Speaker 1: Hey, thirty three fifty five KRCIT Talk station. Sorry for
Speaker 1: the late starts. I'm always happy to have I heard
Speaker 1: Media Aviation. Next for Jay Ratliff on the program Jay,
Speaker 1: Welcome back, my friend, great to hear.
Speaker 2: From you today.
Speaker 4: Hey, pleasant, good morning.
Speaker 1: Real quick here, I'll just I got your list, but
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a couple of different us.
Speaker 4: Why worry about the list that I spent hours working
Speaker 4: on the talk about this totally different?
Speaker 2: I Uh. First off, I guess.
Speaker 1: The air traffic control system is going to be getting
Speaker 1: a new system. At least it was announced the other day.
Speaker 1: Transtation Secretary Sean Duffy said that looks like they're going
Speaker 1: to have a system, a new system. We've talked about
Speaker 1: needing a new system now for quite some time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: In fact, the three things that kind of like the tricycle,
Speaker 4: if you will, for air traffic control, and the challenges
Speaker 4: for the FAA is one to get that technology in place,
Speaker 4: up and running, and get it as updated as we
Speaker 4: possibly can, especially with the shortage of air traffic controllers,
Speaker 4: which is the second concern for the FAA. If we've
Speaker 4: got better technology, it will allow the people that are
Speaker 4: doing two and three jobs to do that job more efficiently.
Speaker 4: And then third, we've just got the the facilities of
Speaker 4: the airports that are just deteriorating at so many places
Speaker 4: around the country that need assistance as well as far
Speaker 4: as repairs, if it's air traffic control centers, if it's
Speaker 4: airports with runways, terminals, those types of things. So the
Speaker 4: challenge is for aviation moving forward at a time when
Speaker 4: we're looking at the demand for travel doubling in the
Speaker 4: next ten to fifteen years, is I mean, it's daunting.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's going to be a challenge. And that's
Speaker 4: one of the reasons I'm so thrilled that President Trump
Speaker 4: is just not talking about it as so many other
Speaker 4: administrations have done. He's actually saying, look, let's get it done,
Speaker 4: Let's bring in the people they can get it done,
Speaker 4: and let's get moving in that direction as quickly as possible.
Speaker 4: The industry, as I've said so many times Brian, is
Speaker 4: an integral part of the nation's economy and it deserves
Speaker 4: every bit of resources that we can devote in that direction.
Speaker 4: And I'm just thrilled with what I'm seeing, and hopefully
Speaker 4: it'll continue.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, let's pause, bring Jay back, talk about quite
Speaker 1: a few other topics got on the list. Here, Take
Speaker 1: thirty five.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back fifty five, KRC.
Speaker 1: Did you know that for adults sport, Jay Ratliffe, Asin's
Speaker 1: iheartm media aviation expert. We've got quite a few topics. Whoever,
Speaker 1: with Jay Ratliffe this morning, it was kind of funny.
Speaker 1: We don't need to do a dive on inocuse you
Speaker 1: have mentioned the Southwest bag check policy has changed and
Speaker 1: out charge for it. There was a Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: article the other day about it about what people were
Speaker 1: checking in their bags, turkeys, tire rims, kitchen sinks, among others.
Speaker 1: And so the party's over at Southwest, so leave your
Speaker 1: kitchen sink at home. No more free baggage. But what
Speaker 1: we do have on the list to talk about, Jay,
Speaker 1: we talk we.
Speaker 4: Could talk about that because I can tell you employees
Speaker 4: of Southwest are pleased with those new changes as far
Speaker 4: as paying for check bags for just what you mentioned,
Speaker 4: it's going to alleviate some of the massive amount of
Speaker 4: check luggage is people are going to be carrying some
Speaker 4: more things on board and all and going to assigned
Speaker 4: seating means that that open call open seating you know
Speaker 4: Black Friday boarding event you have every time at the
Speaker 4: gate area can be alleviated as well. So you know,
Speaker 4: people that have enjoyed free bags for like the last
Speaker 4: fifty seven years. Yeah, it's kind of come to an end,
Speaker 4: but Southwest needs it to better compete well.
Speaker 2: And number one on your list.
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines had a bit of a problem with a
Speaker 1: passenger the other day, or rather a laptop the other day.
Speaker 1: This is scary stuff, man.
