The Boeing striking Boeing 50 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.080 workers were in Seattle on Tuesday and Senate candidate Marie 51 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.840 or Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat out of Washington, got 52 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.520 booed after dissing Trump housing shortage. She blamed the housing 53 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.360 shortage on Donald Trump, and everybody erupted in booze and 54 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.639 they were some of the union members were interviewed and 55 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.080 they said, we weren't booming Donald Trump, we were booing 56 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.199 her for trying to shift the blame. 57 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.199 Well, you know, it's it's typical politicians. They they instead 58 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.400 of trying to excitsu what you're positives, talking about what 59 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:48.840 you can do, what you can what you can do, 60 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.520 it has to be well, I'm not Donald Trump. And 61 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.280 these individuals seem to forget that Donald Trump was president 62 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.240 for four years, so he has a track record. We 63 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.319 know what he did or didn't do, and we know 64 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.639 what's happened not happened in the last three and a 65 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.199 half four years. So the only thing they can really do, 66 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.120 because they can't brag about what's happened, far from an 67 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:11.280 accomplishment standpoint, is to at every possible venue bring this 68 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.039 stuff up. And I'm glad there was some pushback, and 69 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.759 I wish you would happen all the time, because it's 70 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.080 just they just don't understand that, I'm sorry, we're not 71 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.759 buying your crap, We're not listening to what you say 72 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.199 and without checking that it's absolutely right. Now, does Donald Trump, 73 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.840 you know, exaggerate some things? Absolutely does, and I'm glad 74 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.919 when he's called the task on that as well. 75 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.199 But you know, the bottom line. 76 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.479 Is that these days everything's videoed, so when that kind 77 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.159 of moment happens, it's it's there for us all to enjoy. 78 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.000 Isn't That's the truth? 79 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.879 And you think by now more politicians would make wake 80 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.599 up to the fact that they are going to be 81 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.840 fact checked and there is. There are recordings of literally 82 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.479 everything they've said over the past ten plus years, so 83 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.120 you better be consistent, not lie. So anyhow, it's an 84 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.319 interesting time we live in, and not that that's a great. 85 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.120 A Vice President, Brian, you can change your pos is 86 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.919 on absolutely every single thing that you've said and expect 87 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.439 people to believe you really mean. 88 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:05.840 It this time. 89 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.400 And I'm sorry, I'm not that gullible, neither of I Eddie, 90 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.439 I love the police, that's right, saying no, I love it. 91 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:14.520 Sure as he does. 92 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.360 Okay, let's talk about another strike front of your airlines. 93 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.279 Pilots voting to strike if necessary. That sounds like there's 94 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.879 a caveat there. What's the story on this one? 95 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:26.040 Well, it's ninety nine percent to strike vote, is what 96 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.319 they did. But you know a lot of times when 97 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.639 you have this type of situation where you're trying to 98 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.240 hammer out a contract, eventually the flight attendants, the mechanics, 99 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.720 the pilots, whoever might happen to be are going to 100 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.000 take a strike vote, and the purpose is to show 101 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.439 a were unified and beat us into public message, hoping 102 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.560 that that kind of helped pushes the ball down the 103 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.199 field a little bit more. And I've had people reaching 104 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.079 out to me saying, Jay, I love Frontier and I 105 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.240 do as well. Should I be worried? I'm like no, 106 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.360 because I'm not, because there's still plenty of time for 107 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.319 things to get worked out, hammered out in the deal 108 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.680 that can be reached I know that a lot of times, 109 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.879 if it's a Southwest employee group that has had this 110 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.160 kind of situation happen before, you know, people freak out. 111 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.920 American Airlines had the same sort of thing. You've seen 112 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.279 different airline employees go this route, and each and every 113 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.279 time the strike did not take place. Now, I'm not 114 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.839 saying that's a guarantee it won't happen, but I am 115 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.759 saying that on a worry scale of one to ten, 116 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.319 I might be at about a three because I'm very 117 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.360 sure that this is going to get worked out. It 118 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.759 would not prevent me from booking a future Frontier airline's flight, 119 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.439 you know, at all. Now, obviously get the trip cancelation 120 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.519 insurances you would normally get to protect yourself. But you know, 121 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.360 for me, that type of thing is not going to 122 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.040 cause me to change my travel plans at all. 123 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.920 Well, and you know, just observing and you look at 124 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.720 the auto workers and the other people going on strike, 125 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.279 it seems to me that labor has an upper hand. 126 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.680 I don't want to say for a change, but I 127 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.040 don't recall this many strikes going on and during my lifetime. 128 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.319 Maybe I'm just haven't been observing when and where they 129 00:05:59.399 --> 00:05:59.800 have gone. 130 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.040 If there's somebody that observes most of what's going on around. 131 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:04.800 Them, it's you, my friend. 