A couple of them were just really interesting. Please, 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: if you've missed the eight o'clock hour any night, go 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: back and look.

There may be something that you have 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: no interest in, but that's going to be in ten minutes. 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: We'll be on to a different topic once we get 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: to the nine o'clock hour. Like tonight, we talked about 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: the legal battle that is that's only going to get 19 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 2: bigger at the State House with State Auditor die intos 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: Auglio and the state legislature refusing to follow the will 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 2: of that initiative petition, that ballot question from twenty twenty 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: four and seventy of Massachusetts. I got an email today 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: from someone I have no idea who the person was. Duane, 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: you go to get off that case. Got to get 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: off that case. You know. I want to say, you know, 26 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: if if you really believe that, you know, identify yourself. 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: Tell me why you think that's not important. What part 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: of state government do you work in? Are you in 29 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: the legislature? So it's what I think people don't understand. 30 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: And I mean this honestly when I say this to you, 31 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: is that, first of all, if you miss certain hours 32 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: of nights side that was a great hour with my 33 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: guest last hour, and when people like Harvey Silverglade and 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: others take the opportunity make the effort to call in 35 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: Bill and Vermont was an excellent, excellent caller, a perfect 36 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: caller to end the hour on. And we'll continue to 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: follow that case. These are hard stories to tell, okay, 38 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know if you 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: can understand. We start trying to put the show together 40 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 2: at nine o'clock in the morning, nine to nine thirty. 41 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: That's that's the regiment that I follow with Marita, the 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: daytime producer of the program. She's working in the eight 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: o'clock hour. I'm working on the nine to ten and 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: the eleven o'clock hour. And again, I do it because 45 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: I enjoy it. Okay, if I didn't enjoy it, I 46 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: certainly wouldn't do it. But when we can put a 47 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: show together like tonight, these two hours really worked. And 48 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: believe me, it's not the number of calls that convinced 49 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: me in our works. Veronica, what was just an extraordinary guest. 50 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: She was recommended to me, and she exceeded expectations. I 51 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: knew she was a great lawyer, but she also is 52 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: a great presenter, and and that's important. And to have 53 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: Mike Minogue the republic one of the three Republican candidates 54 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: running for governor who attempted to financially support and pay 55 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: for the lawyers that Diana Desaglio would need to to 56 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: get the state Supreme Court to actually tell the legislature 57 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: to follow the law seems pretty simple anyway. I I'd 58 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: like to to open up a different topic here, but 59 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: by the way, if I could just for a moment, 60 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: remind you that we have a special website is called 61 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: Nightside and Demand dot Com. Rob is in charge of that, 62 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: and every night after the show, Rob posts the hours 63 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: the eight to nine to ten and the eleven on 64 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: Nightside on Demand. So if you miss an hour or 65 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: you're kimming late and you say, gee, that sounds interesting, 66 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: Sorry I missed it, Rob will have the eight to 67 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: nine to ten and the eleven from tonight posted at 68 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: Nightside on Demand, probably by two o'clock two thirty in 69 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: some cases earlier than that. He basically strips the hour down, 70 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: gets rid of the commercials, and so he reduces forty 71 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: and gets rid of the newscast as well, basically breaks 72 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: the sixty minute hour down. We're about forty one or 73 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: forty two minutes of calls and conversation. There are a 74 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: couple of ads you have to listen to because that's 75 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: how the company makes money.

