WEBVTT - Pets and Jets with Nathan Koch - Tue 03 Jun, 2025 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.480 Lot of the airways. 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:08.239 Here is my request. You don't have to play, but 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:15.120 you'll do your best. I've been listening to Sure Ray 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.680 and you seem lack of friends. 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.520 Nathan Kosh with his backing group. 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.560 Yes here, I had to buy them dinner tonight. Yes, 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.480 it's getting expensive me coming in here. Yes, but it's 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.440 worth it. Isn't that they do so nice, don't they? 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.880 I think it is. Everyone should have a choir, Yes, 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.360 I think so. 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.199 We do the deep voice thing and you can mix it, 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.160 match it and do all that kind of stuff. 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.360 And now here's one of the ladies. Well, you know, 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.760 it's a little bit different, but anyway, we try and 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.680 match the voices up. I think it seems to work. Marvelous. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.640 How are you, Nate, I'm very well. I'm very well. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:55.240 I uh just had a well flew to Brisbane and back. Well, 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.120 depending where you are, either this morning or yesterday morning. Yeah, 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.800 of course we're here and everywhere. And we get a 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.280 line check, a flying check every two years. And I 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.200 did mine and everything went okay despite all the fun 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.800 and games that we had. Yeah, it's good, so I'm 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.319 good to go for another two years. 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.959 I was listening, I know I'm not supposed to say this, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.240 but I was listening to Kyle and Jackie. Oh what Well, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.760 I listened to the podcasts of bits and pieces of 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.280 their show, and last week, last week, a week before, 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.039 they did a series of calls where they were talking 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:31.640 to air hostesses flight attendants. Sorry, yeah, there were the 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.160 time sign Well most of them were hostesses and there 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.400 was one bloke who rang in for the segment, but 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.640 the rest were all women and they were just talking 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.720 about the things that the games they play, and some 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.520 of them I wouldn't discuss on here, but there was 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.760 one that I thought was good. On international flights, a 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.200 flight to some of the flight attendants play a game 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.120 called Where's the Cheese? And they get a little bit 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.880 of cheese while everyone's sleeping, and they put it on 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:02.040 a passenger's shoulder and then then they come back and 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.560 it's and then the other flight attendants have to go 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.360 and find the piece of cheese. 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.480 The things you learn, I'm here for two minutes and 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:12.520 I've already learned something. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.160 Well, so now you're up the front, you're up at 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.240 the point were flying. The thing you don't get. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.280 We miss all of that stuff. No, I've not heard 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:19.520 of that. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:19.760 No. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:24.040 It's a good game though, isn't it Just you know sometimes, 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.120 you know, when we're bored we get to play ice Spy. 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:27.320 But that has. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:32.840 Very Yeah, something beginning with this, yeah, something beginning with 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.079 them Moon. Yeah, with. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:41.320 Again Sky Yeah, that's it. Monty Python Horizon. Yes, Munty 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.800 Python did a sketch about that, which is very funny. 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.079 They were playing ice Spy and then Michael Palin, who 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.560 plays the steward, and you know, he comes in and 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.839 they go, okay, well let's you know, let's let's get 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.320 things going. It's all a bit quiet back there, yes, 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.120 and I think it was John Clees was the captain 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.799 and he goes, ladies and John, there is absolutely nothing 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.480 to worry about. Yes, And Michael Palin's looking out the door. Yes, 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.480 they're all starting to get agitated. Now again, ladies and gentlemen, 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.360 the left engine is not on fire and goes on 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.760 along those lines and everybody starts panicking in the cabin. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.840 Now wonderful. Having said that, let me say this. We 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.239 don't do stuff like that. No, we don't muck around 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:22.680 with people. 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.680 Do you do when you do make announcements? Though? Are 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.480 you allowed to have a bit of personality. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.800 Oh look, I tend not to because I have no personality, 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.520 but I do have a few of my colleagues that 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.760 are very good. But gee, I think well, as with 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.440 all comedy, you really have to be so very careful 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.160 and given that it's a professional sort of situation, one 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.000 needs to be very mindful. But there are those that 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.400 just have that happy knack of being able to say 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.280 funny stuff, and sadly that's not me. