Flying Taxis And Microbobs And Happy Hour for 3/5/26
Send a text
We bounce through the week’s most entertaining headlines and end up asking what “progress” really means when safety, cost, and culture all collide. From a five-year-old catching a Southwest training mismatch to bars reinventing happy hour, we keep it light while still getting real about what’s changing around us.
• a five-year-old aviation fan spotting a Southwest simulator display mismatch and getting a VIP tour
• why early exposure to aviation careers matters and why air traffic controllers are in short supply
• Uber Air with Joby electric air taxis and the biggest safety and airspace questions
• bird strikes, drones, altitude and comfort fears around short-hop flight
• a viral TikTok microbob and why a bad haircut can feel brutal
• Papa John’s closing 300 stores and what “underperforming” really signals
• the decline of traditional happy hour under hybrid work and wellness trends
• reverse happy hours, better food, mocktails and sober curious options that bring people back
If you're in the area, definitely come out and support Merrill and uh get in there for that happy hour.