And then on Wednesday 97 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: night at ten o'clock, we will have Guy Winch, who 98 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: was one of our eight o'clock guests a week or 99 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 2: so ago, talking about mind over grind, sort of how 100 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: do you get past some of the difficult circumstances that 101 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: you faced during the day, and we all go through 102 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 2: a grind during the day. Whatever you do, I don't 103 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: care who you are, So those will try to keep 104 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: you up to date on the guests that we have upcoming. 105 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 2: Now here's what I want to do this hour. I 106 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: want to kick I want to put my feet up, 107 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: and I want to pose a couple of questions to 108 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: you about airline travel. As you know, I was away 109 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 2: for a few days over the weekend, and I'm not 110 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: going to go into any great detail about where I 111 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: was or anything like that, because it's frankly my business 112 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: and I get to take my vacation time. But I 113 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 2: had a couple of airline trips, one from Boston to 114 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: where I was for a few days and back. And 115 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: here's my question. Would you agree with me that people 116 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: who run airlines should be smart people. I mean, when 117 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: you think you get on an airplane and you put 118 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,119 Speaker 2: your life and your family LIFs in the hands of 119 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: the mechanics, the people who during the wintertime de ice 120 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: the planes, and of course the cockpit crew, but you 121 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: also put your hands into the leadership of the company, 122 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: whether again it's a delta flight or an American, United, 123 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: Jet Blue, It doesn't matter. Okay, My question is this 124 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: I have noticed. Do you remember when you used to 125 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: be able to check your bags for free. You could 126 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: check one bag, you know, a suitcase when you were 127 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: going somewhere. And then the airlines came up with the 128 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: brilliant idea, let's charge them extra for checking the bags. 129 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: So bags that used to be routinely checked for free, 130 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: you know, as long as they were under a certain weight. 131 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: I mean, if they weighed one hundred and twenty pounds, 132 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: you couldn't check them for free. But as long as 133 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: they were normal sized bags and you weren't carrying you know, bricks, whatever, 134 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: you checked your bags. So the airline said, you know what, 135 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: we could make twenty five bucks a bag. So therefore, 136 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: when people check in, if they want to check a suitcase, 137 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: they pay an extra twenty five dollars. So I can 138 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 2: just see these guys at the business meetings, at the 139 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: board meetings at whichever airline they started with. Brilliant idea, 140 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: brilliant idea, Yeah, they'll pay an extra twenty five dollars 141 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: because if they're going to go on vacation, they have 142 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 2: to bring some clothes or change it clothes with them, 143 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: don't you think so? Fred ops slowly, bob twenty five 144 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: dollars check bag. Fine, what do you think the public did? 145 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: I know what the public did. The public said, Hey, 146 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: I'm not going to pay an extra twenty five dollars 147 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: for check bag. All I'm going to do is I'm 148 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: going to carry it on with me. So now the 149 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: bags that are being carried on to the airlines are 150 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 2: getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And sometimes people bring 151 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: on a check bag a suitcase. It's you know, it's 152 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 2: not a huge suitcase. It's not like suitcase when you're 153 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: moving away from home. No, it's nice size suitcase, fits 154 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: in the overhead rack, doesn't cost anything. And yeah you 155 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: carry another bag. You got another bag, you got a 156 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 2: shoulder bag, maybe get a backpack whatever. Okay, So the 157 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: airlines outthink themselves and they think they're going to make 158 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: more money. But all they're going to do now is 159 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,359 Speaker 2: cause people like you and me airline travelers more aggravation. 160 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: But they say that that's not enough. Here's what we 161 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: got to do. Let's do this. We got to take 162 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: care of the people who up in first class or business. 163 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: Assuming that this first class in business owner, because not 164 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: all flights have business in first class and they pay 165 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: more money, so we're gonna let them board first. That's 166 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 2: a good idea, okay, But here's how we're going to 167 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: drive the people and coach totally bonkers. What we're going 168 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: to do is instead of loading people, you know, at 169 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 2: the back end of the plane first, so that let's 170 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: say there's fifty rows in coach, that's reasonable, fifty rows, well, 171 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: the last rows forty to fifty, they should get on first. 172 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 2: They march on, they walk down the aisle unencumbered, they 173 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: put their luggage in the overhead racks. Next we put 174 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: on the next group of people who are seated in 175 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: rows thirty to forty. They march in. They're not the 176 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: first class and the business class. They're all seated. And 177 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 2: then we do the people from twenty to thirty, and 178 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: then we do the people from ten to twenty, and 179 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: then we do the people from one to ten and 180 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: everything goes smoothly. No, we're not gonna do that. No, 181 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: we're gonna drive our travelers totally nuts. We will have 182 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: the first group of people who are gonna board row 183 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: one through ten, and then shortly thereafter we're gonna call 184 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: the second zone ten through twenty, and then right after 185 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: that we're gonna call the people in twenty through thirty. 