132 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.560 So and that would be an accurate term because I 133 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.319 think of late that that's kind of been been the case. 134 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.720 And you know, I'm an old, you know, management kind 135 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.519 of guy, so union and I used to beat heads 136 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.600 all the time. But you know, with me trading stocks 137 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.399 and seeing that some of these companies that were very 138 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.839 well ran for decades gets a new team of management, 139 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.959 they end up driving it into the ground, they end 140 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.199 up going bankrupt, and then all of a sudden, the 141 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.639 employees are being forced to accept a reduced benefit package 142 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.959 because of the idiots that did that. Right, I mean 143 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.480 to me that that's criminal, and that's what I become 144 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.199 a union guy from the standpoint of Look, men and 145 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.399 women work their whole lives for you professionally, and now 146 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.160 you're telling them sorry, that's exactly it. And that to 147 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.439 me is why, you know, I'd love to see more 148 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.560 give and take as far as the employee groups and 149 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.240 things of this nature. Yes, sharing in the good times, 150 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.959 but also bearing the brunt when times are bad, which 151 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:06.519 is kind of making me thinking, how far are these 152 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:07.759 boeing employees going to push it. 153 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.040 Good point. 154 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.519 We'll continue. iHeartMedia Aviation Expert, Jay Rat. If it's eight 155 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.000 thirty six right now, stay right here at fifty five 156 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.360 kr C DE talk station. 157 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.000 Fifty five KRC dot com talk station brand that was 158 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:21.720 at Jay Rat left. 159 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.879 iHeartMedia Aviation Expert moving over to another near miss. We've 160 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.480 talked about near misses of late and well you point 161 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.079 out it's not statistically significant, it still scares a living 162 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.720 hell out. I mean, it's two planes that crash into 163 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:37.120 each other. 164 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:37.439 Jay. 165 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.879 Yeah, Well, the headlines are saying near miss, but the 166 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.519 appropriate term to use is runway incursion, and that's what 167 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:46.439 a lot of these are. 168 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.959 And this is what happened in San Diego. 169 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.680 You have a Southwest flight that's on the ground that's 170 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.319 given permission to taxi across an active runway, and at 171 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.639 the same time, you've got a Southwest to parting flight 172 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.120 at the end of the same runway by another air 173 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.439 traffic controller that's given permission to take off, start rolling 174 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.399 and go. So it wasn't long before the Southwest flight 175 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.439 that was rolling down the runway was told to cancel 176 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.240 their takeoff and they did. Now long before they got 177 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.160 to the end of the runway where the other Southwest 178 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.360 jet was coming across, so there was a great deal 179 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:23.040 of distance between the two. So when you say runway incursions, 180 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.600 nobody's going to click on that article. But if you 181 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.120 put near miss, you've got everybody looking at it. But 182 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.920 the Federal Aviation Administration announced this week that they're going 183 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.720 to open a what's called a runway incursion audit. They're 184 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.799 going to be looking at the incursion risk at the 185 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.159 forty five busiest airports because obviously we have a problem, 186 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.240 and of course the government when they see a problem, 187 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.360 the best way to determine what it is is they're 188 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.960 going to have an audit. They're going to study it 189 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.519 for a while, and then hopefully after that they'll come 190 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.440 up with some possible ideas that can eventually be implemented. 191 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.240 And it's going to be the typical slow process. But 192 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.279 you know, the head of the FA saying, actually, the 193 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.480 number of these incursions are down, which they are, but 194 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.679 it doesn't mean that, you know, with social media being 195 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.960 what it is, before the aircraft has stopped rolling, it's 196 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.600 already become a viral story and obviously it's gonna you know, 197 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.039 go to the top when we were talking about airplanes, 198 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.360 and we've had some out of Syracuse and others that's 199 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.759 been captured on video of two aircraft that were very 200 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.639 close to each other, and certainly that makes the matter 201 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.679 even scarier for this And sadly, Brian comes down most 202 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.000 of the time to employee error as far as human error. 203 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:30.919 So that's one of the things that you have to 204 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.720 look at is are we understaffed at these airports? Are 205 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.919 they getting the adequate rest and training and all the 206 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.480 things that we need to have And we'll have to 207 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.799 wait and see. Now, I will say, and you know, 208 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.759 the FAA number of years ago lowered the standards of 209 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.240 their air traffic controllers where in essence to increase diversity, 210 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.320 bring everybody in that they could And that's good to 211 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:55.960 a point. But the problem is if it lowers the 212 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.919 competency level of the work being done, then that becomes 213 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.480 an issue. So we'll have to wait and see. And 214 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.080 if that is a consideration, let's hope that they've got 215 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.720 the courage to be transparent enough to say, you know, 216 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.159 maybe that wasn't the right thing to do. 217 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.679 Well, don't hold your breath on that. No, No, in 218 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.679 air traffic controls like the peace of God. I do 219 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.000 get the concept, but I don't know about the current 220 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.200 You know, how the software works or how tracking works, 221 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.960 but it just seems to me. I mean, it's twenty 222 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.799 twenty four. Everything is so automated. We've got so many 223 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.960 different detectors and sensors and everything that this could even happen, 224 00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.639 or that you have to rely on exclusively a human 225 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.159 element to make sure these things don't happen, these collisions. 