It being Thursday, 22 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.840 it's that time of week. I always look forward to it. 23 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.439 Get to talk with iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Rattlift Jay, 24 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.159 Welcome back to the Morning show, my dear friend. It's 25 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:15.760 always a pleasure to have you on the program. 26 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.239 Seems like it's been for other brother it is. 27 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.480 Well. You know, I did take a day off last week, 28 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.200 went to lunch with my mom. I was supposed to 29 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.040 get my eyeball surgery for glaucoma don but I had 30 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.719 to put it off because the other eye, which had 31 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.840 been done the prior week, still hadn't healed up enough 32 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.200 that I could use it to read that I didn't 33 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.959 want to. I can't do my show if I can't read, 34 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.280 so anywhow there'd be another delay at some point or 35 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.599 another day off. But removing away from that, I just 36 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.159 before we get to the subject matage, you know, I 37 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.079 start you a curveball. See if you're still on your toes. 38 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.480 What in the hell is it with Boeing not being 39 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.359 able to deliver on the Air Force one. It's taken 40 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.319 them years and years. How long does it take to 41 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.519 build a damn airplane. Jay, Well, it takes a while. 42 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.719 I remember they years ago, they had issues with parts, 43 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.920 they issue with production, They had COVID that slowed him down. 44 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.760 But look, remember President Trump negotiated a deal with Boeing 45 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.719 for not one, but two new seven forty sevens, and 46 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:13.439 he locked it in at a price. And I forget 47 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.639 the exact price. I won't quote it because I don't 48 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.360 like getting emails like that, but the price that he 49 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.639 had him nail them in, they went by that years ago. 50 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.599 I mean, they are so far over a budget and 51 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.479 it's not costing the US sax payer a dollar past 52 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.919 what President Trump and then negotiated during his first administration. 53 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:38.680 So anything with Boeing tends to be delayed, you know, 54 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.680 it just they've just got this reputation right now that 55 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.120 you know, everything has been slowed down. And of course 56 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.400 I'm really hoping that the Trump administration remains as vigilant 57 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.759 as as we had with the Biden administration trying to 58 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.960 keep Boeing accountable. Boweing lied to US five six years 59 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.520 ago coming out of the Boeing Max crashes, saying that 60 00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.520 they learned their lessons they were going to return to 61 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.599 the boweing and all of these shortcuts were going to 62 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.439 be a thing of the past. Well we found out 63 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.560 that wasn't the case. They lied to us. In fact, 64 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.879 if anything, that got worse at it, and which tells 65 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.319 me anything they say now, I could care less. It's 66 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.639 a lot like the politicians in DC on both sides 67 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.479 of the aisle. They're talking. I'm not listening because I 68 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.919 don't believe anything they're saying. So I believe the results. 69 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.240 After we've seen bowing over the next few years and 70 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.919 not having a serious recall or twenty six more whistleblowers 71 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.280 coming forward saying you're not gonna believe what we're doing 72 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.360 now because those things have just continued to happen at 73 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.240 an alarming pace. 74 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:39.000 Well, any prudent business person would know the longer you delay, 75 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.080 the more likely it's going to go up in price. 76 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.960 We always have inflation every year, even if it's kept 77 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.879 to like two or three percent. But they had this project, 78 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.479 they knew what they were going to get for it, 79 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.000 and I mean this is a reflection of the poor 80 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.000 performance generally speaking. They're now going to lose a lot 81 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.240 of money delivering on something that was ordered such a 82 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.319 long time ago, everything's gone up in price. That that's 83 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.199 a risk they ran when they entered into the agreement. 