10/27/09: Where is DEE PLANE?

" And Michael -- Weekdays tended to let me six."

" Of all the stories that are going on in America right now. What is has me scratching my head. Is the Northwest Airlines pilots who overshot. The Minneapolis airport."

" Dropped radio communications for more than an hour. There when they finally landed and got on the ground. What the heck is a lot of their guys. They -- is -- make absolutely no sense to me."

" Ever since northwest flight 188 overshot its destination by more than a hundred miles and was in radio silence for more than an hour people -- what was going on."

" Federal investigators say the pilots admit that they were doing something they weren't supposed to do. In the cockpit. They say they were using their laptop computers."

" As northwest flight 188 Crist on auto pilot that 37000. Feet right past the Minneapolis airport the NTSB says first officer Richard Cole and captain Timothy Cheney were on their personal laptops going over a new crew scheduling system. Put in place after last year's delta northwest merger in five hours of interviews the pilots admitted to investigators they failed to monitor the airplane. Failed to monitor air traffic control. Did not notice as many as eight text messages sent by the company the crew also acknowledged they lost track of times. He took a call from flight attendants to jar then back to attention."

" Made any sense at all of that any of you. I just don't buy the laptop thing at all and there's a one huge reason why don't buy the laptop. No Internet connection. If you have an Internet connection dies I absolutely the guys will lose all sense the very thing ladies."

" Be it isn't it true the sensor me and got a laptop got askew got the Internet in your house. He spend less time. Taking care business -- sand. Isn't it true ladies. That. You can't get the guy. Off the joystick the back on his joystick where he belongs since you got -- computer in the house."

" Yet so. That's. If you told me that the guys were logged onto the unit I'd say okay I got. But just isn't working on a laptop. Nothing about this. Has that ring of authenticity to me to use six or seven. 8221969. Pound -- he's now for Verizon Wireless customers. What do you think those pilots were really doing in the cockpit now this is also the topics for our confession hotline today. So if you want if you think you know what's really going on their -- comfortable sharing with a sparsely on the air. You can call 8226832. That's eighteen to 6832. The -- hotline if you wanna confess what you think is going on up there you want to reenact it go right ahead. Let us that everything is wrong including. The attitudes of the park let's like co pilot Richard Cole."

" That would cause we know we haven't heard nobody had a other than that I can tell you think. And I appreciate you guys -- stuff behind -- OK but we've more than have to tell you everything. Next week."

" I know you're not more than happy tells everything go by Richard -- How many ways is this weird. The pilot fatigue during surgical is 54. These are punks he's our kids. They're flying for northwest the not flying for. You know. Yahoo! airlines of a -- I feel. They miss an airport by and helping this -- communications for -- power power. In this whereby a hundred plus my -- And they -- you. We're on a laptop -- you're on your laptop and do on your laptop how can you will lose an hour of your life. And a freak in laptop that's not connected to the inter -- great terrible time."

" I have figured this out -- this is this case is closed they're absolutely mum playing video games you don't have to be connected to the Internet. I have god and that video games you start working on these things like what you start at eighty -- let's say a class one of these classic. Yeah. There -- no known -- and oh or. And nobody else happened. Well you get lost. Then and -- gears of war and below are some like that may be. Let well maybe I'm much better video games and you have the navy can't get to the it's video game as well --"

" And -- video game that I think it's a hoax. I think I'm gonna find out that Richard -- is somehow Malden that he was the navigator on the -- And had a balloon and he was trying to get them to release and somehow couldn't disengage and they missed the target is they're gonna release the balloon is part about the pilots relief. We're never and it adds I think if you a -- minors getting is the pilots agreed travel to on the pilots have recorded some music of their own. -- to seeing while they were piloting. And that if you listen to the music that the pilot saying. While they were in the cockpit you'll find that sounds very reminiscent. Now some music that you and I are familiar with here. On 969 Boston talks on -- is it that the laptop I was on the laptop and lost track of time the argument. Now. Not -- for me there's something and we project isn't the audio of the pilots singing in the cockpit. -- Not -- and yeah. All right let's put at how the pilot answering the question what were you doing what I did not right. Anyway so I wanna hear from you 6078221969. Pound that is the time or Verizon Wireless customers your phone calls coming up let's let the pilots on this flight. Sing us to break and see if you don't recognize the music."

" And then didn't need me -- he's seen Uday Karl yeah. I."

" talks. Commercial with the 96 to tune in hi Michelle McPhee and only seven days left until we hit the polls here in the city of Boston I -- be an immediate and quick and I mayoralty between Mayor Thomas M. Menino in his opponent Michael Larry. They get into big -- the city budget awesome school and -- your controversy coming -- well I will be -- I'll tell you weigh in on every liberty camp. 96 --"

" I am Michael Graham there is nothing comforting. In this supposedly report from the National Transportation Safety Board."