186 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: So there's gonna be a huge traffic jam, and that 187 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: first group of people, they're gonna have a tough time 188 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: putting the luggage up over the overhead racks. They're not 189 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: gonna know what seat they're in, and it's just gonna 190 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: delay the flight from starting. Why would any airline do that? 191 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: Is there any airline that you know of other than 192 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: some small little private airline. Okay, now if you're flying 193 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: out a Hanscom that's a different story. But normal airlines 194 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: out of Manchester and TF Green and Logan Airport. I'll 195 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 2: expand on this, but in the meantime, I think you 196 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 2: get the drift six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty. 197 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: Is there a more stupid way to load an airplane 198 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 2: then they currently load an airplane with passengers and their bags. 199 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: It is insane in my opinion, and all it does 200 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: it delays the planes from pushing off the gate. Uh 201 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: you wonder why people go nuts. I saw a guy 202 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: tonight on a plane somewhere. They had to walk them 203 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 2: off in handcuffs. How would the light to be on 204 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: one of those planes. Here's the numbers six one, seven, two, 205 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: five four ten thirty six one seven, nine, three one 206 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: ten thirty. If anybody has had an airline flight recently 207 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: where they boarded, I'm not talking about people walking up 208 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: the backstairs. I'm talking about people who are boarding from 209 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: the front of the plane. Put the people on the back, 210 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 2: they go first, and then they can play all the 211 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 2: the take all the time they want, putting overhead, finding 212 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 2: their seats, figuring out what movies they're good to watch. 213 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 2: Six one seven, two thirty six, one seven, nine three, 214 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: ten thirty. My name is Dan Ray, and this is Nightside. 215 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: Let's try to help the airlines run their business properly. 216 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: Coming back on night Side. 217 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on wz Boston's 218 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: news radio. 219 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: Now again, I want to hear from you on this one. 220 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: I figured out why the airline executives do this backwards, 221 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: and they bored the people at the the front of 222 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: the plane. If it's coaching business class rather if it's 223 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: business in first class, yeah, I gotta give those people 224 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: a priority. I get it. They paid more for the tickets, 225 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: I get that. But for those of us who are 226 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: flying back and coach. We treat us, don't treat us 227 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 2: like wolrons, treat us like human beings and allow us 228 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: to get on the plane efficiently, get into our seats. 229 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: The reason why the executives and the people who are 230 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: running the show have decided how they're gonna do. They 231 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: never fly coach, They're always flying. Give me the top 232 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: executives at the airlines. You think they've sat and coach recently? 233 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: I don't think so. And of course, by the way, 234 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: whenever the planes land, I love where if you know 235 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: you're sitting somewhere in row twenty three A or something 236 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: like that, and everybody's like jumping up like they're gonna 237 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: get off in two minutes. You're not gonna get off 238 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: in two minutes. I mean even once they get to 239 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: the gate, it's gonna take them time to open the gate. 240 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: You can get up, but you can't move anywhere. Come 241 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: on six seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, nine, 242 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: three one ten thirty. Jack is in Newton, Hey, Jack, 243 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: welcome back. How are you Jack? 244 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: How you're doing? Jack Furd Well, I take a lot 245 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: of flights over Steeves two about forty fifty countries as 246 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: opposed to it within the United States. You overseas flights 247 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: that KLM or Delta, you know, are really excellent, fantastic. 248 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 3: I haven't have that a little problem when I double 249 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: booked because sometimes, you know, I'm getting older and everything 250 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: is online. So I have two seven hundred and eighty 251 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 3: five dollars one way tickets to the honest But it's 252 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: really hard to get the money there. But to get 253 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 3: to your question about, you know, the seating, I think 254 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: it's big, you know, isn't it, because they get money, 255 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 3: you know, more money for the people who sit up front. 256 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: But they have to do that. I think they have 257 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 3: sections like that, you know, Sextion one or ABC, because 258 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 3: otherwise everyone would just rush in there and it would 259 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: be chaotics. 260 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I get Jack. I'm with you. I'm 261 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: with you on that. And I will grant you that 262 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 2: if you're on a plane and there's going to be 263 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: a business class or a first class, whatever you want 264 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: to call it, and they're going to pay a little extra, 265 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: they get a little extra leg room and the seats 266 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: are a little more comfortable. You're going to take care 267 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: of those people, no problem, no problem. But the issue 268 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: is when you're talking about all the coach seats and 269 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: let's say this, it's fifty rows. What doesn't it make 270 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: sense to say, okay, the first group of people who 271 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: are allowed to board other people who are sitting in 272 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: the in the rows that most woods the back. 273 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 3: I agree with you. I mean, that's true. 274 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: You know, that's all I'm talking about. 