Speaker 2: A thirty on a Friday Eve, always look for this
Speaker 2: moment in time to get to hear from iHeart Needy
Speaker 2: aviation expert Jay rat Lift. Jay, Welcome back to the
Speaker 2: Morning Show, my friend. Always love having you on the show.
Speaker 1: A very very pleasant good morning, my friend, Thank sir.
Speaker 2: In a mixed bag of topics, We're going to start
Speaker 2: with Southwest Airlines. What is all of size policy?
Speaker 1: They have a policy in place.
Speaker 4: They rolled this out a number of years ago where
Speaker 4: there was a lot of things that were taking place
Speaker 4: with regards to people that were large enough that they
Speaker 4: required two seats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the thought is do we charge them? Do
Speaker 1: we not?
Speaker 4: The industry standard is basically, if you need two seats,
Speaker 4: we're gonna have.
Speaker 1: To charge you for two seats.
Speaker 4: That sense, Well, there was a time when they would
Speaker 4: charge you a full fare and then fifty percent for
Speaker 4: the second seat, but with the flights being pulled, they've
Speaker 4: kind of gotten away with away from that. But you know,
Speaker 4: as part of Southwest Airlines cost cutting measures, and Southwest
Speaker 4: Airlines had a policy that said you could actually request
Speaker 4: a refund on that second seat if by the time
Speaker 4: the flight leaves there's at least one empty seat on
Speaker 4: the aircraft. Okay, so you would buy two seats and
Speaker 4: if you would request a refund. Well, now they've kind
Speaker 4: of trimmed that back, saying, well, we used to pre
Speaker 4: board you, We're not gonna do that. Now you're gonna
Speaker 4: have to wait at the gate to see if the
Speaker 4: flight's going to be filled. Then you've got less than
Speaker 4: ninety days after the travel date to request the refund,
Speaker 4: which used to be considerably longer than that. So Southwest
Speaker 4: Airlines is slowly shifting to where the policies for other airlines,
Speaker 4: and they're going to continue this progression, I believe, until
Speaker 4: they're back to the point where if you need two seats,
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to pay for two seats. So it's
Speaker 4: gonna be interesting to see as we progress how fast
Speaker 4: it'll take Southwest to get there. But look, charging for
Speaker 4: check luggage, assigned to seats, premium seating, all of these
Speaker 4: things are you know, putting Southwest in the line with
Speaker 4: how other carriers do things. And this this, you know,
Speaker 4: customer of size policy is going to be something that's
Speaker 4: just going to continue to be the case about that.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, honestly, it makes perfect sense. You've got
Speaker 2: to pay for the second seat, Jay, I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: you're depriving the airline of a revenue source, and I
Speaker 2: get the idea that if there's at least one seat
Speaker 2: open when the plane takes off, that well, refund might
Speaker 2: be in order. But you got to get to that point.
Speaker 2: You've been talking for hell a couple of years about
Speaker 2: how packed the flights have been. They over sell them
Speaker 2: on purpose to make sure they're full. So you know,
Speaker 2: sorry they.
Speaker 4: Do that, because yeah, they do it because you know,
Speaker 4: we don't cancel our reservations and it's a perishable product.
Speaker 4: The minute we shut that door, they've lost the opportunity
Speaker 4: for revenue. So I'm totally okay. If they base the
Speaker 4: overbooking on historical data where every the first Tuesday of
Speaker 4: the month we have eight percent in those shows, we'll
Speaker 4: overbook it to eight percent. You know, those types of things,
Speaker 4: I'm totally okay with. And during the holidays they overbook
Speaker 4: less because they know most people are going to show up.
Speaker 4: But I've had to have those conversations with passengers explaining
Speaker 4: to them that because of their size, they would be
Speaker 4: more comfortable in a seat that would best accommodate them.
Speaker 1: And I would always say.