Speaker 4: Well we've talked about these lithium batteries. When they overheat,
Speaker 4: it's an issue. And that's one of the reasons that
Speaker 4: flight attendants, those emergency evacuation specialists that I have the
Speaker 4: highest regard for, are trained when a fire breaks out
Speaker 4: on board an aircraft. And we had a Southwest flight
Speaker 4: that had to land in Reno because they had a
Speaker 4: laptop that overheated started to catch on fire. And it
Speaker 4: was Southwest just a few months ago that in the
Speaker 4: Denver Airport at the gate they had a cell phone
Speaker 4: catch on fire and it filled the cabin with smoke.
Speaker 4: They had several people that were injured. And it's one
Speaker 4: of the reasons that you'll always hear them tell people
Speaker 4: at the airports to not place any of your electronic
Speaker 4: devices inside checked luggage right because it's going to go
Speaker 4: in the cargo facility. We can't access that from the
Speaker 4: aircraft in flight, and the fire suppression systems that we
Speaker 4: have on most modern aircraft are not adequate to put
Speaker 4: out the heat that comes off of these lithium batteries
Speaker 4: to put out the fire. So it Brian. I hope
Speaker 4: one day we don't look back and say, why did
Speaker 4: we ever let any of these things ever on an
Speaker 4: airplane ever? But in the back of your mind you
Speaker 4: think about that because so many times at the gate area,
Speaker 4: and you know how busy things are when you travel,
Speaker 4: and they say, hey, we'll check that bag for you
Speaker 4: and put it, you know, underneath, and then you don't
Speaker 4: have to mess with it in the gate area. Okay,
Speaker 4: take it, and they'll ask you do you have an
Speaker 4: electronic devices in here? And a lot of times, oh no, no,
Speaker 4: I don't have anything in there, And it's not intentional,
Speaker 4: but they forget that they've got things in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got their pens or you know, anything.
Speaker 4: And that's one of the reasons that it's just such
Speaker 4: a scary event because you know, we've had tragically over
Speaker 4: the over the years, airplanes have had fires that have
Speaker 4: erupted in the cargo area. They've not been able to
Speaker 4: be extinguished, and it causes the flight to crash with
Speaker 4: an incredible loss of life. So that's why this is
Speaker 4: such a serious, serious thing. And you know every so
Speaker 4: you know, Southwest has four thousand plays today, so you know,
Speaker 4: the fact that they had this one and then one
Speaker 4: in November or whatever, it doesn't represent, you know, an
Speaker 4: out of controlled trend here, but they are certainly moments
Speaker 4: that we can highlight, not only here but around the
Speaker 4: world where we've had a situation where, look, we had
Speaker 4: an airplane that caught on fire big time and I'm
Speaker 4: trying it was air Bussan or one of the carriers,
Speaker 4: international carriers where they're banning certain battery chargers from even
Speaker 4: being allowed to be brought on board the plane because
Speaker 4: of the fact that you can bring them, but you
Speaker 4: can't plug them in because they tend to overheat and
Speaker 4: cause some problems. So this is going to be an
Speaker 4: ongoing discussion as we move forward, because it's becoming more
Speaker 4: and more of a safety hazard as we have more
Speaker 4: and more people traveling with these things. And remember, as
Speaker 4: more people travel and that growing number continues to expand
Speaker 4: over the next five to ten fifteen years, all we're
Speaker 4: doing is increasing the likelihood of some of these things
Speaker 4: continuing to happen on.
Speaker 1: Board an aircraft, no doubt about it. Well, in terms
Speaker 1: of a laptop catching on fire within the passenger area
Speaker 1: where we're supposed to be, do they have some kind
Speaker 1: of specialized bag or something that can put it in
Speaker 1: do they?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Flight attentts are trained using fire suppression bags and
Speaker 4: other means to make sure of it. And that's one
Speaker 4: of the reasons they say, if your cell phone gets
Speaker 4: lodged into the seat, don't go reaching in for it,
Speaker 4: because sometimes those things tend to overheat, and it's the
Speaker 4: flight attends you need to call for to have you
Speaker 4: be to get the assistance that you need on those
Speaker 4: because again, it's just fran These things are such a scary,
Speaker 4: scary thing. You can't ban every cell phone and every
Speaker 4: electronic device from an aircraft. Obviously we can't go that route,
Speaker 4: But I tell you, it's just it just it's such
Speaker 4: a concern when you see the number of events that
Speaker 4: we have and look, we've got there's YouTube videos out there.
Speaker 4: You can look at that somebody's walking through the airport
Speaker 4: and the backpack totally just suddenly erupts into fire because
Speaker 4: of a laptop battery that overheated that caught the bag
Speaker 4: on fire, and you see how fast these things burn,
Speaker 4: and then you think this is on an aircraft. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you can find space, and it really underscores just how
Speaker 4: serious of a situation this is.
