Friday 16 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.560 Eve one of my favorite times of the week because 17 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.200 we could talk to IHART Media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe 18 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.719 live from the Southern Command, which means he is in 19 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.119 Savannah and therefore probably experienced some of the hurricane that 20 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.359 went through welcome, Jay ratl If. It's always a great 21 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.039 thing to have you on my program Sir. 22 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.280 It's good to be here. 23 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.840 And yes, we're seeing sunrise, which I think first time 24 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.239 since Saturday we've actually seen a sunrise here in Savannah. 25 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.239 So they call this place the low country, and believe me, 26 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.840 it is when you get the way of sixteen to 27 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.439 twenty inches of rain. Yeah, a storm came over us 28 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:20.280 and just stayed. 29 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.280 It was like the house guests that refused to leave. 30 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.560 Wow, did you suffer any damage? 31 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.439 We had some, Yeah, but it's minimal. 32 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.400 And Brian, when I was battling the water like in 33 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.560 my office, which was really annoying, I kept thinking, good lord, 34 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.760 you know people lost their lives in the stormy Sir. 35 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.319 You know, I'm just I always try to keep things 36 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.959 in proper perspective and pray for the families that were impacted. 37 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.319 And if I got to deal with a little bit 38 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:44.159 of water, so be it. 39 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.280 That's why I love you, man. You're always looking at 40 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.480 for the life. From that perspective, it could be a 41 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.480 hell of a lot worse. I can mop the floor 42 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.840 up and I'll move on with my life. I wanted 43 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.519 to pivot over to this not on your list, And 44 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.200 I know you don't mind taking a fielding questions and 45 00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.879 talking about topics that you don't have on your list. 46 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.319 This I feel terribly, terribly sorry for those astronauts who 47 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.719 flew to the International Space Station on the inaugural fight 48 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.639 of the what is it star liner Boeing Starliner. 49 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.479 The Boeing Starliners, cause you got that Boeing went out there. 50 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.879 So they make it to the International Space Station and 51 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.199 then the craft is declared what, it's not seaworthy, it's 52 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.280 not the right, it's not spaceworthy or something. In other words, 53 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.879 they might die coming back on it. So there's a problem. 54 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.960 Yeah, the thrusters aren't working exactly as they need them to, 55 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.000 and they've got some leaks they're dealing with. And I mean, 56 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.800 you know me in space, if somebody said Jay, I 57 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.039 didn't want you into space at three point fifteen today, 58 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:42.560 I'm there. 59 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:44.199 But you put Boeing on. 60 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.599 The side of the aircraft spacecraft. 61 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.879 I mean, that's just tempting fate. 62 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.159 But you know, when they got up there, I think 63 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:51.319 all of us just kind. 64 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.000 Of had this collective sigh of relief. 65 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.360 Like, oh, thank god, they made it, not even thinking 66 00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:00.599 they couldn't get back. But they conducted several tests the 67 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.599 thrusters and I think there's like thirty six different combinations 68 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.639 and Bryant, it's not yet been flawless. They've had issues 69 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.319 each and every time, and since the space program thankfully 70 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.120 is on a you know, we have to make sure 71 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.840 everything is working, plus all the backups. It's something that 72 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.080 they simply are just saying, look, and to everyone's credit, 73 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.719 the easiest thing to do, would we try to push it, 74 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.759 get them home safe, let's move on. But what they're 75 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.360 making sure of is that it's safe, because they're like, 76 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.120 we're not going to do this if there's an element 77 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.080 of danger, and even if it makes us look worse, 78 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.120 and I guess that's possible, we're going to continue trying 79 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:37.680 to see what. 80 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.000 We can do. 81 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.159 And you know, this spacecraft has a shelf life, if 82 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:42.599 you will, as far as the amount of time it 83 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.080 can remain at space at one time. 84 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.400 It's ad or exceeded that. So that's the other. 