Speaker 1 (01:00):
Station eight fifty five K City Talks Station. It's Thursday.
It's time for iHeartMedia aviation. Next for Jay Ratt. Before
we hear from Jay, though very quick thanks and props
on the heels of Joe Montgomery from Patriots Landing and
the announcement of the Patriots Landing whiskey. Props go to Borbinski.
Burbinski is the manufacturer. It's a veteran owned bourbon distillery.
(01:23):
Matt Carter Us Army, I guess uh founded it. And
so it's veteran owned or veteran owned company for and
distillery and veteran owned special whiskey made just for Patriots Landing,
bottled by veterans and then for sale in very limited quantities.
So another reason to get it out. And thanks to
Bourbinski for all they do, and welcome back Jay rat If.
(01:45):
I appreciate you give me a moment or two to
put that in.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
There, to step aside for our veterans. Brother, you know
I'll do that anytime of the day or a night.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Absolutely I did not.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I'm not a burb I'm not a bourbon drinker. But
I was like, brother, go on, go on, go on,
because I wish we could see more of that. And
I often tell people my kids, grandkids, the only thing
better today than it was when I was. Their age
is our appreciation for veterans, and I couldn't be happier.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm glad I didn't expect any resistance from you, of
all people, Jay Ratlift. All right, So this first topic
has me totally intrigued. And since I didn't look into
it in advance, you're gonna be letting me and my
listeners know for the first time the TSA has banned
a specific type of cell phone. What's the story behind
this one?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, you and I've talked about repeatedly these lithium batteries
and the phone repeating catching fire on an airplane, and
how these lithium battery electronic devices are never ever to
be placed in a piece of check luggage because if
they catch on fire, we can't get to them, and
that creates a big time problem. And if one of
these phones gets stuck in a seat and they can't
(02:53):
get to it. You know, I've talked about how they
have an emergency landing quickly because if it catches on fire,
there's no way to put that fire out if it's
stuck into a seat. So it's a very serious matter.
And just recently the US Department of Transportation in the
FAA issued an emergency order that's banning a cell phone
from flying. It's not allowed in check luggage obviously, ever,
(03:15):
nor is it allowed to be carried on. If you
show up at the TSA checkpoint with this kind of phone,
they're going to take it from you, or you're gonna
have to leave it behind or give it to somebody else.
But it's the Samsung Galaxy Note seven, and the Samsung
Galaxy Note seven came out twenty sixteen, so it's not
(03:36):
like a super modern type of phone, but a lot
of people still use it, and when they show up
at the airport, they are un they are shocked that
they're being told.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You can go, that phone cannot.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And it was the first time that the FAA has
taken a position that says, you know what safety is safety,
and if these things pose this kind of problem where
they catch on fire more than other phone, we are
not going to let them on board an airplane. I
was shocked in a very good way that the FAA
took this position, because it opens up the door for
(04:09):
if there's other phones that are overheating to the point
where it's happening frequently where flight attendants now also become firefighters.
Something has to be done before we have a horrific access.
So hats off to the FAA who actually did that. Now,
airlines could have done this on their own, but they didn't.
(04:30):
And the TSA, you know, is involved in all this
as well. And Brat, I'm just glad to see it,
because when you're talking about something that has the potential
of catching on fire and it's okay, go ahead and
bring it along with you, hopefully it won't happen. And
the scariest part to me is when we have these
devices and we put them in our luggage and at
(04:50):
the gate they take our bag to check to our destination,
you know, because the bins are full. Some people forget
they've got those devices in those bags and they go
straight from the gate to the plane. And so yeah, see,
seeing the TSA do this and the FAA, I am
very very pleased.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, that sounds like a step in the right direction
from my standpoint. You know, of course I'm sure I
ended up, though I feel for the people who have them.
