  Speaker 1: Tarisee the talk station A thirty on a Friday Eve.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It's that time. Always look forward to this. I hope
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you do too. I heart media aviation expert Jay Ratler.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show, my friend. Always love having
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you on the program.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to jinx things, but you're sounding
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: good this morning. Brother.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you man. You know I never know.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I've come up from the phone standpoint. You're your
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: usual outstanding self. I'm throwing a jinx on the technology.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, y'all. We have been complaining about the phone system.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You know, we do work for a media company. You
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: think they might have that one down, Jay, Addie Howe.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to bite the hand that feeds me
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: too hard, but sometimes it's appropriately placed blame and maybe
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: complaining about it out loud and maybe he's resulting in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: some embarrassment to someone might get the problem solved. You
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: know that's how that works.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I remember rolling into those new studios and having more
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: than our share fair share challenges.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It did take a while. It did take a while
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: iron them out. We will ultimately j all right, let's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: uh artificial intelligence going haywire over to American Airlines day, Brian.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: They've got this great technology and it is that is
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: designed to when it during times of irregular operation, it
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: will take Brian's itinerary see that there's a problem and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: will automatically rebook you on a later flight. So you're confirmed,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you have nothing to worry about when you travel. The
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: problem is apparently this AI systems alive and doing things
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that's not supposed to do. For example, Brian now shows
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: up in Chicago connecting. You get to your gate, you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: got an hour to connect. You get to the gate
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of departure for the agents say, I'm sorry, mister Thomas.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Your your reservation has been changed to a later flight.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You're gonna say, been changed to a later fight, Oh, yes,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you did. What's happened is this AI system is now
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: arbitrarily just changing reservations. What even if they don't need
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to be changed now is as if we need a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: kicker to the kicker here, it is the agent you're
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: talking to is locked out by AI. They can't change it. So, oh,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: my lord, American is having some issues here and they
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: don't need anymore because they're they're they're the step child
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: at this point in time. They see Delta United making
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars a quarter they're trying to make you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: two three hundred million something like that. But yeah, they
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: got to fix this and fast because the last people
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you want to tick off, especially or your big time
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: frequent flyers who are being told your reservation has been changed. Look.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I love the AI systems that airlines have, where if
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: my flight's delayed, I get the text message saying here's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: what's going on. Here are your options. What do you want?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I love that, Yeah, but to do it without me
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: even being in the loop or where what's going on
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: on a flight that doesn't need to be changed?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if it's making its own decision making and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: changing flights, it don't need to be changed. That seems
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like a pretty easy solution. No computer programmer, am I,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, with artificial intelligence actually writing code, why
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: not just go to one of the AI programs and say, Hey,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this system that I have here is automatically changing flights.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be changed. Can you provide me with a solution.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You'll probably generate code to do just that. But that's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that's where.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: What's it going to do next? That it's not supposed
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to have it's.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Going to build a smart bomb, Jay good lord, dirty bomb.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: It is. This AI journey we're on is going to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: be interesting, to say the least.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: All Right, well, let's pause on the Toddler one and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: stick with American Airlines offering flight attendants a chance to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: take a month of September off.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, September is, as you and I've talked about all
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: so many times, is one of the two slowest travel
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: months of the year May in September. You want to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: save a lot of money traveling go those months because
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: it's so slow. American, knowing that, is adjusting their schedule.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: They've got too many flight attendants, so they're saying, look
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: up to twelve hundred and five flight attendants, if you
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: want to take the month off without pay leave of absence,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we're allowing you to do that. And I suspect it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: like four percent of their flight attendant force, I believe,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: so they'll probably be able to knock that out with
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that too much trouble. But Americans, trying to save money
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: as they can, they just got done shaking up the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: entire senior management team, getting rid of a lot of people,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: replacing them with others, hoping that they can start to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: turn things around. But in the meantime, they're saving money
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: as they can, so they're gonna have a reduced flight
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: operation in September because again it is a very slow time.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And I tell you, some of these flight attendants have
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: just gone through this summer travel season with a lot
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of crazy people. I suspect there's gonna be plenty of
