We screwed up posting this one so the audio file wasn’t present originally. Should be fixed as of Sunday morning.
Should you subscribe to an airline’s recurring payment offerings? Probably not. But we’re going to talk about it a bit.

Also in this episode:
- Alaska Airlines subscriptions
- Which is bigger long-haul route news, Delta to Cape Town or the new British Airways daytime flight from Newark to London. Or one of Delta’s new Hawaii trips?

- A380 Auction by Airbus
- United now charges a premium on at least some o/w awards

- Cathay cuts continue – only 3 flights to LHR, 4 to SYD and none to NYC in March 2022, compared to 100ish pre-pandemic
- American Airlines makes further long-haul cuts thanks to 787 delivery delays
And plenty more. Enjoy the show!

Whoopsie…gonna have to take Seth out back and give him a reminder on how to manage the feed.
It is updated now and 374 should (hopefully) show up in the feed soon.
I would be fine with a fully subscription model. The value your team provides is the excellent job you do covering the industry from a non-points, non-aspirational level. I would go to a two week production model with the flash podcasts (free) for breaking events.
The guest are fine, but rarely in my opinion have they been better than your analysis and talk. Seth doesn’t talk to much. He like all of you is very knowledgeable.
I would donate but not a fan of Patreon. But have sent a $100.00 check in the past.
