He aha nā mea kūpono e lohi ai kāu lele? Pili i ke kahua mokulele.

ʻIke mākou āpau i ka drill: hōʻike ʻoe ma ke kahua mokulele me ka nui o ka manawa e hoʻokoe ai, i ka ʻike wale ʻana ua hoʻopaneʻe ʻia kāu lele a he mau hola kāu e pepehi ai. A i ʻole ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole, ua kau ʻoe i kāu lele a ua paʻa ʻoe i ka tarmac.

Ma hea e hiki ai kēia? ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau i ka hoʻopaneʻe, ʻoiaʻiʻo, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke pāʻani i ke kūpikipiki - ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā papa mele o kekahi mau kahua mokulele ma mua o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe (e like me kekahi mau mokulele, ʻo ia ke kumu i hoʻonohonoho ai mākou i nā mokulele maikaʻi a maikaʻi ʻole hoʻi no ka hana manawa koke). ʻO nā helu helu mai ka Bureau of Transportation Statistics ma nā huakaʻi i hala ma mua o 15 mau minuke ma hope o ka papa kuhikuhi (i kēia hanana mai ʻApelila 1, 2008, a hiki i Malaki 31, 2009) hōʻike i nā kahua mokulele ʻoi loa a maikaʻi ʻole - no ka hana manawa koke.

Aia kekahi mau nūhou maikaʻi holoʻokoʻa: ʻo ke kahua mokulele ʻoi loa ka hewa (aia kahi mea lanakila hou i kēia makahiki) i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia i kona hoʻopaneʻe ʻia ʻana e 3 pākēneka helu. ʻO ia wale nō ke kahua mokulele e 30% a ʻoi paha o kāna mau mokulele i lohi ai; i ka makahiki i hala, haki nā kahua mokulele ʻehā i ka 30 pakeneka pale.

ʻO kēia kū i luna ke ʻano ʻoiai ua hoʻomaikaʻi kekahi mau kahua mokulele i kā lākou hana manawa manawa, ʻaʻole paha i loli ka nui o ko lākou kūlana. Ua hōʻemi ʻo Dallas i kāna lohi e ka nui - 6 pākēneka helu - akā ua noho ia ma ka helu 4 ma nā mokulele he 10 i ʻoi loa. A ʻo JFK — ʻoiai e hoʻemi ana i ka hoʻopaneʻe ʻana o 11 pākēneka helu i nā makahiki he 2 i hala aku nei — ua nakinaki ʻia me Dallas no kēlā wahi No.

ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha kekahi o kēia mau kahua mokulele: e hoʻomau mau ana ka lewa a puni ke kūlanakauhale ʻo New York, e kākoʻo ana i nā kaʻa ma nā kahua mokulele ʻekolu. A ʻo nā hubs e like me Atlanta a me Kikako e waiho nei ma ka papa inoa o nā lawehala.

Akā ʻo nā papa inoa ʻoi loa a maikaʻi ʻole kekahi o nā mea hou i kēia makahiki. ʻO Piladelapia — ʻaʻole ma ka papa inoa ma 2007 a me 2008 paha i hōʻike ʻia ma nā kahua mokulele he 10 kiʻekiʻe loa (22% o nā mokulele i lohi ʻia). He nūhou sunnier a ʻO Orlando, e haki ana i ka papa inoa ʻoi loa o 10 me ka 18 pākēneka o kāna mau huakaʻi i hoʻopaneʻe ʻia (ʻo ka nūhou maikaʻi, no ka poʻe kipa i Disney World). Hoʻopili pū ʻo Detroit i ka papa o ka poʻe kiʻekiʻe, me ka 17 pākēneka o kāna mau huakaʻi i hoʻopaneʻe ʻia.

A ʻoiaʻiʻo nō ua nalowale kekahi mau kahua mokulele mai nā papa inoa. Minamina kēlā no Seattle, ʻo ia kekahi o ka 10 ʻoi loa ma 2008. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nūhou no Chicago Midway (MDW), a ma ka 25 pākēneka kekahi o nā 10 ʻoi loa o ka maikaʻi ma 2008.

No laila e nīnau i kēia papa inoa ma mua o ka puke ʻana i kāu likiki aʻe: inā hiki iā ʻoe ke lele mai kahi mokulele ʻē aʻe e like me Midway, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hiki ke hōʻea ʻoe i kāu wahi i hele aku ai i ka manawa. A i kēia mau lā, ʻo ka hiki mai ka manawa kūpono e pili wale ana i ka mea wale nō e uku ʻole ai nā mokulele.
