They moved the wreck out of the left 18 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.159 lane on the bridge over to the right shoulder just 19 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:54.280 off of the bridge. 20 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:55.880 Traffic's still heavy from before. 21 00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.359 Grand southbound seventy five slows through Lachland chuck Ingraman fifty 22 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.079 five k see the talk station. 23 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.120 Hey thirty no on Thursday. 24 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.000 It's that time when we get the joy and pleasure 25 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.519 talking with iHeart media aviation expert Jay ratlat sadly, and 26 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.359 I know this isn't a curve ball for you, Jay, 27 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.319 because I'm certain you found out and heard about the 28 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.599 plane crash in India and I saw the video and 29 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.400 oh my god, it is just a horror show. Jay, 30 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:25.680 Welcome back to the program. 31 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:26.920 Good morn to Brian. 32 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:27.200 Yeah. 33 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.319 I had a lot of really fun topics in mind 34 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.000 for us to talk about, and that news greeted us 35 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.680 this morning, and it you know, as with every aviation disaster, 36 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.879 it's a situation. 37 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.959 Of okay, what do we know of anything? 38 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.159 And I've been asked throughout the morning to speculate, and 39 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.959 obviously you can't, but you can also draw certain conclusions 40 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.719 and we can certainly do this with the video that's 41 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.799 been verified as the plane crashing. Was the weather, which 42 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.640 sometimes is a contributing cause to aviation disasters, did not 43 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.840 appear to be the case here. The other thing was 44 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.959 that the aircraft did not show any signs of outward distress, 45 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.319 meaning it wasn't on fire, did nothing seem to have 46 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.240 like a bag that would have exploded from the inside 47 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.800 or something shot at it from the outside. So the 48 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.080 plane wasn't on fire. It seemed to be intact. No 49 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.520 pieces of the aircraft wing or vertical stabilizers were missing, 50 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.639 so that scene to suggest everything was pretty much as normal. 51 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.520 We do know the airplane took off, reached six hundred 52 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.919 and eighty feet or so, leveled off, and then started 53 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.840 to glide down and the landing air was still deployed. 54 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.080 Now normally you'll retract that right as you hit the 55 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.240 rotation point as you take off, but the crew, you know, 56 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.520 had their hands full here. And there's also reports that 57 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.280 there was a made a call, yeah, was sent out 58 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.840 and Brian, I'll be really, really really surprised if that's accurate. 59 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.719 Can oh yeah. 60 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.240 If your flight crew, the last thing you're gonna do 61 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.919 when you have moments is to stop what you're doing 62 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.719 and communicate what's going on. Pilots are taught you aviate 63 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.840 first and foremost who cares. You don't tell anybody anything 64 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.159 until you try to get a handle on the situation 65 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.639 that's at hand. And if a flight crew took time 66 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.759 away from the few seconds and that's really all they 67 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.400 have of trying to solve this problem, whatever it was, 68 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.719 to stop and communicate. That's just not the norm. And 69 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.120 apparently they had a pretty experienced flight crew. And what's 70 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.960 going to happen is you're going to hear so many 71 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.560 reports of this and that that you're going to fight 72 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:43.159 out after the. 73 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:44.000 Fact wasn't the case. 74 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.199 There's eyewitness reports that you really can't take much stock 75 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.960 in because you're gonna have two people stand by side 76 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:51.759 and one will say it was flying this way and 77 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.360 the other one says, no, it's flying that way. Because 78 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.759 your brains just aren't wired to process the tragedy that 79 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.759 you solve unfolding. But you know, if an airplane takes 80 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.680 off and it has a problem with one of the engines, 81 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.479 it continues to take off, they shut the one bad 82 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.560 engine down, they increase power to the second, use fly around, 83 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.439 and you come back in the land. It's a very routine. 84 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:19.759 What happened here apparently caused power for both engines to 85 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:25.079 turn off, and that's you know, that narrows it down 86 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.959 just a bit. Now, there's no conclusions that are ever 87 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.120 going to be drawn from just the video that we 88 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.000 saw have at our disposal. Boeing officials as well as 89 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.079 the National Transportation Safety Board as an assist agency. 90 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:39.920 They won't be leading. 