And some of 46 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.560 our friends around the country you kind of have to, 47 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.039 you know, spoon feed them on some things as far 48 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.240 as what the topics and the direction we're going to go. 49 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.520 Never have to do that with you, And you know 50 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.280 that's what makes it fun for me. 51 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.560 Well, you're an engaging person to talk to. 52 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:23.639 It. 53 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.960 I have a natural sense of curiosity about things that 54 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.479 I don't have a you know, a real profound connection with. 55 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.680 So let's start with the American Airlines. We've got a 56 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.439 passenger lawsuit over a groping incident. 57 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.520 Jeez, yeah, this happened. It was it was well the. 58 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.919 Number of I think it was last year that the 59 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.960 flight attendant was or excuse me, a passenger was touched 60 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.159 in appropriately by the person she was sitting next to. 61 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:50.000 She told him to stop, stop, stop. He did not. 62 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.680 She didn't bring it up to the flight attendant until 63 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.719 they were deplaning, so he's gone and at that point 64 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.319 in time, there wasn't anything they could do. She was 65 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.599 upset because she said, look, you know who he is 66 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.560 because he was sitting here and you've got all the 67 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.960 information on all of us, so it's right there. 68 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.560 But they just gotta blew an off. 69 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.199 So what happened was she found out later that this 70 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.439 same man had later it was March of this year, 71 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.520 was accused of the exact same thing, and that she 72 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.719 was saying, wait a mante, you know, I told you 73 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.439 what was going on. Then she found out it happened 74 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.960 a year before her situation. 75 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.000 Oh so they had prior notice. 76 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:30.719 That was her position. 77 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.319 So she's suing the airline saying, look, you knew that 78 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.680 this was a potential problem. Passenger never should have been 79 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.639 allowed on the airplane. I think it's like a seventy 80 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.319 five thousand dollars lawsuit or whatever it was. But it 81 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.680 was something that when you look at this passengers on 82 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.080 board flights, especially red eyes, everybody's got their ears on 83 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.400 something else of those kinds of things, and what ends 84 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.680 up taking place far too often is, you know, when 85 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.360 these types of situations happened, fellow passengers are oblivious to 86 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.879 it because they're either sleeping or preoccupied in something else 87 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.599 that they're doing. And that's why passengers that have inappropriate 88 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.639 interactions with fellow passengers are always encouraged to notify the 89 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.680 flight attendant if they can. If not, you hope somebody 90 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.279 sitting nearby will do so for you, just so that 91 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.240 they can get involved and maybe, you know, move someone 92 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.360 somewhere to try to minimize the situation that's ongoing. 93 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.759 Yeah, I guess I'm the litigation attorney in me, and 94 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.439 my brain is spinning along the lines of litigation, you know, 95 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.519 hold the airline response for this, and they've got to 96 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.240 be unnoticed that the guys this kind of guy in 97 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.199 order to prevent him from getting on the flight, but 98 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.879 in order to prevent the guy that getting on the flight, 99 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.240 they have to know that it actually happened, that someone 100 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.000 just didn't make it up for the purpose of being 101 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.560 a jerk or something. You know, they may have had 102 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.399 a bad, you know, run in with them in the 103 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.199 in the the baggage area or something like that, and 104 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.040 he's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna pile on this jerk 105 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.600 and accuse them of, you know, inappropriately touching me. You know, 106 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.800 there's all kinds of potential, i possiblebilities out there, so 107 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.399 putting them in a position of liability for this guy's 108 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.079 alleged grope when she didn't bring it to their attention 109 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.839 on the flight. I don't know, I don't know. It's 110 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:10.560 that's a tough I. 111 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.399 Don't see it going anywhere anyway, because I'm thinking if 112 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.360 he was accused, that's. 113 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.120 Not that's not exactly to. 114 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.319 Me, just a totally different thing. But yeah, it's I 115 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.959 guess some of some of your common sense is rubbing 116 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.240 off on me, because when I read that, that's exactly. 117 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:27.560 What I thought. 118 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.879 Well, you're a man of common sense yourself. You don't 119 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.519 need to be a lawyer to figure that one out. 120 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.040 But you know that I will on that, but okay, 121 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.079 we waits. I will point out although they do have 122 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.839 a legal department, I'm confident American Airlines they have in 123 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.120 house lawyers that can handle this. So they're already on salary. 