I'm looking 27 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.400 forward to it. Imagine the fun we're going to have 28 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:20.879 this year. 29 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.239 Oh, it's a great time every week, regardless of what 30 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.359 we're talking about. Real quick here, because as I always 31 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.599 like to point out, you do trade stocks, and it's 32 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.159 your primary source of income, and you do a good 33 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:31.959 job of it, and you trade other I trade other 34 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.319 people how to do it, your method? But what the 35 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.640 hell happened to tech stocks yesterday? You read flagged me 36 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.159 and told me that a lot of them drop by 37 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:39.040 like fifty percent. 38 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:43.840 Yeah, the Navidia CEO came out talking about the timeline 39 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.879 for a lot of the next wave, if you will, 40 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.599 some of the IT type technology, and it was considerably 41 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.760 longer than what a lot of people thought. And the 42 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.280 tech industry had been pushing up and up and up 43 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.239 during the excitement of everything. And when that came out, 44 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.680 you had some stocks that were priced at you know, 45 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.200 twenty dollars fifteen dollars five dropping forty and fifty percent yesterday, 46 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.159 And it was an absolute, just a bloodbath when you 47 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.240 saw these tech stocks taking the beating that they did. 48 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.919 The overall market was down just a little bit. But 49 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.919 you know, you're right. As far as me teaching students, 50 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.919 I've done it for fifteen years. But Brian, trying to 51 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.599 time the market is stupid. Yeah, when you try to 52 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.680 time specific stocks as we do, as Warren Buffett does 53 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.159 and everybody else, and you can hit an eighty percent 54 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.199 batting average, Yeah, there's a lot of money to be made. 55 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.360 So I felt really bad for the long term by 56 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.000 holding prey investors that were holding a significant chunk of 57 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.439 these tech stocks because before they knew what happened, that 58 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.039 part of their portfolio was taking an absolute beating, and 59 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.680 I hated to see it. But it's the other reminder 60 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.719 of why you know, I'll hold a stock for fifteen 61 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.479 or twenty minutes versus ten or twenty years because you 62 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.960 simply don't know what's coming, and that's the best way 63 00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.120 to protect your portfolio. 64 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:00.879 Enough sound advice. 65 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.439 Moving over to aviation, and. 66 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.520 I will add a ps, Brian, if I may in 67 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.240 five days of trading my portfolio is up twenty percent, 68 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.560 So I kind of like my approach versus what the 69 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.120 long term by holding pray stuff is because this could 70 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.080 be a tough year with that battle of inflation and 71 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:15.599 everything else. 72 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:16.400 I'm still yet to. 73 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.319 Lick well, you know, it's actually I just glad you 74 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:18.879 brought that up. 75 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.919 Not to take this part of the conversation too long, 76 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.759 but did you train Senator Ron Wyden, Representative Morgan M. Gravy, 77 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.719 Nancy Pelosi, Representative Thomas Susie, Representative Kathy Manning, or Seth 78 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.919 Molten or Tina Smith and your methodology, because those members 79 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:38.199 of Congress and the senators, their portfolios went up by 80 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.039 let's see, Senator Ron Wyden one hundred and twenty three percent, 81 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.520 Morgan McGarvey one hundred and five percent, Nancy. 82 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.039 Flower how long of a period of time? Any year? 83 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:48.879 Last year? 84 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.240 Oh no, no, no, they they. 85 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.319 Wouldn't have been mine because they might go lot more 86 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.520 than Heck no, I would not trade it. They would 87 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.400 have to contact me through an alias to get my help. 88 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.759 Brother, figure that we're working off insider information that the 89 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:03.240 likes of. 90 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.520 You and illegal. You should go to jail for that. 91 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.960 I know that's the only reason I bring it up 92 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.000 because that's exactly my conclusion. All right, what is what 93 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.879 these guys that were found dead on that Jet Blues 94 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.560 airplane they were up in the wheel well. 95 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.079 They were and this happens from time to time. It 96 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.480 was a couple of weeks ago that we had a 97 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.600 United Airlines flight from Chicago, Chicago to Maui. Flight lands 98 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.319 in Maui, they found someone who died in that wheel well. 99 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.720 So it's like, how in the world is somebody able 100 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.439 to stroll across the tarmac in Chicago's O'Hare Airport or 101 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:39.879 JFK's airport in New York totally undetected and able to 102 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.160 crawl up in a wheel well, which you know when 103 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.000 you try to do that stunt, the fatality rates like 104 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:45.920 seventy eight percent. 