Media aviation expert Jay Ratt left. Jay, 26 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.640 welcome back to the Morning show, my friend. I love 27 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:22.159 having you on. 28 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.680 Hey, pleasant, good morning to you. It's it's good to 29 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.480 be back. Last Thursday, I'm like wandering around lost. I'm 30 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.319 glad you were having a good time, but you know, 31 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:31.879 I'm just yeah, it wasn't the same. 32 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.200 So I'm glad we're chatting again. I am too, And 33 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.599 I'd be honest with you. I was probably still sleeping. 34 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.200 I didn't text you to ask how you were doing. 35 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.280 Yeah, Now that's funny because I always appreciate you and 36 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.799 Dan Carly dor Kevin Gordon filling in for me, and 37 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.000 I never listened because when I'm taking my days off 38 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.640 and I'm doing this staycation, I am sleeping as late 39 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.280 as I can because it's one of the things I enjoy, 40 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.359 not having to get up at two thirty. But beyond that, 41 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.840 and I always throw your curveball. I this is an 42 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.480 opportunity for you to double on something you've warned people about. 43 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.280 Time and time again. Alaska Airlines East one seventy five 44 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.240 getting ready to leave Seattle Tacoma International Airport heading on 45 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.039 over to Redmond Municipal and apparently traveler loading his gear 46 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.960 up late pulled a tennis racket out of his bag 47 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.960 and made a joke saying, well, I finally got the 48 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.439 bomb in and that resulted and of course a delayed flight. 49 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.000 Well, you know, in what happens is people say, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 50 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.000 it was just a joke. Well, I'm sorry once the 51 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.599 words come out of your mouth. There is no other 52 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.319 protocol for anyone in the airline industry other than to 53 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.000 a kick you off, b make sure all your check 54 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.520 luggage is off, and they will probably many times they'll 55 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.919 even do an inspection of the aircraft to make sure 56 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.680 you didn't bring anything on board that you might have 57 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.000 been able to get through. Security is a pain in 58 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.759 the butt for everybody. And and well, you know a 59 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.840 lot of times people are looking for a you know, 60 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.879 make a joke, kaha kind of thing, and some people 61 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.759 are just scared to death to fly, and when they do, 62 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.960 they just babble on and sometimes they say some of 63 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.719 the most ridiculous things that you could ever hear come 64 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.520 out of their mouth, and all you do is inconvenience 65 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.639 every single person. You'll probably never again fly that airline, right, 66 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.599 and you're looking at a fine from the Federal Aviation Administration. 67 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.639 I mean, you're gonna have years of problems because of 68 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.879 one stupid comment. But the airline cannot allow that flight 69 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.400 to be dispatched in the event. Somebody said that because 70 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.800 if the airplane were to take off, god forbid, and 71 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.560 have an accident and crash, there's three survivors. What's the 72 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.560 three survivors going to report? Well, the last thing I 73 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.759 remember was some guy saying at a bomb on an airplane? 74 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.840 Right now, they could probably disprove that from the NTSB investigation, 75 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.439 but the airlines are going to take that risk. It's 76 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.719 simply not going to be allowed. And yeah, that was 77 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:56.319 the end result. 78 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.680 Well, as the article reports, I do it in abundance 79 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.360 of caution. This is along lines with what you're talking talking about. 80 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.240 The aircraft was deeplane and a canine searched the aircraft 81 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.960 and cleared it for travel. Now is that do airports 82 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.120 typically keep canines locally and they're ready to do. 83 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:10.759 Something like this? 84 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.120 Yeah, most many airports will have the canine teams that 85 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.399 are there for explosive trace residue and other types of 86 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.240 things that might be associated with an instrument of terror. 87 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.680 A lot of times they're behind the scenes around the 88 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.120 baggage after we've turned it over. 89 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:29.160 Yeah check baggage. 90 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.360 Yeah yeah, it's part of the process. You see them 91 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.360 occasionally walking through the terminals, but most of the times 92 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.279 it's behind the scenes. It's one of the many, many 93 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.959 things we do from a security standpoint that people don't see. 94 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.639 And when you have somebody that breaches security and gets 95 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.360 past security, you've got to search. When you have someone 96 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.720 that has made a threat, even though they say it's joking, 97 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.040 you have to assume it's real and go from there. 