Speaker 2: wasn't on the it wasn't on the online, it wasn't
Speaker 2: on the app.
Speaker 3: But they pulled this plane up and they had seats.
Speaker 2: So we booked our seats and then in three minutes
Speaker 2: that that flight was full. So we're asking eight hundred
Speaker 2: and five eight five one oh five to one your
Speaker 2: horror stories. I was in the airport yesterday with Eric Sermon,
Speaker 2: shot the beatout that's in DJ Premier.

Speaker 3: There was mad people in their for yesterday about to.
Speaker 6: Send your top five. I used debated about hip hop
Speaker 6: hours on.
Speaker 2: Everybody was just trying to get home now, but very
Speaker 2: interesting conversations. I love to see those brothers. They got
Speaker 2: so much wisdom, so much knowledge. But yeah, I was stuck.
Speaker 2: We were stuck for a long time, and I actually
Speaker 2: thought we were gonna have to leave the airport and
Speaker 2: go back to the hotel.
Speaker 3: But thank god, the flight was able to get off
Speaker 3: and people.
Speaker 2: When I landed, it took me an hour to get
Speaker 2: my luggage usually takes ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Took me over an hour to get this, just the luggage.
Speaker 5: As you as you can see, I'm still I'm still stuck,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, because my flight was canceled
Speaker 5: just to But I learned the valuable lesson, and that
Speaker 5: valuable lesson is I am never ever in my life
Speaker 5: doing anything on one of my children's born days unless
Speaker 5: my child is with me, never ever, ever, ever again.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean. It was yesterday, Oh damn. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so I went against one.
Speaker 5: Of my my moral rules, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: because I thought I would be back, you know, in
Speaker 5: time to spend at least, you know, some of the day.
Speaker 5: But no, it's still here. But you know, luckily she
Speaker 5: turned fifteen, and she.
Speaker 6: Don't give it. Damn.
Speaker 3: So he said, she don't care about your dad.
Speaker 6: She don't care. She don't care.
Speaker 5: She got hurt, she got what she wanted for her birthday.
Speaker 5: You know me, that's all that matter. That's all that matter.
Speaker 5: Daddy sent me your card. But you know that's not
Speaker 5: what it's about for me. No, it's not about that.
Speaker 5: It's about wanting to spend you know, time with my
Speaker 5: with my little ones on their special days. But never again,
Speaker 5: I promise you, if it's my wife's birthday or any
Speaker 5: of my children's birthday, don't ask me to do nothing.
Speaker 6: Okay, I will not I will not be there.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, day, pre good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 3: You were stuck in the airport. Tell us about your
Speaker 3: horror story this weekend.
Speaker 8: Well, we did a girl ship to Miami, and I
Speaker 8: went to the airport at like twelve o'clock and I
Speaker 8: didn't get to leave out the airport it's about six
Speaker 8: o'clock because one plane was delayed, one plane was going
Speaker 8: to maintenance, and then they were canceling flights. And then
Speaker 8: I work at the airport, so all the Guardia flights
Speaker 8: going to New York were again canceled and delayed and
Speaker 8: coming in so it wasn't hot mess this week.
Speaker 6: Now, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 5: Doesn't that make you feel like like doubly disrespected being
Speaker 5: that you work at the airport and you can't get
Speaker 5: a flight?
Speaker 6: Do you ever say that to them? I work at
Speaker 6: an airline.
Speaker 8: Get well, see wee flight free, so we get in
Speaker 8: by So I already got accept that, but being.
Speaker 9: Rolled over, roll over, rolled over, I was.
Speaker 8: Just ready to buy a bottle. I was getting so annoyed.
Speaker 3: But let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2: If somebody misses their flight and it's an overnight flight,
Speaker 2: do the airlines pay.
Speaker 3: For the hotel? No, that's that's messed up.
Speaker 2: You think about how it's out of town, the flight
Speaker 2: gets delayed or canceled, and now they got to just
Speaker 2: sleep at the airport because they might not be able
Speaker 2: to ford another hotel room.
Speaker 5: You know, I thought I thought that was some legislation
Speaker 5: they passed earlier this year that they were gonna start
Speaker 5: paying with stuff.
Speaker 8: You want to sleep right out the way for your
Speaker 8: flight the next flight that they booked you. Sometimes if
Speaker 8: it's due to their thumbs and they might put your hotel.
Speaker 8: But that's not.
