Next for Jay Ratt left Jay, Welcome back to the morning 15 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.480 show. My friends always read wonderful having you on the show. Any pleasant, 16 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.239 good morning. Have we gotten over CrowdStrike yet? Let's see. Delta's 17 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.159 kind of been the one we've been watching of late, and yesterday they had 18 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.040 a decent day. I think yesterday they Delta only canceled I think it was 19 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.760 what fifty four flights, which was not bad. They had twelve hundred and 20 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.959 thirty eight that were delayed, but that's okay. It's the cancelations. It's 21 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.439 a big number. But fran Delta is kind of known as the carrier that 22 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.879 is known around the world as the one that has the best completion factor. 23 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.879 They cancel fewer flights than anyone. I remember a time when Delta went one 24 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.799 hundred consecutive days without a single flight cancelation anywhere on the planet. Wow. 25 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:57.400 And this past weekend they had five thousand in a week. Can you imagine 26 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.879 having more cancelations in a two or three day period of time, then you 27 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.359 have the entire year. That's how bad it was for Delta and other airlines. 28 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.280 It started with the low cost carriers for some reason, on Thursday evening 29 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.080 after six and then come Friday, morning, we had Delta United Americans just 30 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.840 grounded for a period of time until they were able to get things back up 31 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.400 and running. Delta's transition was slowed because they were having issues with their crew 32 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.360 scheduling program as I understand it, and the communication between the systems wasn't as 33 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.520 rapid as it needed to be. They were doing some things manually. It 34 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.800 was an absolute mess. Now you know. The one airline that was zero 35 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.879 affected, which Southwest. No kidding, because let me tell you why. 36 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.960 They computers are thirty four years old, so they're so old they didn't need 37 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.759 the updates. So they were the only ones. Like, yeah, what 38 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.280 you think of us now? So I mean it's using Apple or something like 39 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.800 that, didn't use crowdst Oh no, no, no, they got their 40 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.639 final quarter floppy ins drive still working. I tell you frequently. The seven 41 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.159 forty seven still receive upgrades in the cockpit using floppy discs. Oh that's hard 42 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.319 to believe. Well, on some that's exactly the case, so you know, 43 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.680 but they're used for cargo and those are beautiful airplanes, but they're gas 44 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.360 guzzlers, four big engines, and that's why around the world, for the 45 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.599 most part, they've been taken out of passenger service. Like here in the 46 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.240 US, you still have several carriers that are flying them around the world from 47 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.639 a passenger standpoint, but no, sadly those have been relegated for the most 48 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.080 part of cargo aircraft. And just what a beautiful airplane it is. They 49 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:40.400 still using a vacuum tubes in there. Hurry, crank pedal. Yeah, 50 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.120 it's something, but I say, for a lot of people that I've talked 51 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:49.479 to, it's the favorite aircraft to fly, no doubt. Anyhow, it's 52 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.800 just a shocking illustration to me. Moving aside from you know it obviously it 53 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.159 impacted airlines, but so many businesses around the world were impacted by this one 54 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:03.360 single company and one single upgrade to this one single cybersecurity system. It just 55 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.919 freaks the hell out of me considering, you know, the other implications, 56 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.560 like if something else were to crash, something that we all use and you 57 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.280 know, like cryptocurrency or something, what happens there was a glitch on that, 58 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.560 how do you possibly you can't buy anything, You couldn't fly a plane 59 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.360 over the weekend because of this. It's just blah. Computer. It is 60 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.920 a reminder of that when things go wrong, even in a little way. 61 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.319 Our life can be impacted in a big way. And you know, we 62 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.279 talk about stocks all the time, and one of the things you do is 63 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.199 you diversify. You never have too much one in one security and when you 64 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.360 have too much dependence on a certain thing, which for us is automation and 65 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.240 computer and you know, as we're moving more towards the artificial intelligence and going 66 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.879 deeper in that regard, it's there's some very concerning things as you go down 67 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.360 that road, because if they do backfire, if they do shut down, 68 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.879 if they're out for whatever period of time, if they're hacked, or something 69 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.839 like this just happens where you had mistakes that were made. Yeah, it's 70 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.439 something. And you talk about the hundreds of thousands of passengers, not only 71 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:10.360 from Delta but other airlines around the country where people for three and four days 72 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.959 that were desperately trying. We still have some people now at airports that are 73 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.399 trying to get there, and the ones that have gotten a hold of me, 74 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:20.439 I've told them, look, the best option is to give the ancient 75 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.120 alternatives. If you're trying to get to Orlando, tell them, look, 76 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.240 Daytona Beach is okay, Tampa's okay, Saint Bete's okay, I'll go to 77 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.680 Jacksonville as long as I can rent a cart my expense to get there. 