18
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>On a Thursday, Slash Friday Eve Always loved this time

19
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>a week. It is time for iHeart Mediavash expert Jay

20
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Rattloff Jay, how you doing?

21
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>My good friends? Always a pleasure to have you on

22
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the program.

23
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 4>Good morning to you. I'm doing very well, too many

24
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 4>things to be thankful for.

25
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 5>It to be otherwise, you know that.

26
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Well are you done at the Southern Command right now?

27
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 5>Oh? We are.

28
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the winds the tropical storm warning kicked in and

29
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 4>about to this morning we were starting to get some

30
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 4>gusting winds forty to fifty miles an hour with some rain.

31
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 4>Most of it was just the winds though. And we've

32
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 4>got four of these great, big oak trees that are

33
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 4>hundreds of years old the yard and we keep them,

34
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, trimmed out of all the dead stuff. But

35
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 4>having storm after storm after storm, you wonder just how

36
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 4>they're going to be able to withstand that. We had

37
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 4>some damage to the house with one of the trees

38
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 4>at the last storm, and we're thinking, okay, is how

39
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 4>the wind's going to be now?

40
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 5>But we fared okay.

41
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 4>And even if we didn't, I mean, goodness, looking at

42
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 4>the path of destruction going through Florida, that's just again

43
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 4>just terrific. And you know, to see so much, you know, happening,

44
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 4>it's just makes you count your blessings.

45
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Amen to that, And I just real quick i'd ask,

46
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 1>are you in an area that could be described as

47
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a flood zone, or do you have any risk of

48
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>any flooding happening. I know with the torrential rains you

49
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 1>might get a little water in your house or something.

50
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>But are you high enough a way that you're not

51
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be dealing with this potential issues?

52
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're hind enough.

53
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 4>We happen to live on a peninsula, so we've got

54
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 4>deep water on both sides of the house, but it

55
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 4>is far enough down that it would have to come

56
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 4>up quite a bit for that to be the case.

57
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 4>And we've got a two level house, so would you

58
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 4>go upstairs if things start coming through the front doors?

59
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 5>So we would be okay there.

60
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, we are not technically in a flood zone,

61
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 4>which means we pay six hundred and eighty dollars a

62
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 4>year for flood insurance versus the sixty eight hundred a

63
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 4>year it would be if it was a flood zone.

64
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 4>So I'm pleased to say we are not.

65
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh and so am I That's good. One thing that

66
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe don't have to worry about. One thing we might

67
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about. And I know we've talked before

68
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>about the idea of getting rid of co pilots and

69
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>just having one pilot in the cock And I know

70
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you you're on record saying that I think that's a

71
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>bad idea. Well, welcome to reality. I think you're right, Jay,

72
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like a bad idea when your airline captain

73
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>drops dead in the middle of the flight.

74
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was a Turkish airline flight. I think they're

75
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 4>going laed Is symbul and so they're tooling across the

76
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 4>country and yeah, a medical event takes place, the captain collapses,

77
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 4>they have medical intervention, which means the flight attendants get involved.

78
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 4>They've got a defibrillator on board, you've got medical personnel

79
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 4>that are always on the flight that will come and

80
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 4>try to assist. The flight made emergency landing in New

81
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 4>York and by that time the captain was gone. So

82
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 4>it was just really a sad situation. And yes, both

83
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Airbus and Boeing are working on prototypes for the airlines

84
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 4>at their request that would be in essence, a single

85
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 4>pilot cockpit, stating that the automation that's available today makes

86
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 4>a second pilot unnecessary. And of course in a situation

87
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 4>like this, excuse me, yes, you do need it now now,

88
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 4>Brian Here's the other thing, though, The people that say

89
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 4>there should be no pilots cocktail will point to this

90
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 4>as an example of why you should not have anyone

91
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 4>up there. They'll point to the fact that most accidents

92
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 4>in your accidents are the result of human air and

93
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 4>they'll say that you've got so many airlines from a

94
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 4>logistics standpoint, that have to worry about the number of

95
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 4>hours the crew members flying inconveniencing passengers when weather causes delays,

96
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 4>where those hours are exceeded and everything has to stop.

