Aliens?  Gremlins?  Monsters?  We laugh at such notions these days.  Especially in aviation.  But it didn't used to be that way.

Emily returns.  Because, guess what?  Shelter-in-place guidelines dictate that she's the only adult allowed within 6 feet of me.  Plus, she rocks.  We talk about how recent lifestyle changes are affecting my job and our day-to-day, and we keep it light with some good tv-program suggestions.  No charge.

My guest this week is someone I have known my entire life.  We discuss the history of recessions, and how those recessions have innovated and helped streamline the airline industry moving forward.  We give advice to "recession-first-timers" and we also throw a bit of nostalgia your way about the fonder decades of air travel.

I'm clearly on my soap-box on this one.  We recorded this well before COVID-19 showed up in the U.S.

It's important to know when you're wrong about something.  This episode serves as a lesson that we shouldn't jump so quickly to conclusions, and that just a little more education about something can bring a bustling economy to a grinding halt.

Ever wonder what's happening behind the scenes and how the aviation infrastructure actually works?  Emily comes to the table with some questions on behalf of the every-day passenger.  A story may have been disclosed that was previously "close to the vest" by a select few ........ but you didn't hear it from me.
