Chuck Ingram on fifty 19 00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.479 five KRC, the talk station. 20 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:02.799 It's a thirty on a Thursday, which means it's time 21 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.599 for iHeart MEATI Aviation expert Jay Ratliffe always enjoyed this 22 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.159 segment talking with Jay, just like I enjoyed talking with 23 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.439 him and his beautiful bride yesterday Listener to Lunch, Jay Ratliffe, 24 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.760 So great, senior at Listener to Lunch yesterday. 25 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.359 It was a nice relaxed environment. And rarely, as you know, 26 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.879 given my schedule with my training in the stock market, 27 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:23.920 can I take some time off. 28 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.519 But I told you that it was it was needed. 29 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.400 And yeah, that way you can meet Cherry, and when 30 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.439 I brag on her, you'll know exactly what I'm talking. Oh, 31 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.200 I knew you got to meet your beautiful your beautiful wife. 32 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.159 So yeah, we're we're in the same same boat there, pal. 33 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.480 Yeah we both outkicked our coverage and yeah we both 34 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.680 offered each other proof of that. Although I always took 35 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.640 you at your word, there's no man out there who's 36 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.200 not happily married, who regularly goes online and talks and 37 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.519 praises his wife all the time. And uh so wedded 38 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.560 bliss you got, and that's a great thing. 39 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.040 Jay Ratt still trying to figure out the out kicked 40 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.319 the coverage comment, but. 41 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.000 Like what does that mean? Explained later. 42 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.120 That's great, eddiehow turning over to something that's been rumbling 43 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.840 around has been rumbling around out there for I don't 44 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.319 know more than like it seems like twenty years real 45 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.400 id it's now a thing, although apparently you don't necessarily 46 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.280 need a real idea to fly. Where are we on this, 47 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.639 Jay Ratliffe, Well, the. 48 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.400 TSA told us early on, even though we've known about 49 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.960 this for twenty years and we've talked about it constantly, 50 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.919 where you had to have the TSA approved driver's license 51 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.599 to fly get into federal courthouses, et cetera, et cetera. 52 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.800 They said, there's going to be twenty to twenty five 53 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.520 percent of the people still that are going to show 54 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.159 up this week after the deadline is here and not 55 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.599 have what they need. Now, the TSA is not going 56 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.560 to turn us away, but what they are going to 57 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.439 do is they have a kind of an enhanced. 58 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:48.639 Security protocol they're going to follow. 59 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.599 It's going to take a lot more time and you 60 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.120 are going to be subjected to some indepth screening and 61 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.400 it's a hassle. But if you don't have what you need. 62 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.240 It's the best way to get you on the plane. Well, 63 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.360 if you're not sure what the Ohio Real ID driver's 64 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.439 license new and improved looks like, just a quick Google 65 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.439 image search will give you what you need. But if 66 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.520 you don't have it, get to the airport extra early 67 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.400 and I mean like three hours before departure, and then 68 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.319 work your way through. Now, eventually the TSA will reach 69 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.000 that point of no return where okay, the great period 70 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:21.400 is over. 71 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.360 Now you have to have what you need to fly. 72 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.759 And I certainly wouldn't push that too far because I 73 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.719 don't know how long it's going to be. Because it's 74 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.560 a lot like if you lose your bill fold in 75 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.800 the West Coast and you got to fly back Holm. 76 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.000 You're thinking, oh, I don't have my ID. Well, the 77 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.639 TSA is going to work with you. They're going to 78 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.800 get you on board the flight. They do have protocol 79 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.039 for that, and they're doing everything they can here. And 80 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.240 as I've said so many times before, hats off to 81 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.080 the US government. I rarely say that for rolling this 82 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.719 out in the slowest travel month of the year in May. 83 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.280 They did it at a time when they knew things 84 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.719 were going to be slow there's going to be an 85 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.400 implementation period, and it's going to take passengers and the 86 00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.919 TSA agents, you know, a little extra time to get 87 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.439 through things. And so far, so good. No, you know, 88 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.319 screaming long lines at the security checkpoint or a lot 89 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.120 of stories that have gone viral as a result of this, 90 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.719 which tells me that everybody's handling it pretty well well. 91 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.600 I would imagine. Does it take really that long to 92 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:18.759 do a body cavity search? 