There may be more than one correct answer!
Luna begins by apologizing for "keeping Trey waiting". She then says that "there was a horrible traffic jam on highway 101 this morning" which is her explanation for why she was late. A traffic jam occurs when there are many cars on the road or an accident has occurred, and the flow of traffic is poor.
Luna has doubts about Trey's ability to continue the interview because of his wound, however she never cancels the interview with him. Her last sentence is "Let's go sit down in my office" indicates that the interview will continue.
Trey says to Luna that he "was a few minutes late" to the interview. He responds to Luna's apology by telling her that he was also late this morning.
Trey never speaks of trying to take a shortcut. He does say that he traveled through a "rather rough neighborhood" on his way to the interview, but this does not mean that he tried to take a shortcut, but that he went through a "dangerous" neighborhood.
Trey speaks of the bullet passing "through the fleshy part of my arm" which expresses that Trey was "shot" (by someone with a gun). Trey also states that his lateness is due to this accident, so we know that he was shot while on his way to the interview.

1 shortcut: This is correct. "A shortcut" is an alternative route, or way that is quicker than the normal route, for example: The journey usually takes 1 hour, but I know a shortcut which will get us there in 40 minutes. In his announcement the pilot says, "I know a shortcut over the Rocky Mountains." This means that the pilot knows a quicker route over the Rocky Mountains. Note that "shortcut" can also be written as two words.
2 waved: This is correct. "To wave" is to a produce a movement (often with the hand) from left to right and/or up and down. We generally "wave" to signal a message with our hand, often to say hello or goodbye. In the announcement, the pilot says, "don't hesitate to wave hello" to the new co-pilot. He is encouraging the passengers to greet the co-pilot.
3 crew: This is correct. "Crew" is a synonym of "team" and "group", however it more accurately describes a group of people who work together to operate something, often a vessel or vehicle like a plane or boat. In the dialogue, the pilot says "please don't hesitate to ask our crew for anything you need to make this flight more comfortable". In this case he is referring to the staff of stewards and stewardesses who are working on the plane and serving the passengers.
