No squirrels were harmed in the making of this episode. And we cannot explain why that is even remotely relevant. But here we are anyways.
What will the future of airline route networks look like? We dig deep into the past with special guest Ned Russell as we look to the future.

Is there such a thing as a nice CRJ200 ride? And why might a new world’s longest flight be a bad idea?? Plus another top tier got harder to realize and LAX is moving its pickup zone outside the terminal loop.
Cutting money-losing programs makes sense in many cases. Selling off a profitable segment of the business is less normal. But here we are.
All sorts of changes in the past week or so with the Delta SkyMiles program, plus a special guest talking recent premium cabin travel on a handful of airlines.
Old planes sent to the graveyard and a few new apps/websites we wish were similarly fated. Plus a look at the new pseudo-award chart for SkyMiles.
