Speaker 2: Picked about the CAIRCD talk station always love this time
Speaker 2: of week eight thirty every every Thursday the fifty About
Speaker 2: Karac Morning Show. We get the benefit of hearing from
Speaker 2: iHeart Meatia aviation expert Jay Ratlift Jay. Happy new year
Speaker 2: to you, Welcome back to the morning show, and a new.
Speaker 5: Year to speak to my good friend Brian. I'm looking
Speaker 5: forward to it. Imagine the fun we're going to have
Speaker 5: this year.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a great time every week, regardless of what
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Real quick here, because as I always
Speaker 2: like to point out, you do trade stocks, and it's
Speaker 2: your primary source of income, and you do a good
Speaker 2: job of it, and you trade other I trade other
Speaker 2: people how to do it, your method? But what the
Speaker 2: hell happened to tech stocks yesterday? You read flagged me
Speaker 2: and told me that a lot of them drop by
Speaker 2: like fifty percent.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Navidia CEO came out talking about the timeline
Speaker 5: for a lot of the next wave, if you will,
Speaker 5: some of the IT type technology, and it was considerably
Speaker 5: longer than what a lot of people thought. And the
Speaker 5: tech industry had been pushing up and up and up
Speaker 5: during the excitement of everything. And when that came out,
Speaker 5: you had some stocks that were priced at you know,
Speaker 5: twenty dollars fifteen dollars five dropping forty and fifty percent yesterday,
Speaker 5: And it was an absolute, just a bloodbath when you
Speaker 5: saw these tech stocks taking the beating that they did.
Speaker 5: The overall market was down just a little bit. But
Speaker 5: you know, you're right. As far as me teaching students,
Speaker 5: I've done it for fifteen years. But Brian, trying to
Speaker 5: time the market is stupid. Yeah, when you try to
Speaker 5: time specific stocks as we do, as Warren Buffett does
Speaker 5: and everybody else, and you can hit an eighty percent
Speaker 5: batting average, Yeah, there's a lot of money to be made.
Speaker 5: So I felt really bad for the long term by
Speaker 5: holding prey investors that were holding a significant chunk of
Speaker 5: these tech stocks because before they knew what happened, that
Speaker 5: part of their portfolio was taking an absolute beating, and
Speaker 5: I hated to see it. But it's the other reminder
Speaker 5: of why you know, I'll hold a stock for fifteen
Speaker 5: or twenty minutes versus ten or twenty years because you
Speaker 5: simply don't know what's coming, and that's the best way
Speaker 5: to protect your portfolio.
Speaker 2: Enough sound advice.
Speaker 1: Moving over to aviation, and.
Speaker 5: I will add a ps, Brian, if I may in
Speaker 5: five days of trading my portfolio is up twenty percent,
Speaker 5: So I kind of like my approach versus what the
Speaker 5: long term by holding pray stuff is because this could
Speaker 5: be a tough year with that battle of inflation and
Speaker 5: everything else.
Speaker 3: I'm still yet to.
Speaker 1: Lick well, you know, it's actually I just glad you
Speaker 1: brought that up.
Speaker 2: Not to take this part of the conversation too long,
Speaker 2: but did you train Senator Ron Wyden, Representative Morgan M. Gravy,
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, Representative Thomas Susie, Representative Kathy Manning, or Seth
Speaker 2: Molten or Tina Smith and your methodology, because those members
Speaker 2: of Congress and the senators, their portfolios went up by
Speaker 2: let's see, Senator Ron Wyden one hundred and twenty three percent,
Speaker 2: Morgan McGarvey one hundred and five percent, Nancy.
Speaker 3: Flower how long of a period of time? Any year?
Speaker 2: Last year?
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, they they.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't have been mine because they might go lot more
Speaker 5: than Heck no, I would not trade it. They would
Speaker 5: have to contact me through an alias to get my help.
Speaker 2: Brother, figure that we're working off insider information that the
Speaker 2: likes of.
Speaker 3: You and illegal. You should go to jail for that.
Speaker 2: I know that's the only reason I bring it up
Speaker 2: because that's exactly my conclusion. All right, what is what
Speaker 2: these guys that were found dead on that Jet Blues
Speaker 2: airplane they were up in the wheel well.