97
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 4>If everything's fully automated, you have none of those worries,

98
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 4>and the airplanes can be kept in motion. Passengers wouldn't

99
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 4>be inconvenience, and they will they will throw it out

100
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 4>that yes, it would be safer.

101
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 5>I don't agree.

102
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't okay, let me let me just see any

103
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>one pilot situation. Pilot drops dead, how does the automation

104
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>safely land the plane? I mean, IOW, I know about ISOs,

105
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but how would that kick camp.

106
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 4>Someone would be trained on the aircraft to step in. Now,

107
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 4>they would be a pilot to some extent, but they

108
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 4>would be trained on how to get everything turned over

109
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 4>to the automation side of things not what not the

110
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 4>experienced level you would have if you'd have you know,

111
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 4>two pilots that had you know, tens of thousands of

112
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 4>hours or whatever between them on the flight deck. So

113
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 4>and again, the computers can only respond to what they've

114
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 4>been programmed for. And I know it's an overused example,

115
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 4>but the Hudson River landing with the bird strike with

116
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 4>US Airways, We've never before had a double engine bird

117
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 4>strike that caused both engines to stop, turning that airplane

118
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 4>into a glider. Had the computer on board an aircraft

119
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 4>been faced with something that wasn't programmed for, what's going

120
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.040
<v Speaker 4>to happen? And look, this is just years after nine

121
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 4>to eleven and you've got an airplane that's out of

122
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 4>control with no engines, headed towards downtown New York.

123
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.839
<v Speaker 5>I mean, please, it's just yeah, it would have been horrific.

124
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.519
<v Speaker 1>So and then also you talk about, you know, they

125
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 1>can only do what they've been programmed to do. I

126
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>understand the concept of garbage in garbage out, and that

127
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>not that they would be putting garbage into it, but

128
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 1>they can't anticipate every scenario. But also, what are the

129
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>concept of hacking or maybe an EMP or something. Once

130
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the electronics are rendered incapable or corrupt, wouldn't it be

131
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>nice to flip the switch and be able to go

132
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to full manual. I mean, so if you had a

133
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>real license pilot then knows how to land a plane

134
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 1>without the automation, that someone would be there for that

135
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>total agreement.

136
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 4>In fact, I want somebody that has a vested interest

137
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 4>in that plane landing sell I want their butt on

138
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 4>the line too. So when I understand and I saw

139
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 4>over the decades of working in that industry, and I

140
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 4>saw the level of training of these pilots where the

141
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 4>front landing gear was locked sideways and they're coming into

142
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 4>land and what do you do, Well, no problem, They

143
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 4>just landed like the Space Shuttle. They landed with the

144
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.920
<v Speaker 4>nose up, and they allow it to continue to go

145
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 4>down the runway, nose up the entire way, and in

146
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 4>the last few minutes they just drop it down on

147
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 4>the nose where, yeah, the wheels sideways is going to

148
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 4>scribble a little bit. Now, that happened with a Jet

149
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 4>Blue flight out on the West coast, and that's exactly

150
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 4>how they handled it, exactly the way they've trained. And

151
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 4>when the captain got off the plane. He was ticked

152
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 4>because he missed the center line by I think six inches.

153
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 4>That's how good these people, these men and women are.

154
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's pause on that heavy note and we'll bring Jay back.

155
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 1>Talk with hurricane conditions, the airport closures. When is commercial

156
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>flight activity going to resume in Earnest? Plus hub delays

157
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>which is a component of that more with Jay Ratliff

158
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 1>after these brief words, it's beyond.

159
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Hi Kersee detox station. Jay Ratliff has higher mediation.

