DLD 552: Fuming mad!

Unwinding joint operations is not easy, but it must happen thanks to a DOT ruling. Plus fumes in the cabin, a hilariously low fine and some questionable funding in play.

DLD 534: In the Studio

The image shows the interior of an airplane cabin, specifically the business class section. On the right, there is a well-stocked snack and beverage station labeled "United Polaris," featuring various drinks and snacks. The cabin has spacious seating with individual screens, and the lighting is soft and ambient, creating a comfortable atmosphere.

There’s lots to unpack this week, including a new premium seat, a new paint job, and new route plans galore.

DLD 526: Not so express

Marrakech remains a mess for connections. And there are plenty of other messes around the world. But we find some good news, too.

DLD 470: Out of service

What’s the silliest reason you’ve ever heard of for planes to be removed from service? We might have a new top contender for that title.

DLD 423: Are you aware??

A small commercial airplane with "Universal Hydrogen" branding on its fuselage is taking off from a runway. The aircraft has a colorful design with blue, white, and red elements, and the tail features a logo with a hydrogen symbol. The background shows a partly cloudy sky and a landscape with fields and distant buildings.

Hydrogen is flying, at least on one engine. And that’s way better for awareness than some of the other stuff we’ve seen lately.

DLD 409: Sorry we missed you

Maybe we’re supposed to say something in advance when the publishing schedule changes. Oopsie.

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.
