So you're not really making mental notes of everyone you come into contact with. And it's only getting worse, at least according to my mom. I know. We're getting a little more wild.

Yeah, because as the ground crew is refueling the plane and getting ready to take off again, Cooper mentioned that he wanted to depart with the aft staircase down. So like part of the plane fully open. And the pilot kind of tells him like, no, that's not possible. We can't do that. But Cooper was pretty adamant about this. So the pilot ends up reaching out to Boeing anyways.

And he learns from the engineers that while, yes, he was right, you can't take off with the staircase lowered. it can be lowered during flight. And so by all accounts, Cooper wasn't really happy with that solution, but he finally was like, that's fine and we can do it that way. Let's go, guys. So Cooper and the pilot talk about where they're going to fly next.

And Cooper says that he wants to go to Mexico City. It looks like this is over 2300 miles away and it would take around five and a half hours to get there. And that's really typical in today's air travel. Like we take five hour flights all the time. Yeah, easy. The airplane's tank wasn't big enough to get there. They just circled for three and a half hours.

That was essentially as far as they could go. So crazy. They were going to have to refuel along the way if they're going to make it all the way to Mexico City. So the crew, they basically had a huddle up and they come up with a game plan and they're like, OK, we have to make a few stops. So the first one's going to be in Reno, Nevada, and we can refuel there.

And Cooper, as this is happening, looks into the bag that they gave him full of cash. By all accounts, he's pretty happy with what he sees. So the pilot takes off again. They're heading to Reno. Cooper gets on the cabin phone once they're up in the air and he starts giving really strict instructions to the pilot. First, he says he wants the plane to fly at 10,000 feet. Really low.

The cabin's not pressurized at 10,000 feet. He said he also wants the wing flaps to be at 15 degrees and no more than 200 knots, which is about 190 miles per hour or 300 kilometers per hour, which also, again, not even fast enough to take off. When you take off, you're going faster than that.
