And being Thursday, 24 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.200 it's time for that meaning that discussion that all usually 25 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.519 kind of funny and fun opportunity to close out a 26 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.560 Thursday in a very positive note. Welcome back, my dear friend, 27 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.239 Aurheart media aviation expert Jay Ratliff. Good to have you on. 28 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.799 I'll try to keep it fun and light and happy 29 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:29.840 and all those things. 30 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.439 Well, let's talk with start with one on on your list, 31 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.519 and just to remind your buckle up when you're not 32 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.959 when you're not going to the bathroom or otherwise have 33 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.239 a reason to stand up on an airplane. See, there 34 00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.239 was a United Airlines flight they had to divert over 35 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.120 to Memphis because turbulence caused some injuries on the flight 36 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.480 from Cancun, Mexico to Chicago. 37 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.359 Yeah, they had one hundred and seventy two passengers on board, 38 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.439 seven crew members can kun to Chicago. But when they 39 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.000 encountered the severe turbulence and I'm told at the time 40 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:02.200 the seat belt sign was illuminated. The turbulence was so 41 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.599 severe that seven people had to be taken to the 42 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:10.639 hospital once the plane landed an emergency landing in Houston, 43 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.360 excuse me, in Memphis. But of course, you know, I'm 44 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.919 sure most of those injuries were probably the flight attendants 45 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.360 because there are always the last ones to be seated. 46 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.360 They've got a lot of work to do as they 47 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.759 kind of close out the cabin service or when they've 48 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.039 got a you know, because if they're in the middle 49 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.960 of something, serving drinks or what have you, and they've 50 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.280 got the carts out and the captain says, hey, you know, 51 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.599 we've got some turbulence coming or what have you. Yeah, 52 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.639 Or if not, you know, they're still trying to put 53 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.319 things together and things go flying. So anytime you encounter 54 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.639 severe turbulence, we can't really determine it in advance, and 55 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.879 that's really unfortunate. But it's the reason you and I 56 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.039 talk about all the time about keeping your seatbelt fastened 57 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.879 about you when you fly, because that will protect you 58 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.360 in that kind of situation. Turbulence isn't dangerous by itself. 59 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:03.280 There are times when the turbulence can be so severe 60 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.120 that the crew can temporarily lose control of the aircraft. 61 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:07.800 But normally when you're at. 62 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.680 Altitude, they'll regain that control quickly and it's just a 63 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.240 matter of you know, clear air and then you're okay, 64 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.879 and crew to crew will will report areas of turbulence 65 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.039 to air traffic control so they can try to wrap 66 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.960 people around those affected areas. But yeah, we just don't 67 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.120 know about it, which is why it comes on sudden. 68 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.479 It's unexpected, it's frightening. It freaks people out. Food goes flying, 69 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.919 and people alight go flying if they don't have their 70 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:32.680 seabelts a past. 71 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.479 Yeah, there's nothing like the end on a plane with 72 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.759 a big turbaument for the plane just feels like it's 73 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.800 dropped half a mile in a second. It's like, holy cow. 74 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.439 Like the floor opened up and you fell through it. 75 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.360 That's exactly it. Yep, with any luck, you've got a 76 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:46.960 mouthful of. 77 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:47.599 Food at the time. 78 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.520 Yeah, and it results usually in people folding their hands 79 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.759 in prayer after the whole thing is over with, because 80 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.159 Lord knows. Is it now? Is this something that is 81 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.280 becoming a more common phenomenon? I would think air conditions 82 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.639 or air conditions, and you know, they has always been 83 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.599 turbulence there always will be, Is it just because it's 84 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.159 more widely reported that it seems like it's happening more 85 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.840 and more or more people just not bothering the buckle 86 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.719 or seat belts, which results in injuries. 87 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.800 Well, you know, if you listen to our friends on 88 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.839 the other side, they'll tell us that the climate change 89 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.720 is bringing about all of these issues of turbulence. However, 90 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.279 when facts are introduced to the conversation, you can go 91 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.240 back and look at several reports of some very serious 92 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.680 turbulent issues going all the way back to the global cooling. 93 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:31.639 Crisis of the seventies. 