98 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.240 You also have to be concerned if they're flying with 99 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.959 someone else, So a lot of times when they deplane, 100 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.199 there will be a review by law enforcement to see 101 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.519 if this individual was knowingly flying with someone, or if 102 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.519 someone had an identical travel itinerary or something where if 103 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.680 they're going to the same city, connecting to the same city, whatever, 104 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.519 that individual is going to have a conversation and they're 105 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.959 going to see if there's any connection between the person 106 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.439 who said it was a joke and another passenger. So 107 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.480 there's so many things that have to happen, and so 108 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.800 many people are inconvenienced. Again, and believe me, law enforcement 109 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.040 is going to go through it as though it's a 110 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.000 real threat. And if they find out, you know it's not, 111 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.160 that individual is going to be facing some serious consequences. 112 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.480 But they have no choice. It's not like they can say, okay, 113 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.079 that's all right. It's a lot like if if somebody 114 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.199 boards an airplane and they're sitting there waiting for the 115 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.120 crew to arrive. The crew comes in and everybody applause, 116 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.399 we can go, and somebody says, oh, they were in 117 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.439 the bar drinking. They've got us stop, go get the 118 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.519 blood tests. We had that happened at Northwest with some 119 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.079 stupid lady comment from the back of the airplane who 120 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.800 said that, and the captain says, we can't leave. And 121 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.000 it's because again, had that plane crashers three survivors. What 122 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.560 are the gonna say, crew is drinking in the bar. 123 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.199 It just you know, thankfully, with two and a half 124 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.959 million people a day that fly Brian, this doesn't happen 125 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:19.480 very often. 126 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:20.319 Indeed it does. 127 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.120 It makes headlines because of how many people were inconvenienced 128 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.800 on that flight. And remember that plane's going somewhere else, 129 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.120 so there's a bunch of people waiting for that plane 130 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.319 to arrive so they can fly it to where they're going. 131 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.199 The ripple effect is always something you mentioned too, Hey, 132 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:35.480 real quick, were already hat of time in this thing, 133 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.600 but I got to ask real quick. Thank god, there's 134 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.240 the bomb sniffing dogs down looking for bags that have 135 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.600 been stowed in the uestowe. Have they trained them to 136 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.680 smell or sniff out lithium batteries because we've talked about 137 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.120 the danger of lithium batteries and stowed luggage before. I'm 138 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.079 just wondering if you have any knowledge on it. 139 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.759 No, I don't believe. We've got our friends, our officers, 140 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.319 the canine officers trained for quite that. I wish they could. 141 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.639 We've got other ways to look to make sure that 142 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.439 they don't make it on board a flight. But remember, 143 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.920 if somebody has a bag at the gate that goes 144 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.759 to the plane, that's always the difference. 145 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.639 Yes, yes, people, forget about that. 146 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.959 Yep, get your liftium batteries out of any checked bag 147 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.480 apause will bring them back.

So Jay apparently 190 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.399 not good news to the Southwest Airline. 191 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.440 Huh. 192 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.519 Yeah, it was a historic week in a bad way. 193 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.279 Two days ago on Tuesday, they for the first time 194 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.080 ever laid off employees seventeen hundred and fifty. In all, 195 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.480 they have over seventy thousand employees, but it was the 196 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.120 first time in the history of Southwest that they've ever 197 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.639 had to lay off a single person. And in the 198 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.360 early days when they only only had four airplanes, they 199 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.200 couldn't meet payroll. Herb Kellerherd, the founder of Southwest, said well, 200 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.000 we're not laying anyone off, so we sold one of 201 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.919 his four airplanes to meet payroll. You have the attacks 202 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.039 of nine to eleven, when a lot of things were 203 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:01.200 happening and all airlines were in essence kind of laying 204 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.519 some people off. Southwest did not even the pandemic when 205 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.720 everybody was getting laid off. Southwest had nineteen percent of 206 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.120 their workforce step forward and say, look, we'll take an 207 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.360 early retirement so the people behind us can enjoy the 208 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.639 career we had. So it's always been an object of pride, rightfully, 209 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.679 so for Southwest to say, look, we take care of 210 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.840 our employees. They come first. But now because of a 211 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.879 lot of asenine management decisions have been taking place over 212 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.159 the last I don't know, ten fifteen years where Southwest 213 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.279 has abandoned what they do best because they want to 214 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:39.679 be like everybody else. It's caused now the need to 215 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.200 constrict as an airline, throttle back and unfortunately lay off 216 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.279 some of their hard working employees, which you just hate 217 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:46.759 to see. 218 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:48.879 Yeah, that is a shame, but. 219 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.120 You know, and I don't suppose anybody will be protesting 220 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.240 in the streets and shedding the tier over the loss 221 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.960 of any of those Southwest employees. 222 00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.720 The federal. 