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.880 See if I were if I was the pilot, right, 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.520 if I were you and you're at Tullamarine Airport in 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:59.240 Melbourne and you're heading to Perth, I'd love to just say, 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.840 ladies and gentlemen, just like changing plans that they were 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.440 heading west to go to Perth, it's going to take 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.640 a little longer than usual, and just do that. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.880 You know, yes, well most people we've done it where 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.240 by mistake, you know you're going to Perth and you say, oh, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.320 well you know we're heading off to Sydney and whatever, 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.880 and you get you get no response. Nobody listens to 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.840 the so you can probably get away with any Many 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.279 many years ago, in a little airline where I used 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.640 to work before my current employee, I meant to say 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:27.400 you're heading east. 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:27.640 I know. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.000 No, it works if you say we're heading west anyway, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.800 just to make it sound like it's something unusual, and 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:34.960 then most people would. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.240 Go, I meant to say, I've just missed, completely missing. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.800 But it works the other way as well. See that's 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.640 the sign of a good joke that it works whether 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.440 you east or west. But yeah, and somebody decided they 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.880 were just going to do their whole pais Donald Duck. 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.359 No one commented, No one cared and listened anywhere. Yes, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.240 so it's probably a bit of room for latitude. But no, 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.760 I'm very mindful of not because the last thing I 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.360 want to do is offend anybody. 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.160 Or yeah, now, have you ever had what happens if 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.599 mid flight a flight attendant knocks on your door and says, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.200 we have an unruly passenger. Yes, whose job is that 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:13.880 to deal with the unruly passenger? 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.799 They do. The flight attendants do, and they're trained. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.600 Although we're all you don't get to come down with 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:19.159 your hat on. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.000 Look, no we don't. We don't get involved. We leave 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.080 it up to the flight attendants. And I think nowadays, 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:30.480 really since September eleven and what happened there that all 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.080 of a sudden, We've got on a aircraft one hundred 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.080 and eighty air marshals, yes, three passengers, and everybody's going 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.960 to get involved, whereas once upon a time they wouldn't. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.520 So it has happened. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.320 And yeah, because I could picture you walking down the 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.400 aisle with the captain's hat on and a parachute and say. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.320 You have a choice. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.240 That's how I handled the situation. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.080 Well, we don't have people are sitting down off do 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.440 we have parachutes? And no, we don't have parachutes, of 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:04.279 course not, but well one I'm not going to say, 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.680 but yeah, it's no. No, we have to leave it 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.160 to the flight attendants. We leave it to the cabin 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.680 crew to deal with everything and they will enlist help 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.560 or people will be will be helpful. And there was 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.719 a few years ago, I mean it was all over 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.560 the media. It's no secret about someone coming back from Bali, 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:26.120 what is it about Bali and was absolutely off their 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:30.480 head with something, and it took They had some army 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.080 personnel on board and they got involved as well, and 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.200 they had to keep this person subdued because for the 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.000 whole flight, and it wasn't long after take off, this 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.839 person was just absolutely off their head for whatever reason, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.240 be it mental health issue or some sort of chemical 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.920 and they had to basically sit on them and keep 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.320 them subdued for the whole flight to get them in. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.520 And they were going to diverting where there were reasons 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.120 why they didn't. They did a great job. But yeah, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.479 they had to keep this person under control. And we're 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.840 look them in the loo or some well, because we're 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.880 going to throw themselves around and do that. That's how 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.720 bad it was. So they essentially just had to just 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.080 hold hold them down for the whole flight. Wow. And 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.480 this person just had unlimited energy just just continue to 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.280 thresh around and be a danger to themselves and to 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:21.040 everyone around. 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.920 Wow. So but as the pilot, you get to just 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.800 turn the radio up and keep the door locked. