00:23T
00:24Thank you very much.
00:58our son's getting engaged
01:00tomorrow night said to engage my partner
01:02so he's popping the question tomorrow
01:04down in Southern California
01:06we have a flight tomorrow at like 12.15pm
01:09so we'll get there
01:10it'll just be cutting it close
01:14we're relieved that we'll make it down there
01:16but yeah it's going to be cutting it close
01:18rather than having a lot of time to
01:19kind of get things ready
01:29a little bit surprised to me
01:31but I decided to stay a little bit longer
01:34to see if I get a chance
01:35and the wait seems like quite warm a bit
01:38and I get that way falling down
01:40so I'm very happy about it
01:42doesn't feel like people are scared
01:43there's a couple of police cars
01:46you know right outside the airport
01:49it doesn't feel like a scary environment
01:51but it's frustrating
01:52obviously I mean they need to pass
01:55this is my business travel
01:58so yeah I think it's okay
02:02I think it's okay
02:02I'll just stay two days
02:05in Southern California
02:06because the two of the people in Southern California
02:08so I think it's not a big impact on me
02:12I'm completely taken aback
02:14I've had no problems with flights anywhere
02:17I've got family kind of all over
02:20and I've done a fair amount of traveling
02:22everything is gone kind of status quo
02:25so I really didn't think anything of this flight
02:28you know and then I got here and wait
02:31and it's delayed
02:32and then you know and here we are
02:34it's 6 30 at night
02:37is there something bigger going on
02:39should I be flying
02:40should I not
02:41I've even considered getting in the car
02:44and driving 15 hours up there
02:47thinking that might be safer
02:50so yes it is concerning
02:51absolutely
02:54I've just been sitting here
02:56like reading
02:57drawing
02:58trying to keep myself entertained
03:00I was really surprised about that
03:02when my dad called me
03:03I was like
03:03I feel like
03:04I don't know
03:05and it's like up today of all days
03:07I feel like
03:07the one day I like make the trek out
03:09to the airport
03:11this happens
03:13so
03:13I don't know
03:15hopefully I get home safe

03:29I was a captain at the time
03:31and during 9-11
03:33and we were part of the shutdown
03:36the national transportation system shutdown
03:39in the United States
03:41which lasted several days
03:42so
03:43it was
03:44eerily familiar
03:46to me
03:47when I heard of
03:48the shutdown
03:49that was occurring today
03:50but thankfully
03:52everything worked out
03:54in terms of safety
03:55and
03:55let's get the system fixed
03:57it was extraordinary
03:59that it was a national ground stop
04:01because we haven't seen anything like that
04:02in the United States
04:04really
04:04since 9-11
04:06and
04:07you know
04:08this was not
04:09because of
04:11a terror attack
04:12but
04:13in terms of
04:14operationally
04:15for safety
04:16same
04:17same
04:17same tactics
04:18bringing the aircraft
04:20back down onto the ground
04:21not allowing aircraft
04:22to take off
04:23the system was shut down
04:24so right now
04:25you have an infrastructure
04:27of communication lines
04:28copper wiring
04:29that they need to upgrade
04:31throughout
04:32the United States
04:33as well as
04:34other infrastructure
04:35like air traffic
04:37control towers
04:38and such
04:39hiring
04:41air traffic controllers
04:43to
04:44run the system
04:45so
04:45so much that's going in
04:47that
04:48the secretary
04:48today
04:49Secretary Duffy
04:50was
04:51stating that
04:53perhaps they may need
04:54as much as
04:5550 billion dollars
04:5712.5 billion
04:58has already been allocated
04:59that's US dollars
05:00in the United States
05:01for this upgrade
05:03in infrastructure