Speaker 5: They were and this happens from time to time. It
Speaker 5: was a couple of weeks ago that we had a
Speaker 5: United Airlines flight from Chicago, Chicago to Maui. Flight lands
Speaker 5: in Maui, they found someone who died in that wheel well.
Speaker 5: So it's like, how in the world is somebody able
Speaker 5: to stroll across the tarmac in Chicago's O'Hare Airport or
Speaker 5: JFK's airport in New York totally undetected and able to
Speaker 5: crawl up in a wheel well, which you know when
Speaker 5: you try to do that stunt, the fatality rates like
Speaker 5: seventy eight percent.
Speaker 3: It's like a suicide mission.
Speaker 5: You're either going to get crushed because there's not enough room,
Speaker 5: or you're going to die of hypothermia when the temperature
Speaker 5: drops to fifty sixty seven degrees below zero during the
Speaker 5: course of that flight and the unpressurized part of the aircraft.
Speaker 3: But what we're finding.
Speaker 5: Out on the Jet Blue situation was it may not
Speaker 5: have been a JFK situation. Because brand apparently these bodies
Speaker 5: had been decomposed to the point that they may have
Speaker 5: been on there for several days lights leading up to that.
Speaker 5: And I've had a few Jet Blue pilots that have
Speaker 5: reached out to me saying, Jay, I understand that when
Speaker 5: we do our walk around, there's a part of that
Speaker 5: landing gear flap that closes that when we do our
Speaker 5: walk around, we can't see back up in there, So
Speaker 5: it would require a mechanic with a large ladder to
Speaker 5: be up there doing an inspection on a specific system
Speaker 5: that would cause them to be up there to determine
Speaker 5: that somebody was in that particular part of the aircraft.
Speaker 5: So it's not like we miss it when we do
Speaker 5: our walk bys because we simply can't see that with
Speaker 5: the way that that type of aircraft has part of
Speaker 5: the landing gear door closed when the gear is deployed,
Speaker 5: So you know, it's not a situation where they're missing
Speaker 5: it on the walkaround. But if it was in Jamaica,
Speaker 5: where we're thinking it may have been in Kingston, you know,
Speaker 5: obviously the FAA will go there saying what kind of
Speaker 5: of securities you have in place here to prevent this,
Speaker 5: and ribly There's been times where flights from Africa, flights
Speaker 5: from Europe have come into the United States and they've
Speaker 5: dropped the landing gears to land at Newark or Kennedy
Speaker 5: or wherever, and we have bodies.
Speaker 3: That fall out.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what a lot of people wondering.
Speaker 2: I mean, if they were in there for like that
Speaker 2: three days, the flight went from multiple locations to others,
Speaker 2: there's multiple landings there. I'm surprised that the dead bodies
Speaker 2: weren't shaken out at some point.
Speaker 5: It happens, and it's a horrific event, and you know,
Speaker 5: you feel for obviously the individuals that lost their life,
Speaker 5: and certainly for a lot of them in Africa and
Speaker 5: other places that are trying to flee places where their
Speaker 5: life is literally in danger, so they're willing to put
Speaker 5: their life at risk, with most of them dying in
Speaker 5: the process. But the point is that it represents a
Speaker 5: huge lapse in security because had these individuals been terraced,
Speaker 5: had been individuals intent on inflicting harm that can gain act.
Speaker 5: This isn't Muscle Shows, Alabama, this isn't Evansville, Indiana. We're
Speaker 5: talking about Chicago's hair Airport.
Speaker 3: It's happened in Kennedy. We have the attacks of nine
Speaker 3: to eleven.
Speaker 5: JFK spent one hundred million dollars on a security upgrade
Speaker 5: with you know, motion sensors and closed circuit cameras. And
Speaker 5: in twenty twelve there was a jet scare that broke
Speaker 5: down on the river. He climbed the fence, he walks
Speaker 5: across two active runways, comes up to the terminal, walks
Speaker 5: in a door, and is inside the terminal in his great, big,
Speaker 5: bright yellow flotation device. He's dripping wet head to toe
Speaker 5: and a Delta employee notices em then and then calls
Speaker 5: the police. But that's the first time he was spotted
Speaker 5: after going that entire distance across one of the busiest
Speaker 5: international airports that we have in the country.
Speaker 3: So it's like, what's going on.
Speaker 5: With security if people are still able in Phoenix, in Chicago,
Speaker 5: at any of these other airports, worthy're able to access
Speaker 5: these aircraft and can't continue to happen.