124 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.959 But if you had to retain an attorney to respond 125 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.240 to the complaint and file for emotion, to dismiss the 126 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.040 fact that she's only asking for seventy five grand, this 127 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.800 is one of those you know what, it's cheaper to 128 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.560 just settle it right or at check. So that's maybe 129 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.800 that's that's the whole Well, I know plainus lawyers, and 130 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.399 I've dealt with them a lot over my life, and 131 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.879 trust me, I have a feeling knowing the way we 132 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.680 talked about it and knowing that the likelihood of a 133 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.600 judge or jury finding them liable for this guy's behavior 134 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.360 is slim. He asked for a low asking the complaint, 135 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.240 and then you settle for somewhere in the middle from 136 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.319 zero to seventy five thousand dollars, and they calculate what 137 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.720 their legal fees would be at five hundred, six hundred 138 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.920 seven hundred dollars an hour, and you can do the 139 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.759 math on that. That's what they typically do. Don't go 140 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.079 away more with Jay Ratliff.

Now, look, you're on a five and 192 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.120 a half hour flight Hallolu to Tokyo over the water, 193 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.720 it gets stuck, you start smelling that, and yeah, you 194 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.799 declared emergency. They landed at their destination as quickly as 195 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.519 they could, fire trucks standing by just in case. But 196 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.240 these liftian batteries continue to become an issue, an issue, 197 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.279 an issue. You can't ban them obviously from commercial flights, 198 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.080 but I don't know what it's going to take because 199 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.639 we've had situations where some of the power chargers they 200 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.120 have overheated dramatically, right and there's there's been some that 201 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.039 caught airplanes to catch on fire and things of this nature. 202 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:53.440 So it's. 203 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:56.799 It's something going to have to happen before we take 204 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:57.840 some drastic steps. 205 00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:58.320 I don't know. 206 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.840 You can't have people fly with their mobile devices. That 207 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.840 simply is not going to happen. But for some strange reason, 208 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.120 these lithium batteries are the only thing that we can 209 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.720 do as far as from a charging standpoint, as far 210 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.759 as a power pack, and it's creating some real issues. 211 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.559 I mean, we've there's been airport videos of people walking 212 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.080 through the airport with their phones and their backpack that 213 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.279 immediately catch on fire, and then the backpacks on fire 214 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.120 y quickly and when you're at an airport, that's one thing. 215 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.519 But if you're in an airplane thirty five thousand feet 216 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.919 that happens. I mean the flight attendants again, one more 217 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.279 thing they have to take care of is to keep 218 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.519 us safe by making sure that that onboard fire is 219 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.879 quickly extinguished and contained well. 220 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.759 Seeing to two solutions come in to mind very quickly. 221 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.320 Have every seat built like in the you know, the 222 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.799 the section where the fold out tray is. With a 223 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.039 fire suppression bag, you can easily contain your fire, your 224 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.639 cell phone, your laptop if it starts on fire starts smoking, 225 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.480 that gives the passenger an immediate opportunity to stuff it 226 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.720 away and prevent the fire from spreading. 227 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.960 Do you think cheap airlines Well, I know, I know 228 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.039 are going to pay to put that in every seapocket. 229 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.720 We would like to, because you know what they tell us, Brian, 230 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.000 safety is are number one priority. That's our number one. 231 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:20.559 No, it's not. 232 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.440 Profits are But that's why they would never do something 233 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.720 like that because it would cost too much money. It's well, 234 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.720 so many recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board following 235 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.480 a crash or a near crash or loss of life 236 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.840 where the NTSB tells the FAA, here's fifteen different recommendations 237 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.080 that'll make aviation safer. And the minute one of those 238 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.480 starts to cost too much money, the FAA says, well, 239 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.159 we're not gonna, you know, implement this recommendation, but you know, 240 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.519 we'll consider some of the others. Money dictates everything, and 241 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.240 that's why I want to throw up every time I 242 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.879 hear one of these airline people CEOs talking about how 243 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.320 safeties are number one priority. Well, it sounds really good, 244 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.559 but it's not what really happens. 