85 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.879 Issue they've got because they've got components on there that 86 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.039 need to be checked, rechecked, replace, what have you. It's 87 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.919 just like the cycle life on an aircraft. Every part 88 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.879 on an airplane is inspected and or replaced every so off. 89 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.840 Normally it's hours that the aircraft's been in operation. That's 90 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.000 why if I get on an airplane that's thirty nine 91 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.439 years old, I don't worry because it's not a thirty 92 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.039 nine year old aircraft that's been rebuilt constantly, year after 93 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.800 year after year, and it's still an airworthy aircraft. This 94 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.079 Boeing situation in space, you got to feel for them 95 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.959 because they're still there. You know, I always kidding people, 96 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.800 you know, the self alert's got that thing that helped me. 97 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.079 I can't get up, what about press help? I can't 98 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.040 get down because these guys are up there, and look 99 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.720 if they love space, they're enjoying it. 100 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.319 But eventually you got to come home. 101 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.360 Well, and eventually you might have to turn to another manufacturer, 102 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.879 and that would be Elon Musk's company. 103 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.920 Somebody's going to have to do it. And then the 104 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.240 Boeing star Liner program, which was over budget and way 105 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.000 way way way way way delayed, will probably just sail 106 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.639 off into the sunset, never to be seen again. And 107 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.079 who could blame them giving everything that's been taking place 108 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:54.600 right now? 109 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.120 Well, I saw an interesting statement from Boeing that came 110 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.560 out yesterday. You know, they say they still believe in 111 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.319 the Boeing star Liner quote, if NASA decides to change 112 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.079 the mission, we will take the actions necessary to configure 113 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.360 star Liner for an uncrude return. So the copsule stuck 114 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.639 to the space station right now, they're busy testing in 115 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.000 So they're going to send it back with nobody in 116 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.680 it leading the astronauts in space. 117 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:19.519 Well, the thought is, if. 118 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.120 You can't make sure that it's going to operate exactly 119 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.959 as it needs to, that's the only way they're going 120 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.399 to bring it home. Because if all the tests that 121 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.120 they've done, and they've done many aren't one hundred percent 122 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.000 of their satisfaction. You know, there's a certain degree of 123 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.720 safety that you can use if it's man and unmanned, right, 124 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.439 and obviously you've got a lot more latitude, a lot 125 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.720 more room for air if it's if it's an unmanned return, 126 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.600 and I suspect that's exactly what's going to take place, 127 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.079 because then if you have some of the systems leaking 128 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.120 or not totally working as it needs to, you don't 129 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.079 have to worry about the lives of the astronauts that 130 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.759 are on board the aircraft during the return to Earth, 131 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.879 So I think it's going to be somebody else bringing 132 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.319 them home. And it's just, you know, Bo's got so 133 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.639 many issues this this hearing that we had in Washington, 134 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:05.920 d C. 135 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:07.319 Yeah, they're trying to get answers. 136 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.839 Yeah, we're going to get into that in a minute, 137 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:10.839 because we're almost out a time. And I know that's 138 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.319 on your topics, but I guess if they sent it 139 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.639 home unmanned and it disintegrates on return, you know, a 140 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.160 re entry, it doesn't let me, maybe goes off into 141 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.519 space and lands on the Sun or something like that. 142 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.240 Bowe's never going to be able to get around the 143 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.600 optics of that, at least if it comes back safety. 144 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.600 They said, well we got it back, it would have 145 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.759 been okay if the astronauts were on it apparently was 146 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.639 fixable enough. I just don't see how this is a 147 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.920 win at all for Boeing. 148 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.199 Well, they're pressed. 149 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.560 People are going to try to spin it the best 150 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.759 way they can, and I know that It's like when 151 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.560 I see a drugstock that's down eighty percent on positive 152 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:42.199 drug news. 153 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.600 Yeah right, you can give it whatever. 154 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.879 Headline you want, doesn't mean that it's necessarily inaccurate statement. 155 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.319 We'll bring Jay back. We'll talk about Germany's busiest airport 156 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.279 brought to a standstill over a tiny little something or other, 157 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.560 and then we'll talk about that hearing on the Boeing 158 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.160 door plug factory workers testifying about pressure work too fast. 159 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.680 More with iHeart Media aviation expert Jay Ratlift. After I 160 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.319 mentioned the outstanding experts at Chimneycare, Fireplace and Stove and 161 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.959 reminding you that this is the perfect time to take 162 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.519 care of your safety before you want to take care 163 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.879 of your comfort as the fall cold weather kicks in, 164 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.319 have the chimney inspected. They certified chimney sweeps. A Chimneycare, 165 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.600 Fireplace and Stove can do a great job sweeping up 166 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.279 