Speaker 2: Well, we got another jet Blue to the story to
Speaker 2: talk about, plus the latest on the Korean plane crash
Speaker 2: among other topics with Jay Rattle. If we'll return after
Speaker 2: these brief.
Speaker 1: Words, fifty five KARC.
Speaker 2: The Great American air For my buddy, I find five
Speaker 2: KRCD talk station Brian Thomas with I heart meeting Aviation.
Speaker 2: Next for Jay Rattler, sticking with Jet Blue and in
Speaker 2: the category of idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
Speaker 2: What's the story with his passenger opening up a plane
Speaker 2: door while it's taxing.
Speaker 5: Well, the planes in Boston, you have passengers that are
Speaker 5: in such a good mood, Brian. They're leaving that winter weather,
Speaker 5: headed for San Juan, Puerto Rico, beautiful weather, a lot
Speaker 5: of food, a lot of fun, and they're taxing for
Speaker 5: takeoff and just looking forward to the flight and getting there.
Speaker 5: When you have a boyfriend and girlfriend that are sitting
Speaker 5: there and the girlfriend start starting to get text at
Speaker 5: the boyfriend wants to see who it's from. She won't
Speaker 5: show him, so he gets mad and says, I'll show you.
Speaker 5: He gets up, walks over to the emergency exit, opens
Speaker 5: up the door. Now the airplane's not pressurized, they've not
Speaker 5: taken off, and all of the emergency slides are engaged.
Speaker 5: So he opens up the exit, opens the door and boom,
Speaker 5: it's deployed. Nobody can stop him in time, and all
Speaker 5: of a sudden, the plane comes to a stop, every
Speaker 5: passenger is impacted by at least an hour and a half.
Speaker 5: It takes, normally from a mechanic standpoint, to replace one
Speaker 5: of these slides once they've been deployed. And you have
Speaker 5: one individual that's impacting that flight, and not only that,
Speaker 5: with the flight getting into later into San Juan, if
Speaker 5: the crew had a specific amount of time for the rest,
Speaker 5: that means the originating flight to the next day is
Speaker 5: also delayed, plus any other flight that aircraft is scheduled
Speaker 5: for on that day. So you have one individual impacting
Speaker 5: the lives of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people because,
Speaker 5: as you mentioned, acting like an idiot. And I suspect
Speaker 5: that Jet Blue will a ban this individual obviously from
Speaker 5: flying Jet Blue for life. They will send him a
Speaker 5: bill for the maintenance that was required to replace the slide,
Speaker 5: and passengers on board could certainly sue him in civil
Speaker 5: court if there were certain things they missed, like a wedding,
Speaker 5: someone they're trying to reach before they passed, those kinds
Speaker 5: of things because of the actions of one single person.
Speaker 5: And I tell you it's a shame nobody tackled him
Speaker 5: on the way to the door, because that's really the
Speaker 5: only way you could have prevented this. But you know,
Speaker 5: the flight intends will tell you to sit down, sit down,
Speaker 5: sit down, And they don't think you're going to walk
Speaker 5: over and grab the handle of the emergency exit and give.
Speaker 3: It a pull.
Speaker 2: Well exactly, And you know, going to your point about
Speaker 2: you wish someone had tackle them. That never wouldn't even
Speaker 2: have crossed my mind, because.
Speaker 5: Across my mind, I can tell you that because I'm
Speaker 5: thinking this guy's about to delay our flight big time.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that he would actually open the damn door.
Speaker 2: You know, I see a guy walking toward the door
Speaker 2: while it's taxing, and I just wouldn't what kind of
Speaker 2: moron would even consider doing something like that. But you
Speaker 2: do live in a world filled with morons, all right.
Speaker 2: The Korean plane crash. What's going on with this one?
Speaker 3: The black boxes?
Speaker 5: I'm really interested to hear Brian, because of course there's
Speaker 5: a lot to this particular emergency situation where that plane crash.
Speaker 5: We lost one hundred and seventy nine lives, two peoples,
Speaker 5: the two crew members that were at the back of
Speaker 5: the airplane.
Speaker 3: But we're trying to figure out why in the world.
