Let's say good morning to Carlos Ramirez in the W traffic center. Very good morning to you as well, Rich. So far, if you're headed northbound on I -95, not going to see much trouble in Virginia headed through Woodbridge up towards Springfield. Southbound 395, slightly different story. You got a work zone between about Seminary Road and the Little River Turnpike. You're going to have a couple lanes getting by over on the right. Outbound 395 headed past the Case Bridge. Looks like most of the activity is now in the express lanes. At least that's the angle that I'm looking at here. You should have some activity in both the main lanes and the express lanes. Should be on the left side the of main lanes. Northbound I -295, the crash is still there near Blue Plains but looks like most of the roadway is available once again, though still slow. Follow police direction. If you're making your way along Pennsylvania Avenue, watch out near Minnesota Avenue. They got an accident scene through there. If you're making your way on 450, reports of a crash near Edmondston Road, outer loop at the beltway. All that crash activity before Georgia Avenue has been confined to the far right shoulder. I I -95, VW Parkway looking good, 270 looking great so far. 355 did have some downed wires there along 355, the Rockville Pike right by Cedar Lane and Jonesbridge Road. Sounds like that's still case. the Do follow any police direction in the area. If you're down in Virginia, 66 looks good. Although if you're headed eastbound, slightly suspicious slowdown headed past the Fairfax County Parkway. Though I don't see it in camera, I will say southbound Fairfax County

"IHOP, we're talking about international House of prayer, Kansas City, headed up by Mike bickle for many, many years. Now, Mike, what is the website for this 21 day fast to pray fast and pray for Israel? What is the website? And I have it on my screen. It's Isaiah 62 fast dot com or just Isaiah 62 dot com. That's good enough. And you will get right to that. And it's a list of all the ministries that are saying, we're committed to pray one hour a day for 21 days with at least two or three people. Not like a thousand people, and they don't might not even pray together in a room. They might do it virtually on their phone in three different cars. It doesn't matter, or they might join another web stream, there's thousands of web streams that are Tapping into this, and they just pray with someone else. Okay. Now, before Ken fish gets the opportunity to ask you the question, I'll ask you the question. Why? Why are you amassing people to pray and fast for Israel, the website is Isaiah, 62 fast dot com. Isaiah 62 fast dot com. But the question, many people are wondering why? Well, Israel unquestionably, although most will agree with this, will be in their greatest crisis in May in May and June of this year of their 75 year history since becoming a nation in 1948. That's a big statement. Right. So right there, I didn't know that. I was talking to my friend malachi, O'Brien, who was talking to you that he kind of gave me a little bit of this. When I was talking to Ken fish before you came on the call, he was giving me a little bit of this, but most people are not aware of this. The

Christians Are Sticking Their Necks Out For Israel
"I was with you at IHOP, Ken and I were there two years ago two summers ago. And you told the story the story, you kind of gave your end times exegesis of how the Christians, the Jesus believers, were going to stick their necks out for Israel and for the chiefs. And now that would be a powerful witness to Jews around the world to say, this is weird. We are having our, you know, the world wants to wipe us out and it's these born again Christians, these serious Jesus people sticking their necks out more than anybody else, you know, three weeks of fasting and prayer for Israel at a time when anybody in Israel who's paying attention understands they're facing an existential crisis. They're facing being wiped out, the facing the whole world turning against them. And a bunch of Jesus freaks led by Mike bickle are fasting and praying for. So it seems fascinating to me in terms of the witness that this will have for Jews. That

Millions Will Gather for a 21-Day Prayer & Fasting for Israel
"Today's kind of a special edition of the program where I'm having a conversation with my friends Ken fish and Mike bickle about something really, really extraordinary that Mike bickle is involved in. He has, he's never done this before. He's calling the whole world. Christian organizations around the world literally millions of people to participate in a 21 day prayer and fasting for Israel. It's a very big deal. And I thought I want my audience to hear this conversation. So even though I did it on Ken fish's podcast, we're airing it today for you. 40 years ago, 1983, I was 27 years old. I'm 67 now. I had a young adult church, 500 of us in May of 1983 in a very dramatic way. I won't tell the story. He called us to a 21 day fast. We spent many hours a day in a prayer room, our young adult congregation. It was pretty rough, pretty boring, pretty hard, but about 5 or 6 Supernatural things happened in May 1983. I'm not going to go into it. But the point is for 40 years, the my ministry here in Kansas City with the IHOP, the international prayer for the last 24, I pastored 16 and IHOP for 24. That's the 40 years. All 40 years I've said may 83 was the most significant three weeks in my ministry by far because of these 5 or 6 Supernatural things. So that's .1. So now it's January this year three months ago. My leadership team said, hey Mike, we're coming up to the 40 year anniversary of that 21 day fast and may 83. Let's do it again. And I said, actually, honestly, I said, no. They said, no, it's amazing. Let's do it again. I go, well, not let's. Most of you, we're not born 40 years ago. So it was rough. But you said these 5 or 6 Supernatural things happen. They did. But that doesn't mean we can pass together.

