Episode 186 - Sliding into the Week

Written By Next Trip

Aired on June 19, 2023

Drew talks about managing throught the Summer flight schedule and Doug is getting ready to head back to training, this time in Altus, Oklahoma, the middle of nowhere. Is it really the middle of nowhere though? Drew does some research and finds goat petting, corn shucking, and axe throwing to keep Doug occupied. We also discuss:

  • Spirit Aerosystems and the IAM reach a tentative agreement to avoid a strike and delays to 737 and 787 deliveries

  • Qantas details its A350 cabin layout for its Project Sunrise flights to LHR and JFK - spoiler, there’s a lounge and its not for first class

  • Spirit Aerosystems make the whole fuselage of the 737 and many parts for the 787. Should Boeing buy them? We discuss

  • Slide deployments - why do they happen? How much do they cost to repair , and why is Doug scared every time he opens a door?

Join the discussion!