Speaker 5: The crew didn't deploy the landing gear because when you
Speaker 5: are making an emergency landing like this, apparently on one engine,
Speaker 5: you would lower the landing gear so that you at
Speaker 5: least have the ability to control the breaking of the
Speaker 5: aircraft after it's landed. And for some reason, this airplane
Speaker 5: came in with the landing gear up, not deployed. The flaps,
Speaker 5: which Boeing calls for being set at forty degrees to
Speaker 5: try to give yourself drag when you've got a belly landing,
Speaker 5: also not deployed. And apparently the reverse thrusters that were engaged,
Speaker 5: which is the process you use when you land, was
Speaker 5: done on the engine that may have been the one
Speaker 5: that had the bird impact. So there's just so many
Speaker 5: things there that just don't make sense. And the flight
Speaker 5: data recorder, one of the two black boxes, was damaged.
Speaker 5: It's gone to the National Transportation Safety Board in DC
Speaker 5: to be fixed.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: This past weekend, the South Korean officials were converting the
Speaker 5: cockpit voice recorder that would be recording the voices and
Speaker 5: the alarms and everything going on on the flight deck.
Speaker 5: They were converting that into audio files and they're reviewing
Speaker 5: that now and I suspect that they're going to be
Speaker 5: pretty forthcoming with the investigation, but there have been times
Speaker 5: as impossible as is to believe. And I've been saying
Speaker 5: this since the crash, that Cruis have forgotten to land
Speaker 5: lower the landing gear. Now we don't know if if
Speaker 5: in the because the landing gear, even if you have
Speaker 5: no hydraulics, it's a simple matter of unlocking the three
Speaker 5: landing gears and they're.
Speaker 3: Gravity deployed, they fall, they were locking the position, you're
Speaker 3: good to go.
Speaker 5: You don't need hydraulics for that to take place. So
Speaker 5: the idea that that didn't happen is raising all kinds
Speaker 5: of questions. But that's not what killed everybody.
Speaker 3: What killed everyone was asked, and I why the did you.
Speaker 5: That thing would have stopped at tank and it's at
Speaker 5: the end of the runway, and all it's doing is
Speaker 5: holding up the ils antennas, which at every other airport
Speaker 5: seemingly in the world, that's held up by things that
Speaker 5: break away in the event they're impacted by a ground
Speaker 5: vehicle or aircraft. They're not designed to stop a tank
Speaker 5: like this concrete wall was. And when they hit that,
Speaker 5: game over everybody dies and they shouldn't have.
Speaker 3: We've had so many.
Speaker 5: Belly landings where the aircraft goes and goes and goes,
Speaker 5: it slows to a stop and then everybody gets off
Speaker 5: minimal injuries, if any at all.
Speaker 3: Here we had a situation where the crew brought.
Speaker 5: It down level, they would have just continued you saw
Speaker 5: it going down the runway, yes, breaking apart, wasn't on fire.
Speaker 5: It would have continued to skid as those airplanes are
Speaker 5: designed to do, thankfully to the construction that Airbus and
Speaker 5: Boeing have on these planes, and it would have just
Speaker 5: simply come to a stop and everybody would have got off.
Speaker 5: So we're seeing right now that airports around the world.
Speaker 5: China is leading the way on this, doing a safety
Speaker 5: assessment on all of their airports, making sure that they
Speaker 5: don't have anything at the end of the overrun section
Speaker 5: at the end of a runway that an aircraft could
Speaker 5: impact that could cause this kind of an outcome. And
Speaker 5: you know, the best way for us to honor the
Speaker 5: lives of those that were lost, and this is so
Speaker 5: incredibly tragic, is to make sure that we avoid this
Speaker 5: tide of a situation in the future. And it was
Speaker 5: that wall that was the problem. Now, obviously, if the
Speaker 5: crew forgot to lower the landing gear, or there was
Speaker 5: a mechanical situation, or if one of the pilots experienced
Speaker 5: a medical episode in the middle of this, all of
Speaker 5: that's working against them, and they might have been able
Speaker 5: to stop the aircraft otherwise before it got to that part.
Speaker 5: So there's probably going to be a lot of contributing factors,
Speaker 5: as tends to be the case with most of these
Speaker 5: accident investigations. But as with every one of them, we're
Speaker 5: going to learn and I'm glad to see the South
Speaker 5: Korean officials are not holding everything close to the vest.
Speaker 5: They've asked Boeing to come in and assist the engineers.
