south by southwest is incredibly brand driven.ands can be a bit corrupting but at the same time, i think that the film festival itself by south by southwest is so divided from a lot of the brand installations that it is not, it is not as corrupting i would say. it is not as sort of insiduous as it may seem. i am proud to be an american. but we have to rise to that promise. there were a lot of political documentaries at the festival this year. well received, was the sundance favourite knock down the house focusing on four women running for congress and at least one documentary covered activities in the lone star state, called ernie & joe. it followed two police officers in san antonio police department who practise a new approach to policing. recognising that many of the individuals they are dealing with from emergency calls are mentally ill, the officers are specially trained to respond, not with force but compassion. if it takes me all day long to convince them that we are not going to hurt them and they are going to come with us

we should know that southwests that 34 737 max 8s.s a disruption because the planes are in the air and being boarded and you're talking about a domino effect because other connections have to be made. that will have a fairly significant impact on the day and the coming days for southwest airlines, which is why they're asking for a clarification from the faa. like how long is this ground stop going to be, what is the deal and what is the reason for all of this. if you go over to american airlines, it has 24 max 8s, 2% of their fleet, 135 flight as day. it will put some flyers in a pickle. united airlines is flying the max 9s. 1% of their need. and westjet, a regional carrier, has 13 of the max 8s. it will impact that as well. we know when you talk about the faa saying there's similarities, things they recognize the lion air crash in october and the ethiopian air crash sunday, we know the pilots of both flights tried to make it back to the airport but were unable. both had drastic flight fluctuations, which was the initial ascent. the l

the engine blew up, pierced the side of the aircraft of southwest jet.ational transportation safety board basically said at that point in time we need a close inspection to the families of this particular aircraft engine. that was the recommendation to the faa instead of the faa mandating airlines to inspect those fan blades, they made it voluntary. of course none of the airlines took the aircraft out of the service to inspeck the fan blades even after the inbegin manufacturer agreed with the ntsb saying we're not taking the aircraft out of service because that would be an adverse impact to our fleet. fast forward 18 months. the exact same thing happens to southwest flight 1380. then resulting in a debt. that is when everybody rushed for the microphones to say we are now going to order these inspections and the airline said we'll voluntarily do basically what we should have done 18 months before. i'm not surprised the faa has taken the step. i certainly hope they do. i'm waiting on american airlines and southwest saying we don't need to hear from the faa
