This week’s episode is a little different. It’s just Fozz and Stephan, as Seth is soaking in all the avgeekery he can at the Dubai Airshow and there hasn’t been a ton of news. But, some of the highlights are:
American’s turn for a meltdown, plus slower recoveries, a big Heathrow boost, and planes shifting national registries for some reason.
The brand new Breeze A220 is top of mind this week, as we have a crew chatting just hours after the unveiling. Plus AAdvantage and Bonvoy news that might matter to you.
DLD 343: That probably won’t work

They might all be terrible ideas, but we’re still going to talk about them and figure out if any of it makes sense.
Maybe we went a little too far off the rails talking about privacy and ad tech and where they intersect. Including on board JetBlue’s newest A220 fleet.

What does high school shop class have to do with our travel experiences? Absolutely nothing, but that’s rarely stopped us from talking about other topics, so why start now??
DLD 278: ICAOn’t even figure out WHO is managing China policies

As governments and the traveling public continue to respond to the corona virus outbreak in China it is spectacularly unclear who, if anyone, is coordinating a coherent global response. Hooray!
DLD 265: A luxury CRJ200 experience

Is there such a thing as a nice CRJ200 ride? And why might a new world’s longest flight be a bad idea?? Plus another top tier got harder to realize and LAX is moving its pickup zone outside the terminal loop.
DLD 226: Stuck in IROPS hell

No one likes when flights are delayed or canceled. But why is dealing with it such a pain in the ass?
Engines, engines, everywhere! Even more of which are now broken. Plus many inaugurals and maybe your biometric security data will be sold to an airline or airport soon.