223 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.879 When I put some on Facebook, and I did this 224 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.600 because of my sister, I put on there what's that 225 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.120 was going on the Southwest in the layoffs and said, 226 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.360 do not association this was tariffs. Don't use it as 227 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.320 some talking point to try to make a point on 228 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.240 the current administration. This is something that's been in the work, 229 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.080 yes for over a decade, and it's because they had 230 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.639 a change in leadership and they had people that said, oh, 231 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.519 we need to fly to LaGuardia, we need to fly 232 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.279 and increase our presence in Atlanta and go to these 233 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.200 airports that have such issues with congestion that instead of 234 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.360 us using that silver revenue tube five segments a day, 235 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.399 they can now only use it three and four because 236 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.120 you're now flying into these areas where it's impossible to 237 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.440 turn that airplane quickly. So yes, now Southwest is like 238 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.919 everybody else. And when you have nine hundred airplanes and 239 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:54.600 you can get an extra segment, another segment of profit 240 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.399 from every aircraft every day, it adds up big time. 241 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.679 And that's one of the reasons that for decades Southwest, 242 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.919 when nobody was making a profit, they continue to make 243 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.399 money year after year after year. They were the airline 244 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.879 of the year. They were the airline that everyone on 245 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.360 the planet wanted to be like. They were doing so 246 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.840 many things great, and then, like so many businesses, let's 247 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.720 try new coke, they decide to pivot and do something 248 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.919 totally in a different direction, trying to be like other 249 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.519 people instead of simply doing what you do best. 250 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.320 Well, let's get this one more in real quick before 251 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:33.559 we get to the break here, we finally have some 252 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:38.480 helicopter traffic changes after the impact in Washington. 253 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.159 Yeah. In fact, the Federal Aviation Administration has been obviously 254 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.960 spending a lot of time reviewing what went wrong in 255 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.639 DC when you had the situation, and then of course 256 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:53.600 we had we've had other situations where we've had helicopters 257 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:58.080 in near proximity to active airports, and the FA is 258 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.639 noticing several airports acluding Boston, New York, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, 259 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.279 and others that have helicopter traffic that is in the 260 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.879 near proximity to the airport, and they're already making changes because, 261 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.159 as you and I've talked about for years, anytime there's 262 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:17.360 an accident, the main goal is to honor the lives 263 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.559 of those that were lost by trying to make things 264 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.080 safer so that we can prevent that kind of tragedy 265 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.360 in the future. And there's a lot of attention right 266 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.720 now in Las Vegas because there's a lot of helicopter 267 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.080 tours around the Las Vegas area, and what they're trying 268 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.840 to do is make sure that they don't have a 269 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.039 situation where you're going to have these helicopters operating too 270 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:38.799 close to the active either military and or commercial air traffic. 271 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.559 So they're using artificial intelligence and other types of technology 272 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.960 to a identify and then to make the changes that 273 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.879 they need to make. And I'm really I'm glad to 274 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.159 see it, but Brian it it's one of those things again, 275 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.200 Why did it take a loss of life for these 276 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:57.320 things to be done? 277 00:13:58.480 --> 00:13:58.639 New? 278 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.080 For years, the number of these occurrences were on the increase. Well, 279 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:08.039 nothing's happened, so I guess we're okay. And that's a deadly, deadly, deadly, 280 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.200 you know, standpoint for people to take and sadly in 281 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.080 aviation that tends to be what happens. 282 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:13.879 It sure is. 283 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.840 It's just still scratching my head over how that could 284 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.799 have possibly happened. 285 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:17.639 I'll tell you what. 286 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:21.720 We'll bring Jay Ratliff back for learn about Apparently Frontier 287 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:26.120 Airlines Jet made a mistake and hub delays. Of course 288 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.320 we always end on hub delays. One more with Jay, 289 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:29.600 just stick around me right back. 290 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.240 Fifty five KRC is your one more time with the 291 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:34.000 Gen nine weather. 292 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.039 It's going to be partly to mostly thy pop up 293 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.799 storms after two PM possible seventy nine for the high 294 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.320 fifty nine over night with an isolated storm possible. Rain 295 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.919 in the morning possible, and then a chance of storms 296 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.279 and showers later in the afternoon and evening. Seventy nine 297 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.399 for the high tomorrow then spotting rain overnight with a 298 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.240 high of sixty five on Saturday and mostly thody skies 299 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.000 sixty degrees right now, time for final traffic from the. 300 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.080 UC Transic Centery.

