Of course, that's his area 24 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.120 of expertise that in stock trading. Nice couple of days 25 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.040 you had there. He always lets me know a lot 26 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.959 much he makes, which cracks me up. You doing a 27 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.840 good job, Jay, Well. 28 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.680 Just it's patience that I teach my students. If you 29 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.680 can just be patient, the opportunities are there. And you 30 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.680 know if my students sometimes will send me an email, Jay, 31 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.480 only made six percent here, and they're ticked, and I'm like, 32 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.680 what you would take to make six percent using anything else? 33 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.439 Anywhere else? Yeah, sometimes when your expectations are high, you 34 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.560 have you know, a little bit you it's like you 35 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.879 you know, you've got high expectations of yourself, and you know, 36 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.239 anything less than that you don't find totally satisfactory. 37 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:47.840 I spend a lot of. 38 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.319 Time reminding my students that, you know, when you're doing 39 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.959 what other people consider impossible. Yeah, I appreciate every win 40 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:55.599 because those smaller. 41 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:55.879 Gains that up. 42 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.280 Good point, Jay, good point. And I always appreciate your 43 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.000 optimism too. Let us start, if you don't mind what's 44 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.120 going out order here? Because the Air India crash has 45 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.719 got all the rage. We had this initial report that 46 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.919 suggests the one of the two pilots turned the fuel 47 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.520 switches off. There are switches in the airplane which allow 48 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.599 you to cut the fuel to the engines. Now you 49 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.719 may want to explain the reason why those even exist, 50 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.520 but it's I guess, fairly well confirmed that the flight 51 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.479 data recorder indicates that those switches were turned off shortly 52 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.360 after takeoff. One of the pilots asked the other one 53 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.439 why he did that, and he claimed he did not 54 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.680 do that. There was an effort to turn the switches 55 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.319 back on, but by then it was too late. What 56 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.840 this I mean, it's sounding intentional, Jay, And this wouldn't 57 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.240 be the first intentional murder slash suicide that's happened on 58 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:42.560 air aircraft before. 59 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:44.240 It would not be. 60 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.199 And obviously we're talking about the initial report that was 61 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:53.080 just a few weeks after the accident itself, and the 62 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.680 final report is a good twelve months or so down 63 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.680 the road. But the fuel control switches, there are times 64 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.560 when you do need to cut the fuel flow to 65 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.400 a specific engine if you're having problems with it, and 66 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.919 there's two switches, and there's spring controlled spring loaded, I 67 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.719 guess is a better way to phrase it. And you 68 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.240 just grab it and you pull it straight out and 69 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.840 then over a little thing in the middle and then 70 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.599 drop it back into place again with the assistance of 71 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:20.439 the spring. 72 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.360 So you can't bump it off. 73 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.879 I mean, the point is, yeah, it requires a specific 74 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.400 mechanical action that pulling out component. 75 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.680 Right, and there's two black boxes. The flight data recorder 76 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.840 is what investigators were able to glean the information from. 77 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.319 That said, shortly after rotation, in other words, just as 78 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.479 the wheels left the runway is when they were put 79 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.199 into the off position, and you can hear that on 80 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.039 the cockpit voice recorder, which is just not the voices, 81 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.120 but you could hear the click of each one of 82 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.280 those being put in are repositioned one after the other, 83 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.599 and because of the location, they would be something you 84 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.479 would do one at a time. Left to right is 85 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.400 typically how the flight crew would do it, but hero 86 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.000 is a situation where you don't know why it took place. Now, 87 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.719 a lot of times, as a matter of procedure, if 88 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.600 you're flying the airplane, when you get to the gate, 89 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.000 one of the last things you'll do is cut. 90 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:19.839 The fuel to the engines. 91 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.639 It's just a precautionary measure. Stop the float to the 92 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.800 aircraft engines, just part of the protocol. There might be 93 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:29.839 times in flight where you've got a problem with an 94 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.800 engine and you need to cut one or even both 95 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.639 off at a specific time, but Brian, you never do 96 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.879 it right after takeoffs. 97 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.319 And they were in the. 98 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.160 Off position reportedly from this initial report for about ten 99 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.120 seconds before they were put back. One of the engines 100 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.800 started to respond, but sixty second flight they didn't have 101 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.240 nearly enough time. But the Wall Street Journal report that 102 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.000 the pilot that apparently did it is considered to be 103 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.120 the captain. Now, I know a lot of times the 104 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.360 thought was, okay, could it have been this junior first officer, 105 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.879 But you know, the junior first officer was one that 106 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.040 was flying the airplane. 