94 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.439 So you know, it's I would say that there are 95 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.680 parts of the of the planet that we do have 96 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.600 it's some increased turbulent reports, but I think a lot 97 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.279 of that has to do with more flights in the 98 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.000 air now than we've ever had, and because when you 99 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.399 have more flights, there's more opportunities. And I think that 100 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.920 when you factor that end, that pretty much explains why 101 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.319 we have the increase. But in all these reports of 102 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:01.120 climate change as the culprit, they failed to realize when 103 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.959 you do a comparison the number of flights in the 104 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.319 air now versus what we've. 105 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.519 Had in the past, what in a stude observation. The 106 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.879 global population has gotten billion, has risen by billions. More 107 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:16.600 people have access to and can afford airline travel. Contrast 108 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.800 that with the way it used to be back in 109 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.959 the sixties when it was sort of that jet set 110 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.879 elite kind of thing where everybody wore a suit and 111 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.920 tied again on a plane. It was expensive and the 112 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.120 amenities were much better and the food was much better. 113 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.240 So it's opened up a whole lot of people to 114 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.519 travel and more people are doing it. 115 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:30.839 Yeah. 116 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.040 But you know, when you look at it, eighty percent 117 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.439 of the world's population, they tell us, has never flown. 118 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:39.319 How about that. 119 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.120 Yeah, I mean look at the numbers, and you look 120 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.079 at all the you know, the third world countries, and 121 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.120 a lot of people that you know, they live where 122 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.560 they're at, they don't go anywhere. 123 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.639 Yeah, that's a substantial number of billions right there. 124 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.680 That number is probably eight or nine years old, but 125 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.279 they significantly higher number than a lot of people realize. 126 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.560 A fair enough let's pausible. Bringing back to talk about 127 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.480 United Airlines flight attendants on strike, we have furious passengers 128 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:09.839 to talk about, and of course we always end with 129 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:11.040 a hub to lay. We'll find out if it's a 130 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.279 good day to travel more with Jay Ratliff. After I 131 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.399 mentioned Chimneycare, Fireplace and stove chimneycarec Dot comment's where you 132 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.399 find them online. They do everything. It's it's time to 133 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.319 do your safety check. Have them inspect your chimney. Flues 134 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.759 need to be inspected, most notably wood burners. The gas 135 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.959 stoves also can need repair and adjustments. You can have 136 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.120 carbon monoxide issues. It's not the flow isn't working properly, 137 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.639 the jets are clogged or damage, so they service gas 138 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.959 as well. They service the pellets stove. Those are self 139 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.160 feeding wood waste pellets. They sell both free standing and 140 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.800 insert versions of those. They service them as well. So 141 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.519 get the fireplace insert installed, get your free standing stove installed, 142 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.439 Get the tuck pointing and cap and damper replacement taken 143 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.360 care of.

HI have eighty three though, that's better seventy six. 171 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:07.079 Right now, it's time for traffic. 172 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.160 From the UCLF Traffic Center at the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute, 173 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.519 you can access the leading brains finding nerve experts right 174 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.240 here in Cincinnati. Setbound seventy five is getting heavier out 175 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.959 of Sharonville through the Lochland Split, close to a twenty 176 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.639 minute delay. Sethbound seventy one getting better. It's closer to 177 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.879 a ten minute delay now between Peiffer and the lateral 178 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.399 northbound fourth seventy one. It's an extra five from Grand 179 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:36.320 into town. Chuck Ingram on fifty five Kroc the talk station. 180 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.519 Have you ever been in the cockpit before? Jay Rallivas, 181 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:44.679 he's a heart media aviation expert going to the program 182 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:46.639 every Thursday at eight third. We get a couple of 183 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.840 segments with them at least, and that's what we're going 184 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.120 to segment number two. I guess the United Airlines slight 185 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:53.799 attendants have voted to go on strike. 186 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:55.000 They have. 187 00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:00.000 In fact, it's been out twenty years or so since 188 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.799 they've had to kind of go this route. But they're 189 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.960 saying that they've been trying for a number of years 190 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.960 to get a new contract, they've not seen any measurable progress. 191 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.120 So the union representing the flight attendants took a vote 192 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.720 to strike, and they came back with a ninety nine 193 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.799 point nine percent whoa to do so if needed. So 194 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:23.240 that shows the the unity that the union certainly wants 195 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.120 to move forward with. And you know, we've seen a 196 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.399 lot of flight attendant groups have taken this step voting 197 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.559 to strike, but normally agreements are reached long before any 198 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.600 strike takes place, and I suspect that's going to be 199 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.919 the case here. So a worst case scenario thirty day 200 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.840 cooling off period and then they could have the opportunity 201 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.000 for a strike. Now I'm almost certain if they did, 202 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.200 the Biden administration would step in immediately and say. 203 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.159 Back to work. We're going to get this worked out. 204 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.120 So on a worry meter of one to ten, I 205 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:52.720 might be at a three and a half or four. 206 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.080 I don't think it's going to be anything that if 207 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.480 I had a future reservation on United that I would 208 00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:59.159 