78 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.079 And you always make sure there's one available, trying to give them options because 79 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.279 the idea of every plane nearly being filled already because of the busy summer travel 80 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.199 season, and then you have a flight cancels at one hundred and three people, 81 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.519 we're you gonna put them. I mean, there's just no place to 82 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:49.720 put them. It's almost six thousand flights too. That's just an or delta 83 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.279 you've got. I mean again, are the number one airline and completion factor, 84 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.600 and that's why a lot of people, including me, making my carrier 85 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.720 of choice because I can count on getting I'm always going to try to catch 86 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.439 you first flight out in the day because your chances of that being on time 87 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.040 are far greater than a flight later in the day that may come after a 88 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.240 day of weather delays that sad lay are going to catch up on that three 89 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.639 or four or five pm flight. So all right, well, we'll bring 90 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.399 Jay Ratliffe back. In the next segment, we'll talk about Katman Dude, 91 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.800 an Apaul plane crash, American Airlines flight attendants reporting a deal among other topics 92 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.319 with Jay Ratliff, he thirty five if you've have a kirc detaxation, and 93 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.399 I get to mention Chimney Care fireplace and stove. Love those folks, but 94 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.240 they really helped me out. An inspection can reveal some problems. And that's 95 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.720 why I always recommend, you know, take care of your comfort during the 96 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.000 months when you don't need the fireplace that's now, or take care of your 97 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.399 your ear safety that's now. Then you enjoy the comfort with peace of mind. 98 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.079 So you know, when I had Chimneycare fireplace and stove out to my 99 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.639 house, I mean Jeff keeper from the Jimney carefireplaces though, he just kind 100 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.240 of shook his head and he gave me this look like, yeah, you 101 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.519 don't want to use that. Well, it's because there was a heat venting 102 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.000 issue and is building up heat behind the fire box. It was a builder 103 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.920 special thing anyway, dangerous situation and I wasn't aware of it. That's the 104 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.759 beauty of an inspection. So out the old went and in went the new. 105 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.759 I got a new fireplace insert from the Chimney Care fireplace and stove, 106 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.680 a new lining. It's amazing it looks great, it works great. Absolutely 107 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.680 could not be happier. That's the way you're gonna be. So take care 108 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.319 of the inspection. They'll do a video camera inspection of your flu needs to 109 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.160 be swept. You get a certified chimney sweep there that'll do that. Maybe 110 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.399 you got water damage you don't even know about, that's possible. They take 111 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.279 care of everything, tuck pointing, cap and damper replacement, the sweeping. 112 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.800 Oh, parenthetically, get them to clean your dryer vent out. I know 113 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.279 if you haven't, you can't remember the last time you clean your dryer. 114 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.000 Event it's clogged, I can almost guarantee it. That just an energy problem, 115 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.439 but also it's a safety problem as well. Venting is critical. So 116 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.639 for all things fireplaces, free standing stoves, pellet stoves. Get it installed 117 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.480 and inspected over the summer.