Speaker 4: You know, your big bone structure is such that these
Speaker 4: seats are getting smaller and smaller. It's difficult for anybody
Speaker 4: to be comfortable on and you know, sadly, you know
Speaker 4: it's going to require you purchasing two seats just so
Speaker 4: that you have enough enough room, and we'll do everything
Speaker 4: we can to accommodate you. But a lot of people
Speaker 4: don't want to spend that extra money. Some people feel
Speaker 4: like you should not penalize me because of my size
Speaker 4: by charging me double. And I've had those conversations where
Speaker 4: people say, you know, you're being discriminatory because of my size,
Speaker 4: and sadly, no, it's a seat issue. We can't put
Speaker 4: you in one seat, it's going to take two, and yes,
Speaker 4: we have to keep the other customers in mind as
Speaker 4: we make these policies. It's a very delicate conversation obviously
Speaker 4: that you're having, but they have to be made. And
Speaker 4: you're not telling anybody this person anything they don't know already.
Speaker 4: So you know, some people are just trying to get
Speaker 4: out of paying for that second seat, and they'll say
Speaker 4: anything they can to try to get.
Speaker 1: Away with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine because it's an expense, but honestly,
Speaker 2: the reason, I mean, one of the reasons that you know,
Speaker 2: you should have to pay for it, and the number
Speaker 2: of seats that are on the airplane, that volume of
Speaker 2: travelers allows them to keep the airfare lower, and therefore
Speaker 2: you can afford to go on because the number of
Speaker 2: people that are providing the airline with profit, you know.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean. And there have been people in Washington,
Speaker 1: DC who said, because.
Speaker 4: We're all getting bigger in size and because the seats
Speaker 4: are getting smaller, we should do a study to show
Speaker 4: how long it takes all of us rather large people
Speaker 4: to get off the plane quickly. Yeah, because if we
Speaker 4: don't get them off in ninety seconds, that means the
Speaker 4: airlines are putting too many seats on the plane, and
Speaker 4: we can force them to make the seats bigger. Never
Speaker 4: going to happen, never, never, never, never going to happen.
Speaker 4: But that's the avenue they try to take. That exit
Speaker 4: ram is not going to work.
Speaker 2: I promise you heard it from Jay Ratlif here the
Speaker 2: fifty five case Morning Show, Never gonna happen eight thirty five.
Speaker 2: Right now we've got more with Jay coming up. They'll
Speaker 2: go away.
Speaker 5: Fifty five car the talk station Cyber attacks and cyber
Speaker 5: Jay Ratlift has he's aigheartmedia aviation expert, and he's on
Speaker 5: the thing about Taresday Morning show every Thursday, beginning at
Speaker 5: a thirty segment number two, Jay Ratlift, My friend, are
Speaker 5: you serious a passenger smoked marijuana on the plane before departure?
Speaker 2: Kind of moron is this guy?
Speaker 1: Well, I was a United flight. I think they were
Speaker 1: coming out of Cancun.
Speaker 4: They're in the boarding process, the passengers in the forward
Speaker 4: laboratory up near the boarding door and also next to
Speaker 4: the cockpit. The flight crews in there, the pilots going
Speaker 4: through their pre flight briefing, going through everything that they
Speaker 4: need to go through before departure, and this somebody's just
Speaker 4: smoking away marijuana in that forward laboratory. Well, they leave,
Speaker 4: and of course that secondhand smoke goes where everywhere, including
Speaker 4: into the cockpit. So the pilot comes on board and says, look,
Speaker 4: we had somebody smoking marijuana in the ford laboratory and
Speaker 4: we're not going to be flying this flight.
Speaker 1: Because he said, I've got.
Speaker 4: A long career with the United Airlines that I want
Speaker 4: to keep having and if I'm drug tested when we
Speaker 4: get to Houston on our arrival, I could fail that
Speaker 4: based on the second hand smoke that I was exposed to,
Speaker 4: and he says, I'm not taking that chance, and the
Speaker 4: crew refused to fly.
Speaker 1: So it was.
Speaker 4: It was more a not necessarily an issue of safety
Speaker 4: because I don't feel like they were impaired in any way.