91 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:44.399 It will arrive and they'll help with the black boxes, 92 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.800 and once those are retrieved and analyzed, they'll be able 93 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.000 to tell mechanically what was happening. And also the cockpit 94 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:56.600 voice recorder that will provide any verbal communications were going 95 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.519 on or any alarms that might have been sounding at 96 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.000 the time. That could s just what happened. But if 97 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.680 there was ever fuel contamination, in other words, if water 98 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.879 got in the fuel or something that contaminated the fuel enough, 99 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.720 it could cause an engine to shut down. We've had 100 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.360 that happen before. For it to have both engines shut down. 101 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.920 I just don't know. I just don't know. And back 102 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.399 to that may day call. I remember when Selenberg and 103 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.120 Jeff Skiles on the Miracle on the Hudson when they 104 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.439 had the double bird strike. They communicated in may day, 105 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.040 but they were twenty eight hundred feet so they had 106 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.800 some time to work the problem, thankfully, and it ended 107 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.399 up very well. This crew had less than seven hundred 108 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.079 feet and if you're at altitude, you know, thirty five 109 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.040 thousand feet and there's a problem, an experienced flight crew 110 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.240 can say, Okay, let's work the problem. We have X 111 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.240 amount of minutes to solve whatever's going on here. They 112 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.439 had seconds to try, and yeah, obviously very very few options. 113 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:02.639 And now the investigational continue and hopefully they'll find some survivors. 114 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:07.639 Oh my god, the images and the pictures and the 115 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.759 video are just horrific, and you just pray that the 116 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.000 people on the plane survived as well as nobody on 117 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.399 the ground was killed, and only. 118 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:15.800 Time will tell. 119 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.279 Time will tell, and you can pray that there are 120 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.600 but seeing the video and that fireball explosion and the 121 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.639 fact that they basically flew into a building, I find 122 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.120 it hard to believe anybody could survive. 123 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:27.240 You. 124 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.079 I can later get into the specifics of the investigation, yeah, 125 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.600 and certain things you're concerned about, But yeah, those are 126 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:33.759 my initial observations. 127 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.600 Real quick, No, pilot, am I I know you are 128 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.680 a pilot, but it didn't look like the flaps were 129 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.079 down there flaps down during takeoff to provide. 130 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.920 The flaps were not in the position that they needed 131 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.480 to appear to be. But it was the air speed 132 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.879 that to me was the biggest indicator, because even if 133 00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:00.079 you have a flap issue, the speed is going to 134 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.000 dictate what happens. 135 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.279 Yeah, the stall is stall thing, right, and. 136 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.839 You know this, well, a stall would have would have 137 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.439 actually caused the airplane to. 138 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.560 Fall out of the sky. Yeah, you're right, that was Yeah. 139 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.279 This one, this one flew and or glided is a 140 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.160 better term. So that's why on this And look the 141 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.439 Dreamliner you're talking about, seventy nine airlines around the world 142 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.360 use it. It's been been around for fourteen years. You've 143 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.800 had a billion passengers travel on them without any incident whatsoever. Uh, 144 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.399 you know, as far as a crash. So there's a 145 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.000 lot of you know, this is a workhorse for Boeing, 146 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:36.920 and a lot of people are saying, oh, here we 147 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:37.600 go Boeing again. 148 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:38.519 I'm like, we'll time out. 149 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.000 You know, there's a lot of contributing causes that could 150 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.439 be at play here, and we simply don't know because yeah, 151 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.839 it was a Boeing aircraft. But you know Boeing and Airbus, 152 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.240 ninety percent percent of any aviation access can involve one 153 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.079 of the two. So you certainly can't draw conclusions at all. 154 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.720 Here we go again, because that Dreamliner has a very 155 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.240 very proven track occurred behind it and is an incredibly 156 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:03.000 safe aircraft. 157 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.560 I guess lucky for bowing it wasn't a seven thirty 158 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.279 seven max. 159 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.519 Well, yeah, but you know they're going to be very 160 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.000 quickly over there to see what's going on, because if 161 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.360 it was a mechanical situation, we got to address it 162 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.920 because we have other seven eighty sevens that are out 163 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.399 there flying fair enough. 164 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.519 We'll continue with Jay Ratliffe after these brief words. 165 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.439 Fifty five KRC JENLEMI with a horse. 166 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.759 We got a warmer but more humid day to day 167 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.000 air quality alerting effect from the Sinney metro area in 168 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.919 southeast Indiana. Eighty seven for the high sixty eight overnight 169 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.399 low with clouds and increased humidity, eighty four muggy and 170 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.399 scattered afternoon and evening storms Tomorrow between five and ten GM, 171 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.679 mainly eighty four the high down to sixty eight over 172 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.879 night with a few scattered showers and storms and mostly 173 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.559 Cloudy's Saturday, and they say thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon. 174 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.720 I have a two then right now sixty eight. Time 175 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:52.480 for traffics. 