93 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:18.959 There? 94 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.079 Jay, I have this vision rubber gloves? 95 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.600 Yeah, right this way, sir. Yeah, we'll teach you not 96 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.839 to have the right right. I'll have it next time, 97 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:30.800 I promise. 98 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.240 I swear to God, I'll go to the d m V. 99 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.480 I'm not even gonna fly now, I'm gonna go get 100 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:36.160 it exactly. 101 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.800 Oh my, So, and you be fun. 102 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.240 It would be fun to do that, just just the 103 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.519 just the premise of seeing people's reaction, having a little 104 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.399 a little fun at the airport. Not planning to do it, 105 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.920 of course, right, you know, you having fun at work? 106 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.160 You know, you and I get to do it, but 107 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.279 so many other people can't. 108 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.839 Isn't that the truth? I don't measure. There's a whole 109 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.079 lot of levity among the TSA folks. Yeah, we have 110 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.160 one of the guys to stand there and when when 111 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.800 the new people come up, put a pair of rubber 112 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.000 gloves on, say follow me. I think that would be hilarious. 113 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.399 I saw as for other things. 114 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.120 But yes, real quick here, well we'll part company for 115 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:16.519 a brief commercial break. But just a quick topic. I 116 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.800 saw a couple of United Airlines planes clipped wings, trying 117 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.240 to depart in San Francisco. The one was backing, being 118 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.160 pushed back from its journey and ran into a Hong 119 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.839 Kong bound United Airlines flight on the ground there. And 120 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.800 I know air traffic controllers don't control the ground space 121 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.560 least that's what I read, But I mean, you think 122 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.399 that they'd be looking around their environment before they start 123 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.319 pushing back. And because you know, you clip a wing, 124 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.160 that means the plane's not gonna be able to fly. 125 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.600 Well, neither one of them. More than five hundred people 126 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.279 were on both flights. So when you have that, we 127 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.079 call it swapping paint. And the pilots, of course, are 128 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.240 not in control. It's being pushed back by the ground 129 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.519 crew and you have teams that surround the airplane, so 130 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.759 it's a very slow process. Yeah, everybody's looking, everybody's communicating. 131 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.720 So from airline management, when this happened, it would drive 132 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.879 us absolutely out of our mind because now you have 133 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.879 two airplanes with five hundred people. You have to take 134 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.639 both those planes out of commission. You have to now 135 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.480 bring resources from other parts of the airport that we're 136 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.920 supposed to be doing other jobs to get the bags 137 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.839 off both planes so that we can try to reaccommodate 138 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.199 the passengers. And it creates a lot of last minute 139 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.199 chaos that you have to deal with simply because people 140 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.360 weren't doing their job. And you know they're taught. If 141 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.439 there's a problem, a question, you stop, you make sure 142 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.439 everything's okay. But when people get in a hurry you 143 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.000 have this happen. It's not dangerous, but when it happens 144 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.439 and you feel that thud, you're thinking, well, you know, 145 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.319 this plane's not going anywhere because the maintenance crew has 146 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.639 to come out, and it is a huge inconvenience. 147 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:47.959 For those people. 148 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.120 But look, people were waiting on that plane at the 149 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.839 destination and they don't have a lot of extra planes 150 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.879 sitting around where they'll go, well, we'll just substitute this 151 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:55.759 one for that one. 152 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.360 Sometimes that's not the case. Sometimes we can. Most of 153 00:06:58.399 --> 00:06:58.959 the time we can. 154 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.560 Yeah, this is such an obvious I mean, planes are big. 155 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.000 You've got two hundred and fifty people out of a 156 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.800 giant object. How you could even have this happen? Recognizing 157 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:09.000 exactly what you're. 158 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.560 Brian, you've seen at the airport. We all those great, 159 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.600 big windows and you look out and a lot of 160 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.560 times these aircraft are stacked, you know. Yeah, Premium. Premium 161 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.439 is the real estate word at the airports because there's 162 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.439 just not a whole lot of room on that ground. 