1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Can you know how you avoid flying the lays? How's that?

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 2: Rob?

3
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,479
Speaker 1: I just don't get on an airplane.

4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 3: You noticed, who's not hearing a panic about the lack

5
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 3: of air traffic controllers?

6
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: You me? Yeah, you know why why I don't get

7
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: on an airplane?

8
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

9
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 3: You, on the other hand, I know you're horrible timing.

10
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: What horrible timing?

11
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: So I am set to take a few days off

12
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: next week, and.

13
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: The plan is to get on a plane tomorrow out.

14
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: Of Indianapolis, a connector in Nashville, and fly down to

15
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: Fort Lauderdale.

16
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I think maybe I'm going to

17
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: have a weekend in Nashville instead. Yeah, look at yourself.

18
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: If that flight happens, you're.

19
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 3: In a cold sweat panic over here. And me, I'm

20
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: just sitting back here having a good old time, not

21
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: worried about anything as it relates to traveling. Well, one

22
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: because I don't travel, but two two, yeah, I don't

23
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: get on airplanes.

24
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

25
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: So this is a typical trip that I take this

26
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: time of year. Meet my brother and my sister in

27
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: law down there. They live in Washington, d C. And

28
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: you know, we celebrate Veterans Day with them, and I've

29
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: got the big wedding anniversary coming up, so this is

30
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: an annual thing for us. And I was texting my

31
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: sister in law this morning. I said, so, what's Plan B. Yeah,

32
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: and she kind of said, yeah.

33
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: No, there is no Plan B.

34
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: So the FAA has plans to cut airline capacity by

35
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: ten percent in what they call forty high volume areas.

36
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: And the move is in response to the shortage of

37
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: air traffic controllers who are working currently without pay during

38
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: our government shutdown.

39
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: So wait always say if they're working, they must not

40
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 3: be working, because if they were actually working.

41
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of them are calling in sick or

42
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: that was not showing up. That's and the supervisors have

43
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: been covering for the employees and they're saying they're just

44
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: stretched tooth in.

45
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: At this point, the.

46
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Cuts are supposed to begin tomorrow, and the White House

47
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: Press secretary, she said, it's just going to get worse

48
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: from here.

49
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: It is ridiculous that we have even gotten to the

50
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: place and that the Democrats have continued to shut down

51
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: the government with thirty five days our air traffic controllers

52
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: continuing to work unpaid, every single major airline in our

53
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: country coming out and begging the Democrats to please reopen

54
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: the government.

55
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: And you had a.

56
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: Democrat staffer who was quoted, I believe in Politico a

57
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: few weeks back saying, short of planes falling out of

58
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: the sky, we are not going to reopen the government.

59
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: That is a reckless and dangerous statement from someone who

60
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: didn't want to put their name on that statement. But

61
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: we know it came from the Democrat party, and I

62
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: think we're very clear we want to reopen the government

63
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: so we can resume travel in the safest and most

64
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: efficient way possible, especially as we head into the busiest

65
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 4: travel season of the month. We have Thanksgiving in a

66
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 4: few weeks.

67
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: So forty six percent of flights were delayed yesterday and

68
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Airport is one of the airports that is on

69
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: the list for cuts.

70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so aren't you nervous?

71
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to say, I mean, not to

72
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: talk about your flight not getting off and up into

73
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: the air, but aren't you a tad.

74
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Worried about the safety?

75
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: Well?

76
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: Right, I mean you got f your people, you got

77
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: tired people, you get overworked people. Yeah, yeah, I mean

78
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: aren't you sitting there just a little hesitant, like Okay,

79
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: even if you're not a person who has a phobia

80
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: flying like me, that you're just like, maybe this is

81
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: the best time to pull this off.

82
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I am no, Yes, I am nervous about it,

83
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: which is why I was texting my sister in law

84
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: this morning saying, oh, what's plan B And she said,

85
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: we have faith there is.

86
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: No plan bing. Oh and I don't know.

87
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,040

00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: he just said, be ready for.

89

Speaker 1: Anything this weekend. So that's that's the plan. Fingers Cross.

90
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: Has your husband ever actually gotten mad about anything?

91
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Yes?

Speaker 2: he has been invited to visit them in another city

106

Speaker 3: I'm very compelling until you get to know me, and

108
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,320
