Southwest did something really cool for a Spirit pilot. There's
a video.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Shared by Southwest Airlines of Captain John Jackson. He was
supposed to operate his final fight with Spirit Airlines that afternoon,
but he got the news right so instead, after the
airline abruptly shut down, he ended up traveling home as
a passenger on a Southwest flight, sitting alongside of his son, Chris,
(06:30):
who works as a Southwest first officer. Well, Chris mentioned
to the pilots that it should have been his father's
retirement trip, and that said everything in motion. The crew
listen this, coordinated with Dylan, a Southwest dispatcher, and arranged
a surprise.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Once they landed in Baltimore, they had fire.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And rescue crews welcomed the aircraft, which is traditional when
you know when swbody's retiring. They brought up the water
cannons and did a water cannon salute. The ground team
was waiting at the gate. They had I think they Yeah,
they brought out bottles of champagne.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
That's really cool. Yeah, considering it wasn't one of theirs
per se.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, he stepped out on jet Bridge and the gate
the gate agent us late ladies and gentlemen, this is
mister John Jackson before before handing him champagne.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's awesome. That's super cool.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
They rode out the big trucks and did the water
can that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Picking up where spirit left off, a second grade school
teacher who told pupils quote this class terrifies me before
chugging a bottle of gin and water and then eventually
vomiting in the toilet and the bathroom. Yet she apparently
(07:56):
stated that the bottle had been in her bag from.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Birthday weekend that she.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
She didn't realize it had alcoholic when she first started
sipping on it. Yeah, right, it's jin you know before that, yeah, man, oh,
most definitely. And then yeah, she started in on the
kids and just kept sipping on it till one of
the kids noticed that she was slurring her speech, and
she up and chucked the whole thing and they ended
up throwing up. Yes, she's not gonna have a job anymore.
(08:24):
All right, here we go the Chick fil A. This
is one of the most interesting because when you think
Chick fil A, you think they got the nicest people,
the nicest message.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That's where God eats. God don't live there, he eats there.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
But a twenty three year old former Chick fil A
employee in Texas named Kishan Jones. He's been arrested after
a bizarre scheme involving mac and cheese. So Kashawan was
seeing on security footage sneaking behind the counter and ringing
up was this eight hundred mac and cheese tray orders,
(09:02):
and then he refunded him to his personal credit card
to the tune of eighty thousand dollars. Wow, this dude
put eighty grand on his own credit card.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
He could do that just doing chargebacks. Huh.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Chick fil As always packed. But somehow he pulled this
off in street clothes with anybody stopped him. He might
have known when to strike because he used to work
at Chick fil A, But he was fired about three
weeks before he did this.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Oh so he wasn't even an employee at the time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
No, No, he just knew the sauce spot in the uh,
in the workings of Chick fil A. He knew how
to I guess, well, ring it, he wrung up eighty
thousand dollars. And here's what's crazy. I'm sure he thought
he got by with it. Managers obviously noticed the loss
of eighty thousand dollars in mac and cheese returns.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
They looked the video, they reported the theft.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Police launched an investigation, and it took him five months
to track this dude down. He's facing multiple felony charges,
including property theft, money laundering, evading the rest more. But yeah,
man eighty g's and he was like ching them out.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I wouldn't know why it took him so long.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Five months. It can't find him.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I guess, okay, because it sounds like all the he
charged it back to his own card, I know, like
follow the money.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, I mean, it wasn't that hard to figure out
who did it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Can you imagine being the mane eighty thousand dollars in
maca cheese refunds?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
What Hell.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
No, I don't know what a Chick fil A makes
in a month, but I would think eighty thousand you'd notice.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well, you kidding me? I thought they made millions of
dollars a month. I don't know if they'd notice eighty thousand,
but in a day, eighty thousand dollars with the refunds
in theday, I'm sure you reconcile. Every night, I imagine
as much money as Chick fil A does. They make
more than everybody else, and they closed on Sundays.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Doing the lord's work. Like man, they rake.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
And they're not bad priced either, They just that's how
many people roll up through there.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Have you ever seen a Chick fil A not busy? Nope.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
The average Chick fil A makes about eight hundred thousand
dollars in gross revenue a month.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Jeez, eight hundred thousand dollars a month in gross revenue.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
This will not profit. The operator takes home about twelve
percent of net sales.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
When's that stat from? That's a lot of chicken sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It's from a Reddit post about two years old.