that chimney so it's safe to oper You don't worry 167 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.560 about a chimney fire. Yeah, you're using a wood burner 168 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.360 or something like that, you're gonna get a creosoap build 169 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.360 up that's flammable, crack your chimney lining. They also replace 170 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.759 chimney lining, so if their inspection reveals that you're in 171 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.319 great hands with that, maybe the chimney inspection will reveal 172 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.360 water damage which you don't even know about. They do 173 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.439 waterproofing and chimney leak repairs as well as cap and 174 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.360 damper replacement, and then comes the inserts. If you don't 175 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.360 have a fireplace insert, why not get one now? Beautiful 176 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.160 upgrades and improvements. Those inserts get more the heat out 177 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.000 of your fire box into the room, so it improves 178 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.079 the efficiency but also improves the beauty. They have a 179 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.079 huge selection of those at the showroom. Look at Ato 180 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.040 four to thirteen Wards Corner Road. Whether you have a 181 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.120 gas one, a wood burner, or swap out what you 182 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.800 got with the self feeding wood waste pellet insert huge 183 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.079 amounts of heat and energy savings from that to chimney 184 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.160 Care Fireplace and Stove.

Seriously, Ja, you are a 198 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.039 busy man in between. 199 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.320 Me told Fox and Friends no, just to be with you. 200 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.519 So that shows you how much this segment means to me. 201 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.200 I love you so much, Jay, I appreciate our conversations 202 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.840 and it is just a wonderful thing to move into 203 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.600 a Friday on somewhat lighter conversations. All though, moving over 204 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.879 to Boeing and the door plug problem, apparently Boeing factory 205 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.440 workers testified that they've been under a really lot of 206 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.840 pressure to work quicker, and of course fast means lower 207 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.240 quality products that come off the line, including doors that 208 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:15.279 fly off midflight. 209 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.320 You and I talked seven months ago when that last 210 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.639 airline's door plug blew out of that seven thirty seven 211 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.519 in flight, and it was at that moment Boeing and 212 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.799 the Federal Aviation Administration began there. I want to say investigation. 213 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:30.399 I'll have to put it in quotes to find out. Okay, 214 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.879 where in the process was this door installed, Who did it? 215 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.240 How did we miss not putting in the bolts that 216 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.879 would like secure it to the aircraft. So they have 217 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.879 this congressional inquiry that's going on, and you've got Boeing 218 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.000 officials and the FA officials that are reporting that guess what. 219 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.600 They still have no idea where the mistake took place. 220 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.960 They don't know who was responsible, they don't know when 221 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.480 it happened. They can't answer a thing. And again Boeing 222 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.200 has been less than forthcoming, and you had congressional members 223 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.519 that were losing their minds here. They're like, Waite, We've 224 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.600 had seven months and we don't know anything. So the 225 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.159 question is being asked, and they were excellent questions, was look, 226 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.720 if you can't tell me when it happened, where it happened, 227 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.039 you're telling me it could happen again at any time 228 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.360 on any aircraft, right yeah, oh, And it was like 229 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.519 a well, yeah, I guess. 230 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.200 So the thought is what are we doing. 231 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.679 I mean, if we can't determine seven months after another, 232 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.720 this is something that should be so out of the 233 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.960 norm that it's real easy for us to determine because 234 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.320 everything is so carefully choreographed during the assembly process, on 235 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.960 any aircraft that we would know who was on duty 236 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.799 which aircraft, you know, who was on duty when this 237 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.720 particular part was being put together malfunction. 238 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:44.279 I mean it is. 239 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.240 It's not like you know, an assembly line where. 240 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.440 You're just a bunch of people slept. 241 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.720 Everything is so tightly controlled and documented, right, there's no 242 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.759 way you could not know. 243 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.799 I know, I was thinking, don't these airplanes have like 244 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.120 a ven number? I mean, you just don't have a 245 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:04.080 Boeing multi million aircraft getting assembled with each person responsible 246 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.360 for some component of that aircraft on a rather long 247 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.679 assembly time. How in the hell could they not know that? 248 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.000 I mean, come on, you have to because every single 249 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.840 part on every single aircraft has a number, and that 250 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.440 number is either inspected or replaced every so many cycle 251 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.759 hours or duration of time that it's on the aircraft. 