It's like I've been flying with this phone for the
last several years. You're gonna tell me now, I'm not. Yeah,
that's the way it happens.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
We're trying to get the word out. So anybody that's
lying or if you've been making fun of somebody over
their twenty sixteen phone and it's a Samsung Galaxy Note seven,
please please please let them know what they're in store
for when they get to the airport, because the TSA
is trying to get the word out. I'm really glad
they are. And again this is probably just the first
of several that we could see band as we move forward.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
More phones and the aviation topics coming up next with
Jay Ratliff stick around. Be right back after these brief words.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Here's what's trending care CD talk station. I heard Medy
Aviation next where Jay Ratliffe on the program. Always enjoy
our conversation Jay and Dominic theme this morning apparently phone.
So the TSA banning a specific type of phone, but
it doesn't matter what brand phone it might get stolen
at the airport.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yes, well, well, in fact, there's an increasing number of
phones that are are being reported as stolen per the TSA,
and they're saying that it's it's easily preventable and what happens.
Any of us who fly know that A lot of
times if you put your all your belongings in the bind,
it goes through this the X ray machine you're about
to walk through, but the person in front of you gets,
(06:31):
you know, buzzed or what they got to go through
a few and you're just waiting. So your stuff's over
on the other side waiting for you, and you're still
waiting to get through the process so you can get
to your belongings. And people that just put their phone
out in the bin with all their other stuff where
it's easily visible, those are the ones that are being
snatched because people see them, they grab them. I mean,
(06:53):
nobody's there checking to make sure your stuff is your stuff,
and with all the moving parts, it's pretty eas for
somebody if they are a thief to look at that
and say, hey, I'll grab that phone. There's a lot
of personal information on it. If I can act into it,
get me into some financial stuff, So let me do it.
So the Tiessa saying, just make it harder, put it
in your bag before you put it in the bin,
(07:15):
or put it in something just to hide it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Jay, Can I ask you a question, though, I don't
know what your personal protocol is. But as I'm thinking
you're telling this story, that's something that's kind of always
loomed in the back of my head. I am not
taking my eye off my box. It's got my wallet
in it, it's got my phone in and it's got
the keys I'm gonna need to get home in it.
So I watched the thing through the whole process until
(07:39):
it gets out of the ramp and I'm able to
get my hands on it. So if someone tried to
steal something out of my box, I would know right
away and get over into his face.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Or alert the authority so that somebody.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But you know, there's sometimes there's.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
A lot of stuff going on, and you know, people
that aren't used to flying scariflying kind of intimidated by flying,
they go through this just oblivious because they're being told
what to do, when to do, where to stand, where
to go, where to walk, all that, and it's just
a blur. So because of that, the confusion that that
is that ensues at a security checkpoint and many times
(08:14):
at a ticket counter, open up the possibility for people
to do things that you know from a from a
theft standpoint. And you know, when you've got four or
five bins that are lined up over on the other
side waiting for people to get to them, it's easy
to lose track of which ben is yours, nice from
it from a distance. So but it's surprising that we
have a number of these, and you know, a lot
(08:36):
of times the phone is the last thing that goes
into that ben because it's the last thing that we're
kind of clutching to, and a lot of times it's
just laid in there, exposed for everybody to see. Itsa
is asking us just do something to hide it get
away so that we don't you know, nobody can be
tempted to feel something that you know, sadly most people
can't live without.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
There's some people.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You think someone is enough money and ability to buy
an airline ticket and fly to some destination, they wouldn't
be inclined to steal something. It's like a crime of opportunity.
It's laying there. I'll just grab it, but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Some people fly to steal okay, okay, we'll get the
cheapest fairs they can to wherever, and they look for
people that aren't paying attention to their stuff at a
bar that's drinking, they got to the bathroom, leave stuff behind.
I mean, it's just and that's one of the reasons
that if you're flying and you see something that just
doesn't quite look right, please bring it up to the
attention of someone. And most people are reluctant to do so,
(09:32):
and I always say, please do because law enforcement is
always indicated to me. Tell us what you see and
we'll tell you if it's something that's of note or not.
