Dartboard or strategic planning? Either way, lots of new routes to discuss in this week's news.

One strike averted, another underway. And plenty of challenges remain for the aviation industry overall.

A strike avoided, an engine fire, and new routes as we hit another arbitrary milestone.

Another week, with plenty of random thoughts from the guys…

The 777X is back on the ground, while an IFC vendor goes under and a couple airlines have operational issued. But it isn't all bad news…

Gotta love that new terminal smell, right? PDX finally opened its new space, and we've got Ned Russell on to talk about it.

Fiorello would be happy, perhaps, to see Newark no longer managed by New York ATC. But will it help?

Perhaps major airshows are losing their impact on the industry a bit. But Farnborough still brought plenty of key news to the fore.

What a mess for airlines and more as millions of Windows-based computers were knocked offline last Thursday night.