163 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.800 And when you throw in a lot of ground equipment 164 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.040 that's also out there kind of in the way, and 165 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.879 different types of things that we use for auxiliary power 166 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.319 and other things. Even though it's kind of building the 167 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.720 Jetwi bridge, it can be it can be tight. And 168 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.680 that's why every other week there's a story out there 169 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.920 somewhere in the in the country where airplanes have clipped 170 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.639 wings normally as they're pushing out or coming into the gate. 171 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.120 We'll bring it back Newark is a mess understatement of 172 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:51.920 the week. We'll talk about that and more with I 173 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.800 Heard Media via stings for Jay Rattle. If it's a 174 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.240 thirty seven be right back fifty five KRC dot com. 175 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.319 Hey forty if you've out AKRC detalk station in j 176 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.160 Roydler certainly has I heard media aviation expert. We are 177 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.519 plussed to have him with us every Thursday beginning at 178 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.360 a thirty talking some aviation news. And man, a Newark 179 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.439 airport is a mess. They got what one runway's shut 180 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:17.120 down because it's being what refinished or rebuilt and it's 181 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:18.120 already crowded. 182 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.279 It's crowded right oh, big time. 183 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:25.519 And you know, you're talking about a situation where we 184 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:34.000 have an airport that is technology challenged because I'm just 185 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.960 trying to find that the right wording to use, because 186 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.039 you and I've talked about before how just the entire 187 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:42.840 industry is really suspect when it comes to the technology. 188 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.080 And they had a situation where last this week where 189 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.639 we had aircraft that were flying around and air traffic 190 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.320 controllers lost the radar. 191 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.000 Yeah, they were able to talk, but they couldn't see. 192 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.799 And for men and women that are you know, responsible 193 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.440 for keeping everybody safe, you talk about some stress. 194 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:03.679 That was it. 195 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.559 And then you have a situation where you have a 196 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.320 shortage of air traffic controllers. It's just a mess on 197 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.200 top of a mess, on top of a mess. Now 198 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.960 we're being told that the United Airlines is looking at 199 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.679 canceling or about ten percent of their schedule because they're saying, 200 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.080 we simply can't be operating where we have flights that 201 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.200 are going to be routinely late, two, three, four hours 202 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.879 a day, So they're cutting the flights back, and they're 203 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.840 saying that to fix all of this is not a 204 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.159 situation that's going to be a matter of days, weeks, 205 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.759 it's going to be years. So what are you going 206 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.720 to do? And of course, with us having a shortage 207 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.360 of air traffic controllers back, four or five of them 208 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.360 went on a medical leave because they were so emotionally 209 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.799 distraught over losing control of the airspace type of thing 210 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.600 where they couldn't see what was going on. It scared 211 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.679 him to death. Remember a lot of these individuals, these 212 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.120 men and women, are working overtime because we've got the 213 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.120 shortage of three thousand air traffic control across the country. 214 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.320 So there's no easy fix to any of this. It's 215 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.639 going to take time. And unfortunately we got here because 216 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.919 of decades of non decisions that could have been made 217 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.320 to address. 218 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.759 This, and now we're all paying for it. 219 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:18.039 And the beauty is the idiots in DC on both 220 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.399 sides that could have addressed this and fixed it, are 221 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.519 too busy pointing at each other, as they always tend 222 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.279 to do, versus saying, you know, yeah, okay, we dropped 223 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.519 the ball. Let's get it fixed. No, we can't ever 224 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.320 take responsibility. But worre you're going to blame it, I 225 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.120 think President Trump. Yeah, let's blame it on him. 226 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.639 Yeah, even though it's been in the making for forty years. 