Speaker 5: They've asked for the National Transportation Safety Board here from
Speaker 5: the US to come in. They're incorporating a lot of
Speaker 5: different agencies, and I think that probably means that when
Speaker 5: the information starts forthcoming in the next few days on
Speaker 5: what the initial observations are, and again the the investigation
Speaker 5: will go for a year year and a half, we'll
Speaker 5: have a pretty good idea of what some of the
Speaker 5: initial findings are that will be you know, that'll lead
Speaker 5: the investigation. But it couldn't have happened, and that will
Speaker 5: have happened the entire reason, yep I, I could not
Speaker 5: believe my eyes when I saw that. And among the things,
Speaker 5: don't build a tank stopping wall at the end of
Speaker 5: a runway, and don't build a nuclear plant in a
Speaker 5: tsunami zone. Let's pause for a moment. We'll bring Jay
Speaker 5: that lift back.
Speaker 2: We got the latest on Boeing plus hub delays, and
Speaker 2: I suspect there might be some West coast delays. We'll
Speaker 2: hear from Jay on that one in just a second.
Speaker 1: Fifty five car the talk station. I wish i'd gotten treated.
Speaker 2: Haut A forecast twenty three for the high today with
Speaker 2: sunny sky is down at nine overnight with clouds snow
Speaker 2: Tomorrow aum about ten am one to five inches, twenty
Speaker 2: eight degrees overnight low of twenty and on Saturday it'll
Speaker 2: be dry, a higher thirty and partly cloudy, closing out.
Speaker 3: At eight degrees.
Speaker 2: Time for final traffic.
Speaker 4: Probably you see health Tramphic center, you see Health weight

Speaker 4: Tierra see the talk station.
Speaker 2: Hey fifty eight fifty about KIRCD talk station Bryan Thomas
Speaker 2: closing it out with iHeart Media Aviation Expert. We do
Speaker 2: the segment every Thursday at a thirty and I third
Speaker 2: certainly enjoy talking with Jay.
Speaker 3: Jay.
Speaker 2: What is the story latest story on Boeing? Are they
Speaker 2: stepping up efforts, surprise inspections or something.
Speaker 3: How's this working? Yeah, we're coming up.
Speaker 5: In fact, we've passed the one year anniversary of the
Speaker 5: Alaska Airlines door plug thing blowing out, and you and
Speaker 5: I were talking a year ago last week where Boeing
Speaker 5: had sent out a memo saying that some mechanics for
Speaker 5: Airlines had found bolts in nuts that were missing and
Speaker 5: loose on some of the rudder control systems of the
Speaker 5: seven thirty seven and how their airline mechanics maybe should
Speaker 5: keep an eye on that when they're doing their ongoing maintenance.
Speaker 5: So that made us think what in the world's going on?
Speaker 5: And then the door plug happened where it fell off
Speaker 5: the last Airlines flight. Thank god nobody got killed or
Speaker 5: seriously injured. And the FAA has stepped in now saying
Speaker 5: that the oversight that they kicked in after this last
Speaker 5: year has continued. In fact, they've gone on to stress
Speaker 5: that they are stepping up their unannounced inspections, which I
Speaker 5: love because I tell you, anytime that you're working at
Speaker 5: an airport and an FA inspector shows up and announced,
Speaker 5: everything stops and they're there to make sure that everything's
Speaker 5: being done as it should. Now, five years ago we
Speaker 5: were told by the Federal ava's administration they were going
Speaker 5: to be on top of Boeing like never before. We
Speaker 5: had nothing to worry about the craft they had pulled
Speaker 5: previous with the Boeing Max situation, the two plane crashes
Speaker 5: withholding information criminally from the FAA from airlines from pilots
Speaker 5: was a thing of the past. Well, we have found
Speaker 5: over the last five years, with forty some whistleblowers that
Speaker 5: that really hasn't happened. So the FAA is trying to
Speaker 5: make sure that moving forward from this point that they
Speaker 5: are on top of things, and Brian, I really hope
Speaker 5: that they are, because you're talking about matters of safety
Speaker 5: to the point that some Boeing employees won't even get
Speaker 5: on their own airplanes. Now, I think it extreme, but
Speaker 5: it underscores just how concerned a lot of these individuals
Speaker 5: are when in the past, according to the reports, as
Speaker 5: you and I talked about, the airplane would run out
Speaker 5: of parts, and to keep the airplane moving through the
Speaker 5: production line, employees were told to go to the scrap heap,
Speaker 5: pick out the best parts that's failed, bring it back
Speaker 5: and guess it's painted with red paint, but get all
Speaker 5: the red paint off and then put it on the aircraft.