"Carl. Hilton for the stay. So yes, people. Those are your green flags. So the green flags are good flags. We know red flags is when you have to be cautious of your partner like their suits at your probably not a good match. But the green flag is in a relationship is that you like to form a healthy bond with each other. And that's something you want with your partner. You want a healthy bond with each other. You want to be in a relationship where, you know, it feels like this is my best friend. I'm having fun. It's give and take. It's not one sided. You wouldn't be in that kind of relationship. You want to feel settled and comfortable. You want to be like really relaxed with yourself, you know, you want to know, you want to know, you know, I'm not, I don't want to have anxiety with my partner, 'cause you know, you can have anxiety with your partner. Your partner can cause anxiety. So you want to be on people, you know, people are emotional beings. So it's like they feelings be all over the place. And always pay attention to your intuition. You know, pay attention to how your partner makes your intuition feel. Like if you feel like something is off, then it's like, it really do be off. So you want to pay attention to how your partner is making you feel how your partner is respecting you, you know, you want to pay attention to all these things. So if you have these green flags with your partner then you're bound to have a great partnership, a great relationship.

"For movies. Sean, what was your second pick? I hope it was mean gun 16 9 ratio. My alternative pick was Twilight. Damn. I really like that dude. I'm about to watch the extended. On Amazon Prime. Anna Kendrick is in that? That's my boo. She's on my mind. Honestly, it's such a fucking garbage movie. Isabella Roosevelt? Enjoyable. It's like the entire movie was filmed with a blue filter, just over the entire thing, because they're in Pacific Northwest, where it's always cloudy. That's why the vampires live there. That's how I feel like Harry Potter three through 7 is shot. Yes, it has that same except instead of blue. It's like greenish. It's like goldish blue. Like a teal. Yeah. Yeah. But no, Twilight. No, I decided to go over the top. Yeah. Literally. The first Twilight I love her the top. Oh, we'll get there. Yeah. And we're gonna do that podcast with our hats on backwards, by the way. Damn right. We have to. Well, no, they're gonna be on forwards at the start of the podcast. And then halfway through, we're all gonna turn our hats. And God, I get to bust out my this is my first Sylvester Stallone podcast. I get the bus down here. We're all gonna be wearing long Johns, and the butt flap is gonna be down. And I want to make a motion right now. We never wait. We never use the phrase butt flap again. Part of the movie is budget your hanging out. I just feel like you should do it at the same time. If you're gonna turn your hat around backwards, you should also have long Johns on and butt flaps should come down. At the same time. Sure. I agree. Spend another episode of cinema vino. Yeah. This is a question for next episode. This is a question for scholars quite frankly. Long John's with the butt flap down? Yeah, but what I'm saying is like so you turn your head and he's like, just fall down? Yeah. That sounds like something you would order it like a village in IHOP. Can I get a whole plate along with the butt flap down, please? Saucer no sauce, sauce. Got some orange juice. Well, but flap down is like a very runny omelet, right? That's so gross. It's like an omelet. It got away from you. You're like, well, it was almost an omelet. It reminds me. Now if you were on a desolated island, and you only had one food you could eat, would it be butt flap omelets? We gotta ask, say that real quick. All right, you were on a deserted island, right? You got one palm tree, it's like 30 feet by 30 feet, radius. You can only have one now my answer to give you an idea was essentially breakfast food. I said omelet bar. If you had one kind or one type of food that you could only eat for the rest of your life. There's no real limitation to what you can answer here. You can honestly put anything you want. And not for nothing but the batteries run low and I kind of hope it runs down before it tastes as a word. Yeah. Well, it's sandwiches. Because you can make any pizza sandwiches. Subway? Yeah, you could have a sandwich. Of anything. Can you eat that fresh? Yeah, you can eat fresh.