Speaker 2: Rare if it's Mother Nature, because yesterday I can't I
Speaker 2: couldn't imagine it was so many people in the airport
Speaker 2: that they would have to pay for a hundreds of people.
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's no way airlines are paying for that.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say.
Speaker 5: That does disappoint me, though, that disappoints me because I'm
Speaker 5: a Jet Blue. I'm a proud Jet Blue flyer, a
Speaker 5: proud mos SAIC member. You know, I feel like when
Speaker 5: you cancel off flights, we deserve a phone call.
Speaker 6: Okay everything? Yeah, well know the most SAIC members. I
Speaker 6: ain't everybody. I said the most SAG members.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of most SAG members. They said, your
Speaker 3: damn text, don't they do it?
Speaker 6: Do it by miles? Okay, they know how many miles
Speaker 6: I got compared to other people.
Speaker 5: Do it by miles and call those of us with
Speaker 5: a lot of miles and tell us and then put
Speaker 5: us on the first thing smoking we should get the
Speaker 5: first write of refusal for these flights.
Speaker 6: No, I agree that.
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
Speaker 2: I think the million miles, the people that fly a lot,
Speaker 2: if you kids that flight, we should have first.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 6: Was this what Mike?
Speaker 3: Mike what's up man?
Speaker 2: You you you had an airport horror story the last
Speaker 2: couple of days, brother night man Man.
Speaker 10: I was fucking Tampa yesterday. I was thirty seventh on
Speaker 10: a standby list, and I knew right then and there
Speaker 10: I was it was over for me. Got to the
Speaker 10: point it was a United flight. They canceled three of
Speaker 10: my flights. I was stuck in the airport or even
Speaker 10: got so bad I went to the frontier desk. They
Speaker 10: had no flight for me.
Speaker 5: And then I.
Speaker 10: Finally, by the grace of God, went to the Jet
Speaker 10: Blue desk and somebody must have canceled their flight as
Speaker 10: soon as I went up there, and they wanted me
Speaker 10: to United, wanted to pook me on Thursday and be
Speaker 10: stuck in Florida for two more days. Couldn't do that,
Speaker 10: how to get to work, and Jet Blue got me on.
Speaker 10: So I'm a Jet Blue customer for life now.
Speaker 5: Well, at least Jet Blue did something for somebody yesterday
Speaker 5: because they didn't take care of theyre mosaic members with
Speaker 5: a lot of miles like myself.
Speaker 3: Damn it.
Speaker 2: Man, Well, I will tell this this is what I
Speaker 2: usually do. If you have a credit card, and most
Speaker 2: airlines will give you your money back. So if I
Speaker 2: do see a flight open up, I buy a ticket.
Speaker 6: I don't care.
Speaker 2: I just bought a ticket, and even if I don't
Speaker 2: use it, you can call, and nine times out of
Speaker 2: ten airport most of them will give you your refund
Speaker 2: back within twenty four hours. But at least I hold
Speaker 2: my spot on that flight, and then if it cancels,
Speaker 2: I just get my money back, put it right back
Speaker 2: on my car.
Speaker 3: I do that all the time.
Speaker 6: I'm with you.
Speaker 5: I just want better I want better service for those
Speaker 5: of us who have our most saying members on Jet Blue,
Speaker 5: or if you're on Delta and you got you a belt,
Speaker 5: whether you're silver, a.
Speaker 6: Gold, or what's the other one, I'm diamond, diamond. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: If you got a belt Delta, we should be getting
Speaker 5: more respect and love than everybody else.
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, I'm a million midler. They gave me fifteen
Speaker 2: thousand miles from my delay yesterday, though, Is that enough?
Speaker 6: No? I don't think so ea.
Speaker 3: I'll take it all right.
Speaker 2: But eight hundred five eight five one oh five one
Speaker 2: we were talking about airport horror stories. Yesterday, seven thousand
Speaker 2: flights were canceled. Nine thousand flights were delayed. Were you

Speaker 2: the amount of money airlines are losing, and this is
Speaker 2: mother nature.
Speaker 3: There was really nothing they can do.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The worst part about it is as somebody who's I'm
Speaker 5: not gonna say currently stuck because I'm flying out this morning,
Speaker 5: but as somebody who flight did get canceled yesterday. The
Speaker 5: worst part about it is that they'll when they tell you, hey,
Speaker 5: you can't get on another flight, until Thursday twenty ninth. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you can't get on another flight until the thirtieth, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean? Yesterday was tuesdays. You mean telling

Speaker 2: trying to get blankets and trying to get whatever, but
Speaker 2: they can to keep warm.