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.960 We do, we do, indeed. But no, they're very well 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.920 trained and that's what they do. And you know, our 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.720 job is to fly the aeroplane and make sure we 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.560 get everybody back on the ground safely, and we leave 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.680 it to those behind the door to deal with what 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:40.360 they have to deal with. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.080 I've just never understood. You see social media posts and 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.120 stuff of people going getting angry on off float about 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:52.360 irrelevant stuff. You know, they're they're putting their bag above 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.840 my seat in the overhead locker. It shouldn't be above 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.360 my seat, and getting angry about it. You just do 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.000 you want to be thrown off the plane? 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.920 Is We're happy to oblige when people behave like that, 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.360 and I've had to do that a few times, But 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.040 generally I think it's that people might be nervous fliers 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.880 or stressed about where they're going, why they're going, that 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.080 sort of thing, and they just behave inappropriately because they've 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.600 just got all this tension and they're all wound up, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.360 and so they let it out in an inappropriate manner. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.240 But how many flights do you do each week? On average? Oh? 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.640 Very so, can be anything up to twenty. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.800 Yeah, and like on probably on almost every flight, nothing 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.040 ever happened. No, there's very little. Noah has ever. 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.400 What do they say? Our job is ours of sheer 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.559 board and punctuated by moments of sheer terrors. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.920 Yeah, one double three six nine three or one double 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.880 three eight eighty two. If you want to call in, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.199 Nathan costUS here for a while, looking forward to taking 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.960 your calls, and he is as well as talking airline stuff, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.240 which is what I generally talk about with Nathan. He 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.880 is also a qualified VET, so he's got an enormous 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.920 brain and you can quiz him on all manner of things. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.719 If you build me up too much, we're going to 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:07.360 let people down. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.200 Well I could if I spent the next ten years 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.199 of my life, I could never qualify to be a 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:16.160 VET or a pilot litt alone both you could do both. No, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:17.000 put your mind to it. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.600 Ten years done. No, I'll start training tomorrow. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.400 Jay and I were talking earlier off here about the 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.520 stuff goes in one ear and out the other with us. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.560 So I've passed the age of learning. I don't take 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:28.520 anything in anymore. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.880 Well, it's, as someone once pointed out, it's because as 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.960 you get older, your brain becomes full, so that when 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.120 one piece of information goes in, it pushes something else out. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:38.560 Yeah. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.480 And the trouble is you don't know what's been pushed 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:41.600 out until you need. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.199 It, until you get What gets pushed out every day 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:45.840 for me is where I put my car keys. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.720 Yes, that's why they have these whistling ALARMI things for 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:50.319 car keys. 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.600 Yeah, and air tag things as well, just in case 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.600 you've left them in the car. Exactly a break and 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.439 back with your calls. Oh they're coming through now. I 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.960 got on your Lenen, Peter and others. We can see 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.360 the lines wringing there with you all. Very soon we're back. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.360 Nathan Kosch is here, and Nathan was about to ask 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:08.880 me a question. Is that for an air or off? 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.240 It's just it's it's it's nothing. It would be too 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.439 boring for Annie.

I mean, there's 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.840 no way you'd sit in one without a seat belt. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:32.240 No, no, exactly. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.760 Yeah, but speaking of and I'll. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.280 Tell you what, Mike, you did some great aas I'll 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.400 tell you I reckon. You've been there for a while, haven't. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.560 You coming up for twenty five years now? 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:46.280 Nineties? 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.920 No, not yet, not yet. I was flying but not 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.280 with not with I was still in the general aviation, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.480 building up my hours, getting my experience doing the different 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.280 jobs that we have to do before we get on. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:00.520 Like Simon working in country radio. Yeah, same sort of 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:01.640 thing you do your apprenticeship. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.760 But I didn't do a lot of domestic raft anyway. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.400 Were working international. 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.120 Yes, I started off in international and the jumbos for 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.240 three years, and then came to domestic. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.560 What what what jumbo? 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:17.160 Are you flying? 