" But pilots according to the NTSB lost what's called situational awareness claiming they didn't know where they were. Or how much time had passed until one of the flight attendants knocked on the cabin door."

" Situational awareness. That it's a way of know what the hell's going on. -- no idea what the hell is going -- that's the that's what really happened here and guiding -- from Aman -- Michael ask the stewardesses had that they know what's happened excuse me flight attendants they know what's happening."

" I discard them and then went relating did you know something was. Raw under unusual not -- up."

" So what the heck was going on in that cockpit. It was 78221969. To get a theory that you liked rather not share with -- on the air. You're a confessed perhaps sometime you have lost situational awareness particular -- of all the computer. You can call the confession line at 6178226830. You have you ever lost situational awareness on a computer. If they had the Internet I would UBS's question does you some guys have lost entire weekends. On the Internet."

" We call -- arrival time. Was it difficult to get him to get them -- also. So the first time you tried it."

" Can't trust this -- maestro. -- not for the I'm gonna covered -- this guy waitresses know where their bread is buttered they're not gonna be -- nation on their back in no way or. Well maybe that's not a good metaphor but you know what I'm saying here is not gonna happen absolutely. 6722. And 969 what do you think -- that plane lost contact for an hour flew hundreds a hundred miles plus past. If that's the nation he does a new report Keith you're on 969."

" Yeah it's good morning. I know exactly what happened. It's very difficult to see it in cement what the stewardesses on pass. Understand that."

" think it's a mile high club."

" And then when you try to contain yourself time goes by. -- quickly."

" That's my problem I am I find the time goes by too quickly in other words. Not at 55 minutes to kill you know pretty -- so I don't know that's the answer this go to Suzanne in Pelham Suzanne thanks -- call -- on 969."

" Guys -- you know what they are so it definitely asleep there's no other possible explanations. But I will say -- it's mind boggling to each dictates being the laptops story somehow is better than the following its fleet story because. If that is true -- So much more available."

" We'll Susie I'm going to read to use the bullet points from the National Transportation Safety Board report okay. Eighth the pilots did not fall asleep -- or feel fatigued to be neither reported any medical conditions. C both said there were no heated arguments. NTSB. Says their preliminary. Report."

" Trying to picture you know flying the plane and I articles pilot lately and pinch myself in a position where and so lost in a video game knowing full pilot is still I I just don't get that there's no way that. These guys that than anything else happen except for being."

" And they say they weren't on -- say there are working on their scheduling software. Here's scheduling software you lose an hour of your life like what they had used actually."

" Obama demand some really good stuff like I told them that. They act it's -- to."

" Well check out my EI Internet retailers up in Pelham NC likened euphoria this go to buzz and Rhode Island buzzer on 969 has gone."

" Followed many are -- situationally aware -- I'm. -- The topic ever at but I do a lecture on your silver bubble. This is not up broke back Arctic situation. The guys are definitely --"

" I -- BC AB I mean I know this -- probably."

" it goes down all of the -- from the cockpit on to jail. Okay external negligent but you've got distracted. With something illegal like using your your laptop in the cockpit. Then. You're gonna get suspended but you'll probably get your job back into retirement some."

" Colin -- pilot Richard Cole had this reaction is Susie got up the plane."

" That would cause we know we haven't heard nobody had a other that I can tell you think. And I appreciate you guys -- stuff I'm here okay I mean I'm more than happy to tell you everything. Next week."

" He was already aware what you just said buzz that the yours a potential criminal action. Down their."

" Yeah about it I mean you know stupid to say anything at all and not a surprise because he's definitely the weak link. These NTSB a break him down. Before long but thought they had time to get their stories straight before they got to the ground but the last thing -- ever gonna admit is that they were actually. There's just too much at stake further down."

" I think should happen to these guys --"

" And -- got -- they're gone they're gone who they're not be suspended -- of -- laden sixty days. So that without pay if they get fired by the company they'll probably be out of work or two or three years trying to get their job back through the union. So that's you know there -- or anywhere now."

" Sure they ever be allowed to fly commercially again."

" Oh absolutely. -- I could tell you every slight bit longer than an hour. The guy in the cockpit are reading doing crossword puzzle done okay but the rule book the FAA ruled that. Sit there quietly and stared at the instruments. The entire time I thought if you think it's safer to try to do that and state. In the middle of the night. Or are they try to talk or do you know reads some thing mark you know try to keep yourself away. But the government has -- to sit there -- spirit instruments and you can only talk. You know I as necessary yeah I mean you can't get up in the cockpit."