105 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.199 It's like a suicide mission. 106 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.519 You're either going to get crushed because there's not enough room, 107 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.839 or you're going to die of hypothermia when the temperature 108 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.040 drops to fifty sixty seven degrees below zero during the 109 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.279 course of that flight and the unpressurized part of the aircraft. 110 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.439 But what we're finding. 111 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.600 Out on the Jet Blue situation was it may not 112 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.360 have been a JFK situation. Because brand apparently these bodies 113 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.399 had been decomposed to the point that they may have 114 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.120 been on there for several days lights leading up to that. 115 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.560 And I've had a few Jet Blue pilots that have 116 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.480 reached out to me saying, Jay, I understand that when 117 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.720 we do our walk around, there's a part of that 118 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.879 landing gear flap that closes that when we do our 119 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.560 walk around, we can't see back up in there, So 120 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.839 it would require a mechanic with a large ladder to 121 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.000 be up there doing an inspection on a specific system 122 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.600 that would cause them to be up there to determine 123 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.439 that somebody was in that particular part of the aircraft. 124 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.399 So it's not like we miss it when we do 125 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.000 our walk bys because we simply can't see that with 126 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.439 the way that that type of aircraft has part of 127 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.079 the landing gear door closed when the gear is deployed, 128 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.480 So you know, it's not a situation where they're missing 129 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.959 it on the walkaround. But if it was in Jamaica, 130 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.680 where we're thinking it may have been in Kingston, you know, 131 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.680 obviously the FAA will go there saying what kind of 132 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.439 of securities you have in place here to prevent this, 133 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.800 and ribly There's been times where flights from Africa, flights 134 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.639 from Europe have come into the United States and they've 135 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.839 dropped the landing gears to land at Newark or Kennedy 136 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.120 or wherever, and we have bodies. 137 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:14.360 That fall out. 138 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.879 Well, that's what a lot of people wondering. 139 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.279 I mean, if they were in there for like that 140 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.040 three days, the flight went from multiple locations to others, 141 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.319 there's multiple landings there. I'm surprised that the dead bodies 142 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.360 weren't shaken out at some point. 143 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:31.000 It happens, and it's a horrific event, and you know, 144 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.759 you feel for obviously the individuals that lost their life, 145 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.079 and certainly for a lot of them in Africa and 146 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.839 other places that are trying to flee places where their 147 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.279 life is literally in danger, so they're willing to put 148 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.720 their life at risk, with most of them dying in 149 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.040 the process. But the point is that it represents a 150 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.079 huge lapse in security because had these individuals been terraced, 151 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.240 had been individuals intent on inflicting harm that can gain act. 152 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.800 This isn't Muscle Shows, Alabama, this isn't Evansville, Indiana. We're 153 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.480 talking about Chicago's hair Airport. 154 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.720 It's happened in Kennedy. We have the attacks of nine 155 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.079 to eleven. 156 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.360 JFK spent one hundred million dollars on a security upgrade 157 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.319 with you know, motion sensors and closed circuit cameras. And 158 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.040 in twenty twelve there was a jet scare that broke 159 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.959 down on the river. He climbed the fence, he walks 160 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.560 across two active runways, comes up to the terminal, walks 161 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.319 in a door, and is inside the terminal in his great, big, 162 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.560 bright yellow flotation device. He's dripping wet head to toe 163 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.480 and a Delta employee notices em then and then calls 164 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.160 the police. But that's the first time he was spotted 165 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.000 after going that entire distance across one of the busiest 166 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.120 international airports that we have in the country. 167 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.279 So it's like, what's going on. 168 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.959 With security if people are still able in Phoenix, in Chicago, 169 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.000 at any of these other airports, worthy're able to access 170 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.720 these aircraft and can't continue to happen. 171 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.519 Well, we got another jet Blue to the story to 172 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.800 talk about, plus the latest on the Korean plane crash 173 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.000 among other topics with Jay Rattle.