Speaker 4: But frequently for the airline in the FAA, they're pulled
Speaker 4: off of a flight and they're administered random drug tests, right,
Speaker 4: and if he were to fail it, and his response
Speaker 4: was somebody was smoking marijuana in the laboratory, that be like,
Speaker 4: oh right, and it puts his career in jeopardy and
Speaker 4: he says, I'm simply not going to do that based
Speaker 4: on the actions of one person. So again we have
Speaker 4: one person doing something they shouldn't be doing and an
Speaker 4: impact not only that flight, that flight's going to Houston
Speaker 4: to make up another flight going to somewhere else. Now
Speaker 4: you've impacted multiple flights simply.
Speaker 1: By the actions that you've had.
Speaker 4: And uh, yeah, it was unfortunate, and had it been
Speaker 4: a different lavatory, probably wouldn't have gone this way. But
Speaker 4: the yeah, the captain or first officer, I don't know
Speaker 4: which one it was. I suspect it was the first officer,
Speaker 4: but the captain probably went along with it simply wasn't
Speaker 4: wanting to take that chance.
Speaker 2: You know. And Peccolie, what the hell are you doing
Speaker 2: smoking weed inside the airplane lavatory? I mean, even when
Speaker 2: it's on the ground. You're not allowed to smoke on
Speaker 2: an airplane, are you, Jay, You're not supposed to know.
Speaker 4: And this guy might have thought, or gir out of
Speaker 4: who it was, probably thought, well, it's okay to do
Speaker 4: it before I leave. You know, some people are scared
Speaker 4: to death to fly, so the thought is what can
Speaker 4: I do to relax edible, settle down before my flight?
Speaker 2: You know et edible? You know, there are other ways something,
Speaker 2: other ways to get THC in your body without firing
Speaker 2: one up on a plane.
Speaker 4: For some people it's a it's a glass of wine
Speaker 4: or alcohol some kind. But yeah, in this situation, it
Speaker 4: was just you know, you know, this is what the
Speaker 4: captain or the first officer made the call on. And
Speaker 4: I can't blame you know, the crew for being concerned,
Speaker 4: because you know, there are times when airlines, especially when
Speaker 4: they're cutting back and United not doing that now. But
Speaker 4: if they're looking for excuses to get rid of people,
Speaker 4: you don't want to give them one. Corporate America's corporate America.
Speaker 4: So I'm telling you, and I can tell you this,
Speaker 4: the last thing I would want to do is to
Speaker 4: give my employer, you know, a reason to dismiss me,
Speaker 4: right uh with with with ground, And I just know
Speaker 4: that that kind of that kind of cause I don't
Speaker 4: want to give put in their hands for sure. So
Speaker 4: I was not against the decision, although I did feel
Speaker 4: for all the passengers on.
Speaker 2: Board, oh absolutely, without question on that one. Choose Lorazapam. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines got a problem on its hand in terms
Speaker 2: of cash flow. What's going on in this one, Jay Ratlis.
Speaker 4: They just came out of bankruptcy in March, and they
Speaker 4: went through the Chapter eleven bankruptcy, reorganization, leaner and meaner debt, reconsolidation,
Speaker 4: all of that being done. But this week they announced,
Speaker 4: you know, I don't think we've got but maybe a
Speaker 4: year's worth of cash left, and we've got to do something.
Speaker 4: And it was an announcement to their investors, letting them
Speaker 4: know what was going on, as they were trying to
Speaker 4: be as transparent as they could, which was was the good.
Speaker 1: Call, the right thing to do.
Speaker 4: But of course southward excuse me, Spirit, it was back
Speaker 4: in February twenty two. I believe that the merger with
Speaker 4: Frontier was announced, and they were on that path until
Speaker 4: jet Blue stepped in and said, we'll give you more money,
Speaker 4: and that's when again they pushed Frontier to the side,
Speaker 4: went with Jet Blue for a year and a half
Speaker 4: till it was decided that merger wasn't going to be approved,
Speaker 4: and then Spirit went back to Frontier, who said no,
Speaker 4: thank you. And so they're kind of out there.
Speaker 1: On their own.