But don't ever hesitate because you know, yes, it could
be fat, or it could be something of a security issues,
a safety standpoint from terrorism. And you see unattended bags,
(09:52):
or somebody doing something that doesn't look right, or somebody
stealing from another person, by all means, please bring it
to the attention of you know, the people that are
in charge at the airport.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
All right, we're either gonna go really long in this segment,
we're gonna go a little short. I'm gonna choose the
latter option. We'll stop right now and bring you back
to talk about the NTSB conclusion about the door plug
problem on Alaska Airlines, plus the European Union doing what
I think you think is the right thing un single
pilot flights eight forty four. Right now, I'll be right
back with.

Experience the Janna nine first four cash Today and tomorrow
virtual mirrors of each other with pop up afternoon storms.
Possible heat index in the low one hundred, serve around
one hundred, and both days a high of ninety two,
sandwich in between a low of seventy three and muggy
conditions overnight. Come Friday, the heat advisory ends at eight pm.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It'll be a muggy day.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
It'll be a overnight low of seventy four and a
slight increased chances storms for Saturday, but a colt front
is coming our way and it will have a high

final traffic chuck in front.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Of the U see how traffic center. You see health.

Cruise are working in an accident in southbound seventy one
below Fieldsirtle. Traffic is slothing through blue Ash and ken
Wood thanks to an earlier wreck after Kenwood.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Road that was on the right shoulder.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
They just cleared it northbound seventy five slows buttermilk. Kyle's
chuck ingram on fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It is eight forty seven if you got KRC the
talk station. One more with Jay Rale. I've always enjoy
closing out the Thursdays or Friday eves on a positive
note with Jay, and let's talk about the NTSB made
some conclusions about the Alaska Airline door plug flight emergency.
That's when the one with the door that blew off
and I'm sure soiled a lot of shorts for people
(11:59):
on the floor.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
What did they conclude, Well, you know we always talk
about these National Transportation Safety Board reports will go eight
or twelve months, and that's what it took place here
because it was on January fifth of last year when
that last Airline flight twelve eighty two had that door
plug ripped from the cabin and that exposed the passengers
and the crew to that rapid air depression of the cabin.
(12:23):
And as you remember, that force was so intense it
caused that secured lock cockpit door to fly open, so
still a miracle that no passengers were killed. But the
final NTSB report came out this week and they blasted
Boeing for their lack of proper oversight and even blasted
the FAA, which was a little bit uncommon for the
(12:44):
National Transportation Safety Board, saying, look, the fa didn't do
their job at making sure that Boeing was doing everything
that they were supposed to be doing. Currently. Remember Boeing
five years ago lied to everybody on the planet about
a lot of things with the Boeing mat Back then,
Boeing promised to do better, and the FA said, we'll
do better, We'll keep a closer eye on Boeing, which
(13:06):
obviously did not happen. And the NTSB report said that
the flight crew were heroes, every single one of them
that day, but added they never should have been because
this never should have happened, and just blasted them. And
of course, we hope Boeing has made the changes that
they need to to make sure that things are I
don't know, bolted in and all the you know, everything
(13:27):
is secured from a hardware standpoint, but we just got
to wait and see it. I'll know, in a few years,
we all will Boeing has been good to their promises
because five years ago I was an idiot and believed
exactly what they said with all their paragraphs of promise
on how they had learned their lesson and they were
going to be better, and obviously they were worse now
(13:48):
than they were back then. So hopefully things are going
to try out for Boeing. We just don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Well, the only way we find out if they aren't
is if we have another incident like this, right, Jay,
I know it.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And you know a lot of times when we have
an incident, we get lucky and it doesn't involve a
fatality or serious injury. And we got you talk about
lucky twelve eighty two. This is a full flight and
the seat that is next to this door, nobody's sitting in.
And I mean most of the time, if you're in
the middle seat, you'd be like, hey, I'm gonna go
(14:22):
here and sit and kind of move around the things,
and nobody did. And remember the blast was so much
it ripped a shirt off of a teenager that was close.
