5:32 am
in a statement the faa said it was, quote, studying the rule carefully and any actions we may take to address the court's findings >> i think it's ridiculous the prices keep rising and the seats keep getting smaller >> bigger. it sound like a double edged sword but at what cost >> joining us is jordan beth union and charlie liocca charlie, why don't you tell us what happens next with this lawsuit. the faa doesn't have to do anything right away, correct >> either the faa has to release the data, which they say that
5:33 am
they have, decide that it's not confidential, or they have to redo the evacuation test to show that we can get people off these planes given the fact that seats are now not on packed tighter in terms of eliminating leg room buteliminating width. that's part of what we asked the faa to give us clear argument on if we want to have this argument on customer service, we're going to lose. but based upon safety and health, we have a good chance of winni winning. >> well, the idea if you cram more seats and more people in, it's going to take longer to get off. why don't you think this is a safety issue >> number one, they regulate safety for seat manufacturers to wi withstand 16 gs of force
5:34 am
there's a whole lot of things on the air worthiness certificate that gets you a seat on an airplane they rarely put the number of seats authorized on an airplane. the evacuation of 90 seconds usually exceeds the market you really don't want to put that many people on the airpl e airplane what happens to people who now can afford to fly because they offer super cheap fares, you're going to put them back in cars where the fatality rate is a hundred times higher who are you harming and -- >> gordon, you know i love you but you have some heavy lifting on this one. are you convinced you can evacuate a plane in less than 90
5:35 am
seconds? >> they have to actually do it it gets done on multiple configurations of the same plane. >> how come the faa won't release those sflults. >> i -- those results? >> i have no idea. as a safety/marketing issue, it's a non-issue >> charlie, if the faa can demonstrate this, or if they can show it in other tests, are they willing to say, okay, never mind, let's move on. >> if they show it and they show that everything is safe and everything is according to rules and regulations, we have to accept that. we may not like it the only way consumers can battle against the airlines having crammed more and more people into the same plane is by no flying. unfortunately we're in a situation where we don't have a lot of choices if you're not crammed in the back, you have to pay a lot more
5:36 am
to sit up in the front >> and to that point, charlie, let's go over this people are not not flying, they're not voting with their pocketbooks, they're not voting with their feet. the air is more crowded than ever i know we all complain about it. i do i hate being claimed into these seats but we're not voting with our pocketbooks. >> i think if we just go by comfort, we'll end up with the short end of the stick. but if we evaluate by safety, there is a chance that people can't be evacuated as they say they can be evacuated. >> well, number one, people do vote with their pocketbooks.
5:37 am
number two is the schedule seats are a competitive issue. when you buy seats for a new airpla airplane, there are a number of manufacturers saying we have more comfort per seat. there's a lot of marketing in this but really people say cheapest flight to san francisco and that's the one this usually buy if the schedule's appropriate. it's not about seats but at the same time more people are flying because they can afford to fly. >> gentlemen, we will continue to watch but i want to thank both of you for your time today. >> thank you >> now here's a look at what's making news as we head into a new week on "the money." a strong jobs report for the month of july. the commit created more than 200,000 jobs last month.