She won't 190 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.360 show him, so he gets mad and says, I'll show you. 191 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.200 He gets up, walks over to the emergency exit, opens 192 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.519 up the door. Now the airplane's not pressurized, they've not 193 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:57.679 taken off, and all of the emergency slides are engaged. 194 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.399 So he opens up the exit, opens the door and boom, 195 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.399 it's deployed. Nobody can stop him in time, and all 196 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.759 of a sudden, the plane comes to a stop, every 197 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.039 passenger is impacted by at least an hour and a half. 198 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.120 It takes, normally from a mechanic standpoint, to replace one 199 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.120 of these slides once they've been deployed. And you have 200 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.639 one individual that's impacting that flight, and not only that, 201 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.480 with the flight getting into later into San Juan, if 202 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.759 the crew had a specific amount of time for the rest, 203 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.919 that means the originating flight to the next day is 204 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.519 also delayed, plus any other flight that aircraft is scheduled 205 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.360 for on that day. So you have one individual impacting 206 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.679 the lives of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people because, 207 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.840 as you mentioned, acting like an idiot. And I suspect 208 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.799 that Jet Blue will a ban this individual obviously from 209 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.639 flying Jet Blue for life. They will send him a 210 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.840 bill for the maintenance that was required to replace the slide, 211 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.320 and passengers on board could certainly sue him in civil 212 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:57.480 court if there were certain things they missed, like a wedding, 213 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.480 someone they're trying to reach before they passed, those kinds 214 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.440 of things because of the actions of one single person. 215 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.159 And I tell you it's a shame nobody tackled him 216 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.639 on the way to the door, because that's really the 217 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.080 only way you could have prevented this. But you know, 218 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.039 the flight intends will tell you to sit down, sit down, 219 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.799 sit down, And they don't think you're going to walk 220 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.480 over and grab the handle of the emergency exit and give. 221 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:19.799 It a pull. 222 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.320 Well exactly, And you know, going to your point about 223 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.840 you wish someone had tackle them. That never wouldn't even 224 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.960 have crossed my mind, because. 225 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.559 Across my mind, I can tell you that because I'm 226 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.759 thinking this guy's about to delay our flight big time. 227 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.519 Well, I mean that he would actually open the damn door. 228 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.000 You know, I see a guy walking toward the door 229 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:39.039 while it's taxing, and I just wouldn't what kind of 230 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.840 moron would even consider doing something like that. But you 231 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.759 do live in a world filled with morons, all right. 232 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.799 The Korean plane crash. What's going on with this one? 233 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.440 The black boxes? 234 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.559 I'm really interested to hear Brian, because of course there's 235 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.480 a lot to this particular emergency situation where that plane crash. 236 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.919 We lost one hundred and seventy nine lives, two peoples, 237 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.200 the two crew members that were at the back of 238 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:02.919 the airplane. 239 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.679 But we're trying to figure out why in the world. 240 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.960 The crew didn't deploy the landing gear because when you 241 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:12.799 are making an emergency landing like this, apparently on one engine, 242 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.200 you would lower the landing gear so that you at 243 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:19.120 least have the ability to control the breaking of the 244 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.120 aircraft after it's landed. And for some reason, this airplane 245 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:27.399 came in with the landing gear up, not deployed. The flaps, 246 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.879 which Boeing calls for being set at forty degrees to 247 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.759 try to give yourself drag when you've got a belly landing, 248 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.039 also not deployed. And apparently the reverse thrusters that were engaged, 249 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.960 which is the process you use when you land, was 250 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.120 done on the engine that may have been the one 251 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.600 that had the bird impact. So there's just so many 252 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.320 things there that just don't make sense. And the flight 253 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.080 data recorder, one of the two black boxes, was damaged. 254 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.840 It's gone to the National Transportation Safety Board in DC 255 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:55.639 to be fixed. 