84 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.319 I think at this point in time it's almost double 85 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:06.319 what we all like. 86 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:07.879 God, oh yeah. 87 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.360 So when you look at that, it's but again it's 88 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.680 it's reflective. I think of what the Boeing the leadership 89 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.959 has been over the years. I'm holding off on any 90 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.360 conclusions of the new CEO. 91 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:21.439 I like him a lot. 92 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.240 I like his past management style, but a lot of times, 93 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.639 when you get involved in something that's this deep, sometimes 94 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.639 it can impact you. It was the same concern that 95 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.079 we had to a much greater extent when Donald Trump 96 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.160 was elected the first time. Going into Washington, d C. 97 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.600 We liked the businessman and we thought, oh my gosh 98 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.959 when he was elected last time, is Washington going to 99 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.120 change him? Or is he going to change Washington? And 100 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.079 he went in and stuck to his guns and did 101 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.079 exactly what he said he was going to do. And 102 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.959 that's really what I'd like to see the new CEO 103 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.279 for Boeing do come in there and say, look, we've 104 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.199 had issues in the past, we're changing those, We're changing 105 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.480 the mindset. I know that Sean Duffy and others are 106 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:06.600 going in and conducting some intensive inspections, the FA inspections, 107 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.600 the unannounced ones, which were always a pain in the 108 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.959 butt anytime they showed up unannounced at any airport that 109 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.240 I was in charge of. Slows things down considerably. But 110 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.199 they said they're going to continue to, you know, increase 111 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.120 the number of unannounced inspections and look for violations. And 112 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.240 I just really hope they're going to hold Boeing accountable 113 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.519 in a way that is punitive, because at this point, 114 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.720 every single thing they've done has been met with I 115 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.439 think kid gloves from fines and different Nobody went to 116 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.319 jail when Boeing intentionally put forward a product that resulted 117 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.639 in the deaths of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people, 118 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.959 knowingly putting forth a product, yeah, they knew had serious issues, 119 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.920 and they get a fine. I mean, somebody tell me 120 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.519 what the incentive is to change your future behavior when 121 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.519 that's it. In this latest round, when they agreed to 122 00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.560 the latest thing, they accepted the responsibility, but there was 123 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.040 no criminal charges. They wouldn't let it go to trial 124 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.319 because they knew what was going to happen, not only 125 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.639 with the outcome, but with all of the things that 126 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.040 were going to come out in the trial with regards 127 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.199 to the shortcuts that Boeing was taken. Bowey's a great company. 128 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.480 They have been, they are not now. They need to 129 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.439 get back to the Boeing of old and I really 130 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.399 pray they get there soon. 131 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.720 It's like, get your blood pressure up a little bit. 132 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.480 Jay rattleft those curve balls. 133 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.600 You mentioned that B word. It happens every time. 134 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.079 Brother. I know it. I know it, and I know 135 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:29.399 you're like. 136 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.040 Joe and you say watch this, yeah, and then yeah, 137 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.000 that's when you throw it out. 138 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.600 So yeah, it'll have fun at my expense. 139 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:36.240 I don't care. 140 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.199 Oh, I'll enjoy the banter.

Next word, Jay Ratt love every 149 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.199 Thursday and every Thursday try to throw a bit of 150 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:07.480 a curve ball real quick. I got to ask you 151 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.240 ever had S S S S on your boarding pass? 152 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.199 Jay rattleft Really. 153 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.319 Yeah, it's I can't get into the specifics of how 154 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.720 that's triggered, but I can tell you when you see it, 155 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.079 you hope you're early because you're going to get some 156 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.000 real good attention at the TSA. They're going to make 157 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.240 sure you don't have anything you're not supposed to have. 158 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.639 No kidding is that it's a random thing that you 159 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.839 can just sort of sort of arbitrarily just stamp it 160 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.680 on your boarding pass because you travel a fair amount, 161 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:37.920 I would argue I do. 162 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.439 But a lot of times if you buy your ticket 163 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.759 the last minute, one way with cash, yeah, we're going 164 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.639 to get attention without saying too much, and I probably 165 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.079 just did. 166 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:48.759 No. 167 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.120 Little flags are gonna go up, and you're gonna get 168 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.040 a lot of extra attention. 