227 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.879 Well, and that's the point I was going to emphasize, 228 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.960 you obviously made it. No, it's not Trump's fault. This 229 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.600 is a problem that's been in the making for decades 230 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.639 because they're still using basically, you know, two eighty six 231 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.080 process or five and a quarter floppy drive kind of computers. 232 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.120 I mean, boiled down. I mean it's kind of the 233 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.679 way it is, isn't it. It's old, old, legacy technology. 234 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.519 Do you hear people in the background typing in Google search, 235 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.360 what's a floppy disc? Yeah, there's people have no clue 236 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.519 about that. But when you're dealing with technology that this 237 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.600 out of date. When airline CEOs were asked about President 238 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.399 Trump's pledge to upgrade the air traffic control system. 239 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.799 I mean, it's music to their ears. They're thinking thank you. 240 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.759 Because for decades we've heard politicians talk about the need 241 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.600 to do so, but when it came time to deliver 242 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.159 the money, crickets never seemed to happen, or they might 243 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.320 get a trickle of what they needed. It was never, ever, ever, 244 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.279 ever a priority. And I've said so many times with 245 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.759 you when we talked that the economy of the nation, 246 00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:37.639 an integral part of that is the aviation network that 247 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.039 has the distribution of passengers, luggage, cargo, all that kind 248 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.600 of stuff and bags and freight and all the mail 249 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.000 and everything else. And when that is hampered, it impacts 250 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.960 adversely our economy. And why it's never been a priority 251 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.320 is maddening to me. And because I recognize it's a 252 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:57.759 very thin thread. Now some people are using the term 253 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.559 jay it's unsafe to fly. Now, It's not as safe 254 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.919 as we would like. But I will not cross that threshold. 255 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.879 I'm saying it's not safe to fly because if I 256 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.440 did think that, I would make it very clear to 257 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.679 you and everybody else how I felt. I'm not at 258 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.120 that point yet, ye, But it is because we're making 259 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.600 the adjustments because the FAA, if there's too much traffic 260 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.919 going into the Northeast, they do this every day. If 261 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.080 it's needed, they do a ground stop. If for a 262 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.679 flight from Atlanta or from cincinnati's about to head to 263 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.000 New York uh uh, a ground stop, time out until 264 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.519 we get the airspace thinned, and then we will let 265 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.879 you take off and then you can enter the network. 266 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.440 As far as heading in that direction, they control it. 267 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:37.720 Now. 268 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.159 It's aggravating, and it's certainly something that the technology would 269 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.240 allow us to be more efficient at what we do. 270 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.039 So there's just a lot of things there that need 271 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.440 to happen, but they all take considerable time. And some 272 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.559 of the stuff President Trump is beginning now, to me, 273 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.080 is a lot like his Supreme Court appointments that he 274 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.919 gave us first time around, when he gave us three 275 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.679 Supreme Court justices. It's something that for the next twenty 276 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.279 years is going to impact this country. 277 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:03.440 So as long as he's. 278 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.960 Allowed to finish what he's doing on the getting this 279 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.759 stuff implemented for aviation, it's gonna change things for us 280 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.279 for the next fifteen twenty years, and it's going to 281 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:13.960 be great. 282 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.360 Not that he'll ever get any credit for it. 283 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.559 Yeah, it's needed, and I'm just glad we've got a 284 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.639 president who's saying, Hey, this has got to get fixed, 285 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.360 and I'm gonna make sure it gets gets done Well. 286 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.159 Army helicopter is causing problems again. We'll hear one more 287 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.600 from Jay RATTLEFF after these brief words. Stick around fifty 288 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:36.000 five KRC the talk station.