Speaker 4: They've made a series of unfortunate decisions from a management
Speaker 4: standpoint that's put them in this process. Now they've gone
Speaker 4: to premium seats and trying to do things that are
Speaker 4: going to make them more profitable. But Brian All, this
Speaker 4: is coming at a time when we're seeing a slight
Speaker 4: reduction in the demand for leisure travel. So they've got
Speaker 4: all kinds of headwind here and it's really creating some issues.
Speaker 4: So you know, they're telling their investors and obviously their
Speaker 4: stock dropped like fifty percent when that announcement came out
Speaker 4: because a lot of people said, oh, you know, there's
Speaker 4: a chance that they're going to go to business now.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that listen to us across
Speaker 4: the country, and many of them have reservations future reservations
Speaker 4: on Spirit. I would not be panicked at this point
Speaker 4: if I'm flying over the holidays or certainly beginning of
Speaker 4: next year. Now, obviously they're going to continue to kind
Speaker 4: of reduce their footprint from the standpoint of a flight
Speaker 4: scheduling point, so you may see future flights that are changed,
Speaker 4: could be canceled, all these kinds of things that may
Speaker 4: or may not happen. If I'm making a future reservation
Speaker 4: down the road on Spirit, I would be concerned because
Speaker 4: you just don't know what's going to happen. And with
Speaker 4: those kinds of unknowns, not only are you worried about
Speaker 4: the airline but the employees, because the message that sends
Speaker 4: to the employees is, you know, we don't know if
Speaker 4: we can pay in a year, right, So okay, if
Speaker 4: I'm a pilot mechanic, if I'm a flight attendant, exactly,
Speaker 4: so what kind of operational impact will it have when
Speaker 4: they start losing employees. So You've got all kinds of
Speaker 4: moving parts here. And fortunately, none of this news is
Speaker 4: good for either Spirit employees or investors or passengers, and
Speaker 4: it's really unfortunate that they didn't merge with Frontier. When
Speaker 4: that news came out three years ago, I said, this
Speaker 4: is perfect. Their route maps complement each other perfectly. This
Speaker 4: is going to make him a mini mega low cost
Speaker 4: carrier juggernaut, and it's really going to be a good combination.
Speaker 4: But they blew it when they went with Spirit because
Speaker 4: or Jet Blue because they thought Jet Blue would pay
Speaker 4: more money. But their route maps were not consistent. They
Speaker 4: didn't compliment each other. A lot of cities and jobs
Speaker 4: are going to be lost in the process, and the
Speaker 4: government said no, this is not best for the consumer.
Speaker 1: And they said no to it.
Speaker 4: Well, they'd have called you were you were me, we
Speaker 4: gotta told me wasn't going to work for that very reason.
Speaker 1: But for some strange reason they didn't call me.
Speaker 2: Well, not me, but definitely I heard me. The avia
Speaker 2: sings very Jay ratlif who will bring back talk about
Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines or rather Southwest Airlines having to issue an
Speaker 2: apology plus a new power charging device edict on Emirates
Speaker 2: plus hub delays. We'll do that next fifty five KRC
Speaker 2: dot Com summer is here right here's your final look
Speaker 2: at the Channel nine weather forecast. Sunny skys today just
Speaker 2: a slight chance of afternoon storms three A to B
Speaker 2: are high to be sticky and muggy overnight down to
Speaker 2: sixty eight. Another hot, sticky day tomorrow with the tiny
Speaker 2: chance of rain eighty nine for the high seventy overnight
Speaker 2: again muggy and sticky, and Saturday of the mundy sticky
Speaker 2: days ninety one for the high. Closing out at seventy three.
Speaker 2: Time for that final traffic got date Chuck from the

Speaker 3: Cruise continue to work with an accident. He's been Fort
Speaker 3: Washington Way in the center lane. That's to the delays
Speaker 3: on northbound seventy five for an extra fifteen minutes from
Speaker 3: Donaldson northbound four to seventy one. Starting to clear out
Speaker 3: a bit from Grand Chuck ingramon fifty five krs the
Speaker 3: talk station on a Friday, even a happy one too.
