Hello and welcome to episode 2006 of Avtoc. I am E.M. Petchnick here not as always with our resident number, Gavin,

resident numbers expert, Gavin Werbiloff. Jason is in Japan. So Gavin, thank you for taking the chair and taking the microphone and joining us this week.

I'm very happy to be here. I feel like this is like a biennial tradition where I have to, I sit in for

Jason when he's off doing something fun.

When we send him halfway around the world to go ride trains and eat fun foods, we call on your

expertise. But it actually works out perfect this week because we've got really an interesting numbers and laws heavy show as the U.S. Department of Justice has finally filed suit as expected to block the JetBlue takeover or merger with Spirit, call it what you want.

So we'll talk about that a little bit in just a few seconds.

But yeah, I was traveling.

Basically, we hit stop on the record button last week and I took off for a long weekend, a nice little vacation without the kids.

I am jealous. Which was fantastic first time in eight years to go on vacation without to get a

non-work trip without kids I should say that was good I talked about this in the show

last week but we had 7-8 7-9 going out and then a 78 coming back both I mean very very lovely flights but I

my love for the 787 window is really a love hate relationship because while I like that bigger window,

I really dislike the fact that it's a 50-50 shot whether or not you're going to be able to look out

a clear window or it's at this point broken in some you know

Electrochromatic it's some shade of blue it's like you know the when you can like do like the warm cool slider

Yes, you know like do like the warm cool slider? Yes. You know it's like one of the you're going to get

blue or you're going to get yellow like there's no there's no in between if they're stuck.

I've also find that those windows get very hot when they're dimmed.

You know what? I've never pressed my face up against a dimmed 787 window, but I would not be surprised.

I mean, you know, sending an electrical current through it that that

would make sense. But yeah good flights all around. The 778 didn't know that you dislike
