DLD 420: Widget watch, with Ed

Alt text: The image shows the interior of an airport terminal with a high, curved ceiling made up of large, light-colored panels. Below the ceiling, there are signs indicating directions to gates labeled "K" with arrows pointing left and right. The area is well-lit with overhead lighting, and there are structural columns supporting the ceiling. An exit sign is visible on the right side of the image.

We’re joined this week by special guest Ed Pizza of Miles to Go and Pizza In Motion to talk about changing allegiances and the rest of the latest news.

DLD 416: Going Retro(fit)

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. The terminal features a high, glass-paneled ceiling with metal beams and columns. There are escalators in the foreground leading up to the main concourse area. The concourse has various signs indicating directions to all gates, ticketing, and other airport services. There is a large American flag hanging prominently in the background. The terminal is decorated with holiday wreaths and garlands, suggesting a festive season. There are also some people visible in the distance, likely passengers or airport staff.

Refreshing cabins is a nice touch, but why does it take so long?? Also, how long will it take Southwest to pay out all the comp it owes.

DLD 407: No first? No problem!

Aerial view of an airport with multiple airplanes parked at the gates and taxiing on the runway. The image shows a control tower in the center and various airport buildings and infrastructure. The wing of an airplane is visible in the foreground, indicating that the photo was taken from inside an aircraft. The surrounding landscape includes fields and distant buildings under a partly cloudy sky.

What happens when you dupe consumers for decades with the confusing names between classes of service then make a change to a tiny part of the fleet? Fun times, indeed.

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 211: Speedy Delivery

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.