176 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.600 You see how traffic center from massides therapy to stress 177 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.720 relief and cancer surveillance. So you see cancer center offers 178 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.000 the region's largest support services program for cancer patients and 179 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.759 survivors called five one three five eighty five. 180 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.759 U see CC South Bend. 181 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.480 Seventy one continue slow from a pump two seventy five, 182 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.440 often on the red bank rex clear. So is the 183 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.919 backup North Pound four seventy one, North Pound seventy five 184 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.720 getting better between Florence and downtown Chuck Ingramont fifty five 185 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.600 krs the talk station we've. 186 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.720 Ever been in the cockpit before? 187 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.120 Hey, forty fifty fou KRCD talk station. Jay ratherifas he's 188 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.080 I heard, needy aviation expert. We enjoy his company every 189 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.039 Thursday for a few segments. Uh, pivoting over away from 190 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.399 the tragic Indian aircraft we have. It's one thing to 191 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.240 have your flight cancel, but it's nothing to have your 192 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.159 entire airline shut down. What's this all about? 193 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:43.440 Jay? 194 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.519 Yeah? Silver Airways may've been around two I think fourteen 195 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.639 fifteen years. Maybe they're Florida based company. I fly into 196 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.559 Florida as well as Caribbean and Bahama destinations. They have 197 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.480 eight eight aircraft and either twenty eight or thirty destinations. 198 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.279 And yesterday they they ceased operations, ran out of money 199 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:09.200 and told sent messages to the passengers not to report 200 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.919 to the airport. Well that's fine if you're home getting 201 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.000 ready to go on your vacation, but quite another if 202 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.279 you're at your vacation waiting to get home. Oh yeah, yeah, 203 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.840 So those individuals would be tasked with trying to get 204 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.159 a hold of an airline and by a last minute 205 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:29.000 one way ticket back back home because the airline that 206 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.200 they had trusted has gone out of business. So we 207 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.679 it's been a while since we've seen one just totally 208 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.840 belly up like this without any advanced notice. But the 209 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:44.840 good news is that the you know, the number of 210 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.639 cities a fly or few, which means the impact is 211 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.600 going to be few. But you know, not if you're 212 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.320 one of the passengers who's going to end up being 213 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.600 stranded at one of these, especially if you're in the 214 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.000 Caribbean or the Bahamas and you're trying. 215 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.440 To get back and depending on how they I guess 216 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:02.639 declare bankruptcy and co chapter eleven or something, getting your 217 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.279 money back, it's gonna be a little difficult from a 218 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.759 belly up airline. 219 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.440 Yeah. And you know, if they filed Chapter eleven, as 220 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.799 many airlines have, they keep flying and from our side 221 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.440 of the ticket counter. You and I've talked about it. 222 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.159 You really you don't notice the difference if it's Spirit 223 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.720 American when they filed Chapter eleven and and other carriers. 224 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.440 I remember when United went through it a number of 225 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.480 years ago. It's just something that that happens. And as 226 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.639 they do, you know, they organized that they keep flying, 227 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.960 a far cry from just kind of you know, everything 228 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.120 coming to a stop. 229 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.600 Well, I guess they have assets that could be liquidated. 230 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:40.720 You might get you pennies on your desk. 231 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.120 That's typically the case because I'm sure if they are 232 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.919 having this kind of financial struggles, they had a lot 233 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.000 of creditors standing in line with their hands out for 234 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.519 the for the what's left over. 235 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:52.120 And we talk a lot Brandon about the the flight insurance, 236 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.919 trip insurance, and those things come into play because I'm 237 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.279 a big fan of that because you never know what's 238 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.759 gonna happen. And anytime Sharry and I fly, I'll get 239 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.360 the trip cancelation insurance, which includes a lot of different things. 