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.320 The classic jumbos? The old ones? It's with a well 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.800 for those in the two hundred and three hundreds in 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.720 the sps, but the old ones still had a flight engineer, 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.440 and when we started as second officers we had to 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.280 do a flight engineer's license as well, So I was 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.760 sitting in the flight engineer's seat flipping switches and pushing buttons. 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.920 They were a very very manual aeroplane. These days, everything's 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.840 all done by computers. Flight engineers no longer exist, except 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.880 in the Russian aircraft. They have lots of flight. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.200 Engineers, all right, tall cross crowds somewhere. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.560 Along and now. I started in two thousand. 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:56.560 Two thousand, yeah, yeah, well in what and carrying tracks 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:03.000 international in eighty four and through two thousand. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:03.800 And seven there you go. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:04.600 Yeah, there you go. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.280 So we might have crossed paths somewhere. I was in 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.560 the International in two thousand and from two thousand to 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.320 two thousand and three. But just bringing up that the bell, Bell, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.240 helicopters and MASH. It was sad news this week that 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.080 Loretta Swit passed away. 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.040 Yeah, very sad, Thank you, Lynn, I appreciate the call. Yes, 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.679 very sad. Hot lips all the hands. Yes, I mentioned 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.879 yesterday there were two there were two particular scenes of 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.840 hers in MASH that I just thought were just just 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.360 showed what a great actress she was. There was an 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.720 episode where she had a falling out with the nurses 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:41.120 because they never invited her to their games, they never 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.520 offered her a cup of coffee or whatever, and she 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.680 felt really sort of ostracized from the rest of the 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.200 nurses just because she was the boss. Yes, So there's 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.920 an episode where she has quite a breakdown over that, 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.560 and I thought she was marvelous. That made me bore 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.639 my eyes out. And there's another episode where there was 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.600 a dog, a stray dog that had gone into camp, Yes, 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.560 and she heard that the dog had been hit by 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.399 a jeep and died, and she lost it over that 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.800 and again just such fantastic acting. And that's the like 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:14.560 the serious yes here jerking acting, but comic comic wise, 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:15.840 she was fantastic as well. 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:17.919 But that was the beauty of Mash, wasn't it that? 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:22.520 You know? It would go from laughing hysterically to a moment, 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.840 and often it was Radarr O'Reilly who changed the mood. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.120 They'd all be laughing and carrying on and having mud 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.000 fights and doing whatever, and then he'd stop and get 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.960 up and prick his ears up and you know, say choppers, 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.400 and then everyone had get up and go and clean 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.159 themselves up because they were wounded coming in, so they 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.119 could really switch the mood. The writing was brilliant, the 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.159 acting was amazing, and that's why it's still on TV 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:48.320 all these years later. 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.800 Yeah, great series, and Hawk I pretty much just a 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.600 clone of Groucho Marks. Yes, but what a great job 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:59.880 Elean Elder did of it, didn't he? Yeah? Great character, yes, exactly. 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.920 All right, a break back with more calls in a moment, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:06.040 Peter and Arthur, you'll be next. It's twenty five to 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.040 one in Melbourne, twenty five to eleven in Perth, and 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:13.439 in Adelaide five after midnight. Nathan Cosh is here talking 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.119 Pets and jets and we're taking your calls. Peter's in 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:16.840 talking for you. 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:21.680 Nathan, Good Peter, Yeah, good, Good morning guys. Nathan. Look, 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.320 I'm unfortunate enough to go and fly the simulators a 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:29.359 few times. I'm not a pilot, and I explain to people. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.000 Everybody's heard it, but a lot of people don't understand it. 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.560 You know when you say armed doors at unarmed doors? Yes, 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.280 and people who's all got to do about the slide 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.760 in the door. In a couple of years, one of 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.200 the slides actually got deployed on the jets Jet when 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.720 it landed at tullim Ring there and everybody's heard it, 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.679 but nobody understands about it. 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.800 Yes, Well, the doors they can either open, just open 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.240 as is, or they can open and deploy their slide. 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.520 So when we pull up at the g and when 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.879 the caterers are coming in everything, obviously it's not a 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.680 good idea to have the slide deploy And it has 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.000 happened around the world at various times, and people have 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.840 been killed because you can imagine this slide that the 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.439
