My mom told me yesterday and 35 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.680 I felt so badly for she wanted to get Newsmax 36 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.799 went on sale yesterday on the open on the market. 37 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.840 Ten dollars a share was the open, and she said, 38 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.560 I was going to call my broker and have them, 39 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.920 you know, buy me X number of shares, and she goes, 40 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.680 I forgot to make the call. It went up to 41 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.000 two hundred and thirty three bucks before settling at fifty four, 42 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.120 which still had been a nice return on an investment 43 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:14.439 on a ten dollars stock. 44 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.280 Oh yeah, it was the thing that of course, it 45 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.800 was in the news as well. It was dipping and 46 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.680 doing some different things yesterday. In fact, I think we 47 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.680 used it once or twice yesterday, so which was nice. 48 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.719 But there was a lot of stocks that were moving yesterday. 49 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.639 And of course, with you know the pre markets down 50 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.759 two point seven almost three percent, a lot of people 51 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.120 are getting a little bit anxious. But you know, the 52 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.080 long term folkus, this is not today to look at 53 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:42.840 your portfolio. 54 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.960 Just go to work and go bout your business. 55 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.400 A man to that. Well, in the way you trade, 56 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.840 it doesn't really matter because you're not you don't hold 57 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.240 on to anything for a substantial period of time, no, Brian. 58 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.120 In fact, to some of my students right before we 59 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.360 went on the air at eight thirty, we were tracking 60 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.719 a stock near a dollar a share and they grabbed. 61 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.199 It and it went up to two dollars a share. 62 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.919 So yeah, my students made quite a bit of money 63 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.639 here just in the last couple of minutes while we 64 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:09.240 were on the phone. 65 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.479 That's great. You know, spend half hour in the morning 66 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:12.439 and you're done for the day. 67 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.919 So well, that's the right thing, because you know, the 68 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.319 stock market the next twenty years is not going to 69 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.439 be like it was the last twenty We've got a 70 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.280 lot more of the financial challenges that are before us. 71 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.080 And you know a lot of times when you look 72 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.639 at a prospectus, well every time on any stock it says, 73 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.639 you know, past performance is no guarantee of future future performance. 74 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:33.680 Of this stock. We all understand that. 75 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.000 But and yet I'm told the stock market the next 76 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.039 twenty years should be like it was the last twenty years. Well, no, 77 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.120 that's not the case, because we've got a lot more 78 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.599 challenges out of us and we had behind us, and 79 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.319 it's going to be very interesting as we move forward. 80 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.439 And that's why less time in the market for me 81 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.039 and my students is always best, because you just don't 82 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.520 know what's going to be taking place. 83 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.560 Now and what is your reaction to. I know there's 84 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.280 artificial intelligence. I've heard ads for them it AI trading 85 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.439 and that let you let AI do it for you. 86 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:04.879 I mean, is that is that a thing? 87 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.039 Oh, it's a thing. I think it's a dumb thing, 88 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.000 but it's a thing. Yeah, it's the same thing. When 89 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.360 high frequency trading came out of a bunch of years 90 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.319 ago where people said I just want something I can 91 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.720 plug in the formula, walk away and make a bazillion dollars, 92 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.519 And you know that's just not the way it works. 93 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.560 It's the stock market is something that you know if 94 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.680 there are certain patterns to a lot of different stocks, 95 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.040 and if you spot those patterns and plot your orders accordingly, 96 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.480 you can go from there. The idea of trying to 97 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.439 have some artificial intelligence do it, it's like people that 98 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.079 contact me and say, Jay, you teach people how trade stocks. 99 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:37.600 Does that means you're gonna tell me which stocks to 100 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.000 go after. 101 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.040 Absolutely not. I'm going to teach you to go after them. 102 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.240 So you don't sit around on your butt waiting for 103 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.000 me to tell you what to do, because that's what 104 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.680 you want to learn how to do it on your own, 105 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.120 not to have somebody tell you. Plus, when you wait 106 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.560 on somebody else, you tend to be playing follow the leader, 107 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.759 which means, you know, yeah, to be buying it at 108 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:56.720 a much higher price. 