Brian Thomas 121 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.560 with iHeartMedia Aviation expert Jay Ratler. So we're good to cot Man New real 122 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.040 quick, Jay, And I don't know if you know anything about our military 123 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.120 defense or nor Rad or anything. I don't know if you saw it right 124 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.839 before Biden's speech last night, there were two Russian TU ninety five bear bombers 125 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.839 along with two Chinese H six bombers found off the coast of Alaska. We 126 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.120 had to scramble our jets and intercept them to keep them from coming into our 127 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.159 airspace or something like that. That just scary in and of itself. But 128 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.080 you know the fact that the Chinese and the Russians apparently coordinating bomber runs near 129 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.000 the coast of Alaska, that's freaky. And knowing we're going to do absolutely 130 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.080 nothing about it. I mean, if you if you have certain people in 131 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.639 that in that Oval office, those types of things tend to not happen. 132 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.960 Thank you for putting an exclamation point on the subtle point I was making, 133 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.360 Jay Ratler. All right, let's go over to Catman do what the hell? 134 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.639 Only one survivor and what an amazing thing that anybody could survive. Yeah, 135 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.840 this was a flight out of Catman dou and it was a napollion airline, 136 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.519 SAA Airlines, and it was a regional jet. It was a CRJ 137 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.320 Bombardier two hundred series. It's the fifty passenger jet that we came to know 138 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:28.080 under COMMA air. It's taking off because this particular aircraft, it was taken 139 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.000 out of passenger service and they were taking it to another location for some maintenance 140 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.000 work to be done. So on this flight you had nineteen total souls on 141 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.039 board, You had fifteen technicians, you had two extra crew members, and 142 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.799 you had two family members that were traveling along, so nineteen altogether. And 143 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.679 the video from the airport's just terrific. It takes off and it doesn't get 144 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.360 much altitude at all before it banks to one side and slams into the ground. 145 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.679 Of course, fully fueled up in flames, it goes and amazingly the 146 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.879 captain survives. Now the family as of the last report I saw of what 147 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.799 everyone on board this airplane, which again I guess you can consider mostly company 148 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.639 employees or contractors. They're trying to find out what the maintenance issue was on 149 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.919 this aircraft they were going to fix, and it was serious enough that it 150 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.559 should have been fixed before takeoff, So a lot of questions right now, 151 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.080 and sadly no answers. And you know, Nepoll's not known for its exemplary 152 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.320 safety record an so, yeah, and that's one of the reasons. If 153 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.279 you're flying to different parts of the world where you're kind of thinking, I 154 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.720 don't know any of these airlines, go to the State Department's website and they 155 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.320 have lists of airlines that we should consider avoiding. That's all this airline was 156 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.279 on there. But it's always good when you're traveling because those advisories from the 157 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.919 State Department can really come out or come in handy. Now they'll tell us 158 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.720 which parts of the world we should avoid or which one have a heightened risk 159 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.879 where we need to be aware. And so for a lot of people that 160 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.759 like to take some of those exotic trips, and you know sharing I've been 161 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.399 on several of them, one of the things you do as your homework is 162 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.120 to find out if the airline you're flying you need to look out for. 163 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.240 So, because when we were in China for two weeks, one of the 164 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.679 airlines was Lucky Air and I can promise you I checked out Lucky Air in 165 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.120 China before we got anywhere near it. I imagine that's just tempting fate in 166 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.519 China. Well, Lunky Air sound advice in terms of to my listeners that 167 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.799 the State Department has a list of things to avoid in terms of airlines. 168 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.399 That's uh oh, yes, that's solid information right there, Thank you, 169 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.240 Jay. And you know, it reminds me that what Lenyard skinnered crash. 170 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.720 I mean they knew the plane had needed had problems, and yet they got 171 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.200 on anyway and flew it. I mean, is this crash directly related to 172 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.559 the problems that this plane was going to be treated for or do We don't 173 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:41.159 know yet. We don't know it's way because it may have been another mechanical 174 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.399 issue, could have been pilot air It could have been a lot of different 175 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.639 things that might have taken place, and it could have been in the speed 176 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.960 suggests not but one of the things to look at it was there any contaminations 177 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.240 in the fuel. I mean, if water gets in the fuel, it 178 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.120 can it can cause the engines to stop working. But the way this thing 179 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.120 banked and fell, it looked like some thing more than that, because then 180 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.159 the aircraft turns into a glider and the pilots have to find it what limited 181 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.799 altitude the rat a way to get that airplane on the ground safely. Here 182 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.759 the crew didn't have any time at all, it would appear from what happened. 