Northern Pacific Listen
DLD 368: Not so far flung from 2022-01-20T14:42
We shouldn't be here right now. We should all be there. But we aren't. And we don't even really know where "there" is. A most interesting predicament.
DLD 367: A Farewell to R32s from 2022-01-13T15:29
Slightly bizarre to have the lead topic for an aviation podcast to be a subway story, but we've never really been a normal group. Plus, we've got Listen
DLD 366: A fresh start from 2022-01-06T15:19
A new year, and we're ready to go with fresh hot takes on all the latest aviation news.

DLD 363: Picking up the pieces from 2021-12-09T14:56

Listen
DLD 362: Oh. My. Cron! from 2021-12-02T14:51
A new variant of concern doesn't have us too concerned. At least not yet. Plus greenwashing, hub bluffs, and pilot retirements.
Listen
DLD 361: Thanks time from 2021-11-25T15:19
What are you thankful as the Thanksgiving holiday arrives once again? Probably not being involved in any of our first few topics is a good start.
DLD 360: Not entirely as planned from 2021-11-18T15:44
This week’s episode is a little different. It’s just Fozz and Stephan, as Seth is soaking in all the avgeekery he can at the Dubai Airshow and there hasn’t been a ton of news.
Listen
DLD 359: Fun parallels from 2021-11-11T15:31

Listen
DLD 355: Weather Gone Wild from 2021-10-14T14:30
We faced a couple mechanicals getting this week's episode recorded, but are willing to admit that truth, rather than blaming weather, unlike some airlines.
DLD 354: Generally speaking from 2021-10-07T14:27
We're on location this week, recording at the IATA Annual General Meeting in Boston where industry CEOs and suppliers gathered to absolutely not collude on anything they cannot legally a...
DLD 353: Close connections from 2021-09-30T14:28

Listen
DLD 352: A Dork-Spot-Wine Fest from 2021-09-23T14:42
We took the show on the road this week. First up was Los Angeles for DorkFest/SpotLAX2021. Thanks to the listeners who stopped by to say hi while we were there.

<...
DLD 349: It’s a conspiracy! from 2021-09-02T14:04
Kicking off the show with a bad conspiracy theory joke about hurricanes probably isn't our strongest play, but here we are. It gets better pre...

Listen
DLD 346: Multiple meltdowns from 2021-08-12T14:29
Two airline meltdowns – one much worse than the other – take the lead on this week's episode. Fortunately we narrowly avoided also having a laptop meltdown during the recording.
DLD 345: Teaming, trimming & traveling from 2021-08-05T13:22
Should airlines require vaccination, even for domestic travel? The answer certainly varies depending on how you're evaluating the question, and we don't have a perfect answer. But it is ...
DLD 344: 49 States, and then some from 2021-07-29T14:51
How long does it take to fly through each of the lower 48? Our guest this week did the trip as part of training for a pilots license and it was an incredible adventure.
<...

They might all be terrible ideas, but we're still going to talk about them and figure out if any of it makes sense.
Listen

Listen
DLD 337: The Tropics of New England from 2021-06-10T13:30

Many things are happening in the aviation and travel world. We're talking about some of them in this week's show.

Listen
DLD 329: Dots, Lines & Losers from 2021-03-25T14:15

DLD 328: The thrill of the hunt from 2021-03-11T14:26

Listen
DLD 320: MAXimum effort from 2020-12-10T14:57