" But that would that that is -- the question about these being out of radio contact me for example. You sit in there and your co pilot supposed to be awake in what you take a little nap. Okay he doses all right stuff happens but did you got the radio -- in the DO so in the -- as Joe was. They aren't they -- radioed down all off."

" you know there -- sleep. Because yeah we we thought we'd fly out of contact on a regular date let's take you 1520 minutes ago today we haven't been talking and a wild should check and but you know and that's our someone would -- that had -- wait. And actually sang what it says hey we haven't checked in on anybody in twenty minutes maybe we ought to -- so they were they are definitely sound asleep and then that. Flight attendant found a commodore they woke up or maybe -- and probably woke up. And setup so we you know we get it's plain common ground and what comment. Do the least amount to real art what what's under the least amount damaged or courier at this point and the story."

" I think you're totally wrong -- there -- or drunk. Exactly I think there was this one my tied to many -- on the planet at the blender in the --"

" Look let's go to. John in Atkinson John you're on 96 Niall Michael Graham."

" Yeah game Mike got a long not nightmares not of lot of accreditation gently quick little -- Individual would put a hot cup of coffee. And this and going cases he also dipped a little bit that hot topic in this area and -- second thing when the company -- goes off if that's silent prepare. But when the cabin. The intercom rains. It'll take that caught the out of my cup in or raised the dead. And the cargo goes into a phone not chimed -- so noisy. They won't know like to put -- air on my -- go by you can pick the gap. It is quite put it altogether I think the poor -- is -- deep trouble. Well. It's that when you when they are -- net that that cockpit recorder that they will pick up your electrical watch those things are very good. -- okay easy. I'm glad this way I'm glad amortized December 15 and I have -- pace India the FAA board that's going to be very uncomfortable."

" John thanks for the call 6178221969. Pound guys ever Verizon Wireless customers what do you think those pilots are doing up on the -- out they go -- have you ever had quote loss of situational awareness close quote particularly involving a computer also give a message for Martha Coakley earlier who said. That it's her job to fairly ensure that criminal immigrants can take your job to -- same wages. Or a message for. Us the unfortunate Steve Hadley Duca who says yeah unfortunately benefited. From the bush tax cuts -- that on our confession hotline as well 6178226832. That's a confession hotline. 6178226832. --"

" Those in power that it'll tell anybody what they -- Palin been that they did it happen come -- of applaud that."

" I think it's the cockpit I don't think is a closet Tom. It's. The forward area today it -- pilot house. These -- things."

" I guess -- anybody with a pilot particularly in the cockpit I think they weren't doing it. I'm not gonna -- your credit market leader and -- So he has back and say okay well it's go time."

" And the message."

" But -- should pronounce it like."

" I don't know I was the other half of the -- I was more -- and enjoy -- Tom."

" Those airline pilots who got -- apparently hitting a YouTube video seek your imagination as to what does -- that -- about -- in the cockpit. The airplanes and at the same time -- left it in there and ended up I would I want to of course they -- overshot the airport."

" And the message that it."

" I'm calling and -- but I think they know what those who are doing on that point I believe that they are having a very deep conversation in regard to the company's. Sexual harassment policy. Is. Thai capital by -- that we didn't they didn't. If felt so you're. Coming that would promote security could be Apollo papers and his -- squad hit something like that happen to me."

" really brilliant idea."

" Yeah -- got to hear it that is candidate sort of read it. I think -- important. Not benefiting there in my -- they'll be but because state."

" And that is sure we'll -- that as -- military this is covering his military guy right now -- Unless your address check out."

" Michael Bolton applicants and I -- the a couple of radio transmission between that flight overshot the runway by about a hundred miles. Attributed to the power. Is questionable -- I don't know what of -- transmission was because they overshot the runway by over a hundred miles. Or maybe. Maybe it's because of the recently overshot the runway. Anyway there's the translation it's very -- Almighty god."

" Oh I thought. I don't get that about as they are well I I do not do that all those disgusting. And usually. It's just seagull I like."

" I think realized that the Democrats just don't have my back as a middle class working there. One down five minutes ago."

" Yeah do northwest pilot. -- new airline called Brokeback airlines has seen that yeah. Cockpit Michael but I'll like indicted Barney Frank well the next I like the -- lost. Boot to airline pilot that overshot the runway in -- kidnapped by aliens and second at times more."

" Agree he always -- always lose time in the aliens abduct you somewhere there's an island at these guys just been like six months on."

" You saw that movie though right -- with the aliens grab the planes out of midair. And take the people men forced crash. Maybe just to get the tennis down."

" I think this is that the biggest and the idea from Dan Jones of the Obama administration did you from the other --"

" to pilot. They were running a laptop all right we will probably -- because."
