  • Invaluable Knowledge and Mindset

    Sitting in the cockpit, pushed for time trying to smash a clearance into the system, I can almost hear the words “slow the heck down sunshine!” ..and “do a proper preflight!!”

    Helping to maintain a safety mindset, this show has almost become required listening at one major European carrier.

    Quite an accolade and absolutely deserved.

  • Great show

    Love the show guys. I’m not a pilot, but I am a frequent flier and love airplanes. Additionally, I prefer to use the facts in problem solving which I think you guys do a great job of.

One suggestion: long periods of talking about the current state of the NTSB, why their reports are bad, why it isn’t what it used to be, etc. is not compelling listening- focus more on what caused the accidents and ho... more

  • Covid Masks?

    I started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago working my way backwards. At Episode 49 I heard them praise the ridiculous “Covidian” masking rituals. Literally vitiated whatever credibility they had built up with me. I immediately stopped listening and I will unsubscribe after this review is published. Very disheartening. The Covid masks were nothing more than a “totem” of leftist sheeple. Even the medical journals have since admitted the same. Very disappointing to discover that these expe... more