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: flight attendants they're going to be very very happy at
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: taking a month off just to get their sanity back.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know what, the kids going back to school,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: do they scent they have? I mean, they'll be a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: nice a nice, nice pause. It's like vacation learning there
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: for sure, even if you don't go anywhere.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Well I'm paid.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, out of control toddlers in the news aviation news.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That'll be next long with other stories with iHeartMedia Aviation
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Expert Jay Ratliff. I invite you to stick around fifty
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: five KARC the toography the talk station. Have you ever
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: been in a cockpit before? Eight thirty nine about kercit
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: talk station. Jay rallis on the Phoney's the iHeartMedia Aviation Expert.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He is nationwide and we get the benefit of him
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for a few segments around the fifty five casey warning
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sure every Thursday at eight thirty moving over out of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: control toddlers. I guess that's a problem, Jay.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and this one caused a flight to be canceled. Now,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: being a toddler, we can rule out alcohol was not involved,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and I doubt the toddler tried to storm the cockpit.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But what happened here was they're flying from Victoria, Canada,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: over to Toronto ten thirty at night flight and that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the airport has a midnight curfew. Everything has to be
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: take off by midnight. Airport closed. So they're ninety minutes
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: before that. They take off and they're rolling for taxing
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: for takeoff, and they the flight look back and they've
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: got this kid, this toddler is standing up in the seat. Well,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: they stopped the plane because every passenger has to be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: seated and secured in their seat, and this toddler was not,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't having anything to do with it, throwing
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: an apple loop fed I light attendants tried to help,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the frantic parents tried to help. They did everything they could.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Finally the captain said enough and we're going to taxi
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: all the way back the gate to let the passengers off.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: It's now well after eleven o'clock. Because of the past
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: oppositive passenger bag match, the security protocol that's in place
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: anytime a passenger doesn't fly, we have to remove their bags.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: We have to find their bags to remove their bags.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: So underneath they go, they try to find all the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: family's bags. By the time they do, Brian, it's now
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: twelve oh one. Airport closed, play canceled mm yep. Parents
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: felt horrible. Many of the passengers came to the parents'
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you know, aid say, look, it's not their fault. We've
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: all been there. Now, some people I know probably didn't understand,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: but you know, I mean there's times kids just you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and you can't exactly wear a mountain in front of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you one hundred and eighteen witnesses.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So now the old school remedy for that. And I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: do believe my parents were aware of this is a meme.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Wasa means well, yeah, drug them, I mean well serio
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: before before they went on a road trip, her dad,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Teryl Cooley, they would, yeah, they would, they would give
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: her some nice does Germany so they could enjoy the flight.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Now she'd go so it's you know, I don't know
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: if that's something that they'd done or haven't done, but
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you know, I suspect there might be a look to that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But at the end of a long day like that,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's just spent and you're ready to get
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to where you're going. And oh yeah, a few times
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I can remember Toddler actually causing not a flight delay,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: which is common, but yeah, one to be canceled altogether.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Not a shame anyway. We go to Malaysia where they
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: apparently are looking to drug test all crew members.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: You and I talked about a Malaysian Airlines pilot. Yeah,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that was caught smuggling seventy and fourteen ecstasy pills and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: was high on cocaine coming off of a flight. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Malaysian government, who's not really known for being pre emptive
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: or even proactive in some ways, came out to every
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: airline based in Malaysia, every pilot, every crew member, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: they're probably throwing in the mechanics as well. Are going
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to be drug tests in the next thirty days period.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: We're going to make sure that this is not looked
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: at as a widespread problem. We're gonna mif it right now,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and this is going to happen or there'll be consequences.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So airlines there are now at a point where they're
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: going to have to drug test all of their crew
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: members within thirty days to make sure a they don't
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: have anything going on and be to kind of show
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the public, look, this was a isolated incident, nothing that
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: we need to worry about.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Well, at least some of them will have a significant
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: enough buffer that didn't get the weed out of their system.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Well fortunately any of that stuff. So I don't know
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: how long it takes to any get rid of any
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of it, but yeah, I was you know, the Malaysian
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: government was the one that when that Malaysian flight went missing,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: it took them six hours to task for help because
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: they said no, no, no, no, no, we got it, we
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: got it, we got it, even though we had no
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: clue where the plane was, wasn't response, it wasn't on