226 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.360 I don't know. It just seems like are they behind 227 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:36.840 the times? 228 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:37.240 Perhaps? 229 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.159 Is there a better way? 230 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.759 Yeah, the FAA seems to get whatever money falls off 231 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.840 the table to crumbs. And when I look at it, 232 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.279 recognizing as you and I've talked so many times over 233 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.360 the years, that the aviation industry is an important part 234 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.320 of that economic engine that powers our country, the last 235 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.519 thing you want to do is give. 236 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:55.360 It scraps, right. 237 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.679 You want to make sure it should get the investment 238 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.879 dollars it needs. But sadly, many times when it becomes 239 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.080 a government project, they're late, they're over budget, and all 240 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.600 the other stuff that goes along with it, which really 241 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.639 defeats the purpose. And that's sad too. A ton of 242 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.600 money is going into commercial aviation. It's there, but sometimes 243 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.440 when you look at all the areas it's being spent, 244 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.639 you know, Yes, we want airports to be upgraded, we 245 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.960 want them to be modernized, but some of these the 246 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.519 equipment side of things from a technology standpoint, especially on 247 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.200 runway incursions, to me, should be a priority. 248 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.000 Well, going back to the unions, I am thinking about 249 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.440 the dock workers that's struck most recently, and they demanded 250 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.080 that they use no modern automated automation technology. And because 251 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.000 so they can maintain their union member numbers. You know, 252 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.279 we can't have modern technology to make things more efficient, right, Oh, 253 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.639 we lose members. So and maybe there's a component of 254 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.440 that going in there. 255 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.559 It could be you just never know. 256 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.600 And the airline industry itself has always been one that 257 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.799 the more technology they can bring in, the fewer people 258 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.080 that they can employ and have like and the FAA 259 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.799 is doing the exact same thing. If it's a matter 260 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.279 of making things safer with it increasing the automation side 261 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.000 of things, then we owe it to the people that 262 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.120 travel every day, the two million plus of us that 263 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.360 do to make sure things are as safe as we 264 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.279 can make them. Human air is going to happen, and 265 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.600 all we can do is hope to reduce the likelihood, 266 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.480 not obviously eliminated, because even technology can fail us from 267 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.679 time to time. So you've got that fine balance. But 268 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.559 we are, thank god, enjoying the safest air ever of 269 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.799 commercial jet travel that we've ever seen ever in the 270 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.720 history of this company a country. You've got to go 271 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.120 back to February of two thousand and nine to the 272 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.039 last major situation that we had with the Colgan Air 273 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.600 crash in Buffalo that was also Pilot Air, and a 274 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.639 lot of changes happened after the result of that crash 275 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:49.879 that killed fifty people in all. So it's not an 276 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.600 accident that between now and then we've had this kind 277 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.679 of safety, because it takes a lot of hard work 278 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.080 by a lot of dedicated people to make it happen. 279 00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.960 But sadly, you can also get into that state where 280 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.080 you start to get a little laxed, a little complacent, 281 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.559 and that's when mistakes can happen. And that's what we're 282 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.879 really trying hard here to avoid because sometimes that complacency 283 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.919 can lead to some dangerous decisions. 284 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.559 Yeah, no question about it, don't mind. I want to 285 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.440 hold you over. We'll either go really really extra long, 286 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.799 and I get the hairy eyeball from Joe. That way, 287 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.240 I don't want to give short drift to the next story, 288 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.399 which will be a funny one plus our hub delay report. 289 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.919 One more with Jay Ratliffe. After these brief words, stick 290 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:32.480 around fifty five KRC the talk station. One more time 291 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.440 for the channel line weather.

