Welcome back, Jay Ratliff. Love 23 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.040 having you on the show. I love the goofy things 24 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.040 we talk about right now. 25 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:10.239 It's the best part. 26 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.879 And this isn't intend to be a curveball recognizing you. 27 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.879 Oh yeah, Hair comes, No, I know, yeah yeah, Joe 28 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:18.319 Warren me here comes. 29 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.159 Southwest Airlines, one of your topics, had a council more 30 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.920 than seven hundred flights due to weather, which I understand, 31 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.079 but ongoing computer issues. And I woke up this morning 32 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.400 and saw this article. United Airlines temporarily grounded all of 33 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.680 its mainline flights yesterday due to a technical issue, although 34 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.439 the articles from Fox nineteen that I read rather sketchy 35 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.120 on the details. 36 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:41.120 Do you know why? 37 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.680 I mean all of their flights? 38 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.319 Yes, it was a ground stop and anything that hadn't 39 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.480 taken off wasn't going to take off. And that we 40 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.799 have this happen every so often. Of course, Southwest has 41 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.920 had their computer issues before in the past that happened 42 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.920 at the worst possible time around Christmas. You've had United, 43 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.079 even Delta and others that have had these issues with 44 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.879 their computer systems, and you just hope that they crash 45 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.519 may not be the appropriate word, but that they malfunction 46 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.599 in May or September, because those are the two slowest 47 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:10.479 travel months of the year. 48 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:11.080 But they don't. 49 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.000 It's like the car conks out on us at the 50 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:15.719 most critical time we need it. 51 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.759 And it's the same sort of situation. 52 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.240 Here and with United when they ground their fleet, and 53 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.280 even for a short period of time, the residual impact 54 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.680 on that it goes for days and it could be 55 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.840 Monday or Tuesday before everybody's going to get to where 56 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.319 they're going. Because when you're talking about this time of 57 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.439 the year, when most of the flights are filled or 58 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.120 at capacity or close to it, you have ten thousand 59 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.719 people that maybe got are on canceled flights. Where are 60 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.759 you going to put them? I mean, it just it 61 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.199 makes it so problematic. And that's one of the reasons 62 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.360 that I tell people when they reach out to me 63 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.520 when they're having and experiencing these kinds of flight interruption issues, 64 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.319 to help out the agent as much as you can. 65 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.280 You know, Sherry, I've been in specific cities trying to 66 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.479 get home, and I tell the agent, get us to 67 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.800 any airport in Ohio, any airport I will drive from 68 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.080 from Cleveland to I don't care because you know, coming 69 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.439 into Cincinnati or Dayton, perhaps the flights are filled. And 70 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.439 if I can give them the option of you know, 71 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.120 four or five different airports, it really enhances our chances 72 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.919 of getting home. Now, look, I've got to pay for 73 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.800 the rental car to get us back, so I make 74 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.120 sure that that's available first. But if that's the case, point, 75 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.159 I mean, if you can help the agent out. Sometimes 76 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.280 it means the difference between a day or two and 77 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.000 getting home or getting to your destination. 78 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.759 Well, and I always consider the time value of money. 79 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.080 You know, if I'm going to sit around an airport 80 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.080 for four or five six hours and I have to 81 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.520 pay a few hundred dollars for the car, I'm going 82 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.800 with the car I want home. I'm not going to 83 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.759 piddle around in an airport or spend a night in 84 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.439 a hotel room just to take advantage of getting flown home. 85 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.039 Well, I tell people all the time to go as 86 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.000 far as you can, as fast as you can, because 87 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.319 I've seen people say, now I'll just wait for that 88 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.520 next flight four hours from now, and then that flight 89 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.159 cancels four hours. Lord, So now you're spending the night 90 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.719 until the next day, and you're kicking yourself. And that's 91 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.599 why if I can get out of town now, I'm 92 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.319 going to do it, and I'll go as far as 93 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.759 I can, as fast as I can, because you simply know, 94 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.400 especially as the day progresses, because once we get into 95 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.960 the early afternoon evening hours, when a lot of these 96 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.120 previously delayed flights really start to become more of an issue, 97 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.319 problems tend to get worse versus better. And that's why 98 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.160 you know, I love flying early in the day, getting 99 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.839 out on that originating flight if I can. 100 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.639 That's my personal preference, all right. 