245 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.360 Well, maybe if it's not in every seat, maybe at 246 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.279 least one every five seats or something, you know, something 247 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.600 that's easily accessible. I don't know, and I think about 248 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.000 that laptop getting stuck between the seats. You know, they 249 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.879 make products out there, like for automobiles that will close 250 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.000 that gap. It's just a little thing, an insert you 251 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.960 put in there. Ye, you know, maybe like a velcrow 252 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.600 piece of fabric that closes up the gap where the 253 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.600 laptop might get stuck, so you don't have to land 254 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.519 the plane. You know, I don't know. 255 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.720 You know, if we have a loss of life, all 256 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.039 these creative things are going to come to light and 257 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.960 you'll see airlines that will, you know, pull a hamstring 258 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.879 running to the podium to talk about how they're going 259 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.440 to solve the problem. Well, why did it take a 260 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.840 disaster before you did that? 261 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:46.200 Right? 262 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.480 It's like the plane crash in the helicopter Blackhawk in DC. 263 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.960 We knew there was a problem with that airspace forever. 264 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.759 Nothing was ever done until there's a loss of life, 265 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.840 and then guess what changes are put in? 266 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.000 Well speaking, yeah, well sot's speaking of that. We were 267 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.240 at a break so well we'll catch it. You'll catch 268 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.360 my listeners up on the most recent update on that, 269 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.399 because yeat things have changed finally. Also, the deadline for 270 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.600 the real ID is getting ready to kick in. Are 271 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.399 you prepared more? With Jay Ratliffe after these brief words 272 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.879 fifty five KRC, what if one more time for the 273 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:25.600 Channel nine first Warning weather forecast. Scattered afternoon storms developing 274 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.240 around one pm today and I have seventy eight down 275 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.159 to fifty nine tonight with a slight chance of storms, 276 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.639 seventy two to the high tomorrow, with mostly cloudy skies 277 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.240 and some scattered afternoon storms at least possible overnight, a 278 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.559 slight chance of rain in a low forty five in 279 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.960 the weekend for the Flying Pike kicks off on Saturday 280 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.480 with fifty chances of some spotty showers, and I have 281 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.639 sixty three seventy degrees right now in time for traffic. 282 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.039 From the UCL Tramphing Center. You see how weight Boss 283 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:56.000 Center offers comprehensive obcdcare and advanced surgical expertise. Call five 284 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.840 one three nine three nine two two sixty three. That's 285 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.279 two sixty three. Cruise are just about ready to clear 286 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.919 the accident on river at State. I'm starting to see 287 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.080 traffic move a little bit better, but it's going to 288 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.919 take a while to get rid of the backup which 289 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.000 is passed Fairbanks southbound seventy five continued slow in and 290 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.759 out of Lockland northbound seventy five. Heaviests from Erlanger Chuck 291 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.480 Ingram on fifty five KROO see the talk station. 292 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.559 Hey forty nine fifty five kercite talk Station Tech part 293 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.840 to with Dave Hatter plus Corey Bowman on the program tomorrow. 294 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.559 In the meantime, one more segment here with iHeartMedia Aviation. 295 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.000 Next for Jay Ratliff. Jay, you mentioned a Blackhawk DC 296 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.240 plane crash, which seems to be something that should never 297 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.840 should have happened in the first place, Why in the 298 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.279 hell is a helicopter flying in a flight path of 299 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.200 airplanes and they had been warned about it too, and 300 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.799 yet they disregarded the air tower. So what's the solution 301 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:47.960 for this? What brilliance did they come up with that 302 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.600 they should have come up with a long time ago. 303 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.720 Well, they've stopped the helicopter routes across the river, for 304 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.279 one thing, and that was something that I think should 305 00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.159 have been in a long time ago. 306 00:14:59.320 --> 00:14:59.600 Amen. 307 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:04.360 And the latest report that we had it kind of 308 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:08.120 focuses in on the communication between air traffic controllers in 309 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:12.960 that black Hawk helicopter, the last one being a request 310 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:19.480 for the black Hawk to alter their approach and that 311 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:23.399 didn't happen. And when it initially didn't happen, they're the 312 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.840 flight instructor that was conducting the recurrent training for the 313 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.039 woman that was the pilot in command, repeated the instructions 314 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.039 to her, which she acknowledged, but there was no change 315 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.840 in the course of the flight. So this happened thirteen 316 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:44.480 seconds prior to impact. And we're looking at, Okay, why 317 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.759 after receiving that set of instructions and then having your 318 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.799 flight instructor repeat those to you. Was there no change 319 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.159 implemented in the flight pass? So the thought is it 320 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.759 could have boughttom obviously valuable time. Would it been enough, 321 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.120 We don't know, but we certainly wish we would have 322 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:05.039 had those thirteen seconds. They were still flying, I'm told 323 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:09.200 the night vision goggles which severely limits their peripheral vision, 324 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.000 so they may or may not have seen things at 325 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.240 that point in time. Some people are critical of the 326 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:19.399 air traffic controller for not being more vocal as or. 327 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.120 As the urgency side of things. 