107 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:09.839 His hands were full. 108 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.240 You've got the captain that was monitoring, because the pilot 109 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.319 in command at that point in time of the aircraft 110 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.519 was the first officer, and apparently it was him that 111 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.680 looked to the captain and said, why do you turn 112 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.879 those those offs, to which he responded he did not. Now, 113 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.279 could it be something where they he did something where 114 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.800 he was thinking something else. Typically not because when that 115 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.399 procedure happens, it's a it's a it's a process where 116 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.319 you say you're about to do it, the other pilot, uh, 117 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.279 you know, confirms, and then the action is done, the 118 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.519 fingers put on the the switch and again it's communicated, 119 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.800 you know, cutting power to engine two done. It's a 120 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.000 back and forth thing where you don't have one pilot 121 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.120 acting on their own. It's a team effort in everything. 122 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.319 So sadly, this latest revelation, the one from the initial report, 123 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.519 could suggest that we could go through this entire year 124 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.040 long investigation and not really have a good idea of 125 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.839 why it happened. Yeah, but we know what took place, 126 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.240 but the why aspect of it not. Now, this is 127 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.040 going to be something that you can hear a lot 128 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.800 of people talking about why we need a cameras in 129 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.399 the cockpit, which pilots are dead set against. 130 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:24.720 I think that they should be there. 131 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.920 They're they're in trains and buses and all these other 132 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.639 kinds of things everywhere. So I don't I don't, you know, 133 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.839 I don't agree with that at all. But the other 134 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.199 thing that is going to be pushing here is Oh, 135 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.000 here we go, Jay, Yet another crash, another loss of 136 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.519 life due to pilot air And isn't it time that 137 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.839 we have more automation in the cockpits so we can 138 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.839 have fewer pilots. And even though I'm against the idea, 139 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.920 it's it's a fair argument to have. 140 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.040 Well, yeah, and Holman Jenkins made that argument today. He 141 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.519 just brought up the concept. But we wouldn't have to 142 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.279 completely remove the pilots to incorporate automation. And one of 143 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.759 the suggestions he had was, why not have you know, 144 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.399 ground based ability to take over control of the flight. Well, 145 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.519 that doesn't eliminate human error, but how about artificial intelligence, 146 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.160 you know, like the seven thirty seven Max software upgrade 147 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.839 that they didn't bother telling pilots about to have AI 148 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.360 scream at the pilots you're doing it wrong, or do 149 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.839 this rather than what you're doing, or stop what you 150 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.000 are doing. I mean, that seems like an easy extension 151 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.600 of the intelligence we already have now. 152 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.600 Well, and it's there because you know, when Air India 153 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.519 flight took off, there was a lot of people saying 154 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.759 that the flaps weren't in the proper sense for takeoff. 155 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.759 And I'm thinking well, then you're ignoring a very loud 156 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.759 screeching sound in the cockpit because that aircraft is going 157 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.040 to tell you the flaps are not set for takeoff 158 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.759 as you're starting to roll. So that's something that we 159 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.759 already have. So we've got the automation, the protective systems 160 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.120 within the cockpit and avi onyx that we have as 161 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.160 a package on a lot of different aspects of the operation. 162 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.399 You don't have a landing gear down as you approach 163 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.120 the ground and alarm sounds. All these things are there 164 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.120 to help the pilots who may have a lot of 165 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.959 things going on to remember to do specific things. But 166 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.160 something like that, you know to to not you know, 167 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.120 Plus the engines are humming and you and at that 168 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.680 point of rotation they're room I mean, they've got that. 169 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.639 Deep rumble and you cut the power. 170 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.600 On those, you're immediately going to know it, yeah, because 171 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.480 they're gonna start to spool down. So that in itself 172 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.919 is an audio alert that something's wrong. So we have 173 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.440 some of that stuff built in that's there. But you know, 174 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.240 if somebody's intent I don't care. If if the ground 175 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.720 does have the capability to take over, there's always going 176 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.480 to be a way on board for the aircraft crew 177 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.600 members to override it if there's something else that's going 178 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:55.399 ongoing that maybe isn't initially detected. So Ran there's a 179 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.360 lot of questions here, and we're gonna have to wait 180 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.240 and see where things go. They're looking into the mental 181 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.639 health of the pilots, and a lot of pilot union 182 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.639 people I've talked to, and I have students that are 183 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.720 commercial pilots, are saying, you know, let's be very slow 184 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.399 as we rush the judgment here. And I certainly agree 185 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.919 that we need to do that, but it's it does 186 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.080 not look good. And the way you honor the lives 187 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.159 of people that were lost is Okay, if it was 188 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.039 a mechanical situation, let's fix it and move on. When 189 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.159 it involves possible mental health, that's. 190 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.240 A totally different walk game. 191 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:27.600 And then you're looking at. 192 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.559 Your crew members when they get on like, okay, are 193 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:33.679 you okay to fly today? And that's an unsettling thought. 