The Crew Room

Welcome to season 1 of Keeping The Air Fair, a podcast where we talk aviation news stories of the week.

While we are 2 and a half years down the track since the pandemic began, and 9 months since the borders reopened in Australia, the major airlines are still struggling to cope. Massive cancellations, delays, unhappy passengers, and frustrated staff all plague the airlines here in Australia and across the globe.

In this episode, we talk about why it's important, as travellers, to NOT get angry at the frontline staff who are just trying their best under extreme circumstances. Why QANTAS is in such poor form at the moment and can they ever restore their brand to what it once was. And finally, we have a positive, heartwarming story to end the episode.

If you enjoy this podcast, please like, share, and subscribe. I would also love to hear from you on the Keeping The Air Fair Facebook page as well.

Having been in airline customer service for more than 20 years, I am ALWAYS dedicated to the hard working frontline individuals who face the full brunt of anger from the general public on the daily. My purpose for this podcast is to advocate for you, the very people who keep the airlines going every single day. Remember, while your management on all levels may not appreciate your hard work, there are people out there like me who do.

Welcome back to Season 2 of The Crew Room. This is the trailer for the new season.

I am looking forward to flying you through my turbulent career in the Aviation and Tourism industry. What a ride it has been.

Last season, I spoke to friends and ex-colleagues about their time in the industry, and this season I thought I would talk about my highs and lows in a career that constantly challenged me and led me to pursuing a new career after 23 years.

I hope that you enjoy listening, and if you like what you hear, please like, share and subscribe.

Shaun.

Welcome to episode 2

This episode we talk delays/cancellations/diversions. No one likes them, least of all the crew. However, it is sadly part and parcel of the aviation industry. Mother Nature will hate us enough some days that flight get delayed, cancelled and diverted. That is just one of the many reasons we discuss in todays episode. 

In the news section, we discuss how a drunk, belligerent Virgin Australia passenger has his day in court, and our daily tip..... cabin baggage. 

I hope that you enjoy today's episode. And if you did, please like, subscribe and share. 

You can also visit me at The Crew Room Facebook page, I would love to hear from you. Let me know if there is anything you would like to hear me discuss on the show. 

Again, this episode is dedicated to my friend Sherin (who was a colleague of mine at Virgin Australia) who sadly lost her battle with cancer a few months ago.

Welcome to Season 2 of The Crew Room.

This season will be a little different to the first season. Last season, I spoke to those who I knew who worked in the industry, how they have coped with the pandemic, and what they miss and don't miss about the industry. If you haven't listened, go back and check it out.

This season, it is just me and the odd special guest. I talk about many different things about the industry that you might already know, and perhaps some you don't. We talk everything from disruptive passengers and how we handled them, to flight delays, VIP's we would love to forget, and a lot more.

I would love to hear from you as well about things you would like to hear on the podcast and you can do this by searching "Crew Room Podcast" on Facebook and send me a message. If you would like to be a guest on the show also, then let me know and we can organise to chat.

I hope that you enjoy this season of The Crew Room, now coming to you 3 days a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

Remember to like, share and most importantly, SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode.

(P.S., Last season I spoke to a dear friend Sherin who was a guest on the podcast. Sadly, Sherin had a short battle with cancer and passed away. While we didn't speak a lot, we certainly made up for it when we did. I am so glad that I was able to chat to her on the podcast, and I would like to dedicate this season to Sherin. We love and miss you Sherin, and we hope that you are keeping an eye on us all.)
