Hard to believe we’re still saying this, but please stop being an asshole on airplanes. Or anywhere else, really. But definitely not on airplanes.
Who is to blame? And does it matter when you finally admit that? Plenty of challenges in the industry these days and more flight cancellations are coming.
New seats, new routes, and a comeback of quality flooring round out this week’s top stories.

We faced a couple mechanicals getting this week’s episode recorded, but are willing to admit that truth, rather than blaming weather, unlike some airlines.
Airline meltdowns happen form time to time, but this past week’s performances are surprisingly ugly.
Back on the road and exploring the world, with some thoughts on just how well that’s going overall and why we’re not in a huge hurry to do more of it too soon.

Is this a good episode title? Probably not. Is it a good episode, though??
Join us for a walk down memory lane, triggered by some things we screwed up in our previous episode. Plus CARES2, Boeing, Spirit and More.
A loyalty points scheme not worth buying in to and another that surprisingly is. Plus an airline disappears, a very long flight returns, and lots more!