183 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.759 And there's lots of times that we have mechanical issues on aircraft that are 184 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:22.480 deferable. They're not considered a no goo situation where yeah, we've got this 185 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.039 situation, it's not something that's going to be directly tied into the actual operation 186 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.919 of the aircraft, and we can defer it till this aircraft gets to the 187 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.600 next maintenance. Of that way, we don't have to cancel the flight. 188 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.879 So if you see an airplane, it's a lot like when people look out 189 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.440 the window and they see what appears to be duct tape on the wings. 190 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.240 It's not. It's the high speed aviation tape. And what happens is sometimes 191 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.120 one of the many thousands and thousands of rivets we have that are on the 192 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.840 aircraft, maybe a couple of them come off and there might be a slight, 193 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.080 you know, a flap issue where you've got with the caling engine or 194 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.480 something that is kind of bouncing back and forth. We slapped that high speed 195 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.200 tape on there by the mechanics then until it gets to the next maintenance facility 196 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.480 that's taken off. In those those rivets are replaced or installed. So a 197 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.840 lot of times you see that, you're thinking, oh my gosh. You 198 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.440 know, they take the engine nown and it's a deferbile item. It's something 199 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.600 that's very well controlled and the pilots and the mechanics in the airlines make sure 200 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.399 that everything is safe as it needs to be, so you don't panic. 201 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.000 It's it's not duct tape. I promise high speed aviation tape. Well, 202 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.240 i'd say a rose just go and you'll see tons of pictures of this stuff 203 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.159 with people freaking out they look out the window. I just say a Rose 204 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.799 Blane in the name would still smell sweet. I still say it's a duct 205 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.799 tape. Anyway, moving on, I can call it that. It's not 206 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.039 a lot more expensive than duct tape, I imagine. So let's move to 207 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.399 the Southwest airplane. I thank god this one didn't crash into the ocean to 208 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.320 one hundred and fifty feet. Brian, We've talked about Southwest four different times 209 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.519 on them. Yeah, we had the flight out of Honolulu, took off, 210 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.960 got to a thousand feet and then all of a sudden started to send 211 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.399 to four hundred feet before they corrected the altitude and decided to come back to 212 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.080 land in Honolulu. Then we had a flight into Omaha that was supposed to 213 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.120 be at three thousand feet nine miles out, they were buzzing a neighborhood at 214 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.480 twelve thirty in the morning at five hundred feet. Then there was another situation. 215 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.720 Then we had this one going into Tampa, which the aircraft I think 216 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.120 was supposed to be at two thousand feet or so and they were at one 217 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.720 hundred and seventy like fifty three meters or something off the ground, dangerously low. 218 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.960 And you have time after time after time where even with all the technology 219 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.840 that's at the disposal of this highly trained crew, we've had multiple situations that, 220 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.799 for whatever the reason, the aircraft, yes they're boeing, but they're 221 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.600 on final approach into some of these airports are taking off and there's a very 222 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.240 serious altitude issue, and I can't begin to explain or try to understand what's 223 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.159 causing it. Because airlines in the cockpit, you've got so many redundant type 224 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.360 things that you can look at, one of them being the pilots who are 225 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.600 going to know when you're one hundred and eighty feet off the ground when you're 226 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.679 many miles from the airport. That's just it shouldn't be happening, but you 227 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.960 can used to it. And the FAA has opened up a safety audit to 228 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.039 try to find out exactly what's going on here, and they need to because 229 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.879 this is unbelievably scary. Yeah, I'd have to change my shorts after I 230 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.120 got off a flight to front dropped down one hundred and fifty feet. When 231 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.039 it happened to Honolulu, I thought, okay, they came back because they 232 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.519 said there was quote weather issues. I don't know. I thought, prabby, 233 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.559 it might have been something happened in the cockpit, whe a mistake was 234 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.799 made, whatever. But to have one after another after another after another, 235 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.679 no, that in that short period of time. You know, I used 236 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.279 to think, Okay, maybe it was a training thing that's changed or something, 237 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.159 but no, you've got too much technology in that cockpit. And these 238 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.320 are I mean, these are professionals. These are a lot of these individuals 239 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.759 as we've talked about former military podcasts, and those folks