Civil Aviation Authority clear the 737 max for flight. And Ian hatches a plan to save Norwegian air by having the Norwegian government sell its shares in GameStop. Hello and welcome to episode 103 of AvToc. I am Ian Patchnick here as always with Jason Rabinowitz and hello Ian how's it going

Hello Jason it's snowy here

Oh we're rather Chicago it's supposed to be yeah we haven't had a lot of snow lately, but now we finally got some snow.

So I toss the kids out into a snow bank and we're all having fun.

Nice, you get free daycare for the day.

Brought you by a snowman.

That's exactly what I did.

Put the snowman to work.

But no, the snow meant I get to revel in the video footage of the snow clearance process at O'Hare, which is always fun because

you've got 112 runways and 2,632 taxiways to clear.

No, that's correct.

That is absolutely correct.

We have a lot of runways.

What are we?

We're up to eight now, I think.

Do you need eight? I guess you need eight if you have them.

I mean, who knows?

Who knows? You have as many runways as Newark and JFK plus half of Laguardia combined.

And everyone knows that half of Laguardia equals one quarter of a normal airport.

That's true. That's the airport math.
