  • Gone downhill.

    The podcast just hasn’t been the same since Joanna left as co-host. The new(?) guy has been trying, but after so many episodes it’s safe to say he’s just not cut out for podcasting. The podcast has also become far more U.S.-centric than the truly global coverage we got from older episodes. Giving this two stars instead of one only because Tom continues to bring his A-game.

  • Took a bad turn…

    This used to be a great podcast covering aviation news from all over the world. Unfortunately since Joanna Bailey left the podcast, it shifted its focus and became very much focused on US aviation, maybe mentioning one story from elsewhere every two or three weeks. As a European, I’m not keen on hearing only about Southwest, Spirit and Frontier. Please bring back stories from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and South America, maybe then I‘ll listen again.