256 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:55.799 Now. 257 00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:01.919 This past weekend, the South Korean officials were converting the 258 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.559 cockpit voice recorder that would be recording the voices and 259 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.639 the alarms and everything going on on the flight deck. 260 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.440 They were converting that into audio files and they're reviewing 261 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.519 that now and I suspect that they're going to be 262 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.679 pretty forthcoming with the investigation, but there have been times 263 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.919 as impossible as is to believe. And I've been saying 264 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.200 this since the crash, that Cruis have forgotten to land 265 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.120 lower the landing gear. Now we don't know if if 266 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.120 in the because the landing gear, even if you have 267 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.240 no hydraulics, it's a simple matter of unlocking the three 268 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.799 landing gears and they're. 269 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.440 Gravity deployed, they fall, they were locking the position, you're 270 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:35.840 good to go. 271 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.720 You don't need hydraulics for that to take place. So 272 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.480 the idea that that didn't happen is raising all kinds 273 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.039 of questions. But that's not what killed everybody. 274 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.120 What killed everyone was asked, and I why the did you. 275 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.919 That thing would have stopped at tank and it's at 276 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.759 the end of the runway, and all it's doing is 277 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.480 holding up the ils antennas, which at every other airport 278 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.039 seemingly in the world, that's held up by things that 279 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.399 break away in the event they're impacted by a ground 280 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.200 vehicle or aircraft. They're not designed to stop a tank 281 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.039 like this concrete wall was. And when they hit that, 282 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.399 game over everybody dies and they shouldn't have. 283 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:14.679 We've had so many. 284 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.960 Belly landings where the aircraft goes and goes and goes, 285 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.879 it slows to a stop and then everybody gets off 286 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.759 minimal injuries, if any at all. 287 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.759 Here we had a situation where the crew brought. 288 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.960 It down level, they would have just continued you saw 289 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.200 it going down the runway, yes, breaking apart, wasn't on fire. 290 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.080 It would have continued to skid as those airplanes are 291 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.480 designed to do, thankfully to the construction that Airbus and 292 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.600 Boeing have on these planes, and it would have just 293 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.519 simply come to a stop and everybody would have got off. 294 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.559 So we're seeing right now that airports around the world. 295 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.919 China is leading the way on this, doing a safety 296 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.000 assessment on all of their airports, making sure that they 297 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.559 don't have anything at the end of the overrun section 298 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.480 at the end of a runway that an aircraft could 299 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.039 impact that could cause this kind of an outcome. And 300 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:01.960 you know, the best way for us to honor the 301 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.759 lives of those that were lost, and this is so 302 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.159 incredibly tragic, is to make sure that we avoid this 303 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.559 tide of a situation in the future. And it was 304 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.600 that wall that was the problem. Now, obviously, if the 305 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.720 crew forgot to lower the landing gear, or there was 306 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.720 a mechanical situation, or if one of the pilots experienced 307 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.080 a medical episode in the middle of this, all of 308 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.799 that's working against them, and they might have been able 309 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.240 to stop the aircraft otherwise before it got to that part. 310 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.639 So there's probably going to be a lot of contributing factors, 311 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.039 as tends to be the case with most of these 312 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.600 accident investigations. But as with every one of them, we're 313 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.279 going to learn and I'm glad to see the South 314 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.600 Korean officials are not holding everything close to the vest. 315 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.600 They've asked Boeing to come in and assist the engineers. 316 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.159 They've asked for the National Transportation Safety Board here from 317 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.919 the US to come in. They're incorporating a lot of 318 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.559 different agencies, and I think that probably means that when 319 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.320 the information starts forthcoming in the next few days on 320 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.679 what the initial observations are, and again the the investigation 321 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.799 will go for a year year and a half, we'll 322 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.600 have a pretty good idea of what some of the 323 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.440 initial findings are that will be you know, that'll lead 324 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.840 the investigation. But it couldn't have happened, and that will 325 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.919 have happened the entire reason, yep I, I could not 326 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:17.519 believe my eyes when I saw that. And among the things, 327 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.240 don't build a tank stopping wall at the end of 328 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.679 a runway, and don't build a nuclear plant in a 329 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.960 tsunami zone. Let's pause for a moment. We'll bring Jay 330 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:24.639 that lift back. 331 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.440 We got the latest on Boeing plus hub delays, and 332 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.080 I suspect there might be some West coast delays. We'll 333 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.639 hear from Jay on that one in just a second. 