109 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.519 Everybody's going to bail, and there your whole lost opportunity. Hey, 110 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.639 real quick, here, we'll get one aviation story in that 111 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.639 I picked, and before we get to your list, I 112 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.639 saw this. It sounds insane, and I know you'll explain 113 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.680 it away, but American Airlines flight flying from New York 114 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.360 City to Tokyo, when all the way across the United 115 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.560 States was over the Pacific Ocean, then, because they said 116 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.639 it was experiencing a maintenance issue their words, not mine, 117 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.199 they turned around and flew back to Dallas Fort Worth. 118 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.920 I mean, I guess my biggest question is, Okay, I 119 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.240 understand I have to do that, but isn't there an 120 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.360 airfield somewhere like California they could have landed this thing. 121 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.279 Well, well, they want to go to their their maintenance base, 122 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:42.439 and it's always going to depend on the type. 123 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.399 Of the mechanical situation. 124 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.319 I mean, it could be a light bulb in the cockpit, 125 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.759 it could be some minor issue, but it's mechanical, and 126 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.879 if it's a no go item, they have to divert 127 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.519 to the nearest maintenance base. And for American Airlines, their 128 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.959 largest and most further west hub is going to be Dallas, 129 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:00.560 so that's where a lot of times they would bring 130 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.959 that fly back to. But it does seem kind of crazy. 131 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.040 Now they could have you know, parked it in let's 132 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.519 say La and then had contract maintenance where they hire 133 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.560 somebody else to try to do the job if they 134 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.199 had the specific part they rafter. 135 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:12.879 Uh. 136 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.560 But that's where it becomes a problem. 137 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.360 It's like, you know, if we go somewhere else, we 138 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.439 pay somebody else to do it and it takes them 139 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.160 nine hours to do it. We can bring our aircraft 140 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.360 back to our maintenance base here in Dallas. We can 141 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.040 fix it much much faster and then get these people 142 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.800 on their way more quickly. It's an inconvenience, yes, but 143 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.120 you know a lot of times when you say maintenance issue, 144 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.560 people think the wings are about. 145 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.000 To fall off. Oh my gosh, I'm going to die. 146 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:36.680 But it's many times. 147 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.319 It's most of the time it's a minor thing that 148 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.040 has to be addressed and looked at. Because again, on aircraft, 149 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.160 we've got redundant systems for pretty much everything, and those 150 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.600 backups take care of us. And had that been a 151 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.560 real emergency, that bad boy would have been on the 152 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.439 ground much much faster than it was. 153 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.279 Yeah, hopefully landed on the ground, not in the water, 154 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.480 if you know what I mean. It was it was 155 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.759 a boeing, by the way. Anyone, Let's bring Jay Ratliffe 156 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.480 back to talk about the issues he's outlined, including maybe 157 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.160 the airline industry is going to be impacted by the 158 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.319 latest round of tariffs. That among other stories with Jay Ratliffe, 159 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.639 will be right back fifty five KRC Hey, Gary Salvat, Yeah, 160 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.319 I love that. Brian Thomas here with Ahart Mediadas Nextbert 161 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.959 Jay Rattliffe. I know we touched a little bit on 162 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.839 stocks generally speaking in the last segment there, Jay, but 163 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.480 what about the airline industry specifically, Are they going to 164 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.720 be impacted at all by these latest rounds of tariffs. 165 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.000 That's a great question, Brian, and the answers yes, because 166 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.680 what we're looking at is we've talked about you and 167 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.199 I about the demand for summer travel has dropped, and 168 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.720 the fear is if prices start to go up on 169 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.040 some of these everyday items because of the tariff, going 170 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.720 to be less cash left over for for summer travel, 171 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.399 and that's the air The time airlines make their most profit, June, 172 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.560 July and August is like Christmas time, Black Friday for them. 173 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:53.680 They absolutely love it. 174 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.360 But when you look at the stocks for Delta, United 175 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.199 and American, their prices stock prices have dropped. Third twenty 176 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.959 percent in just the last month, and that's because they're 177 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.519 already seeing this softness at a time when they're supposed 178 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.680 to be making quite a bit of money. In fact, 179 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.279 the only airline who seems to be bucking that trend 180 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.560 to Southwest. Their price has increased about fifteen percent over 181 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.600 the last month because in part that decision they made 182 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.959 to start charging for check luggage was viewed as a 183 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.319 very good thing and something that's going to increase their 184 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.160 revenue flows kind of offset some of the hit there. 