Speaker 1: It's just every time you come on, you give me
Speaker 1: one more reason why I don't feel like it's an airplane.
Speaker 4: Jay, I could, I could bring the good you know,
Speaker 4: the feel good stories. But you and I talk about
Speaker 4: everything and yeah, this is a recent thing.
Speaker 1: And no, you're raising you're you're raising important awareness because
Speaker 1: you know it's that you really need to think when
Speaker 1: you're talking about check bags and the fact that you
Speaker 1: talk about it and you think about the absolute tragedy
Speaker 1: that would happen if you're you forgot.
Speaker 2: So it's a checkpoint.
Speaker 1: Look in the back seat when you get out of
Speaker 1: the car, if you've got toddlers dropped in there. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like you look, make sure you don't have any
Speaker 1: electronic devices in your check luggage.
Speaker 4: It's sound advice, it's pause safe safety reminders.
Speaker 1: Yet for on, everybody's behalf Okay, it's eight forty five,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll talk about some good news for Boeing.
Speaker 1: That's a rare thing occurring, and another viral video is
Speaker 1: shown up about people's conduct at airports. More with Jay
Speaker 1: after these brief words.
Speaker 2: Fifty five car the talk station. Have you asked yourself?
Speaker 2: Does my wealth deserve morey? It's uh.
Speaker 1: Final weather report for the morning. Channel nine says overcast skys,
Speaker 1: maybe a shower in there and a high forty five.
Speaker 1: Clear skies every night twenty eighth to Marros Sunny skies
Speaker 1: in fifty four, clouds return overnight down to forty two,
Speaker 1: and Saturday looking like a cloudy day with a high
Speaker 1: of fifty three but ry closing out of forty seven.
Speaker 2: It is time for final traffic chuck from the UCF
Speaker 2: Tramping Center.
Speaker 3: The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center offers innovative clinical trowns
Speaker 3: and the region's only young onset called a rectal cancer
Speaker 3: and program called five one three, five to eighty five.
Speaker 3: You see Cruise continue to work for the wreck East
Speaker 3: found on the Ranking Highway. It's near Galboy traffic backing
Speaker 3: past Swinton and in Claremont County. Cruise are working with
Speaker 3: the wreck East found on Ohio Pipe. Just before you
Speaker 3: got the nine mile chuck ingram on fifty five PRC
Speaker 3: the talk station, Hey forty.
Speaker 1: Nine, I think about kersee talk station Happy Friday, e
Speaker 1: Tech Friday with Dave had or tomorrow the meantime one
Speaker 1: more segment here with I heard mediaviation expert Jay Ratliff.
Speaker 1: Look at this amazing good news for Boeing. That doesn't
Speaker 1: happen Stock jump ten bucks to share yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and because.
Speaker 4: Japan Airlines said, oh, well, by seventeen or so of
Speaker 4: your aircraft and the Bowing seven thirty seven max. And
Speaker 4: I mean the list price is one hundred and twenty
Speaker 4: some million, they're not gonna be paying that. But it
Speaker 4: was good news for Boeing. But you know, the other
Speaker 4: fascinating read between the line, Boeing news comes from Southwest.
Speaker 4: Southwest is undergoing so many changes right now that you
Speaker 4: and I have talked about. They actually mentioned, you know,
Speaker 4: smaller airplanes might actually come in handy for us in
Speaker 4: some smaller markets. Ooh, now they only fly Boeing. They've
Speaker 4: only ever flown Boeing seven thirty sevens. So what does
Speaker 4: it mean when they say maybe we should go with
Speaker 4: some smaller airplanes. Does that mean smaller Boeing planes or
Speaker 4: does it mean somebody else? So it's going to be
Speaker 4: interesting to see if this may just be Southwest throwing
Speaker 4: out some negotiating employ hats off of them for that,
Speaker 4: or they may say, look, we've got a lot of
Speaker 4: markets that that seven thirty seven aircraft is simply too
Speaker 4: big of an aircraft at one hundred and fifty seeds.
Speaker 4: We need something in the seventy seventy five seat range
Speaker 4: that might work better. So it's going to be fascinating
Speaker 4: as we move forward, because if there's a time that
Speaker 4: we could believe that Southwest is going to deviate from
Speaker 4: what they've been doing for the last five plus decades,
Speaker 4: it would certainly be Now.