101 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.040 So at least in so far as United shut down 102 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.160 and the Southwest Airlines shutdown, none of this relates to 103 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.279 the shall we say safety on the aircraft itself. It's 104 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.920 all external reservations and computer issues in terms of booking 105 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.000 and getting people on the flights. 106 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.800 Right, right, it would be a lot like you if 107 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.000 you have let's just transportation wise, Let's say you've got 108 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.399 a truck full of cargo ready to go, but they 109 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.600 don't have the paperwork they need to leave, right, that's it. 110 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.519 Everything's working fine, they just don't have what they need 111 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.439 to begin the journey, and that's that's what takes place there. 112 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.360 I've been through more than a few of the computer 113 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.000 issues where we had problems with the weather release, flight 114 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.959 release or something else that needed to be generated from 115 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.639 a waiting ballot standpoint that slowed things down operationally. And 116 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.800 it's tough, but it's it's nothing that relates to safety. 117 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.519 Yeah, I was trying to envision that ripple effect when 118 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.399 you're shutting. 119 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.879 Down all this air. Oh yeah, it's got either ing here. 120 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.160 Oh not what you want. 121 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.199 Eight thirty five ify five cares of the dog station. 122 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.959 Don't vape on an airplane apparently that and more coming 123 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:29.720 up with Jay Rattler. 124 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.040 I'll be right back fifty five KRC. 125 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.199 We all remember time for the Channe nine weather forecasts. 126 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.240 Got a partly Cudi downer hands today, eighty six for 127 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.079 the high down to sixty seventy nine, which is a 128 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.560 few clowns. Eighty eight under sunny skins tomorrow clear and 129 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.480 sixty eight overnight and high of ninety on Saturday, dry day, 130 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:48.720 it'll be seventy one right now. 131 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.079 Time for traffic. I think. 132 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.199 From the up trams per cent earlier, at least sixty 133 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.000 percent of Americans waiting on an Oregon transpland are from 134 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.360 multicultural care communities. Give the gift to bike, become an 135 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.240 organ donor, or explore a living donation at you see 136 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.199 how dot com slaves. Transplant crews are working with a 137 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.560 couple of wrecks on the highway southbound seventy one at Peifer. 138 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.480 They're over on the left hand side. Traffic slows a 139 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.839 bit from two to seventy five westbound two seventy five 140 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.000 are wrecked on the left shoulder before you got towards corner. 141 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.240 Shock Kingram on fifty five KRSS the talk station. 142 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.639 Have you ever been in a cockpit before? 143 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.360 Jay Ratliffe has a thirty eight on a Thursday talking 144 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.480 aviation news with I heard needy aviation expert Jay ratleft 145 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.959 and don't vape on an airplane. I guess Jay a 146 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.000 lesson to be learned here. 147 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.639 Well, yeah, probably because I don't know a felony and 148 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.720 they talk about it all the time before departing. No 149 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.279 smoking in the laboratories, no vapingh There was a gentleman 150 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.160 on an American Airlines flight went to the laboratory, thought 151 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.879 he and that really didn't apply to me, So he 152 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.639 starts vaping, and unbeknownst to him that the alarm in 153 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.759 the cockpit goes off, indicating that you know, somebody's doing 154 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.199 what they're not supposed to do. 155 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.839 They got VAT detectors, they have VAIT detectors in the bathrooms, They've. 156 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.439 Got all kinds of stuff visuals there. Well, you want 157 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.879 to know if somebody's smoking, and the alarms are set 158 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.319 up for a reason, because if a fire breaks out, 159 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.519 it's your toast. I mean, you can't get the airplane 160 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.480 on ground fast enough. So what ends up taking place 161 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.839 is the flight tens go and they open up the 162 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.360 door and there he is sitting in vaping. 