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: where the thing will land before the battery conks out
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But have they solved that pesky problem of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: batteries just suddenly combusting. Jay would be a real problem
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: with five thousand feet I don't know that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: These are lithium battery power. That would be a big
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: issue for me. Yeah, But you know, the thought is
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that for two hundred miles I'm sorry, two hundred miles
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: an hour, and I think these things can go up
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: about a hard miles on a single charge. You know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have lots of leadway there. And obviously we
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: want redundant or backup systems as well. And this is
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: something that they're talking about. You know, once it's established,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: we're going to see it here.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: In the United States.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know where, and I don't know when, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the cost will be. I just
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: think it's going to be super cool on my Uber app,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: whether I use it or not. There to Sherry and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I were in Las Vegas and we were getting an
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Uber and there was a little box you could check
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: if you wanted a driverless car. And I thought cool,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and Cherry said, don't check that box. I'm not getting
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: in that car.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, just up and down the strip.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I just for one no, So you know, I deferred
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to my beautiful wife.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: That's mine. Had it been me by myself.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I had to checked that box and I wouldn't have
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: stopped until some car pulled up they didn't have a driver.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. I'm with your wife on that one too. Okay,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So we'll let the Saudi's work the kinks in the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: armor out of this particular Uber app. Enough in the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: flying taxis. But question if this does come to the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: United States, and I've seen recently that you can already
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: put an order in for your own forty thousand dollars
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: personal aircraft that does not require an aviation license. This
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. The FAA is going to be all
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: over this in terms of regulating it, won't it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: They're going to need to be. But I remember when
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the drones descended upon us, and the FAA was kind
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of behind as far as getting the registration and the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: rules and everything up and running for those.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: And you know, the.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Idea of a totally automated air taxi or an air
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: your taxi with a pilot in it. I am totally
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: okay with your forty thousand dollars, you know, experimental vehicle
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that doesn't require a pilot's license that anybody could jump
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: in and go in. That to me is is just
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: horrific in a lot of different areas. And I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it also, you know, adds a certain security issue with
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: it as well. You know, some guy starts drinking and says, hey,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: let's go over and check out the Bengals game. We
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: don't need to see will just fly. You just don't
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: know what's going to happen stuff like that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So I agree with you, But I was looking at
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the Jobe air They're really kind of the same thing
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: as those personal aircraft that we're talking about. They don't
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: really differ that much in design or anything. If I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: caught up.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Jibie programmed push a button and go, that's fine if
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: somebody's gotta fly it, I mean road Look, you know
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: all about road rage, my friend, big time.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: You know about it?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine somebody with air rage? I just that's
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: something I just don't want to imagine.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Oh no, And you know, and then the ripple effect.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You're flying around your personal aircraft and people start shooting
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: their laser pointers at you, and man, the list of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: problems is seemingly endless. Let's possible break Jay ratlive back,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: uh sleeping on an airplane? Hmmm more with the Jay
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: ratlif right for these brief words. Fifty five KRC dot
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: com this month here see deep talk station. Have you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: ever been in the cockpit before? Hey, forty fifty five
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: KRCD talk station ever had to sleep in an airplane overnight?
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Before?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratlin I heard media aviation expert on the phone.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: We're gonna pivot over to the loft tons of flight
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: where people were forced to do just that. What happened here, Jay.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: This this was a excuse me. A flight that was
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in Munich. They were preparing to depart. Flight was delayed
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and the aircraft is off the tarmac because there was
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: no gatespace. So once the flight finally was in a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: position to depart late in the evening, they put everybody
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: on a bus, bust them out to the aircraft, loaded
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: everybody up, planes preparing to take off. Further issues, whether
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: related than others, kind of creeped in, and the next
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: thing you know, it's eleven thirty, twelve thirty in the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: morning now and they've decided to cancel the flight. The
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: problem was all the bus drivers at the airport that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: shoudled everybody out there had already gone home for the day.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: So now you've got all these passengers on a remote
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: aircraft that's going nowhere that need to get back to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the airport that they can see out the window.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: But they're told, we don't have.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: The bus drivers, so we've got to stay on board
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the aircraft overnight until they show up the next morning. Now,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: this is not a remote airport. This is Munich, large
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: international airport. You would think Lufons has a little pull
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: they could have done something. I don't know, but the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: idea that everybody thought that airplane's about to take off
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and leave, so it was really of no concern operationally.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: But then when the flight canceled, it was kind of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the uh oh, now what do we do kind of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: moment and they had to spend the night. This is
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: an aircraft that had limited beverages, limited snacks, obviously, no blankets,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: not exactly what you call super comfortable. The lavatories I'm
