Boarding Pass 62 - Domestic COVID Testing

American Airlines 787 at LAX

Aired on February 1, 2021

Doug and Drew start February - Black History Month - remembering the Tuskegee Airmen.  Will the Washington Football Team pick an AvGeek nickname "The Red Tails" as Drew and Doug hope?  We love widebodies, but force each other to discuss the business reasons for Singapore and Cathay Pacific using narrowbodies for the first time in decades. Other topics on this show:

• Boeing reports $12 billion loss and delays EIS 777X to at least 2023 (if ever)

• American and Southwest post record annual losses

• Southwest offering another round of voluntary leave to reduce staffing

• Frontier and Spirit hiring pilots and Delta calls 400 pilots back to active status

• Vaccine updates with Johnson & Johnson soon joining Pfizer and Moderna

• Should COVID-19 tests be required for domestic flights?

• What is a nautical mile vs. a statute mile and why does it matter?

We end the show with a poll by our buddy Greg who posed the question, "Which USAF bomber should lead the Super Bowl flyover next Sunday? "
