seventy four winds northeast five ten miles an hour, no
clouds outstanding.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I need more fur on my mittens.

was like in gloves and and ski when they came in. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Oh forty nine, which is two degrees warmer than we

Speaker 5 (01:59):
Yeah, that was are like early morning low.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, you man, you guys, I don't know how you
make it. I just don't know how you survive.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
We're rough out here, you know, we're mountain.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Men over there in the tundra. That is LA.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Breaking News from ABC Los Angeles.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
It's chilly today.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Back to our regular schedule program.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, uh so, Sean duffy is has a message.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
You know, Chuck and I were lamenting.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Remember what it was like once upon a time when
you flew it was like a it was it was.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Like a special thing. People dressed up and.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Maybe more so, I don't know how old you guys are,
but I don't remember people really dressing up like back
in the six hands.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
But yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, I mean it's so much now.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
It looks like about fifty to eighty percent of the
plane looks like they just rolled out of bed, still
have their bed, the clothes they were sleeping in.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
They still especially if you're going.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
On an early morning, like a five or six am. Yeah,
it looks like everybody just did.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
They're still in most it looked like they're coming back
from a Jimmy Buffett concert from twelve years ago.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
And then you know two with this as far as
Sean Duffy saying, you know, dressed nicely, say thank you
when you fly. It doesn't cost anything to be nice,
as they say with regard to dealing with and I
was even saying Alex that when I see people on
planes and any kind of you know, dust up begins

(03:24):
most of the time. It feels to me like the
person that works for the airlines, you know, they got
this thing that happened during the mask where you had
to wear the mask, and I feel like they start
it half the time you just have to like take
it though, or you're gonna get kicked off the plane.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's that simple. Interested by the way, usually too.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
So yeah, I mean, I think this whole campaign seems
like it's gonna be totally mocked by Saturday Night Live
just the way that it went out. But what they
did today is kick this thing off. They're calling it
the Golden Age of Travel starts with you. And in
this video making the announcement, they started with images and
sounds of the nineteen fifties and sixties, where air travel
was luxurious and people got all fancy when they went

(04:04):
on airplanes, saying hey, let's go back.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
To this, come fly with me, let's fly in.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
It looked amazing and there was you know, a lot
of room on airplanes and big meals and everything. Then
it evolves in this video into the fights that are
on board planes today.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
And everything they we're dealing with now.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
So this campaign is calling on all of us to
restore courtesy and class to air travel, they say for
the safety of passengers, gate workers, flight attendants, and pilots.
The DOT says this is because of a four hundred
percent increase in in flight outbursts and unruly passengers since
twenty nineteen. Now, I think a big chunk of those
we're going to be during all that COVID massive stuff
where we were every day reporting on unruly passengers and

(04:45):
people fighting. It's not as big of a deal any longer.
But still, yeah, people are not dressing appropriately and they're
rude and everything else. But Duffy in the video, which
has an old classic filter over it, says he wants
you to ask yourself some questions the next time you fly.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Are you helping a pregnant woman put her bag in
the overhead bind are you dressing with respect? Are you
keeping control of your children? Are you saying thank you.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
To your fight attendants in your pallets.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Are you saying please and thank you?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yes, general, Yes.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
The golden age of travel begins with you.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
So I think that's what you're gonna see on SNL. Right,
there is that clip, But the department says it's committed
ushering in a.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Golden age of travel again.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
They want the excitement and the manners and the relaxation
to come back. I think you're gonna have a lot
of people who are saying good luck that went away
a long time ago, the genies out of the bottle.
That people who are going to be rude or dressing
their leisure wear right out of bed are not going
to be listening to Sean Duffy, But nonetheless they're putting
it out there. I think we all want people to
be nice on board, and I would argue the airlines

(05:45):
have a role to play in this as well, as
they have squeezed in more and more seats, the smaller seats,
no food service even on a lot of flights now
they'll tell you we don't have time for drink service
and you're like, yeah, we do. We're on an hour
and a half flight. That there are accoutrements that have
disappeared over time and niceness and speed to get the

(06:06):
plane in and out, and so many flights that they're
doing every day that they're tired. So I think that
this is kind of a two way street. But nonetheless,
the Department Transportation wants passengers to class it up a
little bit and be nice to one another and create
a better atmosphere on board plane.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Let me susplain tell you how you can do this.
We've got air marshals for security. You have airlines courtesy
cops who are sitting they are they're not uniformed or whatever,
and you riding on our airline when you show a courtesy,
don't be surprised if a courtesy cop comes up and
gives you and could be like a token for you know,

(06:44):
one free airfare with purchase of another or something like
that for future travel. Things like that. People, when people
get something, they are much more apt to give you
what you want.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I've been in school getting a sticker.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yes, well, I think that ship sailed a long time ago.
It will never come back. And the reason it won't
is you cited all of those reasons, Alex. People who
fly are buying large told you know, hurry up, you're
sitting here.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Shut up. It doesn't matter if it's hot on this plane.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
You'll sit on this tar if you want a window,
which which results in never, It results in you may
be staring at a wall instead of.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, there needs to be another window that comes back
to the flyer, to the people, and in return, as
your favorite airline, we're going to this customer pledge that
we're giving you because yeah, people are gonna want something
in return. They're gonna want you to say please and
thank you as well.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I mean flying has become so
commonplace for people now that it's no longer special. I
don't know how you would return that back. I still
am one who loves to look out the window and
just kind of it's it's amazing to me that we
can fly. But there are a lot of people who
never put that window shade up. It doesn't matter to them.
This is a bus. Get me where I want to go.

(07:57):
You know, I paid for this seat, Get me, and
I want to be.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
A good experience.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
So you've got different reasons why people are there, different
feelings about why they're there as well.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
And uh, it's an uphill battle.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
But but they're gonna try, and they're saying, hey, dress
it up and be nicer to be.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, man, Alex Stone, ABC News from Los Angeles, Alex,
thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I do remember the Airport movie. You gotta text you guys.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Sorry man, thank you.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's like they had the seven forty sevens with a
cocktail lounge upstairs. I want those.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, those huge that basically was like a hotel with wings.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
See you had no choice but to be classy on
something like that.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
See.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, those, And they can't have all of those in
their fleet, you know, because those are thinking about it's
not cost effective unless it's packed.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
But I but I.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
In Saudi's investing a trillion in something. Maybe they'll bring
those back.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Maybe
