Episode 285 - Check-In Woes

Join Carlos, Nev and Matt for this episode.

In today's show, we learn about a worrying statistic in the rise of drunk passengers onboard, we say goodbye to a french airline none of us have heard of and one of the low cost carrier's passengers takes the Captain's seat to save the day.

In the military the Air Combat Command Airmen are responding to the danger presented by Hurricane Dorian and Canada's options for a new fighter have narrowed to just three.

Carlos talks to Joshua and Alan from The EFG Flight School, there's a welcome return of Nev's Passenger Experience as he talks us through is flight on Finnair's A350-900 and Dr Steph chats with Liz Piper about their recent visit to an air show in Toronto.