Speaker 2: You closing out another segment here with IRT Media aviation
Speaker 2: expert Jay Ratliff. Southwest airlines issuing an apology sounds like
Speaker 2: one was well well deserved apology. What happened here with
Speaker 2: this one?
Speaker 4: Jay had two passengers that were flying from New Orleans
Speaker 4: to Orlando. The two women were blind. They were taken
Speaker 4: to the gate of departure. Flight was delayed, delayed so
Speaker 4: much that Southwestern New Orleans had to move the gate.
Speaker 1: They had a gate change, which happens.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, go ahead, I'm sorry, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Can't see this as usual. You're several steps ahead. I mean,
Speaker 4: you're exactly right. They did not make an announce what
Speaker 4: they put on the departure board that there was a
Speaker 4: schedule change. Obviously, if you're visually impaired, you're not gonna
Speaker 4: to see that. So they sat there, set there, set there.
Speaker 4: The original flight was delayed almost five hours. It eventually
Speaker 4: leaves without these two women. They're still in the gate area.
Speaker 4: Somebody finally discovers, Oops, you know these women are here.
Speaker 1: Oops. They were supposed to.
Speaker 4: Be on that flight, and oh no, we didn't put
Speaker 4: them on there. So what happened was they put them
Speaker 4: on a later flight. They apologized. I put that in
Speaker 4: quotes because it was one hundred dollars voucher each they
Speaker 4: got them to their destination. And of course the story
Speaker 4: explodes over social media, as it should have, because you know,
Speaker 4: Southwest dropped the ball right. Anytime we had someone with
Speaker 4: any sort of a special need, we had what was
Speaker 4: called a special service request.
Speaker 1: It's an SSR.
Speaker 4: Let's the ticket counter know what's going on the gate
Speaker 4: as well as the lead flight attendant. Everybody's on the
Speaker 4: same page as what the specific needs are for that
Speaker 4: specific passenger. So either there was not a special service
Speaker 4: report generated that would have notified everybody what was going on,
Speaker 4: or they were notified and just dropped the ball. But look,
Speaker 4: if you and I are working a flight, one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty people are checked in, we get the airplane loaded.
Speaker 1: There's one hundred and forty eight.
Speaker 4: It does not take any time at all for us
Speaker 4: to see, okay, our party of two because a lot
Speaker 4: of times they'll page them through the airport.
Speaker 1: So and so, socially, your flight's preparing to leave.
Speaker 4: We needed you to get to blah blah blah, and
Speaker 4: in that you would see that they were visually impaired.
Speaker 4: Everything would stop. You would go and find those individuals.
Speaker 4: The ball was dropped here at so many different spots
Speaker 4: where they could have saved the day and didn't. You know,
Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons it's really embarrassing for Southwest.
Speaker 4: And they said, you know, they were asked about refunding
Speaker 4: the money. They said, well, you know, we really don't
Speaker 4: need to because you paid for us to get you
Speaker 4: from New Orleans to Orlando, and we did that. You know,
Speaker 4: just you know, sometimes the being counters and the policies
Speaker 4: they put in place are absolutely as nine when it
Speaker 4: comes to how you're supposed to take care of people,
Speaker 4: and had they simply done what was right and done
Speaker 4: something beyond I'm not talking about free flights for life,
Speaker 4: you know, idiotic like that, but just something that would
Speaker 4: be a little bit more compassionate from the standpoint what
Speaker 4: you put these people through. And you know, the airlines'
Speaker 4: mind is what they paid. We got them there a
Speaker 4: little bit later, but no big deal. Yeah, very big deal.
Speaker 4: Because you didn't do what you should have.
Speaker 2: Done exactly, and you do it right. You get a
Speaker 2: lot of goodwill from that. People have respond by saying, well,
Speaker 2: what a wonderful company they handle that matter great.
Speaker 1: Well it is.
Speaker 4: And look, there were times that I was working a flight,
Speaker 4: and we would have a passenger that was blind on
Speaker 4: an incoming flight that was on the wrong flight. I mean,
Speaker 4: we had a fourteen years We had a fourteen year
Speaker 4: old girl that was on a flight Orlando to day.
