Can Jet and WOW overcome massive financial challenges to stay in business? Will the MAX issues hurt Boeing long-term? And some Amsterdam news, too.
What’s in store this week?? Perhaps it is a surprise for everyone. Owing to some excitement in the recording and editing process we’re all about to find out together!
The US government shutdown finally took its toll on a pair of inaugurals, and a few others are giving up, too.
Bad things come in threes, right? Hopefully that’s the case here as Boeing wraps a pretty bad run of incidents with its aircraft. Plus, a 3 day delay and a seized plane!
Is American’s new LAX terminal a bet against JFK? Why is Hertz joining SkyTeam? And what the heck is going on at British Airways??

In a growing industry where will all the planes go? SFO, MEX, AMS and many more are full while expansion options are limited. New catering, routes, boarding rules and a presidential 747 won’t change that, but we talk about them anyways.

Getting “stuck” on a 10-abreast 777 is about the worst thing ever, right? Then again, maybe not. We’re joined this week by Michael Trager of TravelZork and talking about how some travelers actually prefer the tighter space on board.