169 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.120 Okay, So it'll pay for your ticket and cash, well. 170 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.879 You know, and that's that's one of the things that 171 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.600 look at because you know, it's like when you mail 172 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.079 a package and use a credit card. Uh, it can 173 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.480 be a certain weight if you pay with cash, Uh, 174 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.879 it can't be over a certain weight because they have 175 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.800 no way of tracking who sent it. Oh wow, you 176 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.800 run into that a lot of times with the stamps 177 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.519 that you'll get out of the machines and things. But 178 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.759 you know it's with an airline ticket. You buy something 179 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.680 last way, one way, it's it's going to raise some flags. 180 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.839 You raise in the form of payment can dictate the 181 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.040 level of screening that you're going to get. And it's 182 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.519 it's a good thing because if somebody makes the last 183 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.000 second reservation, it could be for a very good reason, 184 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.559 but it could also be for other reasons where you're 185 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.919 starting to you know, not be detected on things. And 186 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.000 believe me, you're you're not going to get away with 187 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.720 it with our friends at the TSA SO. 188 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.440 S S S S on your boarding past, be prepared 189 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:49.799 for the body cavity search. 190 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.879 Yeah, don't blame Trump thinking it's some hitler thing. It 191 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.960 is not. It's been there for a. 192 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:59.159 Wh No fan of the global warming religion, am I 193 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.759 we go to misterday where apparently they have a solar 194 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:02.759 panel problem. 195 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.799 Oh yeah. The Skippel Airport in Amsterdam has been one 196 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.960 that for a number of years has been climate change 197 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.840 central in Europe. In fact, it was a couple of 198 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.519 years ago, Brian they indicated that to reduce the global 199 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.559 footprint of commercial airlines, they were going to reduce the 200 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.399 flight activity by like ten percent. Now, this is a 201 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.720 very popular airport in Europe. In fact, it's one of 202 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.559 the I don't want to call it a low cost airport, 203 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.080 but it is. It's certainly a low cost alternative for 204 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.080 a lot of people to fly into London and many 205 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.399 times you'll have people going into Amsterdam and then going 206 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.960 to other countries by rail because it's a cheap airport 207 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.080 to get in and out of. The more that they 208 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.919 reduce the flight activity in and out of skippele they're 209 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.440 in Amsterdam, the more that the average airfare is going. 210 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:47.559 To go up and up and up. 211 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.000 Well, they decided a number of years ago to install 212 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.200 as many solar panels as they could in order to 213 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.480 be you know, climate climate friendly. The problem is some 214 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:02.200 of these solar panels are located with in an area 215 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.679 at the airport grounds in nearby, and so many of 216 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.120 them that as certain airplanes come in on a specific 217 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.000 runway at a specific time of day, it blinds the 218 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.000 pilots they can't see Oh jeez, So what they have 219 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.679 to do is to close that airport runway that's specific 220 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.720 runway at certain times during the day. Because of this, 221 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.960 and of course it begs the question, but it's easy 222 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.879 to answer, would not have someone maybe. 223 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:28.799 Thought about that? 224 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.960 But the problem is that it's designed by non pilots. Anytime 225 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.480 that you know, each trade who's my broker of choice 226 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.639 tries to upgrade the trading platform, it always seems to 227 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.679 be done by people who've never traded a stock in 228 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.200 their life, because instead of making things easier, they make 229 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.759 it harder. And in this situation, I think it's the 230 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.960 same thing. Yet a bunch of engineers who said, hey, 231 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.159 our goal is to do this, let's do it without 232 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.639 any regard whatsoever of what might you know the impact 233 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.600 might be on commercial aviation coming in and out, and 234 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.159 I mean it just blinds the pilot. But given the 235 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.279 fact that the Skippel Airport has seen a reduced number 236 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.679 of flights, it's probably less of an issue now than 237 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.039 it could have been. But I mean in Europe, I 238 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.039 think it was France a couple of years ago that 239 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.159 made it a law that you could not have air 240 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.360 service between two cities within France if you could get 241 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.240 from one spot to the other by rail two hours 242 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:27.320 or less, because again, airlines are bad, even though it's 243 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.440 single digit numbers, and the aviation world is trying to 244 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.559 get carbon free neutral by twenty fifty, which is never 245 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.480 going to happen. But it's really a nice little you know, 246 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.080 it sounds really good. But look, commercial aviation engines keep 247 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.200 getting better, they keep getting cleaner. The aviation fuel that 248 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.480 we're trying to develop, sustainable aviation fuel SAS is something 249 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.679 that is based on oils, vegetables, those kinds of things, 250 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.000 and those are things that as they're produced, is just 251 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.799 going to make aviation even even nicer. I wish other 252 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.559 industries were as dedicated as the airline industry was to 253 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.759 trying to make things clearer. 