We're about more than just airplanes, especially these days. But don't worry too much; air travel still dominates the conversation this week.

Among the topics in this episode:

* Southwest Airlines adds new service across town from its Midway and Hobby hubs, joining MIA as it further pushes into legacy hub operations* Alitalia might have finally died(ish), but not really* The Vatican invested in Hertz and barely escaped without losses* Alaska Airlines firms its plans to join Oneworld on 31 March 2021* IATA says you're more likely to be struck by lightning than to catch COVID on a plane

For our Patreon subscribers we have bonus content, including:

* Alaska Airlines' conversion from stored credit to points: Was it worth it?

And plenty more. Enjoy the show!