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: sure were taxed. So I mean, you've got all kinds
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of issues on this thing, as these people are being
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: forced to spend the night on an aircraft that never
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: went anywhere. It was not until the next morning when
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the bus driver showed up that they shuttle people out
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: in the way they go. And I know if it
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: was here in the United States, I mean, I'm sure
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the airline would have cared enough to give us about
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: an one hundred dollars boucher or something. But I don't
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: know what they did over there. But can you imagine,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and people say, can't we just be they can bring
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: airsteps out where we can just walk down and walk
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: over to the air price. But the problem is from
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a security standpoint, you have to be escorted over by
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: somebody that's been badged for that airport. You can't have
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: pilots because pilots are only given a security clearance within
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the shadow of their aircraft to like when they do
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the walkarounds and things. They're not badged for those All
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: those airports their badge pretty much for their hub where
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: they're at where they can walk across the tarmac unimpeded.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: But you can't do that at every airport. So here
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you have flight at tenants and pilots that can't escort
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: people over there. And yeah, so it was it was
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: maddening for the people on board that aircraft, was they
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, again, you're frustrated because the flight's canceled. Oh
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: you think that's something. Now we have to tell you
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: we can't get you back into the airport.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: That is Oh my god.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You have no idea how bad I would be if
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I was stuck on a plane and looking out the window.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I want to go over there, it's right there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Let me out exist And then you're waiting for somebody
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to pop the door and go, and obviously the flight
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: crew did a good job of preventing that because you know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you don't want to have a stampede or but yeah,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: somebody pops that door, it's got the emergency slide attached.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah there's your.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Ramp and off you go, and you could add all
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: kinds of problems, but you know, fortunately they were able
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to contain it and the crew did a good job.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you've got somebody drinking that just pushes their
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: way past the flight crew. They can open up that
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: door and push it, and that that emergency slide is
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: going to activate and down you could go if you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: so chose.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Oh my sugguessing obviously to ever do that. I'm just
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: saying this could have happened then and did not. So again,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I think the flight crew did a good job.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Before we come up, we were coming up to a break.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Here just a minute, I want to ask you, I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: mean half of Maureen who is listening from Florida. She's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: always tuning into the morning show. Please ask Jay if
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the fires and alligator alley floora that's done by the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Everglades are causing flight issues. Are you even aware that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: there's fires going down there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Jay, I was not, but.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: There have been times when you have some limited visibility.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It has to be close to an airport where we're
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: going to have a flight advisory of some kind. Most
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of the time we're not notified of that out it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a volcano marine. Yes, I don't care where in the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: world it is. There is an alert that goes out
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to pilots around the world. Even if that volcanic eruption
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: occurred on it totally the other side of the planet.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Pilots are going to be made aware of it because
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that volcanic ash can be problematic yet altitude being sucked
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: into engines and you know, shutting them down.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like sand in the desert for military equipment, frightening
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: stuff exactly.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Yea.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: One more with Jay Radliff. We're going to talk about well,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a young man spotting an error. He's only five years
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: old and it was on a Southwest Airlines training manual
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: of all things. More with Jay rock Station, Happy Thursday.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Jay Radless on the phone. Hey, just a real quick
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: observation before you brought this Jabbi Aircraft company up in
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: these you know uber taxis I saw and it's a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: really great thing for the state of Ohio, notably the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: city of Dayton. They are they signed an agreement to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: acquire a manufacturing facility in Dayton, Ohio area seven hundred
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: thousand square feet and they're going to be doubling their
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: aircraft production, which is a pretty impressive thing with the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: cast that the company has on hand. So this is
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: clearly the way of the future, if this Jobe Company
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is any indication it is.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: And when you look at all the money that airlines
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: like United American Delta have been pouring into the research
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and development on this side. Not only that, but you
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: know hypersonic supersonic aircraft designs, and well, a lot of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: people are looking at this as kind.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Of a wave of the future.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Now we'll have to wait and see, because it's great
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to have electric powered anything. But as you have been
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: so good to comment on over the years, it comes
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: down to the production costs and what's the what's the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: fallout for producing some of these things that are supposed
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: to be better for either the planet or whatever. But
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: if they can't be produced at a price that makes
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it competitive, airlines are not going to touch it. So
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: that's really the challenge. It's a lot like those sustainable
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: aviation fuels. It's great to have fuel that has vegetable
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: oil excuse me, and other things that can be you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: created absence of fuel as far as oil. But the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: problem is can you make that available at such a
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: cost that the being counters at the airlines are gonna
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: be excited enough to go after it?