275 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: I agree, I agree. 276 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: Everybody's interest. 277 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: It's another you know, you're right, it's another way to 278 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: make money. I once took a Norwegian flight from from 279 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: Norway well to Boston. Then I was really shocked and 280 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: upset that, you know, they charged me for you know, 281 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: one or two bags, you know, and that's a lot 282 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 3: of money. They're just trying to find all kinds of ways. 283 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: So what people are doing now is they have these 284 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 3: special bags. It almost like a backpack with a stroller, 285 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: but there has to be a certain size and a 286 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: certain way carry it on. And you know what. The 287 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: good thing about that is you get off faster and 288 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: you get to your destination enough to wait for your baggage. 289 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: So well that is that's the other benefit. But they 290 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: used to allow you to put one bag on and 291 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: you know, as long as it was normal weight. If 292 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: it was one hundred and fifty pounds, they charged you extra. 293 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: But if it was under whatever the weight was forty 294 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: or fifty pounds or you know, thirty kilogram kilos which 295 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: is thirty two times two something like fifty five or something. 296 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: You go, you know, you're gone for free. But they said, 297 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: let's charge your money. Well, what are the average person 298 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: going to do. They're gonna pay for a bag. They're 299 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: gonna carry an extra bag on the plane. And I've 300 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: watched some people, you know, they slam a jama, a 301 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: huge suitcase in the overhead rack, and. 302 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 3: It's another problem. They're two big and the airline hostess 303 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 3: SERTs are trying to move things around, and you're sitting 304 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 3: and row twenty three and your bag is written roll 305 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 3: fifty four yeah or whatever, yeah, all over the place and. 306 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: Yeah and by the way, jack, that's it. You just 307 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 2: hit a great example. If you're in road twenty three 308 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: and your bag somehow is back at like say row 309 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 2: forty four, you have to wait for everybody to get 310 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: off the plane, so you get back and get your bag. 311 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, right, which is another reason why people who 312 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: were in the back rows should be given the chance 313 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: to board first. 314 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: I think I don't think they do surveys and actually 315 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 3: talk to us, you know what I mean. They're just 316 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 3: making up stuff, you know, to get more money out 317 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: of us and the poor airline, you know, the host 318 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: that says have to do a lot of work. And 319 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 3: also it is true, I get a little bit worried 320 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 3: about some crazy people on board, you know. 321 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: I mean, did you see that guy tonight? There was 322 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: a video. 323 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 3: Do don't don't lean against the door?

We've got to take 356 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: a break at the bottom of the hour. But I 357 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: want to talk to women on this one, because you 358 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 2: know the bags that everybody's carrying, they're heavier, I mean, 359 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: and you got to put him up in the overhead rack. 360 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: And there are a lot of people who don't have 361 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: the physical strength. And then if you happen to be 362 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: standing there, you stay end up and you kind of 363 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 2: bent over and you're looking up waiting for the line 364 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: to move and someone pulls down. I'm always amazed that 365 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: more people don't suffer fractured skulls when the when person 366 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: pulls the bag down and they it pops off someone's head. 367 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 4: I mean. 368 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 2: Six seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven 369 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: nine three one ten thirty For those of you who 370 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 2: were under fifty. Air travel was not always this way. 371 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: Air travel has become bus travel, Uh, the equivalent of 372 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: what bus travel used to be. You used to actually 373 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: get dressed up, like wear a jacket a tie. Not anymore. 374 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: Everybody is doing whatever they can to be as comfortable 375 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: as possible because the seats are smaller, and you always 376 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: get seated next to the person whose elbows have to 377 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 2: extend like that. I just think that, as I said, 378 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 2: if there's someone out there who can answer for me, 379 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: why are the airlines so dumb that they don't board 380 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: the planes properly. Everybody jumps up because you want to 381 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: get on and and you're you're you're blocking other people 382 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 2: from getting by you. They should say, look, we ask 383 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: you all to sit. We're going to do this, you know, intelligently, 384 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: and you can board people more quickly if everybody sits 385 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: and everybody listens. Uh, and you bored the people at 386 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: the back of the plane first. It is a simple, 387 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: simple suggestion.