I mean just ripped it off. And you know, thank god,
people are their seat belts on. You couldn't talk to
the person next to you because it was so loud
because of the air that was rushing out of that aircraft.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And it's like taking a cork off a champagne bottle
because of the pressurization of the cabin and then.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Imagine something as big as the cabin doing that. That's
just from a small bottle. And when you've got that
happening with a uh, you know, a cabin area, that's something.
Now remember Saturday Night Live, and I'm not a fan
of SNL at all, they did a skit on this
Brian that was absolutely spot on hilarious And if you
(15:10):
ever look at YouTube on that the Saturday Night Live
video that since nobody got hurt, I'm okay with it.
If somebody got hurt, I'd have been very offended with it.
But it was hilarious. They went after a last airlines.
I'm surprised they were allowed to do it, but it was.
It was something to watch and everything was factually kind
of accurate. But you know, we learned from that. And
(15:30):
of course, but remember last year, this happened January fifth,
and it was a week before a week before that,
Boeing came out with an advisory to all the Airlines
saying on some of our Boweing Max aircraft, on the
rudder control systems, We've had some mechanics around the world
report that there were some missing bolts and nuts from
(15:51):
the rudder control system, Brian. That's what allows the pilots
to fly the airplane. So that was something that said, hey,
we've got missing hardware on a very critical component on
our Boeing Maac's airplane. Keep an eye out. Okay, I guess,
I guess we're gonna, you know, as we're doing the maintenance,
keep an eye out. So we had something that was
(16:12):
totally unrelated a week later that blew off of an airplane.
Why because things weren't secured. It just makes no sense.
But if you believe some of the whistleblowers that Boeing
was so in a hurry to push these airplanes through production,
do you had people doing the job of two and
three people. They were being rushed, constantly, being worked over time,
(16:34):
and it was just a horrific work environment. You can
see how some of this stuff might actually happen. So
I hope Boeings learned their lesson, Brian, because just a scary,
scary situation. It doesn't prevent me from flying Boeing. So
please don't don't take that as me saying don't jump
on a Boeing aircraft. But look, I'm counting on the
FAA to do their job here and I hope this
(16:56):
time they do.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Mark Jay's words, European Union says, sing to pip pilot
flights and not such a good idea.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
It was twenty twenty one you and I talked about
how the European Union talked about, hey, maybe we should
have a commission that looks into having a single pilot
on the flight deck. And because look, airlines spend thirty
five to forty percent of their bottom line total operating
expense on you know, payroll, so you know, yeah, if
we have one pilot, we can cut things out. And
(17:24):
the technology is there, and of course I'm totally against
that because I want two highly qualified individuals there so
if one passes out or dies, which has happened, that
we don't have to worry about. You know, we've got
a redundant backup system. Well, finally the European unions come
out and said, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What, maybe now is not the time.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Thank god for that. They're saying that it's going to
require redesign of the aircraft. Other things you have to
be looked at and address, and at least for now,
it's no longer going to be something that they're going
to be pushing. So it's gone to the back burner.
Snoopy dance time for me, because that was something I
never wanted to say, because the next step after a
single pilot aircraft is a no pilot aircraft that is
(18:06):
totally automated, and I certainly don't want to go there either.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Agree completely. I don't even want to get in this
one of the self driving cars. Jay, I'm sorry, I
just don't trust that the technology is there yet.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Finally I can.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Tell how passionate I am about those topics, brother, because
I'm telling you I was screaming from the top of
the of the mountains. No, please, Lord Lord. No.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We share the same concerns, all right. Typically as we do,
we'll end on hub delays. What's it look like out
there for air travel to day.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Jay, Minneapolis? I hope you're not going there because we've
got another day of rain, wind, limited visibility is going
to be a slow down there if you're flying connecting
on Delta through Minneapolis. New York is going to give
us some issues, and probably Boston by the end of
the day, but I think those are going to be
a little bit less than what we're seeing Minneapolis. Other
than that, across the country should be a very very
good day to fly, other than the late day pop
(18:58):
up thunderstorms. And if you are flying, please remember to
keep your seat belt fastened about your Turbulence is still
out there, especially this time of year. Had an American
Airlines flight last week. Five people taken to the hospital,
so they hit turbulence. The people and most of them
were the flight attendants. They were up serving at the time,
so can't do anything about them, but we can do
something about us when we're seated, So please keep those
(19:19):
seat belts.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Found sound advice from Jay ry Loff. Always a pleasure
having you on the program every Thursday.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Jay.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I look forward to next Thursday in another edition, and
I hope you have a fantastic weekend you too, my friend.