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Fair enough?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: All right, we got a young man we'll getting some
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: praise for spotting an error in a pilot training manual.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: This is such a good story. This is a student
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: at the Campbell Early Learning Center Jefferson County, Colorado. This William,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: this young man is a huge aviation geek, even at
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: five years of age. So he was given a tour
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: that included going through some of the Southwest Airlines types
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: of things like.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: The company training manual for pilots.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It's a comprehensive instructional guide for pilots. So this five
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: year old is going through this and notices that there
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: was a discrepancy in the section on the aircraft's terrain displays. Now,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: this five year old kid, Now, I think of the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: number of pilots that had been trained that have had
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: this as their textbook, that have not caught this mistake.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You have a five year old that looks at it
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and says, shouldn't these two pictures be of the same thing?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: It was a train display and they were not the same.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: The Southwest Airlines pilot who's with the five year old
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: looks at that and says, you know what, you're right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: So now Southwest Airlines is going to have to revise
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: their pilot training manual because of a five year old
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that caught a mistake.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: What does that say about all the pilots that have
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: been trained and use this manual? Catch it?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's just two good I mean, you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: people accuse you and I making things up, and this
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: would be a really good one if this was being made.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: This is you know, what was a Jeff Foxworthy talks
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: about are you smarter than what a fifth grader? This
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: is not a fifth grader.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: This is a five year role who's in preschool.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, in something else that neither Jane or
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I made up. I didn't realize we were ever accused
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of making stuff up. Jay, that's news to me, all
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: im boy. Way, Mariene's actually listening from Hawaii Hello and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Hawaii Marine anyway, I understand in American airlines, a flight
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was in a war zone or something, found a bullet
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hole in the wing. Were they flying over Venezuela or something.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: They had left Columbia, they arrived in Miami, yep, it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just an international flight that's you know, operating as normal.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: They land and they taxi in in part. There's no
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: issues until one of the the ground personnel noticed as
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: a hole in the wing. They look up and sure enough,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: they initially called it a puncture wound. I don't know
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: what would have bit them to get my puncture wound,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: but it turned out to be a bullet hole in
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the wing of the aircraft. So it was in one
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of the alions.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: So the.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Pilots did not notice anything that was operationally amiss during
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the course.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Of the flight.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: The aircraft obviously taken out of service, but now that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: area is on alert to make sure that there's not
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: anything that's either ongoing from an unrest standpoint, or anybody
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: targeting commercial aircraft that would have been you know, caused
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: for airlines to to throttle back and suspend some service.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: We've seen this in Haiti.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Pilots and airlines were warned in Haiti that there was
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of activity that was ongoing that was military
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: in sort, and to be careful, and we had.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: A south what excuse me, it was a.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines and a Jet Blue flight that were targeted
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: and shot at. Fact, there were bullet holes in the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: overhead storage compartment of the Spirit Airlines flight and you
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: can google those images. They're chilling, and Airlines obviously suspended
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: operations there until you know, the unrest kind of kind
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: of subsided. But yeah, I mean the idea of having
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a bullet hole in your aircraft when it arrives, Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: That'll wake you.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Well, if it hit the fuselage could have depressurized the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: cabin right.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Well, if it went through the wing, it's not.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: So much the fuel is the fuels in the wing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Is It's that, That's what you have torisbot is that.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: But keep in mind the fuel is let's say, in
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the center part of the wing and the alien run
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: in the back is is what was impacted. So and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: all that does is control the flight activity. So yeah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I mean anything with the.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Wing you don't want to mess with.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: But again, the fact that nobody knew what happened until
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: somebody noticed the whole certainly showed just just thank God
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: that nothing happened.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Kind of stuff that raises concerns and they'll be looking
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: at it because airlies, you're not going to put the passengers, pilots,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: flight to tenants and passengers or their aircraft and harms
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: way of any kind, and they will quickly err on
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: the side of caution if it looks like this is
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: going to be something that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Could be repeated.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: So thankful for that, Jay rattlif we always end on Hubblaze.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: How's it looking out there for air traveled today?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I got some issues south of US. In fact, you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: we're batting a little bit of weather here, but Brian,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: south of US, Atlanta, Charlotte looking at some significant delays.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: In fact, you can even go back to yea towards
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Atlanta and Charlotte. As it's moving up towards the northeast.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Later today, the hubs of Atlanta and Charlotte are going
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: to get a little bit better. But then we've got Philadelphia,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: New York that's going to start seeing some significant weather
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: related delays. So if you head it through Chicago, it
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: looks good. You're going through Dallas or headed out west,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you should be in good shape, but certainly headed south
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: or later in the day towards the northeast, you will
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: encounter some weather related delays that could actually exceed an
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Hour, all right, kay, Rather, I appreciate the inde, the inside,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the information and
