Episode 005: #PaxEx Promises Promises - a podcast by Runway Girl Network

Welcome to episode 005 of the #PaxEx Podcast. In this episode, we talk to Joe about his "I don't care" list, which details his gripes about the airline industry and the passenger experience. He suggests that airline C-level management teams "live in a bubble", and will make aircraft seats even tighter in the coming years.

Next we explore the viability of the current inflight connectivity model. At present, most airlines are charging for inflight connectivity, but passengers want Wi-Fi for free. At the same time, passengers' appetites for bandwidth are growing, yet most connectivity systems don't have the capacity to support high-bandwidth functionality.

Last but not least, we discuss how major airlines and #PaxEx corporations are micro-managing their messaging (and creating their own branded media); and the lack of transparency in the aircraft interiors industry. We consider what this paradigm means for journalists, the traveling public and, ultimately, passenger safety.
