DLD 385: Worst birthday party ever

A blue and white propeller airplane with the word "Connect" written on its side is parked on an airport tarmac. The tail of the plane features a yellow circle with a blue design. In the background, there are large, arched hangars and a fuel truck. Two airport personnel in high-visibility vests are standing near the front of the plane. The sky is clear with some light clouds. The image is credited to @WandrMe and PaxEx.Aero.

Sure, the conversations were great, but our plans for birthday festivities came up short.

DLD 372: Going global

Sure, we’re not really traveling long-haul for leisure right now. But some people are. We had long time friend of the show Han on to talk about a couple recent trips.

DLD 290: Desert flyover

Thousands of planes parked, some permanently, make for stunning images. But it comes at a cost, with jobs lost and an economic hit that is hard to measure so far.

DLD 203: Is Chicago the next St. Louis??

The image shows a hand giving a thumbs-up gesture in the foreground, with a city skyline in the background. The skyline features several tall buildings, including a prominent skyscraper with a spire. The scene is set near a body of water, and the sky appears to be at dusk or dawn, with a soft gradient of colors.

Will O’Hare shift its role for American Airlines, losing its global gateway status? Also, dedicated crew for airline executives and lots of news about Alitalia, which is still alive for some reason. Oh, and vomit fraud. C’mon in for another great show!

DLD 182: Blown tires, blown service recovery

The ceiling is illuminated with bright lights, and a digital sign above the passengers reads "Gates E." The train appears to be in motion, as the tunnel outside the windows is blurred.

A blown tire in Newark caused rolling delays and some pretty poor customer service in Portland. Delta struck a nerve in Georgia that could hurt it on the fuel tax front. Also, some talk about battery fires and lots of other news this week.