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: its assigned flight path. You had so many countries that
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: were nearby offering assistance, and they kept saying no until
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the sixth hour and the it's like okay, but by
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: then it was too late. So that's why when seeing
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: him take this approach. Yeah, Brian was kind of a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: kind of a ugle.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no question. Now jumping forward American other American airlines
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: story that these always scare me because we have a
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: bird strike and it impacted the engine pretty badly.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it shut it down. Well, it caused its
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: catch on fire. Well, it backfired and there were flames
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: coming out of the back. I hate saying it caught
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: on fire because that's the suspect or gives the impressions
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: going to continue for some time. But what happened to
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: this plane was taking off from Myrtle Beach and went
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: through a bunch of birds. The porter left engine ingested birds,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: it shut down, the compressors had issues. You got flame
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: shooting out the back. Passengers sitting next to the window
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: looking out at this engine. I mean, these flames are
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: shooting four or five feet back behind it. And as
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the compression issues are occurring and they shut the engine down,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: they can power up the one engine flying Definitely, they
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: just turned around and landed. But there was so much
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: video of it from the plane and on the ground
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that it went viral for all the obvious reasons. But again,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: pilots are trained in fact that they practiced before they
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: leave the gate. When they're talking, they said, look at
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: this point of the runway, point of no return. Once
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: we're airborne, if we've got to come back, this is
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the runway we're going to use. They run through all
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: of that scenario as far as an emergency return on
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: every single departure, just in case something happens. This crew
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: knew immediately what they were going to do, communicated to
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: air traffic control, came back and landed. Wasn't a problem
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: at home.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that, Jay Rattleff, I'm glad to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: hear it. You know, an ounce of prevention. There, you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: have it. The reason why every single flight that's good
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: departure protocol, that's a pre flight checklist can they go through?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Is that what that is? Part of perfect? All right?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: A little more confidence instilled in me anyway with that note,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: now let's move forward. We'll come back with Jay about
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Southwest Airline passenger had an in flight medical emergency. We'll
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: do that and a couple other stories, and plus get
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: an update on hub delays. Don't go Away. Fifty five
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: KRC The Talk station. Fifty five KRC DE talk station.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattler finishing out the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: morning with some other interesting stories and what a crazy
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: reality would be to die on an airplane. This is
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: what happened the other on a Southwest Airlines flight.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Dallas, coming into I believe it was Los Angeles,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and a passenger went into a distress. As they were
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: approaching Los Angeles, flight attendants called for any many made
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: one board with medical training to assist, and they were
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: using the defibrillator doing all that they could, and sadly
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the passenger died. He was twenty two years old.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So the autopsy's gonna be conducted to try to find.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Out the cause of death COVID nineteen shot.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it was, but I can tell
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: you that this ryan that the family that would have
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: been travel perhaps with the passenger, and the passengers on board,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the flight attendants. I mean, I've been on flights where
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: we've never lost anyone, be where we've had these medical situations,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and they they're intense, and you have the entire plane
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: aware of what's going on. You've got a lot of
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: people that are praying and certainly hoping for a good outcome,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and sometimes it just doesn't happen, and given the number
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: of people that fly around the world every single day, statistically,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. But I tell
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: you what it does. It's just a sad, sad situation.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: You feel for everybody, passenger's crew, family that were connected
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: with this. Oh Ypefully they can find out exactly what happened,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: but twenty.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Two years of age, that is so sad. Anyway, Delta
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: passengers had to evacuate. What happened on this one.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: It was a flight ne Atlanta. They're taxing, the smoke
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: started to fill the cabin and the pilot captain pilot
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: demand said hey, we're evacuating, told their traffic control, everybody's
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: getting off the plane, and they did. The noteworthy thing
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: about this, Brian, I only saw the video and maybe
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: counted maybe forty some people coming down those slides. Not
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a single person had any carry on luggage that Delta
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: flight crew. I don't know if they were threatening them
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: with bodily harm or what they were doing, but nobody
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: came down those slides with all their belongings. And I
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: was shocked because every single time it's like, Okay, we're
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: gonna have twenty forty fifty. How many idiots are gonna
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: come down delaying the departure of a plane with smoke
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: in the cabins by stopping to collect all their belongings
