mini snowstorm from garden city to dodge city, kansas and eventually trying to work its way towards wichitawe have a large area here under winter weather advisories, even a winter storm warning from woodward, oklahoma, northwards, and this sliver, we think we could get an additional 4 inches of snow. probably school cancellations and significant delays there. some will move to joplin and spr springfield, missouri, but nothing too bad. the dallas area by about noon today you should be about all clear. houston, afternoon showers and storms. this is at 6:00 p.m., are the rain towards texarkana, and then tomorrow morning, new orleans into areas of southern mississippi will get some of that, and we'll have a little bit of snow possible in areas of missouri, and nthen tomorrow during the day, atlanta and florida. the east coast looks gorgeous, no problems at all. mid-40s, pretty mild for this time of year, not quite as warm as yesterday. all the troublesome weather is in the middle of the country. remember i was saying yesterday, the weekend storm would miss and be off the coast. a fewer have clo

and engineers to the facility that was producing b-29's in wichita and they fight a battle called the battle of kansas. rollthey do is when they the airplanes off the production 50e to the tarmac and make to 55 major changes on the tarmac. this is in march of 1944 in kansas. it is freezing. temperatures, driving blizzards, the worst circumstances and yet they are out there doing it to make this airplane fly. bottom theyn the disconnect every single electrical circuit to put a new engine in. this is a bit of an eye chart so i will skip over it. the 20th air force is going to be controlled directly by hep arnold and the chiefs. recognize there was not a great deal of unity of command and this concerned arnold a great deal. arnold a great deal and he especially did not want his prized b-29s to go to the navy or macarthur and kenny. it probably could have made contributions to all those places and they all wanted it, but arnold was determined this was going to be a long-range strategic bomber for japan. once the airplanes already, they leave from kansas and they do this around the world trip to get to the

somebody who once lived in wichita and covered aero space there, i know from talking to people down there that they are engaging, spirit is engaging with the state of kansas to do something in terms of compensating employees who might be temporarily laid off until they could bring max production bax. >> so a couple of questions here for you, phil. if they are redeploying the workers, once they're able, if they are, to get this max production bark on schedule, how quickly can they get them back >> it takes a while to wake up the line you can't just snap and it is ready to go. just as it takes a while to wind production down and the last one is coming through the assembly line over the next week or so. they announced this back a couple of weeks ago. it also will take a while to wake it back up. so they'll be strategic in terms of saying, okay, we need these workers to come in and those who are assisting in terms of parked max aircraft, let's say at moses lake, maybe a time frame when they come back into the factory. >> so obviously we've gone through the settlements and a lot of numbers to chase in this story, phil. what are the big unknowns when it comes t

. >> not on the wichita herald if they are still covering kansas-kansas state brawl.e. that's a huge deal in a huge de. the big news is local and that's big local news. >> it's also a reflection of what they actually want people to be paying attention to. there's a lot of editorial decisions that come into play. in the clinton impeachment hearings, you have more people reading newspapers. that was sex, violence, power, a lot of people wanted to pay attention. a lot of this has to do with whether or not you actually feel like jump is guilty. they're going to take this and put it below the coupons. they're not going to pay as muff attenti -- much attention. >> one, is there bad stuff in there and, two, is it covered that way? >> i agree with the points eugene and jason have made, but i think the question becomes what is newsworthy and breaking news and something that feels big, if there was some new smoking gun on donald trump, i think you would see it even in local papers perhaps, at least taking up a little bit more space. and i think that's part of the challenge and

represent wichita, the air capital of the world we are an aerospace and aviation center spirit arrow systems which manufactures 90% of the fuselage, 90% of the 737 is headquartered here in kansass huge consequences economically of course, the answer is recertification, determination of safety. let me certainly make -- it's not a caveat because it's a central principle of mine. i didn't want anything to be decided when the 737 was grounded based upon politics it needed to be based upon science and safety, and i would say the same thing in recertification, science and safety so i'm not asking for any kind of shortcut, but the focus by boeing in particular and the faa needs to be getting us to the point -- i'm surprised it's taken so long and perhaps new leadership at boeing can make this process work more smoothly, be more transparent and get a better relationship perhaps with the faa and get this airplane back to where it is known to be safe in the absence of that, there's a lot of damage being done and will be done in kansas certainly with lack of manufacturing boeing's decision to stop production of the 737 max, that means there's a lot of jobs, at least temporarily at stake,