In the meantime, one 317 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.720 more segment here with iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. So, 318 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.159 what happened with the Frontier Airlines jet. 319 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.519 It was in Seattle, it was taxing for takeoffs on 320 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:58.679 a taxiway in the plane broke down. 321 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.559 Oh wow, got stuck. 322 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.559 So you're now at a point where it can't go anywhere. 323 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.480 You have other airplanes lined up behind them. They can't 324 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.519 go around, they can't turn around. You need to if 325 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.600 if you know them initially that it's gonna be a while, 326 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.600 you would bring out tugs to kind of move the 327 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.879 airplanes around as you need them. 328 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.200 Yeah. 329 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:22.960 The problem is you think it's gonna get fixed pretty soon. 330 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.960 It's like a weather situation. We call them creeping delays, 331 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.840 where it's gonna be a minimal delay. Well, here's thirty minutes, 332 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:30.759 Well it shouldn't be much longer. Now it's an hour. 333 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.559 We had flights out there delayed more than two hours 334 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.639 because of this jet, and it was just, you know, 335 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.559 with all the flights we have in the course of 336 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.679 the day, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. No injuries, 337 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.559 but you talk about the aggravation factor. I mean, you've 338 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.120 got passengers going nowhere that are stuck on a plane, 339 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:54.120 and since you're on an active taxiway, the rules are 340 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.720 specifically you can't get up and use the laboratory. Now, 341 00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.600 in a situation like this, it's gonna be up to 342 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.600 the cap discretion, even though by the book, you're on 343 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.119 an active taxiway and nobody's supposed to get out of 344 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:10.119 their seats. But obviously if you're stuck, they probably gave 345 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.279 them some relief there. But you're not going anywhere, And 346 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.759 I mean maybe your flight's only an hour and a 347 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.680 half and you spend two hours on the aircraft. 348 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.200 Yeah, but wait a second, I'm more intrigued than puzzled 349 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.240 by was this a single engine craft or something? 350 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.079 I mean, how does an airplane just break down? 351 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:31.160 Well, I'm anxious to see the report on that, but 352 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.599 they had to put out an alert at the airport 353 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.359 telling everybody on the traffic part to expect delays with 354 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.039 that particular airport. So, yeah, it was a aircraft that 355 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.720 well relatively knew, I think was delivered in twenty eighteen 356 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.279 or so. But it's just amazing when you have one 357 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:56.000 airplane that traps, if you will, other airplanes. Yes, on 358 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.960 the Texaway and you've seen it when they're all lined up. 359 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.759 I mean, there knows tail nose to tail, nose to tail. 360 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:02.960 It's like a traffic channel. 361 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.480 It was it, and wow, you've got mechanical situations. And 362 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.079 I'll be anxious to see exactly what the extent of 363 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:14.960 that was, because in essence, have two independently operated engines 364 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.960 that you can use. But something prevented that from happening, 365 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:19.799 and that airplane wasn't going anywhere. 366 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.000 Yeah, hey, real quick, before we get to hub the lays, 367 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.920 I throw this curve ball light because I saw that 368 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:28.519 China was refusing to accept its delivery of Boeing aircraft. 369 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:32.000 They built those aircraft as the consequence of an order 370 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.319 placed by China or the Chinese airline. How in the 371 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.400 hell can an airline refuse delivery of a product that 372 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:38.759 it promised to pay for. 373 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:45.960 Well, it could be that there was a delivery date provision, 374 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:48.880 a clause in that contract that says, if we get 375 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.640 the aircraft by this date, we will pay it. If not, 376 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.039 we've got the options to do this, this or that. 377 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.720 Blowing planes are arriving late, so they had that opt out. 378 00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.720 But the problem is you may have ordered these four 379 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.680 years ago, so you're not going to say we don't 380 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:04.319 want them to get rid of them kind of thing. 381 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:09.119 But what happens is they refuse them. Like Boeing's going 382 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:13.119 to care. Don't worry. We have seven thousand back order airplanes. 383 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:15.960 We'll give them to another one quickly. And that's when 384 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:19.319 Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers get paid, not until that 385 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:24.079 aircraft is physically delivered. So you absent of a paint job, 386 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.000 although a lot of times the airlines take care of that. Yeah, 387 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.480 anybody's going to take that airplane. So there's a long 388 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.200 line of eager airlines saying, Shina, if you don't want 389 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.599 them to, we will glad look at him and go 390 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:35.000 from there. 391 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.359 And based on our prior conversations, that should have popped 392 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.319 into my head because I have already mentioned that there 393 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:41.599 are is a long, long list of planes that are 394 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:42.559 waiting for delivery. 395 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:44.480 There's a lot of moving parts here. 396 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:46.440 Cars keep up with it. 397 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:50.000 The couple and often parts from the don't use parts 398 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:53.319 bend anyhow, we have on hub delays. What's going on 399 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.279 out there in the world of air travel today jack 400 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:56.440 a lot. 401 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:58.240