185 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.319 But yeah, the demand for travel right now is something 186 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.519 that is a concern at least domestically, and airlines are 187 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.840 really hoping that this drop off in the demand for 188 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.759 travel doesn't start to extend to international travel because they 189 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:42.240 make more profit or yield for passenger on international flights 190 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.879 as we do on domestic and the last thing you 191 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.919 want to do is start to see that the international 192 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.200 side starts us often as well, because airlines are used 193 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.559 to making quite a bit of money, and you know, 194 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.240 anytime that you see this kind of a serious pullback, yeah, 195 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.240 there's a lot of concerns, and rightfully so. 196 00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.679 Well, and you also wonder about I know, there was 197 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.879 that sort of the quick impact of the vast reduction 198 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.559 in travel from Canada into the United States because of 199 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.320 the tariff discussion and the fifty first state nonsense. You 200 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.360 wonder if you know the rest of the world, European 201 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.440 Union and others who we probably get a lot of 202 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.240 back and forth traffic from, if they too will choose 203 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.039 to stay out of our playground. 204 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:21.320 Well, you know it will be. 205 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.039 But the other thing they recognize as tourism is a 206 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.720 huge part of the economic engine for a lot of 207 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.240 those European destinations. And it's one thing to say that 208 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.039 you want to do it, but then it's another thing 209 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.639 to say, are we willing to turn down this much 210 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.639 revenue coming in from a tourism basis from places around 211 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.120 the world, including the United States, and for a lot 212 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.519 of individuals and a lot of countries. They may talk 213 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.240 a good game, but the last thing they want to 214 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.879 do is to see a reduction in any sort of 215 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.799 that inflow of the tourism dollars. So I suspect that 216 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.879 that would be resisted, but you never know. I mean, 217 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.879 sometimes decisions are made that are absolutely asinine, and sometimes 218 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.399 it's just to make a point, regardless the fact that 219 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.039 it's going to really hit you long term on some things. 220 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.279 So it's gonna be interesting to see. But look, a 221 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.399 lot of people that are very savvy travelers have booked 222 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.559 their cruises through the Mediterranean and their European vacation's last 223 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.720 fall for this upcoming summer, so they're already planning on going. 224 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.200 Their reservations have been made, their bags will soon be 225 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.840 packed and away they go. So I mean, there's you 226 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.519 hope there's not gonna be too much of a change 227 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.600 in what's going to be taking place as far as 228 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.679 the reduction in available seats because that's going to impact 229 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.600 individuals who already have their reservations. 230 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.559 Damn in that. All Right, another out on the wing 231 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.000 emergency evacuation. Didn't this just happen? 232 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:37.320 Jay? 233 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.159 It did, but this one was a little bit more common. 234 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.840 Control of it was American Eagle flight flying from Charlotte 235 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.000 to Augusta, Georgia. Thirty five minute flight or something pretty short. 236 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.639 But in the process of landing, smoke started to fill 237 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.360 the cabin and once it was on the ground, captain 238 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.759 ordered everybody out emergency evacuations. 239 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.720 Passengers exited out over. 240 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.919 The wings and then they jumped off the wing down 241 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.559 to the ground. Now Fortunately it was a Bombardier nine hundred, 242 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.759 so the distance from the ground to the wing was minimal. 