163 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.639 Well, you don't have the right to open up the 164 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:33.360 door on me. 165 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.600 And he went on to proclaim that he was important. 166 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.920 He had twenty five thousand followers. Brian, I mean that 167 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.480 makes him. I think he's in at least the top 168 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.120 five five million people. 169 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.959 Yeah, you know who I am. That's it, brother. 170 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.360 And then he goes on to say, and I love this. 171 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.920 He says, I have a lawyer, I'm a lawyer. Blah 172 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.839 blah blah blah blah. This is when the police are 173 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.199 boarding and he says justice is about to be served. 174 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.839 That I think was one of his last Yeah, yeah, 175 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.720 he's right. Justice is about to be served and your 176 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:08.879 butt is going away. 177 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.360 Now. I don't know if you'll be charged with a felony. 178 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:11.839 He should be. 179 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:12.959 He will never be a lot of the fly in 180 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.199 American airlines. I get that you'll face a pretty good 181 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.079 fine from the Federal Aviation Administration, but it's just one 182 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.560 of those reminders that you just don't do stuff that's 183 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.879 going to get you in trouble. Now's if it's a 184 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:29.480 severe enough infraction, they could actually divert the plane to 185 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.519 another location in land to get you off the airplane, 186 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.559 and that inconveniences you and does a lot of things. 187 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.600 I think it opens you up to a lot of 188 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.519 civil suits that people want to sue you for what 189 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.600 you caused to happen to their flight that has been 190 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.519 missing certain things in their life, business meetings, funerals. 191 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.080 Those types of things. 192 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.440 So but again, you know, this type of stuff happens, 193 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.279 and when you recognize maybe two to three million people 194 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.879 a day that fly, I think statistically we should be 195 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.679 we don't have these things happen more often because when 196 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.600 they do happen, social media makes it clear of who's 197 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:10.159 doing what And yeah, this guy was trying to play 198 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.519 the victim card and I don't think it's gonna work. 199 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.399 Wow, well I learned something today. There's no other vape 200 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.799 detectors in bathrooms on airlines. 201 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:18.320 I don't know. 202 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.000 I've always viewed vaping as fairly inocuous compared to actually smoking. 203 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.200 You got to have fire or smoke. The smell is 204 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.200 obviously much much greater with smoke. The smoke actually clings 205 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.720 to the surface of your clothes, and you reclect cigarettes, 206 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.840 and I get all that, but vaping it's I mean, 207 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.720 I've sat next to people who have vaped and you 208 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.840 can barely even smell the whatever flavor it is they're vaping. 209 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.879 Let alone have any concerns like secondhand smoke concerns. I 210 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:42.240 don't know. 211 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.240 Just well, sometimes when you are vaping and smoking, sometimes 212 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.279 the smell to somebody like me could seem the same, 213 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.399 so it would be you know, and again I'm no 214 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.399 expert on it, But the point is we've had some 215 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.679 very bad things happen in the history of aviation when 216 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.159 people have been smoking on board aircraft when they we're 217 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.120 supposed to and to dispose of the evidence, they throw 218 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.440 the uh you know the quote extinguished cigarette into the 219 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.080 trash can fully you find out it's not extinguished and 220 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.159 it catches on fire. 221 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.080 So yeah, it's these are. 222 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.720 The types of things that you have to make sure 223 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.480 that you take as seriously as you need to, because 224 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.279 you know, there's a lot of serious consequences when things 225 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:21.720 go bad. 226 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.399 Yeah, I hear you there, and you know, I understand 227 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.440 combustibility and the idea that smoking is far more dangerous, 228 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.919 But if it's the smell then becomes the issue because 229 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.960 of vaping. Are we going to have like shower requirements 230 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.360 and deodorant requirements for people to get on airplanes? 231 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.159 Jay Bright, I've had to tell people they couldn't fly 232 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:42.919 because it's not like they hadn't had a bath. 233 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.320 In three months. 