Episode 232 - The One with Podcast Royalty

Join Nev, Matt and the legend that is Captain Jeff for this week's show. In today's episode we discuss fainting first officers for one low cost carrier, some good news for Nev's favourite airline as they announce expansion plans at London City as they are voted most family friendly and people are being caught out as the baggage rules change again for everyone's favourite low cost airline. In the military a skilled pilot flies his Chinook over the Derwent Dam and details are released by the US of Operation 'Predictable Iron'. Nev has a lovely chat with Bo Abrahamsen about his love of aviation and Carlos chats to Dan about his fascinating Long-EZ. Nev is looking for volunteers to feature on his popular 'Passenger Experience' feature. Get in touch with him via [email protected].
