  • Informative and easy listening

    This podcast is informative for an extremely wide audience. The hosts are “dad-joke funny” (in the best possible way) and do a great job of researching and distilling topics in various industry topics. The hosts seem to do a great job of disarming interviewees as well, as they get some great perspective from senior aerospace executives. This show is simply fun and it is underpinned by phenomenal journalism. Well worth listening to if you’re at all interested in business/aviation/travel.

  • I enjoy learning about the industry

    So I came across this podcast about a year ago from listening to another related podcast. This podcast is different because it focuses on the industry itself. I am not in the industry but have learned a lot from listening to these guys. Give them a listen!

Q: What are your views on the current administration's focus on merit-based hiring for pilots?

Management of rest varies by trip and involves healthy diets and hydration to counteract fatigue.
Where in the World is Steve Giordano
Q: Do you see Nomadic's business as sort of a leading or trailing indicator of the industry's health?
It can be a leading indicator as we ride the currents of the industry health reflected in our work.
Southwest’s Big Changes are Done, Now What?
Q: You consider check bag fees to be the same type of thing, or is that really just a money grab effectively?
The overwhelming majority of the items that we've done as part of this transformation fit into that category where you get the Venn diagram that overlaps where it's both leaning into the customer and also generating a financial result.
Southwest’s Big Changes are Done, Now What?
Q: Is there a possibility to make this loyalty program look a little bit more like your pure loyalty programs?
We do have a strong loyalty program. Loyalty programs are part and parcel of the airline business, and it really reflects a situation where your customers like you and therefore will transfer that like or that love to the bank card.
