Boarding Pass 245: A "Disappointing" Record Breaking Quarter and a New Beginning at Boeing
Description
Doug is back from Amsterdam and Drew has a new flight instructor and, phew, he’s great. A listener said that we were ahead of the curve with our discussion about supertugs and then about mentioning “rawdogging” before it became an avgeek household word. Well, we did it again because the new Pan Am is considering branded airline lounges which we suggested last week, AND, the new Boeing CEO will be based in Seattle to focus on making better planes, which we suggested months ago. We also discuss:
Boom Supersonic has a facility to build their Symphony engine and just unveiled it virtual flight deck
Spirit is laying ofg 240 pilots and some flight attendants as it tries to avoid bankruptcy
Doug goes all MBA on airline first quarter results - don’t worry, we make it fun
A listener asks about becoming an pilot in his 50’s - DO IT!
