Full Episode
So you've been flying for a living since 1991, so that's almost 35 years, which is amazing. For the rest of us, we're about the same age. It seems like commercial air travel in the United States has declined in, like, at a shocking rate. It's just much worse. A lot of things have gotten better. We have the Internet and iPhones. Why is commercial air travel in this country...
and not around the world, but in this country specifically, like much worse than it was. What is that? Well, I think,
Legitimately, there's been a corporate change in this country. ESG started to take over. You've got the Larry Finks of the world that are driving corporations or CEOs toward issues that not necessarily are customer oriented.
Yeah. So when... Oh, ESG doesn't help the customer?
Well, not the internal customer anyway. So as we go through this process, this slow creep, those need to set an investment score. People with differing ideas of customer service and what's important are able to drive forward their message. So we get away from customer service. Airlines run on three things, right? They run on fuel, planes, and people. When we start taking...
The people out of the mix, right, because it's all about buy more airplanes. It's about driving that score so we can drive the share prices so that we can then get the lower financing rate to get airplanes. We go away from that time when a Gordon Bethune or a Herb Kelleher said, you take care of your internal people. They'll take care of your customer. So everything's bottom line now, Tucker.
And yet ESG is not really, like, strictly speaking, bottom line. It pleases Larry Fink, who's probably done more than any person to really hurt this country, but sidebar. But it, you know, for your average customer, you're like, well, You get the feeling that like incompetent people are in air traffic control, incompetent people are in the cockpit.
I don't know if that's true or not, but it shakes people's faith, scares the crap out of people. And then planes start crashing and you're like, that's why. That seems like against the core interests of the business.
I would agree, but because people at the corporate level want to drive the interest rates down to be able to grow because it's all about expanding, who is the biggest, right? And so they have to follow some of those mandates.