240 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.879 If things were to happen and it's a few bucks, 241 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.240 it's no big deal and a peace of mind, yes, 242 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.879 And to me, it's just a natural part. Plus if 243 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.039 you're really really good at planning your trip way in advance, 244 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:20.600 as so many of our listeners are. 245 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:21.720 You're getting a. 246 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:26.600 Very big discount on your ticket, and as a result, 247 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.879 many times the insurance is going to be made available, 248 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.519 sometimes at reduced costs. But even if not, with all 249 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.960 the money you've saved by booking early, you've got more 250 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.240 than a month of money left over to make sure 251 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.159 that you lock that in. And if you're buying your 252 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.320 making your reservations as we try to do, eleven months 253 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.759 in advance, that is very prudent to get that and 254 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.799 I can't you know, recommend that. 255 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.679 Enough, fair enough, Well, you got another minute to show 256 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.799 in this segment. Let's just talk real quickly about Boeing 257 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.200 had a great month of sales, more than three hundred aircraft. Now, 258 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.120 I guess the follow up question is, yeah, you sold them, 259 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.919 but when are you going to deliver them? 260 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:06.559 Well, right now they're making they're cranking out airplanes at 261 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.960 about forty five a month, which is twice of what 262 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:13.159 he did last year at this time. But look last 263 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.159 year Boeing delivered three hundred and forty eight airplanes. 264 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.159 Wow, and the whole year. 265 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.440 So if you see them getting three hundred and three 266 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.600 orders in a month. That's not too bad that they 267 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.159 had three cancel on them, so it was an at 268 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.039 of three hundred and they've had very few months that 269 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.960 were that good as far as a you know, kind 270 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.919 of a blockbuster kind of month for them. But what 271 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.559 that means is their backlog aircraft orders are now fifty 272 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.840 nine hundred and forty three, so they've got nearly six 273 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.279 thousand aircraft on back order. By comparison with their friends 274 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.320 over at the Airbus, they've got I think about eight thousand, 275 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.639 close to nine thousand on back order. So I don't 276 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.600 care who you're buying your airplane from, it's going to 277 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:57.559 be a while before you get it, which is why 278 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:01.039 we've discussed many times. Airlines will say, hey, let's go 279 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.559 buy another airline. That way we can immediately have an 280 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.279 influx of you know, two hundred new airplane not new, 281 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.440 but two hundred additional aircraft that we can add to 282 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.720 the fleet that will allow us to fly in US 283 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.679 several cities that we just can't now because we don't 284 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.960 have the number of airplanes to do. 285 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.639 It all right, Well, and you know, if you're buying 286 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.480 millions of dollars worth of aircraft, and every one of 287 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.360 these things is a heap lot of money. The terms 288 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:27.480 of conditions and the delivery date prospects or anticipated delivered 289 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.440 date is certainly something they're going to discuss, so they 290 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.320 know in advance about when the aircraft's going to show off, 291 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.960 or at least some rough estimates it is. 292 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:38.000 And look, a lot of these are incredibly fuel efficient airplanes, 293 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.559 and it's a lot of the planes that they are 294 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.519 ordering are to replace some of the planes that are 295 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.279 older in their fleet. So the thought is, look, let's 296 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.440 get this newer aircraft in so that we can a 297 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.120 save money on fuel but provide a better line of 298 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:57.240 service for our customers. I'd love to think that's a 299 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:58.320 primary consideration. 300 00:14:58.399 --> 00:14:58.679 It's not. 301 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.399 And many times as because you can accommodate more passengers 302 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.960 on the newer aircraft than you can be old. So yeah, 303 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.159 there's a lot of incentives for getting the new airplanes, 304 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.080 and you know they can't get them fast enough. 305 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.879 Let's pause, bring Jay right, look back, talk about airlines 306 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:17.200 selling our personal tremble information and hub delays always conclude 307 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:18.720 with hub delays. Find out it's a good day to 308 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.720 fly out there. It's a forty six right now, be right. 309 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.720 Back fifty five KRC. 310 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.000 One more time for the weather this morning, it's Channel 311 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.159 nine says we have a partly cloudy day, a bit 312 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.279 more human I guess than yesterday. Air quality a lerding 313 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.200 effect for since Sint Metro and south East Indiana eighty 314 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.039 seven the high that excuse me down to sixty eight 315 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.639 overnight with clouds, clouds, muggy conditions tomorrow with scattered aufternnon 316 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.159 and evening storms. They predict between five and ten pm 317 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:45.799 eighty four for the high, but then again we've got 318 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.200 showers and storms overnight as well. Sixty eight for the low. Finally, 319 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.200 for Saturday, cloudy with scattered thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. 320 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.799 Eighty two for the high, finishing up at sixty eight degrees. 321 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:58.399 Let's get a final traffic. 