." >> flight 2-8-0, you can land runway one at teterboro. >> we're unable. we may end up in the hudson. >> o'brien: we also talked to the co-pilot who helped safely land flight 1549 into the hudson river. he's worried about airline maintenance, too. >> ten years ago, maintenance was virtually all done in-house by the airline that's flying the airplane. now, heavy maintenance is mostly done by people who are unrelated to the airline that's flying... that's flying you as a passenger, and sometimes not even in this country. >> o'brien: so we decided to examine the airline maintenance industry, and started at its annual convention here in phoenix. they call themselves mros, for maintenance, repair and overhaul. it's a highly competitive business. mros from all corners of the globe were here, trying to drum up business with u.s. airlines. so what's the advantage? why would... why would a u.s. airline fly an airplane all the way to turkey to get maintenance done? what's the advantage to going to turkey and your company? >> firstly, the quality is very high, and se

using again rnp procedures we can delink those airports so it doesn't matter to someone going into teterboro what's going on at newark and doing that today so we're seeing that type of delinkage in a number of airports around the country. and, you know, that's just one example. some of the optimized profile, the sense we are using today, dramatic savings in fuel. alaska airlines cites 60 gallons of kerosene every time they land coming down from alaska their high altitude approaches. they glide in. there's a tremendous savings, savings in fuel, emissions, noise, the noise footprint of people doing optimized profile descents, we can show you what goes on in louisville, kentucky, it's dramatic. so as we roll these out, it's not just a schematic anymore. these are real life operations and we deploy them as people get equipped and we get the procedures and training in place and as someone mentioned the momentum and pace is there and it will continue to accelerate. >> thank you very much. i look forward to the time we can talk more directly and thank the chairman and yield back. >> mr. kapuano. >>