be worried about it. 209 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:00.480 This before partaking time. 210 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.639 He can make people work, isn't that, don't they call 211 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.679 that slavery. I know when Ronald Reagan, when the air 212 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.279 traffic controllers went on strike, Reagan just fired all of 213 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.080 them and hired the military to do the job. 214 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.919 Those are government employees. They said, if you strike, this 215 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.159 is what I'm going to do. And at that point 216 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.440 in time, they didn't know that Ronald Reagan was a 217 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.759 man of his word and he would do exactly what 218 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:20.799 he said he was going to do. 219 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.080 And yeah, a whole bunch of them. 220 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.879 Found out, Wow, this guy met was serious. But yeah, 221 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.000 we've had I know it was Clinton that ordered the 222 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.720 US Airways employees back to work when they went on strike, 223 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.399 and they apported an emergency board and worked with him 224 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.480 to get something hammered out. And as pro passenger as 225 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.519 this administration is for all their problems, they certainly are 226 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.679 trying to do a good job at that. I suspect 227 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.559 they would do the same thing. But you know a 228 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.159 lot of times this is simply just posturing. It's just 229 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.039 part of the negotiations back and forth between union and management. 230 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.879 And I suspect the United is going to step forward 231 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.600 and take care of this because look, they know that 232 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.679 some slight degree could affect future bookings. 233 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:04.639 So they don't want that to be the case. 234 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.639 So what they're going to do is as much as possible, 235 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.519 especially now that this strike vote is out there and 236 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.159 could impact you know, future reservations, They're probably going to 237 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:14.759 move a little bit faster to try to get this 238 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:15.360 wrapped up. 239 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.320 Okay, Well, you sound positive on a positive resolution and 240 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.320 that they will not go on strike. But I'm just 241 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:20.679 trying to. 242 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.799 Just like, do we get to the next United story. 243 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.360 To give it a moment. But I had this scenario 244 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.000 where the Biden administration, which purports to be a big, 245 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.720 big believer in union and supporter of unions, and of 246 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.320 course which necessarily means you would support a strike for 247 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.559 workers merely trying to get a fair wage, that they 248 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.679 wouldn't force the unions to go back to work. And 249 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.440 if that scenario were to unfold, I mean, we're talking 250 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.480 about millions and millions of dollars in losses for the airline, 251 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:50.600 right that. 252 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.320 Could be Yeah, depends on how long it goes and 253 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.879 things of this nature. But we got to go way 254 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.840 back since the last time we've had a real work stoppage, 255 00:11:58.840 --> 00:11:59.399 so to speak. 256 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.600 But you know, one of the. 257 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.559 Things that we're looking at as we move forward on 258 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.240 a lot of this is the idea of the current 259 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:06.320 climate right now. 260 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.639 And there's a lot more stories that are. 261 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.080 Ongoing about how flight attendants, some of them are homeless. 262 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.960 You know that we've talked about the American airline employees 263 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.000 that are based in Massachusetts that are paid twenty seven 264 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.120 thousand dollars a year when they start, they qualify for 265 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:25.240 food stamps. You have flight attendants sleeping in airports in 266 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.720 between their ships from one day to an act simply 267 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:32.120 because they can't afford certain things. It's it's just if 268 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.279 these were pilots, it would be sixty minute pieces and 269 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.799 it would be addressed immediately. But for the flight attendants, 270 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:40.879 we seem to be okay with it, and it's really 271 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.120 unfortunate that they're almost an afterthought given the fact that 272 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.519 they carry such an important role on board an airplane. 273 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.639 Because yes, the pilots are there to keep us safe, 274 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.679 and believe me, their training is unbelievable. But when you 275 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.039 recognize the training flight attendants go through, I mean, you know, 276 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.799 normally every year they've got to go through the survival 277 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.960 at sea kind of training where you are in a wavepool, 278 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.120 pitch dark, you go through everything is though it's realistic, 279 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.639 and I mean they've got to excel at that because 280 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.279 they're there to protect us in the event something goes wrong, 281 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.759 And those are not the people that you should be 282 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.080 playing the game of Oh, how little can we pay 283 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.799 them to do their job? Yes, I know that most 284 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.240 flights go off without a hitch, but we pay them 285 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.879 for the times when things don't go right and they've. 286 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:28.639 Got to save us. 287 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.720 Amen to that, and I always appreciate your supporting and 288 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.799 pointing out to my listeners exactly how important those flight 289 