328 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.080 I'm not seeing that, although I can understand the point. 329 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.759 But Brian, the air traffic control was constantly telling the 330 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.919 black Hawk to keep an eye on the approaching regional jet. 331 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:38.360 They were giving its location. The helicopter continued to indicate 332 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.679 that they had the regional jet on final in visual. 333 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:46.480 So the idea that air traffic control dropped the ball here, 334 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.279 I didn't get that, because it seemed like they were 335 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:54.039 very very particular as far as constantly letting that black 336 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.559 Hawk helicopter know of that other traffic, and they must 337 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.799 have just been looking at something completely different when they 338 00:16:58.840 --> 00:16:59.960 acknowledged that they had it in. 339 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.720 Yeah, And I saw that theory suggested that shortly after 340 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.400 the incident occurred that there was another plane on final 341 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.359 approach I guess behind the one that they ultimately ran into, 342 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:10.799 and they may have had their eyes on that one 343 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.359 and knew that they would be past that possibility or 344 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.680 that that that that area by the time that one landed. 345 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.519 So lord knows, the reportals show that, and the other 346 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:26.160 thing will be there's probably multiple causes here on this 347 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.759 particular disaster. That tends to be what happens. There's rarely 348 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.440 just a single cause. It's normally. 349 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.680 Several. But you know the idea. 350 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.000 Well, the first thing, when we heard that the aircraft 351 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:40.799 collision took place near three hundred feet, it was like, 352 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.200 well time out here that that that can't be because 353 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.960 the helicopters have that ceiling of two hundred feet and 354 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.960 they'll higher. So, you know, was there equipment malfunctioning? Why 355 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.119 were they at an altitude they should not have been at? 356 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.240 Was you know, to me one of the biggest things. 357 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.799 But there'll be about another eight months before the NTSB 358 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.039 rolls out their final word and most, if not all 359 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.319 the questions we have should be answered through that, and you. 360 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.160 Know, well, I changes will be made something that we 361 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:10.480 know right now is that why should they have been 362 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.279 allowed to fly that way in that area and the 363 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.440 first place. Anyhow, Uh, finally, before we get to the 364 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.640 hub delays, the real idea I got kicks in on Monday. 365 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:24.559 Right, Let's see, it's the seventh, I believe, so it'll 366 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:26.759 be uh, I know it would. 367 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.519 Be Wednesday, Wednesday or Wednesday. 368 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:28.920 Excuse me? 369 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.240 Yeah, I flipped the can Yeah, in fact, it's May. 370 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:33.759 And I was going to say, real quick, I'm thrilled 371 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.640 because May means breeze. They're flying out of Cincinnata, Providence, 372 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.039 given us that seasonal flight, and then we've got a 373 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.200 legiance going to Gulf Shores in Portland. Golf Shores is 374 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.279 big ones, So I'm thrilled that we flipped the calendar 375 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.799 to May. But yes, the real ID act that has 376 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:54.720 been in the work since two thousand and five kicks 377 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:58.599 off on Wednesday. So passengers need to have the acceptable 378 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.000 form of identification to a flight and to get into 379 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:03.119 federal courthouses. 380 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:05.240 So you've got to have that ID. 381 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.599 And if you've not flown in a while, you can 382 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:09.519 go to TSA dot gov and look at all of 383 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:15.079 the acceptable IDs that you can have to fly as 384 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:17.079 of the seventh and again, this is something that's been 385 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.400 in the works for decades and it's finally coming to 386 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.920 that point. Yet the TSA tells us Brian there could 387 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.920 be twenty to twenty five percent of travelers this do 388 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:29.680 not have the real ID. Now, if that's the case, 389 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:35.039 you talk about fun come, oh lord. But my compliments 390 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:40.680 to the government for making this effected in May. May 391 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.559 is one of the slowest travel months of the year, 392 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.799 So you're going to roll this bad boy out, not 393 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:49.359 bad so unlike Southwest who's going to start charging check 394 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.720 bags at the end of the month at the beginning 395 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:53.400 of the busy summer travel season. 396 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.359 That's going to be interesting is everybody tries to carry. 397 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.519 Stuff on board the government again, I'll give them. I'll 398 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.960 give them pro here because you know, doing it early 399 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.559 in the month of May is going to give us 400 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.440 a chance to work through it. Now, the TSA knows 401 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.119