243 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.480 But here we got lots of videos of people that 244 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.759 were walking around, and I'm pleased to say that all 245 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.000 carry on bags appear to be safe by all the 246 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.519 ones that we've seen people take off the airplane they're 247 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.039 supposed to be leaving behind. But my biggest takeaway on 248 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.879 that was nobody was really helping anybody down off the aircraft, 249 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.879 get on the plane, pull out your phone. And I 250 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.799 think the last guy off was a poor guy that 251 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.000 was traveling with his dog, and out he comes out 252 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.679 of the emergency evacuation area there as far as the window, 253 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.919 and I'm thinking I thought it would have been children, 254 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.320 women and pets first before the men, but apparently. 255 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.240 Not well, And isn't the wing. Isn't that where the 256 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.600 fuel is stored? J It is okay. 257 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:54.279 Well, you know, if there is fire, then post haste, get. 258 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:54.679 Your butt out of it. 259 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.679 That's exactly what I was forgetting about. 260 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.440 Pulling your phone out. But you know, there was any 261 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.200 apparent fire. And when you got outside the airplane, I 262 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.039 mean the captain was standing on the top of the 263 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:08.480 steps and it looked like a pretty controlled type of thing. 264 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.360 They're waiting for the emergency vehicles to arrive a to 265 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.200 make sure that if a fire does break out, that 266 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.360 can take care of it and be the transports and 267 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.000 passengers back over to the terminal. So they were airing 268 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.559 on the side of caution, which is what we do 269 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.639 in aviation, and got everybody out. It's you know, the 270 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.000 NTSB is going to look at this and say, was 271 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.399 all the proper procedures followed as far as the Federal 272 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.080 Aviation Administration as well, to make sure that we can 273 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.679 learn if the next time this happens, if we can 274 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.720 do anything any better. And yeah, that's one of the 275 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.279 great things about the National Transportation Safety Board. 276 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.720 I talk about it all the time. They're an all 277 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.759 star team and. 278 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.399 Anytime there's an accident or near accident, they're called in 279 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.480 to investigate. They look at everything saying can we do 280 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.720 this better next time so that we can save lives 281 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.360 as a result. 282 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.399 Well, we got an NTSB report to talk about. Plus 283 00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.600 are I always close on with hub delays? We'll plus 284 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.399 from bring Jay back. 285 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:01.720 Yeah. 286 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.200 Well, that's why I don't want to take this one long, 287 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.519 because I know you need to give a little more 288 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.960 information on that, which we'll do. It's a forty five 289 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:12.080 right now, Stick around fifty five KRC. 290 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:15.360 Nine. 291 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:19.200 First weather forecast.

There's an accident at Old seventy four, 302 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.000 backing traffic through Batavia to Bower Road. It's even slowing 303 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.759 traffic a bit eastbound. There's a wrecked northbound on the 304 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.159 just before to seventy five. Chuck Ingram on fifty five 305 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.039 KRC the talk station. 306 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.360 On a Friday e chech Friday with Dave hat or 307 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:17.320 tomorrow every Friday at six point thirty. Meanwhile, one more 308 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.919 session here and I appreciate him holding over here, Jay Rattle. 309 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.639 If I hear at media aviation expert kind of an 310 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:27.279 NTSB report which doesn't give me any comfort, and you. 311 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.240 Don't know all the specifics. Uh no, buckle up for 312 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:30.639 this one. 313 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:34.159 But this was a Delta Airlines flight that was taking 314 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:39.200 off from Washington's Reagan Airport and as they did, an 315 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.720 Air Force T thirty eight was taking off and flew 316 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.759 underneath them and we it was what we call a 317 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.720 close proximity event. And Brian the NTSB was called in 318 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.120 to investigate this as far as taking place. A Delta 319 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.240 crew is not happy radio going back to air Traffic Control, Hey, 320 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.320 we had an aircraft that was about five hundred feet 321 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.639 below us as we taking off and the towers set affirmative. 322 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.600 We've got that as well. 323 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.720 But the NTSB filed their report and they're looking at 324 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.360 the occurrences that have taken place at the DC airport 325 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.840 as far as the close proximity report and they said, 326 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.759 in the last three years, we've had fifteen thousand instances 327 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.399 at that airport where we've had a close proximity event. 