Speaker 1: How about that so well smaller aircraft, and it's quite
Speaker 1: a few manufacturers of those smaller aircraft out. There's lots
Speaker 1: of options for Southwest.
Speaker 2: You get two options.
Speaker 4: Either you pull out of the market because the plane's
Speaker 4: too big, or you bring in another type of equipment
Speaker 4: that can better serve and make you more money in
Speaker 4: that smaller market.
Speaker 1: I think they would choose the ladder.
Speaker 4: It is, but then you need different equipment because the
Speaker 4: nice thing about the seven thirty sevens is all the
Speaker 4: ground equipment at every airport is the same. The same
Speaker 4: training for the pilots. Is all of that consistency saves
Speaker 4: you money. And it was one of the brilliant things
Speaker 4: Southwest did early on. But it's like investing. You put
Speaker 4: all your eggs in one basket and things go wrong.
Speaker 4: I mean you're gonna be paying for it.
Speaker 1: Doors start flying off, you know, little things like that.
Speaker 2: We have a.
Speaker 1: Got another viral video video out there.
Speaker 2: What's this one all about?
Speaker 1: Jay?
Speaker 4: Fifty four year old man slying out of dolls gets
Speaker 4: into an argument with the gate agent, and of course
Speaker 4: you do what you do when you get into an argument,
Speaker 4: you hit the guy, knock him out. That's what happened.
Speaker 4: It was a viral video that has just taken off.
Speaker 4: And I mean this, This guy punched the poor employee
Speaker 4: one time and down he went, knocked him totally out.
Speaker 4: Down goes Frasier, hits the floor. The guy has to
Speaker 4: go to the hospital. Well, the man who truck him
Speaker 4: is obviously arrested. He's going to be charged for assault.
Speaker 4: He's going to be fined by the FAA. He may
Speaker 4: find face civil penalties of some kind of if the
Speaker 4: employee attempts to sue. You have a united saying you
Speaker 4: never flying this again, which is all good things, because
Speaker 4: he has to face those consequences and for the next
Speaker 4: five years they'll probably be in court. Brian, My point,
Speaker 4: as it has been so often, is that other airlines
Speaker 4: will not share that information. United won't share it with
Speaker 4: other carriers, meaning this person who's clearly a threat to
Speaker 4: not only employees but other passengers, could be allowed to
Speaker 4: fly on Delta Southwest American just go right down the list.
Speaker 4: Because airlines do not share the list of passengers they
Speaker 4: ban who've assaulted crew members or passengers, and they've been
Speaker 4: asked in the past to do it. And as we've
Speaker 4: talked so many times before, these airlines say, the cost
Speaker 4: to initiate this list and to maintain this list is
Speaker 4: just it's just, you know, it's a cost issue. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And you can't throw them on the tear watch list
Speaker 4: because that's a completely different animal. But don't, as a
Speaker 4: CEO of an airline go running to a podium screaming
Speaker 4: about how employees are your number one thing and passengers
Speaker 4: are your number because that's a bunch of crap, because
Speaker 4: if they were, you wouldn't let somebody like this fifty
Speaker 4: four year old ever board one of your airplanes after
Speaker 4: they have physically assaulted, clearly on video, an airline employee.
Speaker 4: I just it just bothers me, and it just continues
Speaker 4: to bother me because we've got to do a better
Speaker 4: job of protecting those airline employees.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: There's such a loss of civilitian society these days, and
Speaker 1: the idea that anybody would think it, under any circumstance
Speaker 1: appropriate to punch someone whose job is nerely to help
Speaker 1: get you on and off an airplane. Anyhow, Well, all right, well,
Speaker 1: as we always do, we'll close on hub delays. How's
Speaker 1: it looking out there for travel today?
Speaker 2: Jay? You know, be good, O.
Speaker 4: Little snow in Chicago and March discussion can come up.
Speaker 4: We can talk about that. That's going to slow things down.
Speaker 4: And then the Detroit I think those are going to
Speaker 4: be the two problem children of the day. Might have
Speaker 4: late degas who's in Charlotte, but I think those are
Speaker 4: going to be minor so other than Detroit and Chicago,
Speaker 4: which I think they'll handle those delays. Okay, should be
Speaker 4: a pretty good dat to fly.
Speaker 1: Sounds great, Jay, Radlffe. Always enjoy having you on the program,
Speaker 1: appreciate our conversations, and I'll look forward to doing it
Speaker 1: again next Thursday.
Speaker 4: Imagine how much fun's gonna happen between now and then.