254 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.320 Well as a global industry, I suppose, and many of 255 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.639 them do you know, go overseas. They have to do 256 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.679 global compliance, which means you want to fly in the 257 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.039 airpe Union, you're gonna have to cut down your carbon output. 258 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.399 So oh yeah, you have certain engines that are of 259 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.320 a certain age and they're maintained in a certain way, 260 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.080 and I have no problem at all with that. It's 261 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.720 some of these things are just a little bit over 262 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.840 the top, like you know, but you know, what, what 263 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.039 is it that people the countries turn to the minute 264 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.840 that there's some sort of a natural disaster. They look 265 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.000 for the airline industry to come in with, you know, 266 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.399 a number of flights, bringing in supplies and the specific 267 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.000 experience personnel to address the issues that are ongoing. It's 268 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.720 the airlines that come to the rescue. And yet so 269 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.600 many times are made out to be the bad guys. 270 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.720 And yeah, I take incredible exception with that. 271 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.279 Well, it's a convenient target since you know, a lot 272 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.080 of the people can't afford necessary to fly on airplanes, 273 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.000 and so it seems to be sort of the elitist 274 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.919 form of transportation in the mind of so many people. 275 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.279 So it's an easy target to go after anyhow. Well, 276 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:05.440 and in terms of talk about. 277 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.600 It's cheaper now, the fly brine is than it has 278 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.919 been in the history of aviation. So I don't think 279 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.840 we're the bad guys. I think the private jet people 280 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.200 are the bad guys. But thank you, Yes, so you 281 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.039 talk about enough about that, I don't have to comment. 282 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.600 There you go, and I just observe, you know, they 283 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.320 should have done a little advanced planning, like you said, 284 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:25.840 with the solar panels blinding pilots, as if you couldn't 285 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.000 see that a mile away. Hey, they built a Fukushima 286 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.519 nuclear plant in its tsunami zone, so there's that as well. 287 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:32.519 What could go wrong? 288 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.120 No, nothing here, No consult a lot of experts before 289 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.480 finally putting the project to final completion. We're gonna bring 290 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.919 j back for one more UH and a hub delay update. 291 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.679 We've got problems with Canada as a result of terriffs. 292 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.200 Here about that in a second, hang on, we'll be 293 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:55.639 right back.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five kre 310 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.000 see the talk station. 311 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.639 Eight forty eight colored eighty forty nine fifty five KRECD 312 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.840 talk station Bright Towns with iHeart Media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe, 313 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:58.600 Well Teriff have consequences and sometimes companies do well childish things. 314 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.159 This is segue over to it's a line called Flair. 315 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.759 Yes, Flair, it's a Canadian company. When look, I think 316 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.200 they've got twenty whole jets, so of course we haven't 317 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.080 heard of them twenty. 318 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.039 So what's the deal with Flair? 319 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.919 They're having fun and I don't have a problem with this, 320 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.240 But they have a fair sale that's going on. It's 321 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.879 they're calling it a tariff sale. In other words, we 322 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.039 will give you a discount. Besides, well, I think it's 323 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.240 like twenty five percent off their low fares and they've 324 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.879 been flying around in Canada for like twenty years and 325 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.360 they have thirty four to thirty five destinations and they said, 326 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.440 we will give you a discounts tariff discount to fly 327 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:39.360 to any destination other than the United State. It's kind 328 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.440 of they're pushed back on the tariffs. And they also say, 329 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.240 Brian for added good measure. Nobody's gonna trump their deals 330 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.039 because it's a