You'd fly out in 413 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: the morning, like at nine o'clock and you'd have a 414 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: full breakfast.

You'd get a sandwich 423 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 5: if you wanted it. Yeah, I forget how you ordered it. 424 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 5: Maybe before you even bought it. You chuck up what 425 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 5: you wanted, But now you're lucky. You get a bag 426 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: of peanuts with two or three peanuts, and I don't 427 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 5: even care if I get any food. I'll leap before 428 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 5: I get on the plane, you know, and things like that. 429 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 5: And why if I'm in row twenty three, that area. 430 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: Up above me should be mine, not somebody else. 431 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 5: If I paid for that seat, that should be mine. 432 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely throw a bag, you know, Oh absolutely. I saw 433 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 2: a guy who was let's say he was ten rows 434 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 2: ahead of me, so I don't know if he was 435 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: in row twenty and my bags were like which I 436 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 2: was in row thirty something or twenty seven and was 437 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: way back forty four. Because there's no system to it, 438 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: it makes no sense, and they could have a flight 439 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: attendant there. They would say to people, Hey, if you're 440 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: in back of the plane, you bought it first, don't 441 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: put your bags up over you know, seat fourteen and 442 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: you're in seat forty seven. Some people will do that 443 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 2: because what they want to be able to do is 444 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 2: they don't want to have to pull their bag all 445 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: the way, so they want to be a walk you know. 446 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 5: Now, My sister in Bloop and Donta for thirty five years, 447 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 5: she'd be tired about five years ago.

Oh yeah, yeah, 495 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: you know, so there's a few seats up in first class. 496 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 2: You know, the first people you walk by they got 497 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 2: a little more elbow room. Okay, maybe there's a business class, 498 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 2: but after that it's all coach. 499 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I've said that so many times 500 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 4: to these people, and they just they just don't listen 501 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 4: to you. And when you when you, like you said, 502 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 4: when you do that, then the overhead bits fill up. 503 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 4: And guess what, it's the guy with the bag in all. 504 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 3: The way in the back of the plane. 505 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 4: You have to take to the front of the plane 506 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 4: and then put it under the plane. 507 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: Which delays things because you can't take off without the 508 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: guy's bag. Yeah. The other well, the other thing which 509 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: I which I started to mention, is the person who 510 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: comes on with the extra big bag. Okay, it's they 511 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: were able to sneak it by the people at the gate, 512 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: and okay, so they bring it on. They have nowhere 513 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 2: to put it. It won't fit under the seat in 514 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 2: front of them, and it won't fit into the overhead rack. 515 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: So what they do is they put it up in 516 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 2: the overhead rack. They try to turn it a couple 517 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: of ways. Doesn't fit. Now this lamb and the door, 518 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: but the bag is extending like two and a half 519 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 2: three inches. It doesn't have to extend much. No matter 520 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 2: how how hard you smash that plastic overhead door, it's 521 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: never gonna close, right. 522 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, the customer service and flight attendants is just afraid 523 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 4: to speak up because people are so rude and I'm 524 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 4: nonxious that, you know, you see the stuff on the 525 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 4: news is crazy. 526 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: No, And I think, look the other thing too, and 527 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: this is the truth, is that the the flight attendants, 528 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 2: whether they're men or women, they they they could, they 529 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: should be a little tougher with people. I mean, I 530 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: remember coming back the other night. I was in one 531 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: of those rows with the door, you know, the the 532 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: escape door. So the flight attendant came up and she said, 533 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 2: you're going to be able to handle and I looked 534 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: at her. It was like, yeah, I can handle that, 535 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I'm not a whimp. But you 536 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 2: said no, I need a verbal, you know, affirmation. So 537 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 2: it wasn't good enough for me to shake my head 538 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: or to smile. So I said absolutely yes, But which 539 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: was good because I thought to myself that if I 540 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: wasn't in that row and some person couldn't open the 541 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: door or couldn't get the door out of the way, 542 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: you know, you got to be ready. You kind of 543 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 2: assume that you're not going to be on a flight 544 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: that has a problem. 545 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, Plus that that role is usually a lot of 546 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 4: leg room. I get that roll a lot because they worked. 547 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 2: For Yeah, you know, it didn't have a lot of 548 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: to be honest with you, but they were multiple Yeah, 549 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 2: some of them don't. Oh yeah, if you could get 550 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: the bullet I didn't have the bulkhead seat. That's the 551 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 2: that's the seat I love to get. Uh No, it 552 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 2: was close close.

