Mr BallenHOST
It was just really embarrassing for Bebo.
Mr BallenHOST
Like many of the other ground service agents working at Horizon Airlines, Bebo was generally unhappy with his job.
Mr BallenHOST
He felt like it was boring, that there wasn't much upward mobility, and that he was criminally underpaid.
Mr BallenHOST
But there was one redeeming quality of his job, and that was in virtue of working for an airline, he got all sorts of free airfare.
Mr BallenHOST
And his coworkers would say he had aspirations to be an officer in the military.
Mr BallenHOST
And when all those people that knew Bebo the best were asked, why do you think he did what he did on August 10th, 2018, none of them have an answer.
Mr BallenHOST
On that fateful day at 1.35 p.m. local time, a passenger airplane owned by Horizon Airlines flew into SeaTac Airport where Bebo worked.
Mr BallenHOST
And so this plane was not scheduled to fly for the rest of the day.
DylanHOST
I know it's been a busy, busy weekend.
DylanHOST
Did you see that Horizon Air pilots are picketing in Seattle?
MaxHOST
No, and I was just there.
DylanHOST
Really? I
Rob CushGUEST
Yeah, I mean, to prepare themselves entering the workforce, you know, the best thing to do is, you know, look at opportunities that are out there.
Rob CushGUEST
There's a lot of opportunities to start out with regional airlines, like your Horizon Airlines has a great program.
Rob CushGUEST
Horizon will take kids out of A&P school, right out of A&P school and put them to work at their facility.
Rob CushGUEST
And they help cover some of their costs for their schooling.
Rob CushGUEST
Right.
Rob CushGUEST
And then they go through a two- to three-year commitment working on the aircraft at Horizon Airlines.
Rob CushGUEST
Right.
Rob CushGUEST
They're, you know, Bombay 175s, I believe they fly a lot of there.
Luis BarrosGUEST
Even, you know, in launching it, it started as a true charter brokerage.
Luis BarrosGUEST
Uh, funny story actually, when it was all being formed [laughs], I think someone asked, you know, during the naming of the company, it was called Horizon Air Charter at the time.
Luis BarrosGUEST
And they said, "Well, there's a Horizon Air, you know, owned by Alaska," I believe, "out west or whatever.
Luis BarrosGUEST
Do you, does that matter? Is that a consideration?" No.
Luis BarrosGUEST
Like who, we will never be operational, you know, why would anyone possibly wanna do that [laughs] and deal with all those headaches? Don't worry about it.
Mr BallenHOST
It was just really embarrassing for Bibo.
Mr BallenHOST
Like many of the other ground service agents working at Horizon Airlines, Bibo was generally unhappy with his job.
Mr BallenHOST
He felt like it was boring, that there wasn't much upward mobility, and that he was criminally underpaid.
Mr BallenHOST
But there was one redeeming quality of his job, and that was in virtue of working for an airline, he got all sorts of free airfare.
Mr BallenHOST
And his coworkers would say he had aspirations to be an officer in the military.
Mr BallenHOST
And when all those people that knew Bibo the best were asked, "Why do you think he did what he did on August 10th, 2018?" none of them have an answer.
Mr BallenHOST
On that fateful day at 1:35 PM local time, a passenger airplane owned by Horizon Airlines flew into SeaTac Airport, where Bibo worked.
Mr BallenHOST
And so this plane was not scheduled to fly for the rest of the day, so it was taxied to the far north section of the airport to a parking spot called Cargo 1.
