This show gives great industry insights and they try really hard to tiptoe around the Trump sycophants who are intolerant of any criticism of their dear leader. You will never make this crowd happy, so stop trying. We want to hear your actual opinions, you know, like in an actual, free society, where the media isn’t terrified to speak the truth.
The guys are extremely informed on all things airlines. Jon tries to keep the other 2 from alienating the majority of the US voting electorate but the other 2 can barely hold in their distain for anything Trump.
I never remember them having any feedback on Mayor Pete lol - I’m sure they think he’s the 2nd coming of Chuck Yeager.
Also - if you have a bottle of Casamigos and have to rip a shot every time they fawn over Scott Kirby, good luck it was nice knowing you.

They turn most episodes into a political rant. Stick to aviation.
This show has potential, back when Biden Administration was running the industry these three authors never questioned their policy, almost immediately following Trump it’s become a political theater with their commentary…if you don’t agree just go back and listen. You guys are great, but please leave your personal political agenda out of narrative for us in the industry that are sick of it.
The United - American merger won’t happen because SCREW TRUMP!!! Airlines are failing because Trump’s attention span is the size of a teaspoon and SCEW TRUMP and his international flight deficit!! We’re against subsidies for airlines NOW because TRUMP WANTS TO SAVE SPIRIT, SO SCREW TRUMP!!!