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.559 attendants are. Moving over problems with flight attendants, we go 290 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.279 from the positive of the negative. What possible benefit can 291 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.600 anyone think they're going to get by stirring the pot 292 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.759 of political division by wearing pro Palestinian lapel pins or 293 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.320 even pro Israel palette pins. 294 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:50.120 Why would you do that? 295 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:51.399 Why would an airline allow it? 296 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:53.720 Well, you know, you and I talked about a month 297 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:55.720 and a half ago about Delta Airlines that had an 298 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.639 employee that was wearing a pro Palestinian pen, and Delta 299 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.399 Airlines thought, Okay, that's going to rub some passengers the 300 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.279 wrong way. So we're going to put a policy out 301 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.679 that says if flight attendants want to wear lapel pen 302 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:08.159 they can. The only thing they can wear is. 303 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:08.879 The US flag. 304 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.360 A lot of the Delta flight attends weren't happy with it, 305 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.399 but they understood it was the uniform dress code and 306 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.559 that was what they had to do. 307 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:17.120 Well. 308 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.200 United Airlines, they had some of their flight attendants there 309 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.799 are also wearing pro Palestinian lapel pins, and you have 310 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.799 customers that are complaining. Unfortunately, United management doesn't care about 311 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.799 what the passenger says. They said, it's far more important 312 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.759 Jay's words. But it's far more important for their employees 313 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.559 to have the freedom to properly express themselves than any 314 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.080 concern over the passenger. 315 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.440 So it just but the part of it that bothers 316 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.080 me the most is, Okay. 317 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.480 I get that you want to give your employees that 318 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.559 power to express themselves politically if it need be on 319 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:57.120 the job, which most businesses won't allow. But when we 320 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.919 had the Black Lives Movement a couple of years ago, 321 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.360 when it was at its peak, a lot of flight 322 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.720 attendants were wearing BLM support pins, and you had other 323 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:12.720 flight attendants that were wearing pro police pins. Those flight 324 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.960 attendants were told to take those pins on because they 325 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:21.519 could be considered insightful. So I guess the freedom to 326 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.240 you know, express yourself only goes if you're in line 327 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.879 with what United management thinks is appropriate, you know, if 328 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.879 it's consistent, and they would allow it both ways, Brian, 329 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.000 I would just say, okay, if that's what you want 330 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.799 to do, that's fine. But when you choose and pick, 331 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.039 pick and choose what you're going to allow and not allow, 332 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:42.480 and you line it up with where your political standings. 333 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.039 Are, way way way wrong. 334 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.600 And I'm sorry. Employees have a dress code's there's things 335 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.639 you and I have to abide by, and there's certain 336 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.440 rules we know. If you're going to be here, this 337 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:52.639 is what you got to have to do or not do. 338 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.720 The idea that you know, men can wear dresses or 339 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.440 the fingernail polish or whatever it might happen to be, 340 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.440 and that's going to be okay. Or wear whatever support 341 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.799 pen you want to wear, even though it may be 342 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:05.039 offensive to passengers. 343 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.120 United says that's okay. 344 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.879 All right, Well, people can make their choices accordingly, and 345 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.399 they probably will. You're gonna burn a few bridges doing it. 346 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.159 And if it's a few, that's you too many as 347 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.360 far as I'm concerned, we keep coming back. 348 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.679 Remember, we keep coming back, so they treat us like garbage, 349 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.879 and we keep coming back, so I guess they figure, eh, 350 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:23.320 you know this will blow over soon. 351 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.039 Orenough fair enough. And finally hub delays where we always 352 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.519 end our segment. How's it to travel today? Other than 353 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.200 being hotter than the hell out there. 354 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.039 It's definitely warm for sure. New York and Houston could 355 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.600 see some minor weather delays thirty to forty five minutes. 356 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.879 Brian, The heat. 357 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.120 Doesn't really impact us that much unless you're on a 358 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.639 small regional jet, like when we used to have those 359 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:47.039 fifty passenger airplanes. During really hot days, it affects the 360 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.600 lift of an aircraft, which means you have you need 361 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.799 more runway to take off, so we would have to 362 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.519 leave a lot of passengers and bags behind when we 363 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:56.840 had this kind of heat. Now, the bigger the aircraft, 364 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.799 the less that's an issue. So you really don't have 365 00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:01.600 to worry too much about the heat, other than the 366 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:03.960 poor people out on the ramp that are trying to 367 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:04.480 work through it. 368 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.319 H Imagine being a bag and chandler in this heat. 369 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.720 Yes, big time ticularly required uniform.
