Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we're going to talk about this real quick
because we didn't get to dive deep into this. But
you know, when you go flying, or you know, you
take an airplane and they call the group number, you're
probably always in the first group, right because I'm always
it doesn't matter when I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
In the last group. I don't know why sometimes.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So they're using a technology now, they're going to test
this that will actually shame people for boarding too early.
You know, they try to squeak on and you're looking
at everybody's like group one, and every person on the
plane is getting on, and you're like, there's no way, right.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
So I guess their.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
American Airlines is testing this out in two major airports
where an alarm will sound, I guess, and let you're.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The wrong zone.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
They're going to try to like shame you. We got
a purp, we got a perpetrator right here. Oh my god.
So they're in the early phases of this technology. But
I do like this because it's it's a little frustrating
if you, you know, are somebody who pays extra I don't,
(01:07):
but you know, and you're supposed to board and then
everybody else just gets on.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Why can't people just like line up in the order
that they get there and just you know, first come,
first served, because you're even even when they do, like
they need to load from the back of the plane
to the front anyway, and they don't do that, and
so when you get on there, you're always waiting in
line anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Well, I mean until they change it, though. This is
the system and people have to follow it.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I do agree with you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That's how it should be loaded. That's like a no gig.
But there are people who like have millions and millions
of miles, so they get to board first.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
You know, and then those other people you know, they're
going to be comfortable the whole flight. So why can't
they wait a few more minutes? Well?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Because there it's Jim, those are the rules.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
The rules. Are you bored by your zone?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Like what through nine?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'm gonna run for a president of pan am okay Awa?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, good luck with that, Jim.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Good All right.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Wait, I'm trying to find what the airports are. Oh,
it's at Reagan Washington Airport and then Albuquerque International in
New Mexico and Tucson International Airport. So there's three of
them now, Okay, where are.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
You gonna do? Really cute.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's like a mom with a mom with her four
kids and she's just desperately trying to get on and
you know that's that happen. Oh my gosh, And how embarrassing.
I mean, they're literally trying to shame you. Oh you know,
watch and they should use that technology. If you are
at the grocery store and you go on the line
with fifteen items.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Oh, I thought you were gonna I thought you were
gonna save. You're at the grocery store, you try to
eat a grape or a cherry, same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Same thing, same, Oh my god, because you ask, oh
what if you're at the gas station and you leave
your car too long, it's really busy, and you run
in to get something, they should out those people too, right,
let's start shaming everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Oh I'm crying.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
