In this weeks episode, we’re globe-trotting and diving deep! This week’s episode is packed with travel tales, listener scenarios, and the latest in aviation headlines. Buckle up—it’s a wild ride across continents and cruising altitudes.
✈️ Captain's Log: Asia Edition
Your host is heading off on a massive trip across Asia and shares how curiosity, ambition—and a little fatigue—can make or break your layover adventures. Hear about past escapades including:
🕰️ The infamous fake Rolex deal in Hong Kong
🧥 Getting measured for a suit in back-alley showrooms
🏊 Finding the best pools, running spots, and food in new cities
🏟️ Catching a Giants game in San Francisco
…and yes, the ongoing saga with “Rocky” the watch guy.
📍 Mike chimes in with his favorite U.S. and international overnights and tips for making the most out of layovers (excluding SDQ, of course).
🎧 Listener Question of the Week:
What should you do when your in-flight neighbors are throwing a party in the row behind you? We break down in-flight crew authority, FAA policies, and how to de-escalate a sky-high frat party.
📰 Industry News Briefing:
ATC Systems Are Still Outdated: Radar and radio blackouts, bureaucratic delays, and a system older than Apollo 13.
Swiss International Cancels Flights: Pilot shortages, post-COVID travel pressures, and EASA licensing hurdles.
Pratt & Whitney Engine Woes: Cracks in the NEO engine are causing havoc across Airbus fleets, delaying deliveries, and complicating airline growth.
🔥 From air traffic nightmares to Rolex alley deals, it’s another week of unfiltered aviation insight and storytelling.
