DLD 514: Hub Plays: Alaska’s Long, Southwest’s Short

Two very interesting and very different sets of route announcements caught our attention this week. Plus premium seats and lots more.

DLD 501: Star signs and labor challenges

One strike averted, another underway. And plenty of challenges remain for the aviation industry overall.

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 260: APEX EXPO 2019–The hunt for news!

The image shows a large mural depicting a diverse group of people, including men, women, and children of various ages and ethnic backgrounds. The mural is located on a wall beneath a large, intricate, geometric glass dome ceiling. The ceiling features a pattern of triangular shapes with a mix of transparent and opaque sections, allowing light to filter through. The mural and the ceiling are part of an indoor architectural space with a modern design.

When APEX, AIX and IFSA get together there should be enough going on to generate some interesting news. Or, perhaps not. The annual Fall trade show bonanza was slow this year, but we still managed to find a few things to talk about.
