From the city that changes the world. Peers Rose with
three things you need.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
To know for your Wednesday, Rose, what you got for us?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
So Southwest Airlines have set a date for assigned seating
and that change is going to happen on January.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Twenty seventh, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
So they announced this change last summer that they're ending
their open seating policy. So the airline also revealed that
new seating options include.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Extra leg room and preferred seats.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Look at that, okay, which sure.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
That means they're going to move the seats room me So.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Southwest will also introduce a new group based boarding process,
so there will be eight boarding groups instead of the
current A through C system.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
So it's gonna be Well.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The whole thing is weird because I read a book
about their whole thing. The whole idea was they were
cheapest possible. They only have a scene airplane. There's no
variety of airplanes, so one plane goes down, they have
the parts all the airports can. The idea of like
having a no assigned seats was people are bored the
plane quicker, so they'd be at the gate for less
time to get back in the air quicker. Sure, psychologically,
it all made sense. That was their business model to
(01:09):
have chief flights. As the planes are barely at the gate,
they're off the next place. Now you're throwing out the
window and they say they're make andred more million dollars.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
But where that is wild?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, you're literally changing the whole thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You're probably gonna have to pay more for certain seats
with all the other airlines, Like you're going to be
assigned some random seat, and then if you want a
specific seat, it's.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Going to beat upgrade.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's like if the water park goes, hey, you know
how we have the water rides. We're getting revolved in
this regular rides now.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Well that's why I stopped flying them, because it got
to the point that after twenty twenty, if you wanted
to have a higher boarding you had to pay like
one hundreds of dollars. Oh yeah, we're went worth it.
And I was just like, this is not worth it.
If you travel a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
No, it's not plus some plus the check bag change.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I don't think it's worth it all anymore. Sorry, soth Lusty,
You're done.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
We'll see.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
So the Washington commanders are facing high expectations after reaching
the NFC Championship Game last year. And the Commanders actually
opened training camp today with the hopes of improving a
roster that won twelve grame games during the regular season
multiple PLAYFF games, So that'll be super fun. And there's
a new study by Consumer Reports that rank DC area
traffic as the worst in the United States.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Looks at that are.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
You are we shocked?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
No? So.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
The report says the area's average commune time is now
thirty three point four minutes, while congestion each weekday lasts
an average of six hours and thirty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
We're just doing construction everywhere. I know, I know, construction
has always been going on here. I get that my
mom grew up here, but like, never so much worse
the last year, so much worse. There's that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, you get to listen to us for a little longer.
There you go, DC swap.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
DC swap positions with Los Angeles, which ranked worse in
the US the last two years.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So congrats d C. Yay, I'm resides are the three
things you used to know for the day? Your hook,
thanks for hanging Thanks for hanging out.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Sounds like eyreriving home from work and I'm like the
back rooms they take they're doing construction on. I'm like,
I'll just never go home.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I mean getting back from the airport on Sunday on
the Parkway, Like those those lanes are narrow.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Oh, I don't go the parkwaymore. I'm like, I'd rather
just I'd rather you.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Got maybe an inch on each side and you're gonna
put bowling with the bumpers on.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
That's why I unmatched. Was a guy that said he
planned that. Well, You're like absolutely, And I asked this specifically.
It was right when I moved back here two years ago.
I said, Oh, were you part of why the parkway sucks?
Drive on now? He's like, yeah, actually I was one
of the major people that planned it. I was like, Okay,
this is not going to work out, not today, bro.
And I know that's really immature, but I literally when
I moved back after being gone for two and a
(03:37):
half years and I saw that it was like one lane,
I just hated it. So I know that I would
resent him.