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: before they get off. This Delta flight crew did a great,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: great job. Now there may be video out there. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: have not seen where that's not been the case, but
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: from what I've seen, yeah, they were all coming down
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the slides with nothing and I was shocked.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Oh please, it shocked. Well, based on everything you and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I have talked about over the multiple years we've been
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: doing this, I think you've always highlighted the ones where
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: people all have bags, So I yes, And is there
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: are there any repercussions civil criminal penalties? You know, you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: banned from flights if you violate the laid down rule,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: which is do not bring your bags off in case
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of emergency. I mean you're told that when you're in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: your h when the lady's talking about, you know, bringing
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: your seat belts and how to buckle them and where
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the exits are in the event of an emergency. So
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: are are there any risks to ignoring that and putting
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: everybody's life in jeopardy by getting your bags no.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I mean you might have a guy behind you yell
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: at you. That's about it. But yeah, you think the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: FAA would come out and say, yeah, see, if we
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: see this, we're going to find you a hundred thousand dollars. Right,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: That's what I would do, And and part of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: pre flight briefing would be like, well, by the way,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: if we do have to exit the aircraft and any
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: of you decide maybe I should grab that bag, you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: maybe the spouse who's with you will tell you that's
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: not a good idea, because the FAA could find you
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: up one hundred thousand dollars for delaying an emergency evacuation.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: The game plan is always to get everybody off that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: aircraft in ninety seconds or left with half the exits
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: blocked in limited visibility. Now when you think it takes
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: forty minutes to board that bad boy, and you've got
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: these flight attendants that are trained to such a degree
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: they can get everybody off that airplane if if everything
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: goes as it should and limited visibility half the access
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in ninety seconds, that's unbelievable that it happens unless you
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: have people that are stopping. We've had we had an
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: American Airlines slight number of years go on fire, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: it took three and a half to four minutes to
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: get our buddy off the luggage. The National Transportation Safety
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Board came out in the reports that we have got
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to do something because these evacuations are being delayed so
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: much beyond that ninety second mark that we demand, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the FAA has done nothing. And I tell you why,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: somebody gets hurt or killed, that's when that's when they're
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna, as I always say, they're gonna pull
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: a hamstring, run into the microphone to talk about how
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: much they care and safety is are number one priority. Well,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: then do something about it, because it's I'm just tired
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of talking about because eventually it's gonna happen. Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's exactly why I brought it up. This
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: isn't just question of you know, could convenience or something.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: This is a question, literal question of life and death.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: You are putting your own and someone else's life in
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: peril by doing that.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Period there was an Aeroflot There was an Aeroflot flight
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: in Russia. It got struck by lightning, landed the rear
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the aircraft is on fire, everybody's coming out the front exit.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: You've got a video of people coming down the down
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: the slide, down the slide, down, the slide, down the slide,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: and then there's like this fifteen second pause and the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: next guy coming out as three or four bag, big
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: bags in his arms, and down he goes. He comes
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: off the plane, few more people booming, blows us up
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: and forty fift people would have died. How many people
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: would have lived if that idiot not stopped everything to
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: collect stupid luggage, putting everybody's life behind him at risk.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And so we have a precedent of what happens and
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: we aren't doing anything out of it. It's you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: there's the list of things that we could do to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: make aviation safer or better is just it's not endless,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: but it's long. And the all stars at the NTSB
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: are constantly asking the FAAA to change this or or that,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and they continue not to do it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: But well usually they don't do it because they capitulate
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to the airlines, which it'll probably interfere with their profit margin.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: That law, that rule, that penalty, if you put in place,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: would not cause the airlines any issues whatsoever. Look at
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the video footage afterwards, grabbed them, find the people who
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: carried the baggage off, and then prosecute them accordingly. Problems
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: solve at least on that line, Jay rightlift, what's it
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: look like out there for travel? Let's get our hub
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: delay list.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Minneapolis this morning, Chicago this afternoon. Other than that should
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: be a good data fly.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Take advantage of it. Why you can, Jay rightlift? God
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: bless you, sir, love talking with you. Will talk next Thursday.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Do it again, and best of health and love to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you in your better half. You do, my friend, Thank
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you fifty five. Right now you're going a chance to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: listen to Congressman Warren Davidson
