About this episode

Dylan and Max discuss their experiences with jet lag and travel, along with insights from listeners and a sobering accident discussion.

Dylan and Max recap a jet-lagged Japan ski mission, widebody travel wins and fails, and the realities of surviving brutal time zone changes. In the Mailbag, they dig into Saab war stories, Autoland edge cases, NBAA training standards, airline-branded watches, and career wins from listeners making the jump into jets. The Flight Advice segment centers on a sobering accident discussion and the risks of slipping from airline discipline into lightly regulated operations. As always, it's equal parts technical insight, hard-earned perspective, and questionable footwear choices.