Thank you, Thanks brother eight fifty five if you five
KRCD talk station. Happy anniversary again to my wife thirty
three years today. Looking forward to a three day weekend.
Draw your own conclusions and Gary Jeff's going to cover
for me tomorrow while I sleep in, So that'll be
tomorrow in the Morning Show. Gary, Jeff Walker, if you're
(19:45):
out there, I appreciate covering for me. Joe Strecker, I
appreciate you producing the morning show. Great conversation with George
Bruneman and Keith Tenenfeld about health, stress and sleep with
the two topics from Restore Wellness dot Org. George and Keith.
Joe Montgomery. Awesome things going on to Patriots Landing. You
better get that bourbon while at last, because I just
bought a bottle that means at minimum are at best.
(20:08):
There's only eighty seven left, and I already know some
other listeners had bought the bottle. So get on over
to Patriots Landing dot Org and support them in any
way you can. Just fantastic, folks. Joe's an awesome guy.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Everyone.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm glad I didn't expect any resistance from you, of
all people, Jay Ratlift. All right, So this first topic
has me totally intrigued. And since I didn't look into
it in advance, you're gonna be letting me and my
listeners know for the first time the TSA has banned
a specific type of cell phone. What's the story behind
this one?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, you and I've talked about repeatedly these lithium batteries
and the phone repeating catching fire on an airplane, and
how these lithium battery electronic devices are never ever to
be placed in a piece of check luggage because if
they catch on fire, we can't get to them, and
that creates a big time problem. And if one of
these phones gets stuck in a seat and they can't
(02:53):
get to it. You know, I've talked about how they
have an emergency landing quickly because if it catches on fire,
there's no way to put that fire out if it's
stuck into a seat. So it's a very serious matter.
And just recently the US Department of Transportation in the
FAA issued an emergency order that's banning a cell phone
from flying. It's not allowed in check luggage obviously, ever,
(03:15):
nor is it allowed to be carried on. If you
show up at the TSA checkpoint with this kind of phone,
they're going to take it from you, or you're gonna
have to leave it behind or give it to somebody else.
But it's the Samsung Galaxy Note seven, and the Samsung
Galaxy Note seven came out twenty sixteen, so it's not
(03:36):
like a super modern type of phone, but a lot
of people still use it, and when they show up
at the airport, they are un they are shocked that

Speaker 2 (03:45):
You can go, that phone cannot.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And it was the first time that the FAA has
taken a position that says, you know what safety is safety,
and if these things pose this kind of problem where
they catch on fire more than other phone, we are
not going to let them on board an airplane. I
was shocked in a very good way that the FAA
took this position, because it opens up the door for
(04:09):
if there's other phones that are overheating to the point
where it's happening frequently where flight attendants now also become firefighters.
Something has to be done before we have a horrific access.
So hats off to the FAA who actually did that. Now,
airlines could have done this on their own, but they didn't.
(04:30):
And the TSA, you know, is involved in all this
as well. And Brat, I'm just glad to see it,
because when you're talking about something that has the potential
of catching on fire and it's okay, go ahead and
bring it along with you, hopefully it won't happen. And
the scariest part to me is when we have these
devices and we put them in our luggage and at
(04:50):
the gate they take our bag to check to our destination,
you know, because the bins are full. Some people forget
they've got those devices in those bags and they go
straight from the gate to the plane. And so yeah, see,
seeing the TSA do this and the FAA, I am
very very pleased.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, that sounds like a step in the right direction
from my standpoint. You know, of course I'm sure I
ended up, though I feel for the people who have them.