I know, It's just so simple. 314 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.840 After me, That's why I'm so frustrated a BYuT this 315 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.080 I read about the first time, Like, wait a second, 316 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:01.600 they're flying into planes that are either landing or taking off. 317 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.919 Why do they need to be anywhere near that obviously 318 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:06.720 dangerous situation area? 319 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.679 Yeah, And Sean Duffy echoes your sentiment completely because he's 320 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.639 furious because it's been clear stated where these helicopters are 321 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.559 to be, and apparently, from what we're being told, someone 322 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.240 headed to the Pentagon wanted the scenic tour. 323 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.360 The scenic route. So some of the. 324 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:32.840 Previous you know, guidelines mandates were totally disregarded by somebody. 325 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.480 As it happened, not once or twice we had a 326 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.480 Delta Airlines and Republic Airlines flight both had to go 327 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.039 around when again, we had an army helicopter that was 328 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.639 in the proximity of their approach. And when you lose 329 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.159 sixty seven lives and you say we're going to learn 330 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.480 from that by making things better, this is what we're 331 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.679 going to do, it makes no sense to me why 332 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.919 that would be totally disregarded, because then my question is, 333 00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:01.600 if sixty seven lives isn't enough, what on God's green 334 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.519 Earth does it cake for us to make those necessary changes, 335 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:10.279 because please, it just it's maddening, but it continues to happen. 336 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.320 So I don't know, we know who the commander in 337 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:12.840 chief is. 338 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.399 Somebody's gonna answer for it because you just cannot allow 339 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.960 that kind of stuff to happen, and we'll see where. 340 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:20.960 It goes, yeah, I guess. 341 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.399 But you know, sort of bizarre in all of this 342 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:27.919 is the idea that you know damn well that the 343 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.039 pilot of that helicopter had heard about the collision with 344 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.519 the airplane and the prior helicopter knew about it, and 345 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.720 yet nonetheless took basically the same. 346 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.639 Path that if he's ordered to if he's ordered to. 347 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.519 Do so, well, someone's head needs to roll right there. 348 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:44.600 I mean, you talk about the commander in. 349 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.480 Chief because you're you're placing lives at risks. I'm in 350 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.840 total agreement. I think a firing squad's a little extreme, 351 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:52.919 but I think something's got to be done because it 352 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.639 just how you've got to honor the lives of those 353 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.679 that were lost, but making changes and adhering to those 354 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:05.119 change and Brian when they don't, it's beyond idiotic and aconite. Yes, 355 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:09.799 it's irresponsible, and you're placing lives at risk willingly, and 356 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.839 that's why something's got to be done. And I suspect 357 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.160 something will be done, and I suspect we will know 358 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:15.440 when something's been done. 359 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:16.720 I'd like to think we will. 360 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.519 And the other component of this, it's not like you're 361 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.200 high you can sneak by and get away with it. 362 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.160 You're on your I mean, it's well documented where you are. 363 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.519 It's on radar. They can see you. So look, what 364 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.680 the hell's the helicopter doing there anyway. 365 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.119 This silists are ticked and they're going to make sure somebody. 366 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.799 They may not, but it's going to hit social media somewhere. 367 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.559 I can promise you. 368 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.039 That, yes, it will. All right. 369 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.960 We always part with hub delays, Jay Ratliff, what's going 370 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.359 on out there in the world of air travel other 371 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.559 than the fact that we want to stay the hell 372 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:43.640 away to Newarks when Newark? 373 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:46.160 Yeah, yeah, that one for a while. 374 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.400 We've got a lot of rain that's in the area 375 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.079 across the country. It's yet to impact any major hubs. 376 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:53.480 Now. 377 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.160 Obviously, as the day progresses, the afternoon storms that we've 378 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.799 been talking about might start to impact some flight activity 379 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.039 to GDS Atlanta and Charlotte. But other than that, I 380 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.160 think that it's going to be probably the best day of. 381 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.359 The week weatherwise we've had to fly. And that's saying 382 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.640 something because it's been a it's been a rough week. 383 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.559 It sure has. Jay again, great scene yesterday, better seeing 384 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.000 your better half. It's always great to have you on 385 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.480 the fifty five.