good deal. So their Spirit Airlines has 331 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.559 many times taken the headlines of the day and created 332 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:54.960 I mean they once had a wiener sale because of 333 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.519 some politician that was in the northeast. It was having fun. 334 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.080 So I mean, I never have a problem with the 335 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.399 marketing department having a little fun with you know, with 336 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.320 the headlines. And that's what they're doing. And you know, 337 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.960 if they want to have you know, have this alone, 338 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.039 that's great. And like I said, it's not going to 339 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.960 impact a whole lot of people. Yeah, I know that 340 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.200 the political ping pong has been going back and forth 341 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.840 on the tariffs and a lot of the publicity has 342 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.240 caused a decrease in the demand for travel for people 343 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.679 flying from Canada into the United States. And I know 344 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.200 that there have been some Canadian airlines that have reduced 345 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.120 their flight schedule as a result. It's been minor, but 346 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.639 it's been measurable. So yeah, Flair is, you know, having 347 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.440 some fun here. And you know they're based out of Toronto, 348 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.399 so you can fly up there Air Canada, connect to 349 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.919 Flair and go from there. But yeah, that it was 350 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:43.639 fun to talk about. 351 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.360 Yeah, and it's free publicity for Flair. 352 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:52.240 Yeah, for all their twenty airplanes that were like some 353 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:54.279 of these major carriers we have in the United States 354 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.559 have like over nine hundred. If you need to add 355 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.440 a little perspective to this conversation. 356 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.399 And you know, I did an article. I didn't realize 357 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.399 they had a name. Just sort of moving away from 358 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.279 that subject matter, dude, another one that I had on 359 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.039 my shortlist to talk with you about before we get 360 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.480 the hub delays, Jay, I didn't realize there was a 361 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.359 name for them. But those people, those pesky people who 362 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.200 don't board when they're assigned boarding is announced, They're called 363 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:21.880 gay Life, A life. 364 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:23.559 That now we may not use the overhead airport PA 365 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.400 two to announce them, but these are people that are 366 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.640 in maybe boarding zone nine and they try to board 367 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.200 boarding zone five, right kind of pressure their way past 368 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:36.680 the gate agent, and American Airlines has spent a ton 369 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.400 of money developing a system that, Yeah, if somebody in 370 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.559 Zone nine tries to board with Zone five, some loud 371 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.279 alarm goes off to not only embarrass them, but notify all. 372 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.400 Excuse me, we have somebody here who feels like they're 373 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.400 more important everybody else, trying to cut in front of everybody. 374 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.759 They're trying to embarrass these individuals. But look, the problem 375 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.440 is those people can delay a flight yep, and if 376 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.000 you have enough of them, you can cause the flight 377 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.720 to be dispatched in. American Airlines is saying, look, late 378 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.559 flights cost us a. 379 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.039 Lot of money. 380 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.200 We want to be a more reliable airline. We need 381 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.440 people to board when they're supposed to. And if you've 382 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.200 got a ticket that's so cheap that you board last, 383 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.079 guess what you're going to board last. Don't put your 384 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.680 butt up there sooner to try to board earlier than 385 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.480 you're supposed to, because we're going to embarrass you. Now, 386 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.839 I love the attempt, but knowing these kinds of people, 387 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.119 because of the decades I worked at the airport, Brian, 388 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.680 you know it's not going to mean a thing to 389 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.519 them at all. I don't know what we could ever 390 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.720 do to embarrass them, but I promise you some alarm 391 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.400 with people looking at them, people they'll never see again. 392 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.559 They don't care what people think of them. They're going 393 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.759 to try to do it anyways. 394 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.640 That's so fu gate Lice. I just got the biggest 395 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.079 kick out of that. Again, didn't know that term existed, 396 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.240 all right, looks like. 397 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.680 It's an official airlines JERM these days, believe it or not. 398 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:54.279 That's great. Well, I can anticipate that your hub delay 399 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.720 will include flight disruptions in Minneapolis, Saint Paul having. 400 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.359 Some issues there, also Boston's Salt Lake in LA when 401 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:04.440
