🎙️ EPISODE SNAPSHOT IATA's proposal to raise the pilot retirement age from 65 to 67 takes centre stage this week. We unpack the safety, staffing, and mentorship implications then cover key industry moves, a Colorado mid-air, Boeing/WestJet orders, 787 engine returns, Joby's stock surge, and what pilots really carry in their flight bags. We close with rugby and F1.
