incidents have been reported even just in this past week. just yesterday, a united airlines boeing plane flying out of sfo lost an external panel before landing safely in oregon. and that is just the latest incident. there's been a long list. joining us now to talk about these recent incidents is
8:14 am
causing concern aviation expert mike mccarron. thanks for joining us. good morning. so i hear this and it's another one. that's what it feels like. another one. another one. another one. never the same problem. which maybe if it was the same problem we'd be like okay this is an issue they're going to address. but we've had external panels. we've had door plugs, we've had all of the above. how do you see that in terms of concern about what's happening industry wide and specifically with boeing, i think industry wide, there's an issue of lack of inspection and >> there have been or 5 years ago, the federal government startedc cutting back on the number of inspectors during the pandemic. airlines cut back on their workforce. and when they started to ramp up again, many of them didn't rehire or they got younger people in because older people retired. so i think there's a lot of factors. the answer may be d all of the above. all these factors are coming together at once. >> so the domino effect of saying if you do this, you might not see the immediate impact, but you cut staffing and down the line as these planes come off the line. this is where we're going to see the impact. the question people have first
8:15 am
and foremost is how do we trust when we get on these planes that they are safe? >> they are safe. they're very safe. i looked up the statistics this morning. in the past several years, you can count the number of commercial aviation fatalities on one hand, and driving your car is far more dangerous. there's 40,000 people spkilled every year driving a c. now, theúaviation industry has to have the highest standards because it's the most it's the most risky way to traveling. so there's a counterbalance. they have to follow through and make sure being said, we're seeing the domino effect now of the staffing. so will we see safety domino effects happening that we don't anticipate? because those statistics are based on? before we had all of these different cutbacks, hopefully notn >> hopefully the faa, the ntsb are now on the on on looking at these boeing, the major carriers are now looking at it more closely. but there is an issue of outsourcing work where they used to be done in-house by their local mechanics. it's now going to not just outside the bay of the bay area or normal
8:16 am
operations, but outside the country for maintenance with different regulations, different regulations. so now you have to start looking at what do you want to bring that back in. and there's anc associated cost with that as well. >> now also you know the door plug was obviously an immediate safety issue that people are seeing. you know, when you've got people inside a plane and the outside is inside and you've got pressure and things, at the picture there. that's an obvious that cannot happen. these other issues, you can't have wheels falling off planes and dropping on onto cars, and you can't have external panels falling off. but should we be looking at these incidents differently in terms of like when one passenger looked out the window and said, there'sl theregs, you know, some maybe important screws missing from the wing. and, you know, the airlines are telling us that's fine, that's fine. you know, like, we can still land safely. like, how do you look at it as someone who worked for a long time at sfo and was in the navy, and you have a different eye for this, how should >> the airline history as a whole should have a zero defect mentality. there should be no exceptions to anything. there
8:17 am
should be no screws missing. there should be no. >> that's how it feels from where i'm that should be the goal, the reality is, is that they are profit, you know, driven industry just like any other commercial industry. so how can we get from point a somt hiring. as i said they're hiring junior people. and the more senior more of the obvious things or maybe it's benign, the obvious things, but the more subtle things and call those question. so i think it's going to take time to ramp up where you have more experienced inspectors, more experienced maintainers, all these things have to come together. but in the meantime, the faa, ntsb, all the regulators have to really be on top of the airlines. airlines have toúbe on top of themselves to make this system work. >> do you get the sense that that is happening? i mean, is this an industry in crisis? this isúnot this is the about when it comes to the airline industry. we're talking about a shortage of pilots. we're talking about a shortage of air traffic controllers. we're talking kind of industry wide. are we heading
8:18 am
in the rightúdirection or are we still kind of dealing with the magnitude of what this industry >> there is a there is a sea change right now. and the airlines, as i said earlier, are the air carriers. the main the construction people like boeing and airbus. they have to adapt to the changing environment and they of series of minor incidents is getting their attention. so hopefully they'll make these corrections now. so in the long terme we go back to where we were and there's no incidents whatsoever. >> do you feelc like there's enough pressure political and otherwise, and from the traveling public to make that happen image that boeing has right now, years ago when i motto saying, if it's not be a boeing, i'm not going. they were the gold standard of whatever wy on that's been tarnished out int of this quickly, hopefully they'll this is a great wake up call for them, but it still remains to be seen if they can make that adjustment. >> and competitors like airbust& are looking to make sure that theygre in. if that boeing
8:19 am
reputation gets tarnished, mike mccarron, i appreciate you coming in and always appreciate your expertise. thank you. rosemary. let's talk about the weather. there's lots to talk about there as well with changing conditions that we i think we are all welcoming at this point. >> yes. and as we look to the sky, we do have plenty of blue overhead. in fact, get a load of this shot. my goodness. lake snow on those mountains. we have blue sky overhead. we have calm conditions. we have very cold conditions. low 20s this morning reported from south lake tahoe into to truckee. but wow that is a gorgeous shot. a storm tracket couple of days we've been nestled in between this high pressure that's to the northúof us. we have low toc the south of us. they are finally separating a little bit more, allowing the winds to relaxc. and that is why we finally began last night ando remain with just light winds for the rest of

9:47 am
and paul, the route has to be critical. >> you have to plan allúthis out. you can't just sort of hop on and think you'll kind of get from pointc a to point b, you have to really carefully map that out. how doesúthat process work out? >> yeah. so as soon as we were approved, the new category by guinness world record, we started looking at the bart to e the where should we start. so there are five terminals. so richmond, antioch,údublin, pleasanton, berryessa and millbrae. so intuitively we would start at and end at one of those nodes. so in the end we decided withústarting in antioch and ending in berryessa, which is in san. >> so i also asked you guys, i think as we were, it youc have to have worked with bart. did you notify them first? did you coordinate with the operator? because i believe that the operator would have a lot of say because they can get thatt& vehicle going slower or faster, depending on what they need to do, how much coordination was there? >> so weúactually didn't notify bart in advance, because in order for this to be a genuine record, we had to, you know, make sure everything was on a regular schedule. but throughout
9:48 am
our journey, we were live streaming itúmainly just toc get proof for guinness world records. but bart actually noticed and they retweeted our live stream and really, it starts to blow up at that point and people start to be interested in what we were doing and being like, who are these five crazy kids? you know, who want to ride bart for six hours on a saturday?úso yeah. ñ> well, and you guys are those crazy kids the question on everybody's mind, or at least on mine, how much did this trip cost? because bart is, you know, you know, depending on where you start and finish, can determine how much you pay. how much were the tickets? >> so we tapped. i after we double back and tapped- out at berryessa. so the total cost for the trip was 2740 each. each? yeah, 2740 2740 small price to pay for a place in history, right, gentlemen? >> right. >> for sure. yeah. >> okay. so you said that you guys, made it in five hours. 47 minutes? yes you guys going to try to beatúyour own
9:49 am
>> so here's the thing. we spent hours looking at the mean, couns nightsúlooking at excel sheets, trying to optimize the routes. a lot of procrastination may have happened with my homework, but i think at this point we've got it down way this record could be beaten is if bart changesútheir schedules. maybe shorter connection times, whatever it may be to make an optimized route. but based off the current schedule, i don't think that anyone would be able to beat our time issued. >> there might be some stanford engineering students out to chau at some point in time. we will see.úgentlemen, congratulations again, paul amin wait to see yon the world record book, or online, i guess how they do it now, because i have to make the book anymore. gentlemen, for jo, guys. and, rosemary, great day to take bart. get out there, visit the city, visit the bay area, get around. right. ñ> absolutely. and you know, christian, you knowúthis, but there's like this recent effort to
