Episode 286 - Luggage Delays and Security Misery


Listen Later

Join Carlos, Matt and Micah for this week's programme.

In today's show we learn that Europe's aviation governing body decide to make their own decisions about when the MAX should return to service, the UK's legacy carrier continues it's battle with their pilots as the fallout from a recent round of strikes continue and one low cost US carrier loses it's court battle over hidden bag fees.

In the military we find Leonardo are to support the RAF with future counter drone technologies and there's a rare site in Flintshire as the Osprey pays a flying visit.

Armando sends his apologies from the Reno Air Races and we learn things weren't all that smooth for Carlos when he returned to the UK from Malta.

We'd love to hear from you if you've had any experiences during the recent BA strike action, maybe you're a pilot who's been involved; we've all heard BA's side of the story but we're keen to YOUR story. Get in touch by email on [email protected].