to think about that If restaurant if food costs are about 25% of a restaurant's menu you've got to raise prices two and a half percent to cover 10% of inflation Right Historically our franchisees raise their prices and it's the franchisees who do this One to 3% a year Last year it was three to 4% So they were covering the cost of goods and a little bit also of labor Another way to think about it is all you can eat pancakes at IHOP If that price goes up 15 I'm sorry Two and a half percent That's about 15 to 18 cents And so our brands are all about value and our franchisees are balancing now their margins with making sure we still maintain that value How much guidance do you give them on that Because I mean the calculus I mean yeah sure 18 cents on pancakes doesn't really matter But people also look at the total bill And if you're used to going to a restaurant with your family and spending say 50 bucks or a hundred bucks And then you go back and now it's a 110 instead of a hundred here People notice that Traffic is his up Since last year and it's been increasing every quarter throughout 2020 21 and now into 22 At a time when prices are rising a little bit more than they have they have in the past And if you join the Applebee's the IHOP system is a franchisee you know that you're joining restaurants that are all about value And delivering value to our consumers And so while we can't tell them how to price we're very much aligned on the strategy that it's important that they protect their margins But we can't move ourselves out of this value proposition You talk a lot about the mix People who are eating in versus the takeout that we saw in the pandemic does that mix stay the way it has been in the pandemic How do those trends shift when we are now thinking we're fully back to being reopened The off premise business is something that is a great really benefit of what happened during COVID for us So we were our off prem business was less than 10% of our mix before COVID Now it's north of 25% for both brands and the absolute dollar value of that about $9000 a week for IHOP 13 or $14,000 for Applebee's has been steady for 15 16 17 months So we view that as incremental business that we need to nurture and grow which is why we've been investing so much in technology Applebee's dot com IHOP dot com flips dot com our new IHOP to go concept as well as the related apps are all new last year and this year to really facilitate all the to go business that we now have To invest in technology you need people need people at the parent company but also talking to your franchisees a lot about their own labor as well You're talking a little bit about trying to offset the costs How is labor right now for you as an executive It's getting better So the last couple of quarters in 2020 we were flat at about 85% of full staffing and now we're north of 90% And this is just in the last January February the last couple of months And I'll give you an interesting statistic on that We did a Applebee's national hiring day through social media digital back in May and we attracted 40,000 applicants We did it again last week and had more than 70,000 applicants Why Because people are coming back to work And we've talked about is the great retirement permanent Why is it Don't know why it is but it's seeming less permanent than we once thought Another great stat from this hiring day we had a 155% increase in applications for cooks which is our hardest job to fill So that's an indication to us that people are coming back to work And when they come back to work it's great to work it out with these in IHOP Is it too early to start talking about expansion I mean investors kind of want to know when that resumes if at all We opened 45 restaurants last year And so that's the best we've done since pre-pandemic And so that's an indication to us that our franchisees are beginning to pivot from defense to offense and they're becoming confident enough to begin opening restaurants again That was John Payton global CEO of dine brands with Bloomberg's romaine bostick Taylor Riggs and Caroline Hyde.

"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. For some odd reason I have been craving pancakes and sausage for about three or four months now. Now I know I can make pancakes and we've actually had pancakes at least once or twice, but it hasn't covered the craving, and I don't know if that means I'm really not craving pancakes and sausage, but I'm craving something else. There aren't a lot of places to go out and get pancakes here in Nashville we do have the famed pancake pantry. Now with two locations here in Nashville, but those are just big old fancy pancakes that aren't that good. They're not that filling. I don't know what I'm looking for. I don't know what I want. We have IHOP and I'll be the first to admit I hop today. There's nowhere near what it was back when they were the international House of pancakes. But for some reason, just a stack of pancakes, okay more than a stack, maybe a couple of stacks of pancakes. And some sausage. That's what I want. I think it's just the experience of what it was like to go out and have a big old Saturday breakfast filled with pancakes and sausage and everything that came with it. Yeah, that's really what I'm craving because those were good memories and their old memories because I can't eat like that anymore. I probably shouldn't eat like that, even if I tried. Pancakes and sausage sound real good right now. I just don't know what to do.