Speaker 5: And it's really messed up. So you mean to tell

Speaker 9: To do that in Hawaii. He's in Hawaii, but I'm.
Speaker 6: Now I hate that.
Speaker 3: That's not a bad place to get stuck. I would
Speaker 3: get stuck in Hawaii.
Speaker 9: Now we need to get back to right. Too many
Speaker 9: hours and.
Speaker 3: What do you do, Mama?
Speaker 9: I sell insurance.
Speaker 3: He's selling insurance. All right, Well, he'll be back on
Speaker 3: Friday and he'll have your back.

Speaker 8: But I'm making mad money though without him being there.
Speaker 6: So there you go. Look at the bright guy. That
Speaker 6: is a positive solf got God?
Speaker 3: Hello, who's this?
Speaker 9: What's going on?
Speaker 6: Guys?
Speaker 3: Patrick Patrick from Quiz?
Speaker 6: What's up?
Speaker 10: Man?
Speaker 3: You were stuck in the airport?
Speaker 7: Bro Now I'm calling on behalf of my mother and
Speaker 7: my sister. I had to get some situated.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 7: They were flying back to Atlanta, but they got canceled
Speaker 7: out of LaGuardia. I had to drive them all the
Speaker 7: way to maca Careport in Long Island about this, and
Speaker 7: they still got stuck out there again. Now, didn't Baltimore,
Speaker 7: still trying to make it back.
Speaker 2: So you drove them to LaGuardia. Then you went to
Speaker 2: Long Island, which is in an hour drive to Long Island.
Speaker 2: Then you had to drive into Baltimore, which is a
Speaker 2: three hour drive. And it's still stuck.
Speaker 7: Bill, stuck, bro and I'm out of gas money.
Speaker 5: Now, Dan, let me let me ask this magic question.
Speaker 5: Is the weather that bad in New York? Not?
Speaker 6: Now, that's what I'm saying. Wasn't that bad yesterday?
Speaker 3: They said it was. They said lightning, and they said
Speaker 3: it was pretty bad.
Speaker 7: It was a little rainy, But I think it was
Speaker 7: I think it was the weather in Atlanta that was
Speaker 7: the problem.
Speaker 3: Now they said it was the weather New York that
Speaker 3: was the problem.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he said New York.
Speaker 5: And what makes it so bad is that when they
Speaker 5: canceled a bunch of flights, the reason people can't get
Speaker 5: out until Thursday and Friday is because all of these
Speaker 5: people rebook on all of the flights and they everything
Speaker 5: gets backed up like a backlog.
Speaker 3: Correct. But I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I'm with the people that stay with the airlines the longest,
Speaker 2: that that has priority seniority on the They should be
Speaker 2: booked first.
Speaker 3: Even if they got to put people back.
Speaker 5: That's right. I'm Jet Blue. I'm a proud most SAG member.
Speaker 5: I got a lot of miles on Delta.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. I'm Silver. You know I'm
Speaker 6: getting the way I need to beat. I'm a million miller.
Speaker 5: But if they called the million miles and the platinum
Speaker 5: people before me and the gold I don't have a
Speaker 5: problem with that. But you can't, as if you can't
Speaker 5: just call people that don't got as many miles as
Speaker 5: me and book them on the first flights out.
Speaker 3: I'm with you.
Speaker 6: That ain't right.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. Hello, who's this, Joe?
Speaker 6: What's up? Brother?
Speaker 3: Talk to us?
Speaker 6: Well, you got some names on y'all?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I know a black and spanning Okay, yeah, No.
Speaker 9: So we're leaving about of uh.
Speaker 7: Yesterday.
Speaker 4: Get to the airport at four twenty and I'm sitting
Speaker 4: my daughter off and the minute we get to the checkpoint,
Speaker 4: her flight supposed to leave in like six point thirty.
Speaker 4: Look to me like that, I'm like what he was like,
Speaker 4: it's delayed?
Speaker 10: So ten thirty?
Speaker 9: What do you mean ten thirty?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a rip.
Speaker 2: Once you say ten thirty, s did.
Speaker 4: It leave at ten thirty.
Speaker 6: Oh, did or did leave?
Speaker 2: Now for Larderdale. I've got stuck for Lorderdale a lot.
Speaker 2: And that's that's probably one of the smallest airports.