234 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.440 Oh lord almighty. 235 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.679 That's that's that's a very delicate conversation that you have 236 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.759 to have. But that is, you know, or you know, 237 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.279 if somebody's acting a certain way, or if they appear 238 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.639 to be under the influence of something I mean these are, 239 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.159 or if they're just rowdy and they're the point where 240 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.399 they're belligerent, you have to pull them off to the 241 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.720 side and explain to them that they're not gonna be 242 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.399 allowed to take this particular. 243 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.519 Flight, but don't worry. We're going to get you on 244 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:06.000 another one. 245 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.240 We'll take care of you, and then even by launch 246 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.279 to cand of help you kill time. But it's the 247 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.679 airlines have the right to deny boarding to us for 248 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.600 a variety of reasons, if somebody's not wearing enough clothing, 249 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.039 or somebody's wearing offensive clothing. I agreed some of this 250 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.279 is subjective, but when you try to figure out what's 251 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:25.960 going to be in the best interest of the people 252 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.559 that are flying, you can't, you know, prohibit every single 253 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:34.279 piece of offensive material. But it went so bad that 254 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:38.240 during the Clinton Trump stuff that sometimes people that were 255 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.919 wearing a Trump shirt with some airlines that was considered 256 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.279 something that other passengers could find offensive. Now, obviously, if 257 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.600 it's a Trump shirt and he's flipping people off, I 258 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.960 get that. But some of these were just a Trump 259 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.879 shirt that people said that that's offensive, and you talk 260 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.840 about ridiculous. 261 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.720 That's how far down that path we went. 262 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.000 Trump derangement syndrome was alive, and well maybe not anymore 263 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.200 very much. So all right, well, let's see if we 264 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.360 can get this other one in before we take a break. 265 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.279 Here of parents leaving on vacation have a passport problem 266 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.799 as a I guess this resulted in a social media 267 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.039 a frenzy. So what's this about you? 268 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:14.440 Oh? 269 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:15.120 Good lord? 270 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.200 You know this may be one of those ones. You say, Jay, 271 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.799 you're making this up, but I am not. A family 272 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.799 goes to an airport in Spain. 273 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.240 They're going on. 274 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.120 Vacation, mom, dad, and at least one child, they may 275 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.159 have had two, I don't know. But the ten year 276 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.559 old had a passport that was expired. He couldn't fly, okay, 277 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.480 so they left him. They left him, they left, they 278 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.879 went on vacation. Yeah, you know, I'm not gonna let 279 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.600 my son's expired passport, Marian interfere. 280 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.559 With my vacation. These moms, mom, and dad get. 281 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.519 On the plane, leave, They call a relative to come 282 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.960 pick up their son at the airport, which eventually I 283 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:49.480 guess they. 284 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:49.960 Would have done. 285 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.159 Now what kind of meant and I can't call these 286 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.759 people parents? Now, what kind of mentality do you have 287 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.240 when it's okay with you to leave a ten year 288 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.759 old at an international airport? Well, you get to go 289 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.759 on vacation. I mean, because it was clearly the ten 290 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.120 year old's fault that his pastor was expired because you know, 291 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.919 they're all responsible for their own passports. No, it was 292 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.200 clearly mom and Dad's fault, and just yeah, so that's 293 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:21.720 why it went boom viral immediately, because who most people 294 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.080 don't let their kids go to the bathroom by themselves, 295 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.519 right at maybe ten years of age, But to leave 296 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.159 them alone at an airport when my god, anything could 297 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.759 happen to them, it just yeah. So I don't know 298 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.840 what sort of legal fallback. 