"Of, I think it's fear that keeps us from progression because it's like, well, I don't know what the world's gonna look like if we change. And everybody gets along. But again, there is no progression without change. Right. So I'd love to view humans as not all that as we think. You know? Yeah. It's just like these advanced creatures. But we're struggling with something so basic, that if we were to look at another animal, we would like really that. Pandas, eat something else, honestly. Just bamboo. And this is why you're dying. Come on, eat something. They really dying. Are they dying? I remember this as a kid. A pandas, they're going extinct. And it's like because they only eat bamboo and there's no bamboo in the forest. I'm like, eat something else? But just the same to us, it's like it was advanced species looking at humans and being like, really racism, war, this is what you guys are getting tripped up on. It's just so ridiculous. And you know, but I think it always requires the ability to, well, to step back on a worldview that every single human doesn't have quite that access. For various reasons, they don't have the access to be able to step back and look. And sort of just a lot of people are just trying to live. Basically, through their lives and get through it, is another fact. What time do they have to fix their trauma or fix the lives around them when they're just trying to eat and live and get past today? I think that's one of the things keeping us back. And then the fact that we think we're all that that there is a lot of issues for everyone not everyone has the ability to think on this level because of their life. And I think we're just very much babies and the evolutionary process. It's very baby. I think so happy to a point where we can think and communicate without ever speaking, maybe we can get to flight. Maybe we can go to going through dimensions and time travel. I think we could do all of that. And that is in advancement that if we survive our basic shit, we can get to, or we won't. We won't. No big deal. But then I don't know if I'm sorry, go because I already cut you off once. No, it's fine. No, I was just going to say, or we won't. And then my fear is that, you know, well, then we start over. We start completely over. Big Bang all over again. We start over until we get it right. Well, I mean, like, right now in this, here's random crazy fact. In our galaxy, where we are floating around our galaxy apparently we're in a kind of a group of clusters of stars that are like old sin. And we're in kind of like in the old granny IHOP section of IHOP like with all the granny's. And we are like some young teen planet just getting started. Oh yeah. So apparently like on the very basic, the more in the center of the galaxy you are the newer you are. And of course, the further away from the center, the old expands. So we're on the outer edge and we're kind of old part when old arm of the galaxy. So we're at the part. We're just getting to the party, but the party's been going on for so long. We're late to the waking on this and of the galaxy. So just in this end of the galaxy we're late to the party. Oh, see, and I have this theory that the human species, again, I don't have no idea if this is true. But I have a theory that the human species is only about 5 or 6 years old. Like evolutionarily speaking like we're only about 5 or 6 years old. So we deal with things the way that a 5 or 6 year old would deal with them. So we throw temper tantrums war. We get really depressed and we all COVID all locked inside can't do it. Like, you know, all of these things like as a species, we are reacting the way that any 5 or 6 year old would. And so you gotta be nicer to yourself. The time to be nice information being sent to you from your mind and your body that is, that is just automatic. But you have the ability in your brain somewhere and all of a sudden your body to say this information that I'm being presented and I've been given, I'm going to say no to. So the example of I get angry when I'm scared. I'm going to say, no, I'm not going to get angry. Even though it's the first feeling, again, there's nothing I could stop it. It's in my nature. It's what I am. But I can then use my mind to kind of calm it down or completely push it out of the way. And that is an advancement. That is not my animal just doing whatever my animal will do. I will then take control of my body and mind with a kind of a third self, my spirit, my whatever, and that power is what we have and if we keep harnessing that power to fix these little things or big things, then I think that's very useful to us. And that's what our imagination is all for, I think, to shape our reality and to get past these little things, like the flight and flights and ridiculous anger and fighting like kids. Like we have the ability to get past that and we have it right now. But it's new, I think. Yeah. Well, you know, a couple of thousands of years. We have this advancement in our imagination. And if we can get just past this little bubble, we can get further and onto it and who knows what advancements in life are already out there in the universe and what they look like. And us getting there, I don't mean me. I will never see it. You won't no one alive here will see it. No, animal on this planet. We'll see that future. Maybe we will. We just won't remember. But there are offspring will. There's a deja vu is. They're trauma will be collected. They will be passed on that information will be there. It will be there. Our essence and everything that I lived well, you know, I probably won't have kids. But you know, most of our sisters will be passed along to those kids and kids and kids and kids. So maybe I'm not 100% on any sort of belief reincarnation. But if my information gets to be passed along, if I have offspring, man, that's reincarnation right there. If not information.