194 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.039 It is certainly an unsettling thought. And maybe when something 195 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.320 like that outside of the ability of a non medical 196 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.360 professional to clearly assess. Let's bring Jay Ratliff back more 197 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.639 to talk about including idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. 198 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.639 It's eight thirty nine right now. If you have KCD 199 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.240 talk station fifty five KRC, did you pass? 200 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.879 I heard me the aviation nextpert Jay Rival moving away 201 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.960 real quick here before we pass on air Andy. I 202 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:00.399 just got to ask it because it came out earlier 203 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.919 in the conversations this morning with listeners. Do they ever 204 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.480 do any follow up mental health screenings of pilots like 205 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.600 throughout their career, Like, hey, every year you got to 206 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.000 come in and do a psych check or something like that. 207 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.480 Now we have the overall fitness part of it, the 208 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:21.039 mental health aspect is encouraged, but unless it's depending on 209 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.960 an airline and something I'm not aware of most of 210 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.639 the time, it is not there as needed. And fortunately 211 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.440 there's a lot of pilots that take advantage of that. 212 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.600 And you know why pilots would be considered immune from 213 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.080 all the things that impact all of us and all 214 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.399 these other different professions. I mean, obviously those men and 215 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:39.919 women go. 216 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:40.320 Through a lot. 217 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.240 So yeah, man, it's there for them as they need 218 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.759 and fortunately a lot of people take advantage of it. 219 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.480 All right, And why would someone punch a United Airlines 220 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.799 gate agent Jay Ratliffe. 221 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:59.080 Well, normally alcohol is involved. This was at the Washington 222 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.279 Dallas Airport. He had a delayed flight, and anytime you 223 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.480 have a really delayed flight, you know people are gonna 224 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:08.039 be spending time relaxing alcohol. And there was a man 225 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.039 that came up. He started yelling at the gate agent. 226 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.039 He actually took his boarding passes that I refused to fly, 227 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.960 tore it up, and then storm back to the ticket 228 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.120 counter demanded another one. Well, but the captain is aware 229 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.360 of some of this that's ongoing. So the captain you know, 230 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.279 shows up and pulls the passenger off to the side 231 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.480 and says, you're not flying on this airplane. 232 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.120 I mean, it's just we'll help you on. 233 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.840 Another flight, but you're not gonna be on my aircraft. Well, 234 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:34.759 the guy gets mad and walks over to the gate 235 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:39.039 agent and punches him and knocks the gate agent out. Well, 236 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.440 the passengers arrested off. He goes he could have faced 237 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.480 ten years in prison two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine, 238 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.840 as these always are, it's flea dealed down where I 239 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.840 think he had to pay fifteen thousand to the gate 240 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.799 agent he knocked out. He will face the fine from 241 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.720 the FAA be banned from flying United Airlines ever again. 242 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.720 But you know he can fly Delta tomorrow, Yeah, the 243 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.720 next day, all these other US carriers. A man who's 244 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:10.559 proven to be a threat to fellow passengers and other 245 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.840 crew members, perhaps it's allowed to fly. And I just 246 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.639 I think that's wrong. Now if it's a situation where 247 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.000 they get in an argument, disagreement, you know, blah blah. Okay, 248 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.639 I get that we don't want to ban somebody like that, 249 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.399 But to me, here's a very clear case. He can't 250 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.759 put them on the terror watch list, but a clear 251 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.720 case of where okay, you've lost your flying privileges, which 252 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.039 is what it is, yes, for a year, for two 253 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:41.080 years something where there's some significance with regards to consequences, 254 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.960 and Brian, it just doesn't exist because airlines aren't willing 255 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.519 to create something like that because it's at a cost 256 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.840 for them to create that kind of database, manage that 257 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.120 database to keep these individuals off the fly. 258 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.480 All right, Well, I guess Delta air Lines is looking 259 00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.799 to maximize profits. Now they're going to be using artificial 260 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.879 eligence to do that. Jay Ratliff will come back and 261 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.080 tell us how that's gonna work plus hub delays.

One more here 298 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.120 with IRT media Aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. Artificial intelligence creeping 299 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.519 in everywhere and og there's a pesky profit motive motive 300 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.480 over at Delta Airlines. How are they using AI to 301 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.720 maximize their profits? 302 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.360 Jay, Well, you know most of the time and for 303 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.559 decades there lines of us what we call a static 304 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.440 pricing model for their pricing of their seats, sell x 305 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.320 percentage at this low price, and then a slightly lower 306 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.960 percent at a higher price, and it goes from there, 307 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.480 and as each one's ticked off the available seats, the. 308 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:16.120 Fare goes up. 309 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.000 Well, Delta has been using over the last several years 310 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.240 artificial intelligence as a way to kind of boost their profit. 311 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.960 Now they're saying, we're doing this because it gives the 312 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:31.360 customer the price they're willing to pay, so they're saying 313 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.399 it's a good thing for consumers. Now, this is also 314 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.200 the same airline that was caught charging more for a 315 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.000 single traveler than for a couple traveling on the same route, 316 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.879 so sometimes up to seventy percent more. So am I 317 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:50.399 going to necessarily believe that this increase in AI pricing 318 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.840 is for my benefit? 