334 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:38.000 Fifty five car the talk station. I wish i'd gotten treated. 335 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.720 Haut A forecast twenty three for the high today with 336 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.399 sunny sky is down at nine overnight with clouds snow 337 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:46.519 Tomorrow aum about ten am one to five inches, twenty 338 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.639 eight degrees overnight low of twenty and on Saturday it'll 339 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.720 be dry, a higher thirty and partly cloudy, closing out. 340 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.320 At eight degrees. 341 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.320 Time for final traffic. 342 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.080 Probably you see health Tramphic center, you see Health weight 343 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:01.200 Pass Center offers comprehensive Obcitycaren and Van Sergic Co expertise 344 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.159 called five one three nine three nine two two sixty three. 345 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.519 That's nine nine twenty two.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five 351 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.120 Tierra see the talk station. 352 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.679 Hey fifty eight fifty about KIRCD talk station Bryan Thomas 353 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.799 closing it out with iHeart Media Aviation Expert. We do 354 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.840 the segment every Thursday at a thirty and I third 355 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.519 certainly enjoy talking with Jay. 356 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.039 Jay. 357 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.840 What is the story latest story on Boeing? Are they 358 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.080 stepping up efforts, surprise inspections or something. 359 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.480 How's this working? Yeah, we're coming up. 360 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.639 In fact, we've passed the one year anniversary of the 361 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:52.879 Alaska Airlines door plug thing blowing out, and you and 362 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.600 I were talking a year ago last week where Boeing 363 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.879 had sent out a memo saying that some mechanics for 364 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.519 Airlines had found bolts in nuts that were missing and 365 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.640 loose on some of the rudder control systems of the 366 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.319 seven thirty seven and how their airline mechanics maybe should 367 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.920 keep an eye on that when they're doing their ongoing maintenance. 368 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.119 So that made us think what in the world's going on? 369 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.279 And then the door plug happened where it fell off 370 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.319 the last Airlines flight. Thank god nobody got killed or 371 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.400 seriously injured. And the FAA has stepped in now saying 372 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.880 that the oversight that they kicked in after this last 373 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.039 year has continued. In fact, they've gone on to stress 374 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:33.119 that they are stepping up their unannounced inspections, which I 375 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.960 love because I tell you, anytime that you're working at 376 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.680 an airport and an FA inspector shows up and announced, 377 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.119 everything stops and they're there to make sure that everything's 378 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.400 being done as it should. Now, five years ago we 379 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.880 were told by the Federal ava's administration they were going 380 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.839 to be on top of Boeing like never before. We 381 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.440 had nothing to worry about the craft they had pulled 382 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.720 previous with the Boeing Max situation, the two plane crashes 383 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:01.279 withholding information criminally from the FAA from airlines from pilots 384 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.640 was a thing of the past. Well, we have found 385 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.359 over the last five years, with forty some whistleblowers that 386 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.160 that really hasn't happened. So the FAA is trying to 387 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.240 make sure that moving forward from this point that they 388 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.160 are on top of things, and Brian, I really hope 389 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.119 that they are, because you're talking about matters of safety 390 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.799 to the point that some Boeing employees won't even get 391 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.119 on their own airplanes. Now, I think it extreme, but 392 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.599 it underscores just how concerned a lot of these individuals 393 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.599 are when in the past, according to the reports, as 394 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.799 you and I talked about, the airplane would run out 395 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.400 of parts, and to keep the airplane moving through the 396 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.319 production line, employees were told to go to the scrap heap, 397 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.720 pick out the best parts that's failed, bring it back 398 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.039 and guess it's painted with red paint, but get all 399 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.559 the red paint off and then put it on the aircraft. 400 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.880 And a lot of these employees are like, no, I mean, 401 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.519
