For our first ever episode, I am incredibly excited to be interviewing long-time friend and kindred data mind, Jacob Courtade. Jacob has progressed up the ranks from analyst to senior leader within the airline industry over the past decade and is currently based in Switzerland. He spends his nights and weekends pouring over news from the latest and greatest from our friends in the air.  With a degree in Mathematics, he sees things many others do not.

Tune in to he thinks is really happening across the industry and which stats he thinks we should be watching too.