It's like I've been flying with this phone for the
last several years. You're gonna tell me now, I'm not. Yeah,
that's the way it happens.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
We're trying to get the word out. So anybody that's
lying or if you've been making fun of somebody over
their twenty sixteen phone and it's a Samsung Galaxy Note seven,
please please please let them know what they're in store
for when they get to the airport, because the TSA
is trying to get the word out. I'm really glad
they are. And again this is probably just the first
of several that we could see band as we move forward.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
More phones and the aviation topics coming up next with
Jay Ratliff stick around. Be right back after these brief words.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Here's what's trending care CD talk station. I heard Medy
Aviation next where Jay Ratliffe on the program. Always enjoy
our conversation Jay and Dominic theme this morning apparently phone.
So the TSA banning a specific type of phone, but
it doesn't matter what brand phone it might get stolen
at the airport.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yes, well, well, in fact, there's an increasing number of
phones that are are being reported as stolen per the TSA,
and they're saying that it's it's easily preventable and what happens.
Any of us who fly know that A lot of
times if you put your all your belongings in the bind,
it goes through this the X ray machine you're about
to walk through, but the person in front of you gets,
(06:31):
you know, buzzed or what they got to go through
a few and you're just waiting. So your stuff's over
on the other side waiting for you, and you're still
waiting to get through the process so you can get
to your belongings. And people that just put their phone
out in the bin with all their other stuff where
it's easily visible, those are the ones that are being
snatched because people see them, they grab them. I mean,
(06:53):
nobody's there checking to make sure your stuff is your stuff,
and with all the moving parts, it's pretty eas for
somebody if they are a thief to look at that
and say, hey, I'll grab that phone. There's a lot
of personal information on it. If I can act into it,
get me into some financial stuff, So let me do it.
So the Tiessa saying, just make it harder, put it
in your bag before you put it in the bin,
(07:15):
or put it in something just to hide it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Jay, Can I ask you a question, though, I don't
know what your personal protocol is. But as I'm thinking
you're telling this story, that's something that's kind of always
loomed in the back of my head. I am not
taking my eye off my box. It's got my wallet
in it, it's got my phone in and it's got
the keys I'm gonna need to get home in it.
So I watched the thing through the whole process until
(07:39):
it gets out of the ramp and I'm able to
get my hands on it. So if someone tried to
steal something out of my box, I would know right
away and get over into his face.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Or alert the authority so that somebody.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But you know, there's sometimes there's.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
A lot of stuff going on, and you know, people
that aren't used to flying scariflying kind of intimidated by flying,
they go through this just oblivious because they're being told
what to do, when to do, where to stand, where
to go, where to walk, all that, and it's just
a blur. So because of that, the confusion that that
is that ensues at a security checkpoint and many times
(08:14):
at a ticket counter, open up the possibility for people
to do things that you know from a from a
theft standpoint. And you know, when you've got four or
five bins that are lined up over on the other
side waiting for people to get to them, it's easy
to lose track of which ben is yours, nice from
it from a distance. So but it's surprising that we
have a number of these, and you know, a lot
(08:36):
of times the phone is the last thing that goes
into that ben because it's the last thing that we're
kind of clutching to, and a lot of times it's
just laid in there, exposed for everybody to see. Itsa
is asking us just do something to hide it get
away so that we don't you know, nobody can be
tempted to feel something that you know, sadly most people
can't live without.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
There's some people.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You think someone is enough money and ability to buy
an airline ticket and fly to some destination, they wouldn't
be inclined to steal something. It's like a crime of opportunity.
It's laying there. I'll just grab it, but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Some people fly to steal okay, okay, we'll get the
cheapest fairs they can to wherever, and they look for
people that aren't paying attention to their stuff at a
bar that's drinking, they got to the bathroom, leave stuff behind.