322 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.639 Update from the use see how traumfhic center from the 323 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.960 science therapy to stress relief and cancer surveillance. The u 324 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:09.320 See Cancer Center offers the region's largest supportive services program 325 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.440 for cancer patients and survivors, called five one three five 326 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:17.399 eighty five UCCCE northbound seventy five continues just over a 327 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.720 five minute delay from Turf Way into town. 328 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:21.320 Southbound seventy five. 329 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:24.000 That's Ober a five minute delay from Evendale down to 330 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.320 the lateral southbound seventy one. You're often on the breaks 331 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.440 from above two seventy five to Red Bank Chuck Ingram 332 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.960 on fifty five KRC the talk station. 333 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.720 A fifty year fifty five KERR CIT talk station. Demand 334 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:41.879 in demand, most notably on days like today we have 335 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.200 that tragedy in India with the airline crash. But Jay Ratliffe, 336 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.519 what is with airlines selling our personal and travel information 337 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.080 to whom and why? 338 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:58.159 Well, the airlines have an organization or come entity they own, 339 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.600 the Airline Reporting Corporation. It's owned in essence by several 340 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.160 large airlines. It does a lot of things from an 341 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.960 accounting standpoint and other things for the airline industry. But 342 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.119 it's been found out that the ARC, the Airline Reporting Corporation, 343 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:20.279 is selling light information personal data on passengers to the 344 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.839 Customs and Border Protection Agency. So the thought is why 345 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:30.319 are airlines selling this information to a government entity in 346 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:35.519 not keeping that information private? The response was that, you know, 347 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.480 we're going to support federal, state and local law enforcement 348 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.000 agencies if they're trying to identify persons of interest. But 349 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.079 the airlines have not been shall we say, fully you know, 350 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.000 forthcoming with regards to what they're doing. But you know, 351 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.799 when I look at it, it's the itinerary, it's the 352 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:56.480 payment details that are being made available, and I mean 353 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.559 the government has that kind of information anyway, So I 354 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.559 don't I don't feel as though it's a betrayal on 355 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.519 my part if my light information or whatever is provided 356 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.599 to a government agency for the I guess, the sake 357 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.799 of law enforcement. But you know, your libertarian side of things, 358 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:17.680 you might look at that and say, hey, look, you know, 359 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.400 is this something that we can look at? There's a 360 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.279 bobby And that was going to be a question I 361 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.200 had for you, because I look at this as something 362 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.839 that's not necessarily that big of a deal, because the 363 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.240 government already has access to a lot of this. I 364 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:32.839 think the thought is we're trying to find in a 365 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.839 timely fashion where somebody we're looking for might happen to 366 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:36.440 be traveling to. 367 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.599 Yeah, very mixed emotions on these kind of things, Jay, 368 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.119 I really do, because I don't like, you know, government 369 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.960 accumulation of information. I mean, it's always there, or we're 370 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.880 just trying to protect you, We're just trying to protect you. Yeah, 371 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.200 well that's what the NSA says. They vacuum up literally 372 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.640 every communication we make in the world. And you know 373 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.519 how good are they at produced at predicting future crimes? 374 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.359 And the usually are just like, oh yeah, we got 375 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.880 a file on that guy after the crime has been committed. 376 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.839 So you know what I mean, it's like gotta NDS 377 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:06.240 is that movie Costa Blanca. 378 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:07.839 We have a complete dossier on you. 379 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.799 You know, all right, great, thanks, so my eyes yeah, yeah, 380 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:12.480 all right. 381 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:16.640 Well I don't trust airlines and you know, am I 382 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.000 trust for the government. Well that probably goes without saying, 383 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:24.680 but it's just, you know, the irony is the government 384 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.759 asked the airlines for information such as this during the pandemic, 385 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:35.519 and the airline said, no, we will not provide it 386 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.200 because we don't have the personnel. So I guess when 387 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.200 it was requested during a time of crisis with the pandemic, 388 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.400 thinking if somebody had got COVID, we need to find 389 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.319 out where they've been. Uh, that kind of stuff isn't 390 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.920 important enough. But now the airlines are okay and selling 391 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:55.640 that same information to another government agency. It just yeah, 392 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:56.799 really yeah. 393 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:01.359 Come on and selling it, you know, profit profit motive. Right, 394 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.720 that's it, you got it all right? We always then 395 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:05.799 unhubbed DeLay's jay right left. What's it look like out 396 00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:06.880 there today for air travel? 397 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.519 You don't want to be in Texas, Houston and Dallas 398 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.960 getting absolutely hammered with some inclement weather, a lot of rain, 399 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.200 a lot of wind, a lot of delayed, a lot 400 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.720 of canceled flights. So if you're flying connecting on through 401 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:20.680