299 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.000 They're going to have. 300 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.360 They've got to have something visits, some child family protective 301 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.840 services in order, I would hope. 302 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.799 So I'm not saying necessarily a firing squad that might 303 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.440 be a little extreme here, but the idea that this 304 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.279 child and who knows what he has. 305 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.720 To put up with when they're not at airport, oh god, but. 306 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.279 The thought process of leaving somebody, you know, there are 307 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.960 I have to report on sad, sad, sad stories when 308 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.559 people show up with dogs at airports to find out 309 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.399 they've got to pay extra and they walk away from 310 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.919 the dog and abandon their pet. 311 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.600 I mean that breaks my heart. Do you do it 312 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.919 to a ten year old? Right? 313 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.080 And that's why you'll never hear me say those words 314 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.080 I talk about, I've seen it all. 315 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.000 It's arrogant, it's asinine. 316 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.759 I'll never utter those words because I'll never underestimate how 317 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.960 stupid people can act sometimes, and this is one of 318 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:25.200 those situations. 319 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.840 Well, inevitably the bar will be lowered even further down 320 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.639 the road someday, Jay carry fintain. It really is more 321 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:35.279 problems at Boeing? Can it get any worse for Boeing? 322 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.360 That and hub delays coming up next.

And Boeing Jay, Yeah. 351 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.720 Well, you know they're facing a work stoppage and this 352 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.639 is from a smaller group is about thirty two hundred 353 00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:02.720 people and they rejected the contract and they're on strike 354 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.559 and they're thinking, okay, well, last year at this time 355 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.720 you and I were talking about a different Boeing strike 356 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.399 that had thirty three thousand people walk off the job 357 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.080 that lasts for seven weeks. 358 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.000 This is thirty two hundred. 359 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.679 You're thinking, Wow, the number seems a little bit easier 360 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.639 maybe for Boeing to manage. The problem is that these 361 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.080 are the individuals that work on the defense contract. 362 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:22.399 Side of things. 363 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:28.320 Oh and that represents about a third of Boeing's yearly revenue. 364 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.720 So this is a significant group of people. And I'm 365 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.120 really hoping that this doesn't go seven weeks, and I 366 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.000 doubt that it will. But you know, they turned down 367 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.639 a contract that could have given them up to I 368 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.440 think about a forty percent pay increase over time, five 369 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.320 thousand dollars bonus and some other things, and it wasn't 370 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.279 good enough, and they're looking for something that and this 371 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.879 is really I'd almost say it's one of the last 372 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.320 hurtles that Boeing has from an employee standpoint. But they've 373 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.720 got most everything else in line and they're turning things 374 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:58.480 around in a very positive way. And certainly we wanted 375 00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.679 to continue because this. 376 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:01.000 Isn't just a Boeing issue. 377 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:06.599 Boeing has just a tremendous number of support businesses that 378 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.319 they deal with that depend on Boeing that you know, 379 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.759 for supplies, services and things of that. Yeah, and we talked. 380 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.720 It was in April when their stock had dipped down 381 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:18.640 to that one hundred and thirty four dollars a share 382 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.680 or something. It's up to two twenty five to two 383 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.960 thirty at this point in time because they're doing a 384 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.839 lot of things right. The production of their aircraft is 385 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.440 improving there, they're getting more FAA support on some of 386 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.960 the changes that they're making and some things that need 387 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.400 to take place. But you know, here's another hurdle for 388 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.079 the Boeing management team to cross, and I suspect that 389 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:46.000 they're going to handle it pretty well. And again internally 390 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.519 from a management standpoint, they're putting some people in power 391 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:54.440 that have engineering backgrounds and that thrills me because that's 392 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.160 the Boeing of old and I hope that continues well, so. 393 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:01.240 Do I I mean, the ripple effect. Wasn't even considering that. 394 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.640 But clearly, these thirty two hundred folks being involved in 395 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.680 military related contracts, they've got a lot of leverage over 396 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.279 Bowing considering the amounts of revenue that is. 397 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.839 Oh yeah, And do you think there might be a 398 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.440 little pressure coming from DC thing get this settled, because 399 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.720 I mean, this is a national defense conversation. Too, when 400 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.680 you're talking about a delay in some of the technology 401 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.599