I mean, it's just and that's one of the reasons
that if you're flying and you see something that just
doesn't quite look right, please bring it up to the
attention of someone. And most people are reluctant to do so,
(09:32):
and I always say, please do because law enforcement is
always indicated to me. Tell us what you see and
we'll tell you if it's something that's of note or not.
But don't ever hesitate because you know, yes, it could
be fat, or it could be something of a security issues,
a safety standpoint from terrorism. And you see unattended bags,
(09:52):
or somebody doing something that doesn't look right, or somebody
stealing from another person, by all means, please bring it
to the attention of you know, the people that are
in charge at the airport.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
All right, we're either gonna go really long in this segment,
we're gonna go a little short. I'm gonna choose the
latter option. We'll stop right now and bring you back
to talk about the NTSB conclusion about the door plug
problem on Alaska Airlines, plus the European Union doing what
I think you think is the right thing un single
pilot flights eight forty four. Right now, I'll be right
back with.

chuck ingram on fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It is eight forty seven if you got KRC the
talk station. One more with Jay Rale. I've always enjoy
closing out the Thursdays or Friday eves on a positive
note with Jay, and let's talk about the NTSB made
some conclusions about the Alaska Airline door plug flight emergency.
That's when the one with the door that blew off
and I'm sure soiled a lot of shorts for people
(11:59):
on the floor.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
What did they conclude, Well, you know we always talk
about these National Transportation Safety Board reports will go eight
or twelve months, and that's what it took place here
because it was on January fifth of last year when
that last Airline flight twelve eighty two had that door
plug ripped from the cabin and that exposed the passengers
and the crew to that rapid air depression of the cabin.
(12:23):
And as you remember, that force was so intense it
caused that secured lock cockpit door to fly open, so
still a miracle that no passengers were killed. But the
final NTSB report came out this week and they blasted
Boeing for their lack of proper oversight and even blasted
the FAA, which was a little bit uncommon for the
(12:44):
National Transportation Safety Board, saying, look, the fa didn't do
their job at making sure that Boeing was doing everything
that they were supposed to be doing. Currently. Remember Boeing
five years ago lied to everybody on the planet about
a lot of things with the Boeing mat Back then,
Boeing promised to do better, and the FA said, we'll
do better, We'll keep a closer eye on Boeing, which
(13:06):
obviously did not happen. And the NTSB report said that
the flight crew were heroes, every single one of them
that day, but added they never should have been because
this never should have happened, and just blasted them. And
of course, we hope Boeing has made the changes that
they need to to make sure that things are I
don't know, bolted in and all the you know, everything
(13:27):
is secured from a hardware standpoint, but we just got
to wait and see it. I'll know, in a few years,
we all will Boeing has been good to their promises
because five years ago I was an idiot and believed
exactly what they said with all their paragraphs of promise
on how they had learned their lesson and they were
going to be better, and obviously they were worse now
(13:48):
than they were back then. So hopefully things are going
to try out for Boeing. We just don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Well, the only way we find out if they aren't
is if we have another incident like this, right, Jay,
I know it.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And you know a lot of times when we have
an incident, we get lucky and it doesn't involve a
fatality or serious injury. And we got you talk about
lucky twelve eighty two. This is a full flight and
the seat that is next to this door, nobody's sitting in.
And I mean most of the time, if you're in
the middle seat, you'd be like, hey, I'm gonna go
(14:22):
here and sit and kind of move around the things,
and nobody did. And remember the blast was so much
it ripped a shirt off of a teenager that was close.
I mean just ripped it off. And you know, thank god,
people are their seat belts on. You couldn't talk to
the person next to you because it was so loud
because of the air that was rushing out of that aircraft.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And it's like taking a cork off a champagne bottle
because of the pressurization of the cabin and then.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Imagine something as big as the cabin doing that. That's
just from a small bottle. And when you've got that
happening with a uh, you know, a cabin area, that's something.
Now remember Saturday Night Live, and I'm not a fan
of SNL at all, they did a skit on this
Brian that was absolutely spot on hilarious And if you
(15:10):
ever look at YouTube on that the Saturday Night Live
video that since nobody got hurt, I'm okay with it.