160
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 1>After Jay Ratliff, with just one more segment, we got

161
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 1>to go a little shorter day because empower are you

162
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>some of our Rob Tunnel is going to join the

163
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>program in the last thing to talk about why we

164
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.759
<v Speaker 1>don't need a constitutional convention. In the interim, let's get

165
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>back to Jay and talk about hurricane We've got obviously

166
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>back to back hurricanes. But in terms of shutting down airports,

167
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I gotta imagine Tampa's not open right now. But what's the

168
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>story on this? When are you opening one?

169
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Will?

170
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>When will they reopen in Earnest? And when will this

171
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>commercial flight activity resume?

172
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 4>YEAF airports closed Tampa, Saint Pete, Fort Myers, Sarasota, all

173
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 4>the way across Orlando Daytona Beach. All of those have

174
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:35.519
<v Speaker 4>pretty much closed down Tuesday and Wednesday, and Brian, we're

175
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 4>expecting today that as the storm has moved through, the

176
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 4>airports will have to go through their necessary inspections. They'll

177
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 4>be doing runway inspections, they'll be looking at the avionics

178
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.039
<v Speaker 4>systems around the airport, making sure that it's also safe

179
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.600
<v Speaker 4>from a facility standpoint for the employees, the passengers.

180
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 5>The aircraft, the crews, all of that.

181
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 4>And they've got a checklist of everything they go through

182
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 4>to make sure things are okay, and then once that's

183
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 4>been verified, flight activity will start to resume. We might

184
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.919
<v Speaker 4>start to see some trickles later today, but I think

185
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 4>that within the next probably twenty four hours, we'll start

186
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 4>to see these airports come back to life. And I

187
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 4>think they should be back to full schedule as early

188
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 4>as Saturday. I've been getting a lot of emails from

189
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.559
<v Speaker 4>people traveling this weekend or you know, coming up over

190
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 4>the Monday Columbus Day saying Jay, what do you think

191
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 4>and given where these aircraft are staged and the plans

192
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 4>airlines have indicated, I think that we'll be back to

193
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.559
<v Speaker 4>full schedule as early as Saturday. Now, maybe some things

194
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.360
<v Speaker 4>will change, but this storm has moved so fast that

195
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 4>it's going to allow us to recover quickly. Now, obviously,

196
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 4>if there's any airport damage to the facility itself, any

197
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 4>runway damage where flooding or anything is corrupted a runway,

198
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 4>it might limit flight activity. But I suspect that we're

199
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 4>going to be in pretty good shape in just a

200
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 4>couple of days and we'll be back to normal operations.

201
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, any of these airports you rattled off, any of

202
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 1>this made your hubs, Like when you think of Dallas

203
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 1>or you know, Chicago, you know major hubs. Atlanta is

204
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>another one. But are there are any of them that

205
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>are that big that could have a profound ripple effect?

206
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Are there?

207
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 5>Well?

208
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean Spirit has fluff lights where they've made in essence,

209
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.120
<v Speaker 4>the Orlando a hub from the from the idea of

210
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 4>anything big.

211
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 5>Most of the major.

212
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Hubs in Florida would be the Miami International at Fort

213
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 4>as well, but mainly Miami. Orlando would be kind of

214
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 4>a close second, and then Tampa. But a lot of

215
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.039
<v Speaker 4>these are just the in and out the direct flights

216
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 4>as outstations operate. And again, the good news is that

217
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 4>the people that do this, they are so good at

218
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 4>getting these airports back up because remember that's that's a

219
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 4>revenue mission, yes, and the last thing you want to

220
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 4>do is have a silver revenue tube as we call them,

221
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.039
<v Speaker 4>an aircraft sitting around not doing anything.

222
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 5>As well as the.

223
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 4>Airports, they want to get that bad boy fired up

224
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 4>as quickly as they can. They just need to make

225
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 4>sure it's safe before they do it, and then as

226
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 4>soon as that it's done, it's like, hey, let's get

227
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 4>the flights.

