Will a Middle East merger happen? Did a plane run very low on fuel? Is the new UA boarding process a joke? Lots of answers in this week's show!

Stephan and Fozz are on this week, with some lively conversation including the following stories:

* An Air India Flight Loses Landing Instrumentation and Runs Low on Fuel

* For a short while, American Airlines was considering ending ticket changes

* Emirates and Etihad are Considering a Merger

* This New Zealander Has a Plane In His Backyard

We also talked about Fozz's United agent experience in Amsterdam and EU261 rules. And we talk about the first couple of weeks of the new United boarding process.