328 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.480 WHOA, yeah, I told you you would not not like it. 329 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.399 So I was going to ask you to give me 330 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.240 the number that you thought we would have had as 331 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.440 far as at that single airport, how many close proximity 332 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:34.679 events we've had in three years? And I mean, you 333 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:35.799 know if fifty would have. 334 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.120 Been too many, well that's exactly the number that was 335 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:39.080 thinking of. Fifty. 336 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:40.799 Yeah, yeah, you're welcome. 337 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.919 So what happened here is the NTSB issues this report, 338 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.799 and what it shows is that the Federal Aviation Administration, 339 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.960 who wasn't oblivious to this, knew that we were having 340 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.679 issues at a major airport in the Northeast, and for 341 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:59.080 some strange, inexplicable reason, nothing substance, it was being done. 342 00:15:59.200 --> 00:15:59.320 Now. 343 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.240 It took the craft before we finally said, okay, no 344 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:05.519 more helicopters flying across to mcriver. We're going to get 345 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.519 rid of that so that we don't have that intersect 346 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.080 between that river traffic and aircraft that are taking off 347 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.080 and landing on runway three to three. But the issue is, 348 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.320 at what point in time do you stop and say 349 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.240 we're just tempting fate here. It's not a matter of 350 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.279 if we're going to have an accident, it's a matter 351 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.639 of when is something going to happen because we have 352 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.360 fifteen thousand situations. 353 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.200 I mean break that down. 354 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.519 You're talking about five thousand a year, and that type 355 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.799 of frequency says, it screams to me, something has to 356 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.559 be done. And that's my frustration so many times with 357 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.159 the industry, and it has been that way for the 358 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.679 last forty years, is that it takes an accident and 359 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.840 almost a loss of life before we make the changes 360 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.360 that need. 361 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.600 To be made. 362 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.080 And Bran, I'm not saying close the airport, but I'm 363 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.200 certainly saying that you have a known issue there. You 364 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.919 have some very very smart people that work for the 365 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.840 Federal Aviation Administration, and of course you've got that all 366 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.000 star team of the NTSB there as well. Figure out 367 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:07.000 a way that you can keep these airplanes, both military 368 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.119 and commercial flights safer. And the fact that we didn't 369 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:11.839 is just inexcusable. 370 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:14.839 Well, I'll grant you that, who could now who could 371 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.640 argue with that? But you know, you say close close 372 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.039 proximity and when you say five hundred feet, I say 373 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.000 that's pretty damn close when it comes to some airplanes. 374 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.599 Is what is the farthest thing away with two aircraft, 375 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.559 the farthest distance away, that would still be the outer 376 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.200 let's say, the outer limit of what would constitute a 377 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.200 quote unquote close proximity event. 378 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.759 We like one thousand feet in more separation, So anything 379 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.680 less than that is certainly going to be considered what 380 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.319 a close proximity. But this one was so close that 381 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.759 the Delta crew, through their traffic collision avoiding system, was 382 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:54.000 ordered to for evasive action just to get out of 383 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.200 the airspace where that situation. 384 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:56.559 Was taking place. 385 00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.680 And when that takes place, you know, okay, it's a 386 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.000 situationation that's serious, and you know that's why to me, 387 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.440 when you look at this, it's got to be a priority. 388 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.880 And the fact that it wasn't a priority makes me 389 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.880 worry a about that airport. But then I worry about 390 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:13.920 other airports. You know, where else are we having a 391 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.240 lot of these close proximity events that's not really being 392 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.559 readily apported reported, and that could be the next concern 393 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:25.640 as far as an accident or near accident. And yes, 394 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.240 we can hire additional air traffic controllers. That's going to 395 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.440 be needed, and I'm glad to see that the goal 396 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.000 is to hire two thousand this year versus the fifteen 397 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.839 excuse the fifteen hundred we had last year. But that 398 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.200 only takes us so far. If you've got a system 399 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:42.279 in place that, regardless of how many air traffic controllers 400 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.880 you have, allow this type of traffic intersect to take 401 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.720