252 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.120 It's always so documented. 253 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.679 Because that's what makes commercial aviation safe. We know this 254 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.320 particular part of an aircraft tends to start to wear, 255 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.159 show signs of wear at this point, that's when it's 256 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.000 inspected and at this point it's replaced. That's all we do. 257 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.000 And the idea that you can show up seven months 258 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.200 after a near catastrophic event, thank God, no one. 259 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.120 Lost their life. 260 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.600 You can't provide any answers whatsoever. It speaks to the 261 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.039 FAA's lack of oversight, and it speaks to Boeing sitting 262 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.240 there with that, just that arrogant smirk that says, I'm 263 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.120 going to tell you what I want to tell you, 264 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.039 and I'm not going to tell you any more than I. 265 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.120 Want to And they get away with it all the time. 266 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.960 Brian, you know, in your background and law, I don't 267 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.039 know how you put up with that, knowing that you've 268 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.720 got this this and again these are my words, my impression. 269 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.639 I could be totally wrong, but when I see this 270 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.879 arrogance that Boeing has had about them for the last 271 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.039 five years plus, it just it drives me out of 272 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.279 my mind. Because they're not delivering the mail. It's not 273 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.799 okay if my package gets here tomorrow instead of today. 274 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.120 You're talking about people's lives, people that trust you, and 275 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.919 the lack of this oversight is totally unacceptable. 276 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.480 And it continues well, it does, And I guess it's 277 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.080 because Boeing doesn't fear any you know, repercussions or implications. 278 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.440 Most notably you've pointed out before many times because of 279 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.639 the multi billions of dollars they have related to the 280 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.799 defense industry and the fact that they do produce so 281 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.559 many things the government relies on. They can't go out 282 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.519 them too hard. But you know, if this is a 283 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.759 civil action and I was asking for discovery and they 284 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.679 refuse to give me discovery, I could go to court 285 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.759 on a motion to compel and the judge would order 286 00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.559 it to happen, and if they didn't do it, they'd 287 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.720 be found attempt at court, and I can get attorney's fees. 288 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.559 There are repercussions for not handing it over. Plus you 289 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.679 know also default like instructions to the jury that they're 290 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.080 entitled to draw conclusions because the well, the person you're 291 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.799 asking for the information from destroyed it or something. So 292 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.679 spoliation inferences. But the point being there are ramifications here, 293 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.720 there just doesn't seem to be any It's almost as 294 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:25.279 if Boeing has taken a queue from like let's say, 295 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.919 the FBI or the Department of Justice or other lettered 296 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.840 agencies who refuse foil requests even in the face of 297 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.399 judicial orders telling them to send over the information. 298 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.440 Yeah, dig in your heels long enough and let the 299 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.759 storm pass and we'll just go on about our way 300 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.559 and we'll become back burner news instead of front burner 301 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.399 and go from there. And you know, had Boeing really 302 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.759 been fearful, like you said five years ago when they 303 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.519 lied and admitted, they lied and admitted, they covered up 304 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.919 and had two plane crashes with three hundred and forty 305 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.879 six lives lost. That's the moment they should have pivoted 306 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:01.960 and said, you know what, enough of this. 307 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.240 We are becoming the Boeing of old. 308 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.240 And all they've done over the last five to six 309 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.639 years has done the same crap they've been doing since, 310 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:09.440 if not more. 311 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:11.200 And it's a. 312 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.120 Miracle nobody died, thank god, in that last airline's flight. 313 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.320 And just imagine that the explosive dreak decompression that took 314 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.320 place at that moment where it's so loud the person 315 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:22.960 next to you you could scream in their ear and 316 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.879 they don't hear you. 317 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.279 You've got to. 318 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.440 Communicate with the person seated next to you in texting 319 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.440 a message that they can read as all this is 320 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.159 going on because of the noise. And then you understand 321 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.960 that the flight crew in the cacpit cannot communicate with 322 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.240 the flight attendants a to find out what's going on 323 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.559 or be to give instructions as far as what's taking place. 