Speaker 5: And a lot of these employees are like, no, I mean,
Speaker 5: that's a failed part. It's in the junk pile for
Speaker 5: a reason. But you know, these are the kind of
Speaker 5: antics that apparently had been going on for a number
Speaker 5: of years, and the FAA is coming out saying that,
Speaker 5: you know, we're going to make sure that this doesn't
Speaker 5: happen again. Boeing when they brought their employees back from
Speaker 5: the strike, they did wait an entire month before they
Speaker 5: resumed operation of the production line to make sure that
Speaker 5: these safety issues were addressed. I like to see that,
Speaker 5: but it's gonna be five years before you're gonna ask
Speaker 5: me if I'm comfortable with war Boeing zat because I
Speaker 5: believed them five years ago. And I look like an
Speaker 5: absolute idiot when I believed them with all their paragraphs
Speaker 5: of promise, because they didn't do a single thing. They talked, Oh,
Speaker 5: they're gonna get rid of the CEO, that's gonna change things.
Speaker 3: No I didn't. Oh we're gonna return to the days
Speaker 3: of old. No they didn't.
Speaker 5: They didn't do a stupid thing, and if anything, they
Speaker 5: got worse. And that's one of the reasons that to me,
Speaker 5: I'm just furious. And obviously I'm hoping the FAA this
Speaker 5: time is serious about doing their job and making sure
Speaker 5: that Boeing is doing theirs.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, as you're saying that, and I approve,
Speaker 2: I guess on some level, appreciate your confidence in the
Speaker 2: FAA's ability to actually do its task properly. But you're
Speaker 2: you're yeah, you're relying on government employees.
Speaker 3: Some of them are really really.
Speaker 5: Good at what they do, and you just don't have
Speaker 5: enough of them. And sometimes in the past, part of
Speaker 5: the certification process that was stamped by a Boeing inspector
Speaker 5: was actually allowed to be done by Boeing employees and
Speaker 5: where they would oh, yeah, that's fine, boom and they
Speaker 5: would just stamp it as okay, certified and it would
Speaker 5: roll through the process without an FA inspector everling eyes
Speaker 5: on the work that was being done.
Speaker 3: Now that is.
Speaker 5: Stopped because we've taken the keys away from Boeing as
Speaker 5: far as calling the shots on that. But I mean,
Speaker 5: there's so many different indications where you know, the traveling
Speaker 5: public simply is still not comfortable with Boeing. I've gotten
Speaker 5: emails for the last year from individuals all over the
Speaker 5: country that are traveling saying, Jay, I'm going to be
Speaker 5: looking for air bus s iteneraries or bombardier or some
Speaker 5: other type of equipment because I'm not comfortable flying Boeing.
Speaker 5: Now again, I think that's extreme. When Cherry and I fly,
Speaker 5: if it's a Boeing aircraft, we jump on. But that's
Speaker 5: not to say that I'm not slightly concerned because some
Speaker 5: of these things that allowed to happen, and the concern is,
Speaker 5: are any of these failed parts on these airplanes I'm boarding.
Speaker 5: So yeah, obviously I'm a little bit concerned.
Speaker 2: As we go, fair enough, I would expect some flight
Speaker 2: delays on the West coast. What's the story on the
Speaker 2: flight situation today?
Speaker 5: We are seeing impact into Lax just a bit, But Brian,
Speaker 5: the real problem children of the day are going to
Speaker 5: be Dallas and Houston. Especially Dallas. We're seeing some icing
Speaker 5: and some rain that's going to be coming through in
Speaker 5: snow that are going to be impacting the areas of Dallas,
Speaker 5: and that's going to be the one impacted the most.
Speaker 5: Houston's also with United Airlines going to see some issues
Speaker 5: as they storm system a violent one pushes up through there.
Speaker 5: If you're flying American airlines today, get to the airport early.
Speaker 5: They may do what's called an online reroute where you
Speaker 5: may be scheduled to fly through Dallas and they say, hey,
Speaker 5: we can get you to your destination through Chicago or
Speaker 5: through another American hub to avoid that mess. So getting
Speaker 5: to the airport extra early can certainly work to your
Speaker 5: advantage because Dallas is going to be an area that