are trained to the 240 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.679 hilt. Believe you me, they know what they're doing. And then some 241 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.759 so to have this happen like this just defies my ability to understand what's taking 242 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.120 place. Well, if you don't get it, I certainly wouldn't. Anyway, 243 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.519 it sounds like what could be good news. American Airline flight attendants are 244 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.519 pretty reportedly reaching a deal. Yeah, it looks like they've been able to 245 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.440 reach a deal finally with management. And they need to because right we've talked 246 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:12.240 about how these flight attendants make like twenty seven thousand dollars a year when they 247 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.320 initially begin so low. In fact, in the state of Massachusetts, they 248 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:22.720 actually qualify for food stamps even though they're working full time, which is crazy. 249 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.159 But I'm glad to see it because the flight attendants certainly need this, 250 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.360 and I'll be anxious to see the details in the new contract because the old 251 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.799 one did not have them getting paid when the flights are boarding and deplaning, 252 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:38.960 and obviously I'm hoping that changes because they're there in a safety mode, taking 253 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.399 care of us in case there's an evacuation, which the one we talked about 254 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:47.000 happened when they had a computer that overheated and they had to evacuate at the 255 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.600 gate. The idea that somebody's getting paid as almost a first responder. That's 256 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.240 how I look at them in that situation is again, just shouldn't be happening. 257 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.200 I agree with you all day long. You thoroughly convinced me the value 258 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:03.559 of the flight attendance, question about it. And finally I guess, as 259 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.160 we always do, let's close out on Hubblaye. How's it looking out there 260 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.440 for air traveled Jay? Righttlift. I wanted it'd be a good news day. 261 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.400 I really wanted to get to end on some good news. I can't. 262 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.359 I mean, in essence, draw a line from Houston straight up to 263 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.640 Philadelphia, and anything east of that is a mess. You've got Houston, 264 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.599 we're gonna have Atlanta, we're gonna have Charlotte, we're gonna have Philadelphia, 265 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.640 Washington, d C. New York later in the day. It's yeah, 266 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.759 if you're headed west, you're gonna be in a pretty good shape. But 267 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.480 unless your airplane's being routed through some of these affected areas, you know, 268 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.759 you may go be going to California. Say, do you have no weather 269 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:38.880 issue? Yeah, but if that plane's being rounded through Charlotte, you might 270 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.279 have some issues. So just make sure the airlines have a way to get 271 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.559 a hold of you. Get to the airport again at least two hours before 272 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.799 departure has been walking in the door, and it'll better your chances if things 273 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.680 go a little bit awry, that you'll have plenty of time to get it 274 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.599 worked out. Sound advice as always from my heart. Mediaba's next for Jay 275 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:57.160 ryle Loft. I always enjoy having you on the program. Jay, I'm 276 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.319 already looking forward to next Thursday and always best to health you in your better 277 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.559 half. I appreciate that. Thank you take care of my friend eight fifty 278 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.079 fifty five KCD talk station. Cancer sucks. I always like to point that 279 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.720 out. I don't think anybody out no listening on his disagrees with me. 280 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.160 Cancer sucks. And you have cancer and words you do not want to hear 281 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.079 from your doctor. And I know what it's like to hear those words. 282 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.200 It's a bad day. What you need are great cancer doctors, and thankfully 283 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.519 I turned to OHC at the recommendation my dear friend Jony OHC more than thirty 284 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.480 five years areas leading cancer doctors and of course cutting edge clinical trials and treatments. 285 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.680 That's what they do, surrounding you with all the best cancer doctors and 286 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.440 the best well, it's it's the peace of mind is what they actually give 287 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.480 you because they surround you. Then you need to focus on beating cancer and 288 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.920 you get confidence from them, and it's inspiring because there's a lot of reason 289 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.880 to have some confidence with the modern technology and treatments they offer. You know, 290 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.920 it's not a death sentence anymore, doesn't have to be. So if 291 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.039 you get the bad news and then I know what it's like, call OHC 292 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.880 or get a second opinion. It's easy to do. It's eight eight eight 293 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:06.160 six four nine forty eight hundred eight eight eight six four nine forty eight hundred 294 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.559 online it's oh kre dot com fifty five krs.
