Most of the episodes are excellent. The exceptions are the ones that are sponsored. The guest (consultant) experts speak in broad generalities and are quite useless.
I used to really enjoy and get a lot out of these discussions, but the unwillingness to even acknowledge basic facts about the Trump administration’s attacks on the industry, including the OBVIOUS TO EVERYBODY efforts to privatize public goods and give them away to people who did not earn them nor who deserve the public’s trust, is an abomination.
I’m done wasting my time with such spineless people.
It was helpful to hear everyone state they believe the tariffs will hurt the aviation industry.
It would have been more informative if one participant explained and presented President Tump’s reasoning why the imposed tariff’s could benefit the aviation industry.
Please consider presenting that in a future episode.
As a 40+ year participant in the aerospace industry and subscriber to Aviation Week, I very much enjoy Check 6. The topics are relevant and the discussions are presented by knowledgeable professionals. Keep up the good work.
Typical woke Libtardian hypocrisy. Nothing new to see here folks….move on