324 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.279 It was a horrific, horrific situation. Thankfully people are living 325 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.679 with PTSD versus the airplane going down. But Brian, it's 326 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.080 just the idea that so much of this is being 327 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:57.000 looked at in retrospect is eh, you know, it's just maddening. 328 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.919 And they've got a new CEO at the top of 329 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.080 Bowing and I like this guy, but I'm afraid the 330 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.519 culture is going to change him into being the hero 331 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.000 that he has been in the past to just another 332 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.759 one of the guys that goes along with the crowd. 333 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.200 The lot of they've already lost a lot of good 334 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.639 will and to lose even more and probably that translates 335 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:20.120 the loss of airflying orders anyway. Moving over a mouse, Okay. 336 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.799 Yes, can we call him a mighty mouse? I mean 337 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.759 he's a full three inches long. I think this little 338 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.519 dormouse is. But you're talking about the Germany's busiest airport 339 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.080 in Frankfort. 340 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.919 You got this this little. 341 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.519 Mouse that at ten forty five decided for midnight snack, 342 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.720 started chewing on one of the electrical wires. 343 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.120 Boom the lights go out. 344 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.600 You're talking about the busiest airport in Frankfort down because 345 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.840 of this little mighty mouse that shoot on the wrong wire. 346 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.080 It took Yeah, they had to dispatch the fire trucks. 347 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.039 That did not end well for the mouse. But what 348 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.600 ended up taking place was it took him five hours 349 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.320 to get the power restored. I were spending billions of 350 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.639 dollars on security, but the airport was brought down by 351 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.960 a mouse. So fortunately it was overnight at ten forty 352 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.960 five is when it happened. They got I think the 353 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.679 power restored at three something in the morning. The impact 354 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.200 of commercial aviation was minor. I think the dozen flights 355 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:14.279 or less were impacted. 356 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.039 But it just goes to show I mean, it does 357 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:17.919 not take much of it. 358 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.759 It reminds me of the American Airlines flight that left 359 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.679 Honolulu for Asia and they don't know how, but a 360 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.679 squirrel got into the overhead console. They take off in 361 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.440 here they hear the scratching going on above them, and 362 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.799 they're like, what's going on? And there was a squirrel up. 363 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.399 There chewing on who knows what. And you talk about 364 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:34.000 a crew that. 365 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.159 Got that airplane back to Honolulu and on the ground 366 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.200 as soon as they could. If that little guy could 367 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:39.960 have chewed on through something that I don't know, they 368 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:41.440 needed to keep the airplane. 369 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.720 In the sky. Well that's great. 370 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.080 I just kind of wonder in the back of my 371 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.799 mind as the mouse had been radicalized online to commit 372 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.279 this active terror for nefarious burbses. 373 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.600 Uh yeah, well you know, I mean, there's so many 374 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:55.600 different angles we could go on that I'll leave them alone. 375 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.080 But it's just it's amazing that we were worried about 376 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.240 so many things, and you that's the thing that brings 377 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.480 that airport to a standstill. Not environmentalist on the runway, 378 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.160 but a mouse that's behind the scenes. 379 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:06.440 Wow. 380 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.079 And all the people who's tried whose travel plans got 381 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.000 interrupted because of that. I don't know what he was 382 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.640 talking about. Joe Strecker mentioned something about Richard gear I 383 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.640 don't know, but anyway, moving on hub delays is where 384 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:18.680 we always part company. Jay Ratliff, don't go down this 385 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.759 road hub Delays. 386 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.759 That's the guy who's got my recordings being nice to him. Yeah, 387 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.160 Charlotte has got the bullseye, plain and simple. The rain 388 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.599 that had just camped over Savannah for like forever is 389 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.039 now pounding Charlotte for the entire day. If you're flying 390 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.200 American Airlines connecting through Charlotte, get to the airport extra 391 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.119 early because we're seeing a great number of flight delays 392 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.480 and cancellations. Most of those people, if they can, are 393 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.160 being re routed on American through another one of their 394 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.000 hubs Chicago, Dallas, Kennedy. It's called an online reroute, but 395 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.240 that is going to be clearly the headache. 396 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:52.359 Of the day. 397 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.240 Jay Rayli, thank you so much for the time you 398 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:57.319 spend my listeners me every Thursday. I'll look for to 399 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.200 next Thursday already and as always, best of health you 400 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.039 and your better half. 401 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.960