Would work. No. Like Waffle House, But maybe somebody should open the International house, the House of International Waffles. Mm. The house like you know, McDonald's has the big Mac, get get the big Nick the guy I have a perfect breakfast breakfast sandwich. I described this to Bonnie. Just a couple of maybe a week ago or so. And it's exactly the guts you think it is. It's some thick cut crispy bacon. You know one or two eggs depending on how big you want the sandwich to be. I like my eggs or easier like the eggs to be sort of the sauce of the sandwich and everything. And then one of those those frozen eyes behalf brown Patties, but all like broiled up so nice and crispy brown on both sides. And that's the guts of your sandwich. Now the outsides of your sandwich are Texas toast but prepared in the following way. They're prepared as if they were French toast and in the batter for the French toast. You actually pour some real New Hampshire maple frickin syrup by five into the batter, and this kind of gives it like a Ah, better, more higher quality Muk griddles vibe, right McGriddle there like the little pancakes with the leg baked in certain flavor. It's nothing like that. Because it's not so processed. Right? You're just doing French toast of the little maple syrup in the batter and those of your top and bottom for your sandwich. So then you know you get the first piece of bread down. You put the half drowned Patty on it. Then you put the cheese. Bacon, the eggs, right. Maybe another layer cheese If you're feeling bumptious, and then you put the other thing on it, maybe cut it in half and wrap it in the thing and serve it. Boom. Nice to do the breakfast sandwich with Eggo Waffle braids. Oh, nice, right. Well, that's good. Yes, I like it. Never out of the syrup. You could You should.