228
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 5>In here and go from there.

229
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 4>Orlando was never closed totally because it was still open

230
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.799
<v Speaker 4>for emergency operations if the military had to bring in

231
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 4>any sort of relief flight with medical personnel, cargo, those

232
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 4>kinds of things. But again, when you look at Debbie,

233
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 4>how slow it moved and the problems it gave us,

234
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 4>this storm has been a very fast one and it's

235
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 4>exactly what we want to have. Not those winds, obviously,

236
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 4>but we want the storm to move through quickly so

237
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 4>that we can resume normal flight operations because you've got

238
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 4>airlines that are trying to bring in cargo, yeah, as

239
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.399
<v Speaker 4>well as the first responders and people that are anxious

240
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.480
<v Speaker 4>to get home to check on friends, family and their property.

241
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 4>So you can't resume that stuff too soon.

242
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, real quick for we get hub Lays and part

243
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Covey this week. Jay, How about the airplanes themselves? Did

244
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>they fly those out of the area before the hurricane

245
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>was on final approach?

246
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 2>If he so bold always, I.

247
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 4>Mean what happens is, long before the winds got to

248
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 4>the point where they were problematic, airlines canceling flights and

249
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.440
<v Speaker 4>aircraft that were scheduled to be at all those airports

250
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.799
<v Speaker 4>that were impacted in Florida, we stage them in other airports.

251
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 4>We'll get them out of there to nearby airports that

252
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 4>are out of the range of this storm. Because you

253
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 4>never want to have an aircraft that's in a high

254
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 4>wind event where you've got debriflying all over the place,

255
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 4>that's going to get demed. It becomes a mechanical situation.

256
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 4>It's out of service, so the mechanics can fix whatever

257
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.559
<v Speaker 4>damage it is. So you don't take that chance. You

258
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.440
<v Speaker 4>get these expensive airplanes out of harm's way, and as

259
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 4>soon as that storm moves through Boom, you get them

260
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 4>back in their airlines stink when it comes to customer service,

261
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 4>but are regular flight operations like this. They've got down

262
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 4>to a t and they do a very good job

263
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 4>because they get us all accommodated long before we have

264
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.799
<v Speaker 4>to get to the airport. They let us know our

265
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 4>flights are impacted. If they are, they give us options.

266
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 4>If you want to put it off to another week,

267
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.840
<v Speaker 4>another month, they have waivers that allow us to do

268
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 4>that without eating a change fee. So the only thing

269
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 4>that we had was United Airlines real Quick was kind

270
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 4>of gouging people because the fares out of Tampa to

271
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 4>Chicago the last day of the airport was open American United.

272
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 4>Excuse me, American Southwest. We're charging like four six hundred

273
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.759
<v Speaker 4>dollars like to Chicago United was over two thousands.

274
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Holy yeah, well, unleash Kamala Harris on him.

275
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 4>We got to hit okay, but the administration didn't come

276
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.679
<v Speaker 4>out quickly saying they were going to go after airlines,

277
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.080
<v Speaker 4>and they quickly shut it down.

278
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, fair enough.

279
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, Maureen pointed out, we got to worry about I

280
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>guess tropical storm Nadine next on the agenda. Anyway, we'll

281
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about that down the road. Jay real quick Hub delays,

282
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>what are we looking at today.

283
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Sir Florida is it. The rest of the country is

284
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 5>in great shape.

285
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful Jay. I always love talking to you, having you

286
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>in the morning show. Look forward to next Thursday, and

<v Speaker 5>I appreciate it, serve with you too.

290
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, Thanks brother forty five.

291
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>If if I have Karsey Talks Station, do we need

292
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>a constitutional Convention? Rob Tutt'll be talking about that at

293
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 1>the empower Use Seminar. They'll be talking about that coming

294
00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 1>up after the break. I hope you can stick around.

295
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Ive k R C M