Speaker 1: And she arrives, she's supposed to be going to Omaha.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: You know, you know, you've got to get a hold
Speaker 4: of the parents and let them know she's okay, and
Speaker 4: all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: And then a lot of times.
Speaker 4: You'll throw an agent on the plane with them to
Speaker 4: take them back to Orlando and to make sure they
Speaker 4: get on these I mean, you're doing all kinds of
Speaker 4: things to apologize, but to kind of shrug your shoulders
Speaker 4: is apparently Southwest Airlines did here.
Speaker 1: No, not what you should have done.
Speaker 2: All right, Emirates restricting the use of power chargers. Do
Speaker 2: this have anything to do with lithium ion batteries or we
Speaker 2: move them past that.
Speaker 1: Oh, it has everything to do with that.
Speaker 4: They're saying as of October first, when you bring a
Speaker 4: battery charger on board the flight, A, you're not allowed
Speaker 4: to use it. B you're not allowed to put it
Speaker 4: in the overhead storage compartment. It has to fit in
Speaker 4: a bag. And put underneath the seat in front of
Speaker 4: you so that if it starts to overheat, we can
Speaker 4: know about it soon and then the flight attendants can
Speaker 4: then become firefighters and put out the fire. If it's
Speaker 4: in the overhead storage compartment, can't do it. We don't
Speaker 4: want you using it on board the flight because of
Speaker 4: what takes place. And I think it was air boussan
Speaker 4: busa n. You can do a Google image search on
Speaker 4: that and you can see what was left of the
Speaker 4: airplane after a lithium battery fire broke out and at
Speaker 4: the gate, thank god, and burn the entire.
Speaker 1: Top of the airplane off. Oh my lord.
Speaker 4: The FAA has said, I think we've had round numbers here,
Speaker 4: maybe off a bit. Forty four instances this year of
Speaker 4: lithium battery issues. Last year was eighty some. These are
Speaker 4: situations that broke out on the plane and they're increasing
Speaker 4: in number, and we know it's an issue. Airlines are
Speaker 4: are waiting for some sort of industry you know, decision.
Speaker 4: It's not being made. So we're seeing Emirates and we're
Speaker 4: seeing a lot of other airlines around the world, including
Speaker 4: here in the United States, take precautions saying we've got
Speaker 4: to restrict these in one fashion or another because they're
Speaker 4: bringing on electronic devices that are powered by these lithium
Speaker 4: batteries and it's creating problems.
Speaker 1: But Brian, the biggest issue we've talked about this.
Speaker 4: Is people in the gate area that are encouraged to
Speaker 4: give up their check luggage and a lot of times
Speaker 4: the gate agent as they quickly take it, and there's
Speaker 4: a lot of things going on. Jivinty items in here, electronics, No,
Speaker 4: I don't have anything in there, and off it goes
Speaker 4: a toothbrush. It can be several different things that are
Speaker 4: powered by a lithium battery that breaks out in a.
Speaker 1: Fire in the whole cargo compartment right now.
Speaker 4: There are fire suppression systems on these aircraft, but the
Speaker 4: lithium battery fires burn so hot they can't adequately put
Speaker 4: out the fire.
Speaker 1: So this is a big, big, big, big.
Speaker 2: Problems life and death right there.
Speaker 1: But we're not acting like it though.
Speaker 4: And you know what it's gonna take is something happening
Speaker 4: before something is done, and there's no way it should
Speaker 4: go that far.
Speaker 2: That's too much of a risk to let that happen.
Speaker 2: Jay Ratliffe, in the remaining moments, short abbreviated hub delay
Speaker 2: please Charlotte it and.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm really reaching. If I was paid per hub delay,
Speaker 4: I'd be hurting today because I think delays might be
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes there, and other than that, I think it's
Speaker 4: gonna be the best day of the.
Speaker 1: Week to fly.
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time today, Jay Rattler, very interesting. As always,
Speaker 2: I enjoy our exchange. I'll look forward to next Thursday
Speaker 2: and another aviation report. Have a great week, my friend.
