Always a great discussion of real aviation topics, by professionals for aviation professionals.
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.
I’m no pilot but find these chaps fascinating and they impart interesting information that is pertinent to mere travelers
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.

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