"Favorite of mine. Every time Billy Joel happens, I'm going to sing along in my head and try not to do it here on the radio. Alison sent me a great story from Tic Tac and IHOP hostess turned away Adam Sandler. He's wearing a mask. But you could evidently tell that's Adam Sandler in the viral tic tac video. It is pretty funny on I do have another story about a celebrity once getting turned away. But Alison, this is viral on the Internet. Oh, yeah, Apparently she's getting a whole bunch of flak because there's a 30 minute wait, and she Told Adam Sandler, who she didn't know It's Adam Sandler. You're going to wait. 30 minutes means like man, and then he walks out the door. Of course he does. Now. It is interesting, though, because the whole like celebrity rule that they get seated. Even though there's a weight thing. I don't like that rule. So I love the fact that this hostess what tried to make Adam Sandler wait like everybody else. He's the regular guy of celebrities, isn't he? Yeah, definitely. And that's I'm surprised you didn't catch because I mean, he's always wearing basketball shorts like I thought, That's his thing. You know, basketball starts in like a heavy T shirt or something. So I just thought it's funny. No and honestly out of like all the celebrities to be wearing a mask, and maybe, like Adam Sandler, I can tell it's him immediately. By the way, he carries himself. He could have a full face thing on and his iconic voice, you know, and right. Yeah, he should have, like sang a little bit of one of those songs were played one of his iconic characters, and then maybe she wouldn't let him in. Oh, but I do you think that's funny? I have this story. I heard it years ago. I think it's from the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Taylor Swift before she was famous, used to show up at the Jimmy Kimmel Show and asked to perform for the producers in order to maybe be booked one day on the show. Now granted, that probably happens all the time in the world of like television that someone shows up and says, Hey, I'm a talented artist. Can you listen to my music? You turned away Taylor Swift. They said no to her several times, and when she became super famous, I remember an interview or Jimmy. I think pretended to fire the person that had said no to her all those years. Oh, my gosh. That's great, right? You never know. You never know where people Sees that I don't want all of a sudden a flood of people to start saying, Well, the WNBC people they'll listen to anybody. We will not still got to be a little selective, but at the same time it's going to go viral and in the world of Internet and in the world of I, Hopper, I guess what I'm trying to say is tick tack are you're definitely going to see these kind of like that. She shared it, though. She put it out there. Yes, I had it her mistake. Exactly. I have a question about another story that you sent me and I just I hate this story. I just don't understand. I don't want Maura. These to exist. The disaster girl mean which I already said words that a lot of people don't understand, but that's fine. Sold for a a lot of money as an N F t on day again. And then if he is something that a lot of people don't understand the amount of money is what is going on. Do you have any opinion as to why Mean, printed off is a photo or whatever can sell for almost $500,000 as a non fungible token. Well, okay, first off. This is a very millennial story. So I apologize. It is. It's totally fine. But yeah, I wanted to cover But the team is basically houses on fire in this little girl is looking into the camera. All evil like So it's just kind of a funny mean that's gone viral. Now she's like 21 years old and she's decided tow. Take her picture that she owns and sell it for this, you know, crypto currency, which I'm still very fused about. She made what $400,000 or something It's almost $500,000. She made $473,000 for the photo. But what scares me the most? Is that little thing you said at the end, she sold it specifically as an N F T and non fungible token, which means something that is finite in the world of technology. Essentially, it's not something that you could make more of Bitcoin. Is finite. That's why it's valuable. I guess we can't do this. We can't have every photo every mean every single thing out there in the world starts selling. As quote unquote empties our society as a whole will crumble. Alice and I can't let this continue. I know honestly, we're in the wrong business. We need to just we didn't start taking put photos of things and selling them, I guess. Right as many random photos as we can, until one kind of sort of takes off and then cash in immediately. Can I have you explain one more story? Actually, that you sent this morning that I loved, Of course. Okay, A big duck named Longbow when viral for all the wrong reasons. That's the headline from the Huffington Post. Just give me a quick what happened? Why did have a duck go viral? Okay. This made me laugh so hard. I just random I saw on Twitter. There is a hashtag along, boy, and it's be Oi. So I should've brought my bed. No, that's okay again. Very millennial stories today and it's this mallard duck that is found at this university in England. And he's literally it looks like he's like three ft. Tall, like his neck is he looks insane. All retweeted are WNBC Twitter so people can see where I literally was like laughing out loud, like he's called Long Boy, and he's has his own instagram. Now and now, he said, Yes, social media famous. I'm sure he'll get a brain deal or something. But you know what? I hate about the fact that like these, these gimmicky things come out on social media. I wind up following them. There was a little kid of like, baby that was Chef chef Kobe and I followed his instagram everything a year. He didn't know what he was doing, but they put him in front of like cooking stuff and he was making food I follow. I'll follow anything gimmicky. So long boy is probably my newest social media obsession. I'm not recommending anyone else do this. These are things that probably shouldn't exist in the world, but they are funny stories. The Friday I love them, and I wanted you to jump in and give me a few of those. This one is is great, though I wonder if a photo of long boy can ever be sold as an N F T. And how much money would make I feel like you would definitely make more than 400,000. I mean, There's bedrooms through. We got to just quit. We all just got to get out. Let's just take photos and do that for a living thing Makes no sense. The world we're in. All right, I gotta take a break. We got traffic.

It was 30 minutes, and then he left so her tic tac was you're saying like I didn't realize that that was Adam Sandler and I'm telling him it's a 30 minute wait for IHOP, and he, of course leaves because he's not gonna wait 30 minutes for IHOP. But what made this go viral and what people are commenting on is the fact that Adam Sandler didn't say like I'm Adam Sandler. Give me table, right, right. Just like a normal person was like, Okay.

But that doesn't mean potential Retail workers feel safe, Shawn Ashworth AlixPartners says. A lot of people are worried about getting sick and they're asking themselves Do I want to go back into retail and work in an environment with high contact with other employees and customers? Or do I want to consider work from home job? A lot of people who used to work in retail have probably found other jobs at home or not. Jed Kolko is chief economist at indeed, during insured when retail wasn't hiring many people, other sectors were manufacturing, warehousing, driving, jobs, Pharmacy and other help Your lady jobs. One obvious way for retailers to attract workers would be to offer more money. And Andy Challenger says some are giving bonuses. But when you look at like small retailers, small restaurants, those businesses have been under enormous pressure for a year. It's been a really, really difficult environment. It's easier for the big retailers. Mariel Sierra for

