At some point “Plus” has to not be the default naming of whatever new thing a company comes up with, right? Alas, this is not that week.

Also in this episode:

• China Eastern flight MU5735 crash
• Air New Zealand to NYC in September
• Qantas adding DFW-MEL in December
• Air Canada buys the A321XLR
• Alaska Airlines retiring the A320 family faster and also the Q400s
• Southwest Airlines launches Wanna Get Away Plus fare
• United Airlines delaying IAD-BER start + no EWR-PRG this summer

For our Patreon subscribers we have bonus content, including:

• Rossiya’s new Sochi SSJ Super hub (Note: We called it Aeroflot’s in the episode; the SSJs recently transferred to Rossiya to further reduce exposure, and Pobeda is grounding 738s, not SSJs, for parts)
• MAX 10 not likely to meet EoY certification timeline

And plenty more. Enjoy the show!