Speaker 3: But it's always delaying for Lordadale all the time.
Speaker 5: Man, it's certain airports you just know you ain't getting
Speaker 5: out of once they say a certain time.
Speaker 3: Be like that sometimes too, Nork be like that, Laguardi
Speaker 3: be like that.
Speaker 6: Maybe like ten thirty. You'd be looking around, like, but
Speaker 6: it ain't nobody here.
Speaker 3: Yep, you ain't going nowhere. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 9: This is Corey culled from a skik and Michigan. Good morning, guys. Hey,
Speaker 9: I was stuck in at the airport, And good morning. I
Speaker 9: was stuck in Houston on this past Sunday night. I
Speaker 9: was scheduled for flight out six forty five. Turkeed around.
Speaker 9: They delayed my flight, and then another flight was delayed,
Speaker 9: and the third flight was we're getting on there at
Speaker 9: twelve o'clock. The arrived the Grand Rapids at two forty
Speaker 9: five am. Everyone's on the plane. We wait fifteen minutes.
Speaker 9: They were waiting on another crew member and turn around
Speaker 9: they say that the crew members has left the pilot
Speaker 9: has gone and everybody's about to off board the plane.
Speaker 3: Dang, that's a lot. See.
Speaker 2: The sad thing about it is really nobody you can blame, right,
Speaker 2: because it's an act of God. Right is nature when
Speaker 2: they have all these rainstorms and thunderstorms.
Speaker 3: So you can't really blame.
Speaker 2: Anybody because FAA is grounding these planes because they want
Speaker 2: everybody to be safe. But it is I mean the
Speaker 2: fact that, like you said, some people who like got
Speaker 2: delay Monday won't be able to get back on a
Speaker 2: plane till Thursday.
Speaker 6: Bro.
Speaker 5: And by the way, I don't think people realize how
Speaker 5: crazy that sounds. Right, And you go to an airport
Speaker 5: and you ready to get home and you done checked
Speaker 5: out of your hotel, like you're done, and they like,
Speaker 5: you're not gonna get home till Thursday, and you're in
Speaker 5: a strange city. That's like what, Like I'm lost? Right,
Speaker 5: Like what am I supposed to do? I might have
Speaker 5: been budgeting for this trip. I can't afford another couple
Speaker 5: of days at.
Speaker 3: The hotel, right, and the hotel expensive.
Speaker 2: Then I gotta get a uber back to the hotel
Speaker 2: that I gotta get for food that's too expensive.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm tapped out. So what people have to do
Speaker 3: is they got to sleep in the damn thing. They
Speaker 3: got to sleep in the damn airport.
Speaker 5: I don't understand too, Like if you have these airports
Speaker 5: that have hotels close to, like, why don't they have
Speaker 5: some type of deal with neighboring hotels for when things
Speaker 5: like this happen, Because it's not like it happens all
Speaker 5: the time. But you know what I mean, Like, when
Speaker 5: these events do happen, can't y'all house some.
Speaker 6: Of these people that are going to be displaced for
Speaker 6: a couple of days.
Speaker 3: I really don't think they care unless it's therefore, Like
Speaker 3: if it's if it's.
Speaker 2: A plane malfunction or a pilot not making it or
Speaker 2: something wrong, than the airline or cover it. But if
Speaker 2: it's an act of God, you on your own, they
Speaker 2: they don't care.
Speaker 5: Well, even if it's an act of God, there's one airline
Speaker 5: that's still be coming through for people in that spirit,
Speaker 5: the spirit of God, the spirit of the Holy Ghost.
Speaker 6: Okay, I mean they got to live up to their name, dammit.
Speaker 3: Is that the moral of the stories?
Speaker 5: No, the maral of the story is you are where
Speaker 5: you are when you're supposed to be there, even if
Speaker 5: you don't want to be there. Everything is in divine alignment.
Speaker 5: That's how to look at it last night, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. That's how I look at things in
Speaker 5: life period. But you know, after a while, you gotta
Speaker 5: stop stressing. You just got to be like, you know
Speaker 5: what I am and where I am when I'm supposed
Speaker 5: to be here, and I'll get back when I'm supposed
Speaker 5: to get back.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, when we come back, we got your
Speaker 2: room and report. Trina says, stop playing with her. She
Speaker 2: says she's done with y'all, and also Rose and Bar.
Speaker 2: She's spitting some venom. We'll talk about it when we
Speaker 2: come back. It's the Breakfast Club on b ET