How are you? 563 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 6: I'm very good? 564 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: How about you? 565 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 3: Dan? 566 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 2: I'm doing great. How's your airline travel lately? 567 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 6: Well, I don't do that anymore, but I did it 568 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 6: for twenty nine years, and just about everything you said 569 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 6: was true. 570 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 5: That's how they operate. 571 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 2: They don't care. 572 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 6: Oh really, it's ridiculous. Anyhow, I carried a small Duffel 573 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 6: bed with clothes to go into all the head compartment. 574 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 6: But I had a tool case that weighed about seventy pounds, 575 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 6: all right, and that was that weight because that was 576 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 6: the limit at the time, so you'd have to pay 577 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 6: extra if it was heavier. And I forget what the 578 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 6: limit was on the weight. But when I would go 579 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 6: to the counter, it would go on the scale, you know, 580 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 6: that's in between the counters there, and there was always 581 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 6: a I mean, the girls would allow. It was usually 582 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 6: a girl that was helping you with the ticket, maybe 583 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 6: seventy five pounds over that. Then they'd be saying, hey, 584 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 6: it's sir, you know okay. Sometimes I would take some 585 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 6: stuff out of it and put it in my carry 586 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 6: on to make it lighter, you know. 587 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: Sure what I. 588 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 6: Would do then every time I laid that bag on 589 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 6: the scale, when a kid went on the handle right 590 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 6: to the destination, I would step over that scale and 591 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 6: I would pick that bag up and put it on 592 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 6: the conveyor in the back of the counter so the 593 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 6: woman wouldn't. 594 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 5: Have to lift it. 595 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're a gentleman, I know. 596 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 6: But the thing is, you're not allowed to do that. 597 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 6: So occasionally, you know, a man, manager, supervisor, guy, I 598 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 6: would see you doing that and he'd come over and, 599 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 6: you know, say to you, Hey, sir, da da, I say, listen, pal. 600 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 6: My dad was a marine, okay, in the Second World 601 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 6: War and regima.

Chris. You went next on night side. 622 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 7: Hey Dan, I hope you're having a great night. I 623 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 7: think there's one reason that why airlines do it. It's 624 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 7: because we're all in a hurry. So everybody does want 625 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 7: to sit kind of as close to the front as possible. 626 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 7: So if they bored at the back, you know what 627 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 7: happens or what could happen, is it really just becomes 628 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 7: you know, folks that are at the beginning, if everybody's 629 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 7: boarding the back, there's not enough space for that check luggage, 630 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 7: and then you are sitting at the front. But then 631 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 7: they force you to you know, check your luggage in 632 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 7: and then you have to wait twenty minutes for you know, 633 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 7: an extra twenty minutes in the airport. So you know, 634 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 7: everybody's willing to pay a little bit more to sit 635 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 7: at the front to get off that plane. And everybody 636 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 7: wants to have their baggage with them. 637 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 2: No, no, what I'm saying, what I'm agreeing with you. 638 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 2: Where's where we have a disagreement if they want to 639 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 2: give some courtesy or convenience to the custom of it's 640 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 2: paying more if they're in first class or business class 641 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 2: or in some sort of coach coach plus or economy plus. 642 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 2: I'm okay with that, But there comes a point where 643 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 2: you get into the coach portion of the plane and 644 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: everybody knows it. The seats are smaller. You know, there's 645 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 2: been a petition. There's a uh some sort of a 646 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 2: curtain that they draw by so you know, you can't 647 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 2: see the people up front. And all I'm saying is 648 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: that when they bored, so that the people at the 649 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 2: head of the coach area, who pay the same price 650 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 2: as the people in the back of the coach area, 651 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 2: everybody has to wait to put the people on the 652 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 2: back you end up first, and by the way, have 653 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 2: us to float attendance back there so that everybody no 654 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 2: one's like putting their bag up as they're walking down. 655 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 2: Now they got to take their bags. That's where they're seated. 