319 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:53.440 No, it's for profit. 320 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.000 And Delta right now is planning as much as twenty 321 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.559 percent of their fares to be based on artificial intelligence pricing. 322 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.679 And obviously Delta right now is leading the pack with 323 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.919 regards to the revenue their performance. They're just a very 324 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.879 very well ran airline and they will be setting the 325 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.279 pace for other airlines because they'll follow this as well. 326 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.320 So artificial intelligence as it's in its infancy, if you will, 327 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.600 and a lot of aspects and businesses. It's the exact 328 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:25.279 same thing here. Where airlines can use this a for pricing, 329 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.679 they're certainly using it for customer service where they have 330 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.360 artificial intelligence responding to people as they have various questions 331 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:32.799 and things. 332 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.600 And it's back. 333 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.559 To the more technology we have, the cheaper it will 334 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.600 be for us because we do not have to worry 335 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.679 about employee costs and benefits and. 336 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:43.639 All the things that go with that. 337 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.200 And yeah, they're running in this direction as fast as 338 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.759 they can so, but I love Delta. They are my 339 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:51.960 carrier of choice, but I am not going to believe 340 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.840 artificial intelligence is being put in place for my benefit 341 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:56.360 of pricing. 342 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.399 I'm sorry, it's a safe bet, Jay. 343 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.519 Now the AI will will probably be performing some sort 344 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.519 of actuarial analysis in order to determine pricing. Like I 345 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.519 guess they could figure out which flights to which destination 346 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.039 typically have more business travelers and those are the ones 347 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:13.599 that are willing to pay the most money for a 348 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.880 ticket as opposed to like maybe holiday destinations where people 349 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.680 have the luxury to plan a year in advance for 350 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.759 their for their flight and it. 351 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:25.319 Can also look back to what Jay's paid on previous tickets. Oh, 352 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.920 so it's already got an idea of what is comfortable 353 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.720 for me and what's not. So with that kind of mindset, 354 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.880 the thought is, well, you know, Jay and Cherry paid 355 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.880 this for this trip on this day. 356 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.000 So even though the actual. 357 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.519 Fair could be maybe lower, you know, wow, it's out there. 358 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.839 So I mean the possibilities are endless. 359 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.200 Oh without class where they could go. 360 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.640 With this, And if they're going to base it on individuals, 361 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:53.839 then what they're telling me is, Jay, we're going to 362 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.480 look at your spending habbits, We're going to look at 363 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.519 your tribal preferences. We're gonna blah blah blah blah blah, 364 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.039 and that's the package you're going to be presented. No, 365 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.160 I want to be able to look across the way 366 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.799 and you know, see what's the best fare that I 367 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.839 can give, schedule those types of things. But we all 368 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.039 have different travel patterns and as a result, sometimes it's 369 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.599 how you pay for your ticket, or how far in 370 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.319 advance you make your reservation, or do you fly one 371 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.440 way around trip More often than that, I mean, there's 372 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:23.400 so many factors that go into you know, the the behind. 373 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.200 The scenes. 374 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:30.240 Logistics, if you will, of someone's travel. Yeah, habits that 375 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.160 a lot of this stuff can be fed into this 376 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.559 artificial intelligence that can better match me for what I'm 377 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.440 looking for, which, sadly, I think my opinion could cause 378 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.000 me sometimes to overpay for something I shouldn't well. 379 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.440 Exactly, And I suppose ano the scenario you painted where 380 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.680 they're using AI on an individual passenger basis, I could 381 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.960 be sitting in the room right next to you on 382 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.559 my computer, I have a different travel in an airline usage. 383 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.079 I've paid less or more than you. I could plug 384 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.519 the same flight, same day, departure, same flight, and end 385 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.079 up with a higher price ticket than you, even though 386 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:05.559 we're doing at the same time, in the same. 387 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.960 Room, on the same flight, same day. 388 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.759 Yeah, yeph wow. 389 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.920 Which can also be the case because a lot of 390 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.039 times people will contact me and said, Jay, you know, 391 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.519 I found a flight to this country for this price. 392 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:18.640 What do you think. 393 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.079 I'm thinking, Oh, it's probably gone by now, because a 394 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:24.200 lot of times those prices there might be three seats 395 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.680 when you check availability, and it's there because you have 396 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.799 last seat availability on most of the online systems you're 397 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.000 using with the airline and yeah, there is only one 398 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.839 seat left or two seats left or whatever, so it's 399 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:39.240 grab it as you can. So I'm used to people 400 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.839 paying different fares. What I'm not used to is the 401 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.000