If somebody got hurt, I'd have been very offended with it.
But it was hilarious. They went after a last airlines.
I'm surprised they were allowed to do it, but it was.
It was something to watch and everything was factually kind
of accurate. But you know, we learned from that. And
(15:30):
of course, but remember last year, this happened January fifth,
and it was a week before a week before that,
Boeing came out with an advisory to all the Airlines
saying on some of our Boweing Max aircraft, on the
rudder control systems, We've had some mechanics around the world
report that there were some missing bolts and nuts from
(15:51):
the rudder control system, Brian. That's what allows the pilots
to fly the airplane. So that was something that said, hey,
we've got missing hardware on a very critical component on
our Boeing Maac's airplane. Keep an eye out. Okay, I guess,
I guess we're gonna, you know, as we're doing the maintenance,
keep an eye out. So we had something that was
(16:12):
totally unrelated a week later that blew off of an airplane.
Why because things weren't secured. It just makes no sense.
But if you believe some of the whistleblowers that Boeing
was so in a hurry to push these airplanes through production,
do you had people doing the job of two and
three people. They were being rushed, constantly, being worked over time,
(16:34):
and it was just a horrific work environment. You can
see how some of this stuff might actually happen. So
I hope Boeings learned their lesson, Brian, because just a scary,
scary situation. It doesn't prevent me from flying Boeing. So
please don't don't take that as me saying don't jump
on a Boeing aircraft. But look, I'm counting on the
FAA to do their job here and I hope this
(16:56):
time they do.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Mark Jay's words, European Union says, sing to pip pilot
flights and not such a good idea.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
It was twenty twenty one you and I talked about
how the European Union talked about, hey, maybe we should
have a commission that looks into having a single pilot
on the flight deck. And because look, airlines spend thirty
five to forty percent of their bottom line total operating
expense on you know, payroll, so you know, yeah, if
we have one pilot, we can cut things out. And
(17:24):
the technology is there, and of course I'm totally against
that because I want two highly qualified individuals there so
if one passes out or dies, which has happened, that
we don't have to worry about. You know, we've got
a redundant backup system. Well, finally the European unions come
out and said, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What, maybe now is not the time.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Thank god for that. They're saying that it's going to
require redesign of the aircraft. Other things you have to
be looked at and address, and at least for now,
it's no longer going to be something that they're going
to be pushing. So it's gone to the back burner.
Snoopy dance time for me, because that was something I
never wanted to say, because the next step after a
single pilot aircraft is a no pilot aircraft that is
(18:06):
totally automated, and I certainly don't want to go there either.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Agree completely. I don't even want to get in this
one of the self driving cars. Jay, I'm sorry, I
just don't trust that the technology is there yet.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Finally I can.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Tell how passionate I am about those topics, brother, because
I'm telling you I was screaming from the top of
the of the mountains. No, please, Lord Lord. No.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We share the same concerns, all right. Typically as we do,
we'll end on hub delays. What's it look like out
there for air travel to day.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Jay, Minneapolis? I hope you're not going there because we've
got another day of rain, wind, limited visibility is going
to be a slow down there if you're flying connecting
on Delta through Minneapolis. New York is going to give
us some issues, and probably Boston by the end of
the day, but I think those are going to be
a little bit less than what we're seeing Minneapolis. Other
than that, across the country should be a very very
good day to fly, other than the late day pop
(18:58):
up thunderstorms. And if you are flying, please remember to
keep your seat belt fastened about your Turbulence is still
out there, especially this time of year. Had an American
Airlines flight last week. Five people taken to the hospital,
so they hit turbulence. The people and most of them
were the flight attendants. They were up serving at the time,
so can't do anything about them, but we can do
something about us when we're seated, So please keep those
(19:19):
seat belts.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Found sound advice from Jay ry Loff. Always a pleasure
having you on the program every Thursday.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Jay.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I look forward to next Thursday in another edition, and
I hope you have a fantastic weekend you too, my friend.
