Listen Later

Airplanes and hail don’t mix. A storm rendering 10% of an airline’s fleet unflyable is all sorts of bad.

Also in this episode:

  • New stuff coming over the next few years
  • Rolling delays for the HA/AS merger
  • Elliott proposes 10 new directors for Southwest
  • Delta’s “CrowdStrike” recovery remains a burden for travelers
  • Greenland and Fozz

    • For our Patreon subscribers we have bonus content, including:

    • Czech Airlines wrapping up operations
    • Edelweiss adding ZRH-SEA/YHZ from June 2025, and also has an A350 now

      • And plenty more. Enjoy the show!