West Elton remains blocked outside of Middletown between Somerville, 304 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.320 Jackson Burn and Milk do to a wreck there's an 305 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.360 accident on the Swordsville Westchester below Tylersville. 306 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.840 Chuck ingramon fifty five KR see the talk station. 307 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.559 Eight fifty Friday Eve tomorrow Tech Friday with Dave at 308 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.720 or every Friday at six thirty and wrapping up a 309 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.240 show with one more segment here with I HEARTBEDIA aviation 310 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.960 expert Jay Rattliffe, and we enter the realm of the 311 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.879 strange and weird and guys, can't you put it down 312 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.960 and leave it alone until the flight's over? 313 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:43.960 Jay? Well, can I talk about the pilot that got 314 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.440 locked out? 315 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:45.799 That's what I'm talking about. 316 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.080 Wanted to make sure that's the direction we were head of. 317 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:54.320 Brother locked the first a officer outsidue of the cockpit. 318 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.440 What the hell happened? 319 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:57.919 They had a disagreement of some kind. This is a 320 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.960 Sri Lankan airline flight, ten hour flight and something happened 321 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.120 as far as a disagreement between the captain and first officer, 322 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.840 and the first officer were left to go to the lavatory. 323 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.639 And the protocol has it now internationally It used to 324 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.159 be just here in the United States. So it's now 325 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.919 internationally that a member of the flight attendants the normally 326 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:19.799 the lead flight attendant will come in and stay in 327 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.639 the cockpit, so the door is shut and secured, and 328 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.799 you always have two members on the flight deck at 329 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:25.360 all times. 330 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.559 When the pilot comes back. 331 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.519 Then the flight attendant leaves and the other pilot's in there, 332 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.440 so you always have a minimum of two people there 333 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:34.159 on the flight. 334 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.559 Deck, which makes sense today if you don't mind me interjecting, 335 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.960 Because the copilot, let's say, leaves, goes to the lavatory, 336 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.759 and then the pilot has a heart attack or or 337 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.039 a medical incident, somebody's got to be in there with 338 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.679 them to open the door for somebody else to come 339 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:49.480 in and rescue them. 340 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.879 This is true, but we've also had sad situations where 341 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.639 it's been locked and the pilot has flown the airplane 342 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.559 and into a mountain and delivery. 343 00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.200 Right, And that's right. 344 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.320 It was the It was the German Wings flight, and 345 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.960 that was one of the things that brought about the 346 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.039 change where people said maybe we should do things like 347 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.600 they do in the United States. Hello, thank you about 348 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.240 time for that. But here what happened was the first 349 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.519 officer leaves and as the door kind of pulls back, 350 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.960 the captain pulls. 351 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.039 Up and shuts it and locks it. 352 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.879 Well, now the captain's in the cockpit by himself flying 353 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.159 the airplane, and the flight attendant can't get in to 354 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.200 where she's supposed to be. Now you can imagine the 355 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.200 concern a on the crew members and especially on the 356 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.639 people up front of the airplane that are noticing somebody 357 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.759 just got locked out and. 358 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:36.080 They're not opening the door. 359 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.759 Now you talk about something that could set off panic 360 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.480 on that airplane as people wonder what in the world's 361 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.480 about to happen next. 362 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.759 Well, finally, after a period. 363 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.120 Of time, the flight attendants, using the intercom system into 364 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.120 the cockpit, we're finally able to get this captain to 365 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.120 finally open up the door. The flight continues to where 366 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.039 it's going in lands, and the captain has put on 367 00:16:55.360 --> 00:17:00.360 administrative leave as they try to determine exactly what cause this. 368 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:01.919 And regardless of. 369 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:06.240 The reason, you can't deviate from the safety protocol that's 370 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.240 in place, because in essence, you're putting the lives of 371 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.680 other people at risk for the very reason you said, 372 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.240 if there's a medical situation that happens, or if at 373 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.880 that moment there was a mechanical situation that would require 374 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.839 all hands on deck, both pilots, Well, because of your 375 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.160 stupid actions, you don't have a full complement of crew 376 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:27.119 members on the flight deck to deal with whatever problem 377 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.440 might be coming up. So yeah, for all the obvious reasons, 378 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.720 this never should have happened. 379 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:32.880 And yeah, the. 380 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.400 Pilot will probably be allowed to fly back, but after 381 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.200 a great deal of training. 382 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.359 And I'm sure a big old posted. 383 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.839 Note is a filey. You bet you on that one. 384 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.359 All right, as we always do, we'll close out with 385 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.559 hub delays. How's it looking out there for air travel? 386 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:48.000 Is useful day? 387 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:50.039 I think Salt Lake City is it? As far as 388 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.440 from a ubstandpoint. A lot of the weather is minimal 389 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.440 at points this morning we did have some de icing 390 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.400 delays because of the frost that was on some of 391 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:02.359 the aircraft because we're already the next season already. And yeah, 392 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.160 other than that, Salt Lake City, so it's going to 393 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.160 be a beautiful day to fly real quick. 394 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.599 Here are the airports back in operation post hurricane? 395 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.279 They are Yeah, in fact, we were we were seeing 396 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:16.960 that last weekend. Quick. Well, they're they're revenue centers. 397 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.319 Yeah, you know, to crank that bad boy up as 398 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.680 quickly as you can, and you have people that need 399 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.359 to get into and out of those affected areas. Clearly 400 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:28.359 and again, airlines think when it comes to customer service. 401 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.400