Airlines Planning Their Futures With The Possibility Of A Third Runway At Heathrow Airport
"Seven years until the first aircraft are due to be cleared for takeoff on Heathrow's plan third runway and such has been the history of the project this may be an optimistic estimate this does not stop airlines planning for it however not least Virgin Atlantic which has announced that it hopes to use an expanded Heathrow to service eighty eighty four new destinations thirty five of them long-haul including Sydney Lima Calgary Beijing and Buenos Ayres joined with more on this by LS Taylor Asia editor at the aviation analytics firm CERIUM LS seriously. How much mileage is there in an airline planning for what it's going to do with Heathrow's food runway well you could sort of say that Virgin Atlantic really getting out there ahead of the runway and trying to stake a claim for for a number of thoughts that would really been up quite a number of new routes for them and bring a lot of competition to the Heathrow market but you know it's a long way out and there's a lot of water that has to pass under the bridge a before the runway actually gets going and be to make sure that they actually get the slots that they wouldn't eight to operate all these flights. It's a pretty ambitious claim and bold putting it out there but I guess you have to start somewhere and then going hard so is this basically politicking by Virgin Atlantic. They're throwing down a market here very much so and really what they're attacking is the way that slots are allocated Ed. Hey throw the current logic sort of says that when the new runway opens and opens up a bunch of new slots for flights to come in and out is it they'll probably followed. Loyd the same way that they allocated and then that sees British Airways of course control a bit over half the slots there so be has been planning on taking a quite a lion's share of that so we've also saying that other airlines like Easyjet have shown some interest in to Heathrow if those slots became available so that have to pull up quite a coup to get all these additional also they would need to launch all these routes and then there's other things with the agreements between the United Kingdom and other Asian countries with actual slots from the other countries to fly there too so lot to sort out well you invoke the the name of Virgin Atlantic's Great Nemesis British Airways is is this staking of acclaimed by Virgin Atlantic something that should be seen within in the context of rivalry. I think that's a large part of it but the other big driver is that one of the big companies behind Virgin Atlantic apart from Richard Branson his Delta Airlines and since Delta bought a forty nine percent stake in the airline. They've really gone about who expand it and push it into different markets obviously tying up with Delta's network in the United States but Delta also has greg global ambitions and I think what we're seeing a bit here is Delta of pushing virgin to become part of that more global network that they're looking to build you should we therefore Frantisek county new or counterclaim by British Airways or or might they rise loftily above it. Is this one of those rivalries that matters rather all the more to the small participant on the larger one. I think in this one that British Airways again to probably fight back quite what quite strongly on that we've already seen some comments from the parent company. IHOP essentially saying that vision has a number of slots releasing out to other airlines. I want they using those I I think there's going to be very much a scramble on offer win. These thoughts do come available not only with the eye but with other foreign airlines as well who would like to increase capacity to throw so it'll be interesting to see what bonfire emerges at that time. What is the current thinking among airlines on. How likely the third runway actually happening is? I think a lot of airlines are quite hurtful but many airlines have also have been through this process any number of times. I think the third run wise been talked about for certainly as long as I've been in the industry that's been quite a while. Oh and with you politics being the why they are not that I'm any expert on that Boris Johnson of course famously put forward the Boris Laurus oil and alternative to to Heathrow while back so I suspect it might be hard to to get through but the reality is at the same time that Heathrow does need the additional runway needs the capacity and not doing so really hurt the economy of London mean all the things that could still happen to stop it from happening joining not too sure on the specifics at this point in time it it does look like it. It will go ahead but having said that we've been through that a few times before where it's been given the clearest indication that yes everything is going through and then something upsets the plan and it gets pushed further down the road. It's a I wouldn't necessarily rule out that happening again but really it is kind of you could actually passed the crunch point now. we act which this needs to be built. You made a brief allusion their to the current state of British politics and the B word does affect infect almost everything the thing is there any doubt in aviation circles about whether or not the fact of Brexit might have an impact on Heathrow as an important air how or do people just take the for granted as part of the architecture travel it has been something that has caused a bit of angst previously for a lot of airlines and I'm trying to work out how things will work pice brexit world. It seems that that angst is largely been assuaged that most airlines have their structures sit up to to work with you. Have that will work I think it's inevitable that even though brexit could cause some economic disruption that London will still be a city that lots of people will visit. It's going to be a place where people connect between North America through the rest of Europe and Africa and other continents so inevitably Heathrow itself itself. I think still has a a lodge harold apply now. Let's tell thank you for joining us.
