Episode 163 - Critical Points

Written By Next Trip

Aired on January 9, 2023

To divert or not to divert, that is the question for Doug and crew over the North Atlantic. Drew and Doug discuss diversion decisions from flight and station operations perspectives. On this episode we also discuss:

  • Cargo airlines lose some business with e-commerce coming off COVID highs

  • Southwest recovers from crew scheduling woes

  • Porter Airlines get its first EMB195-E2 with up to 100 more coming. We said the “E2" and the A220 would be big stories in 2023

  • California irrops with SFO diversions due to an “atmospheric river" of rains and a San Diego fuel shortage

  • Free Wi-Fi on Delta…is this a trend?

We end the episode with an email from listener, Gordon, about his trip on a Continental DC10 with a pub onboard for all customers.