656 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 2: Their bags are with them. And then just do it 657 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 2: more sequentially. I when's the last time. 658 00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 3: You want to play? 659 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 2: What's last time? 660 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 4: Once a month? 661 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 2: So good for you. You fly even more than I do. 662 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 2: But every time that've been on the plane lately, and 663 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 2: then when the plane pulls into the gate to stop, 664 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 2: everybody stands up. You can't go anywhere, so everybody's kind 665 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 2: of hunched over. We're all gonna look like the Hunchback 666 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 2: of Notre Dame because you can't stand up straight if 667 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,720 Speaker 2: you're in one of those seats that's under the baggage. 668 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 7: I still think that though it's it's really a byproduct 669 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 7: of space for the check luggage or the luggage above 670 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 7: each of the seats, right, because there's gonna be a 671 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 7: spot where no more bags can go above the Yeah. 672 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 2: Okay, maybe that's but it's never been explained. Let them 673 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 2: explain it. 674 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 3: You know. 675 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: Maybe I should get one of these executives on, or 676 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 2: maybe there's some travel expert who we can talk to 677 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,439 Speaker 2: about this, because it just doesn't make sense. Thanks Chris, 678 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 2: Thanks for the suggestion. Call more off and I enjoyed 679 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: the conversation. Thanks, talk to you all right. We're gonna 680 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 2: wrap with miss Laurie from Idaho. Laurie, I suspect you're 681 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 2: going to have an opinion on this, and I'm I'm 682 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 2: bracing myself. 683 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,399 Speaker 8: Well, I think you're absolutely right. I don't know why 684 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 8: in God's name they don't load from the rear first. 685 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 8: That doesn't make any sense at all, because you could 686 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 8: call the next group on more quickly if all the 687 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 8: little chickens in the back are doing their thing and 688 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 8: the next group said, obeys the rules, what with that 689 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 8: last collar just said it's absolutely right. Have a little 690 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 8: you know, the little police down there saying no, you 691 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 8: can't load this.

But I'm not fighting with everybody to 697 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 8: get my bags at the end of the flight or not. 698 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 8: I can't play how many times I get hit in 699 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 8: the head with people's luck and drop it. They like, 700 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 8: oh good, No, so with the baby stroller in the 701 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 8: diaper bag. 702 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 2: And I haven't seen carried on or like a set 703 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 2: of golf I don't see like a set of golf clubs, 704 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:07,439 Speaker 2: So let. 705 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 8: Me ask they are too big to carry on? 706 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 2: When you check your bags, you're paying twenty five bucks. Now. 707 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 2: It used to be you could check your bags for free. 708 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 8: Oh I know, I remember, Yeah, nope, and then they've 709 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 8: also decreased the weight. 710 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: It can be oh sure, oh yeah. But what I'm 711 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 2: saying is it's like, let's make it. You would think 712 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 2: that they would say, you know what, let's just let 713 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 2: them check the bags for free, and if we're gonna 714 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 2: charge them, charge them for carrying on. 715 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 8: I mean I was on a flight a couple of 716 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 8: times there was one airplane that was charging for carry ons. 717 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 8: Really yeah, I would I would say, uh, pre COVID, 718 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 8: but not by much. So I was out the line 719 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 8: between the England Montana all the time. And then but yeah, 720 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 8: they started charging for carry ons and they had to 721 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 8: be a limited size. But then they went away from 722 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 8: that to like because everyone was carrying the roller boards 723 00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 8: and so they did start charging for those, which I 724 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 8: didn't get charge of that because I never carried one on. 725 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 8: But oh so frustrating. Well, so there's one of the 726 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 8: other benefit of the emergency aisle is maybe your leg 727 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 8: room isn't that big, but the seats in front of 728 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 8: you can't tip back. 729 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, although I'm flying the other day and it always 730 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: happens to me, I don't know I'm a magnet for this. Okay. 731 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 2: The woman who's in the row in front of me 732 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 2: now again, I had a little bit of little su Can. 733 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 2: She had like a coughing fit.
