| 4/22/26 |  The Government is Making Things Worse | There’s been overwhelming weirdness in the decisions coming out of the federal government, and it is creating real harm in this industry. Brian Sumers and Brett Snyder talk about the President weighing in about a rumored United-American merger, Trump's suggestion that the government bail out Spirit, and the heated transcripts of an FAA meeting around who could fly what at O'Hare. We would like to thank Plusgrade for supporting The Air Show. Show Notes: U.S. DOT/FAA - Chicago O'Hare Internatio... | 29m 03s | ||||||
| 4/16/26 | We Have to Talk About Mergers | Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said recently that the administration would like to see one of the larger airlines buy one of the smaller ones. At around the same time, Bloomberg reported that United talked about buying American. Jon Ostrower, Brian Sumers and Brett Snyder discuss how real any of this is, and what it would look like if any of the U.S. airlines merged. | 25m 23s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 | Breeze's Lukas Johnson Sounds Off | Brian Sumers talks with Lukas Johnson, Breeze Airways' opinionated chief commercial officer, to get his views on demand, fuel costs, credit card revenues and the power of an airline's brand. He also tells us who he thinks should replace Robert Isom (if Isom is let go) and why he's happy to be known as the industry's second-most arrogant commercial mind. Thanks to Gilat Stellar Blu for sponsoring this episode. | 41m 39s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | Oil, and the Rest of the World | U.S. airlines may be cautiously optimistic about the effect that high oil prices will have on their bottom line, but not so much executives at non-U.S. airlines. Fuel is really expensive out there for them. Jon Ostrower, Brian Sumers and Brett Snyder talk about the real concerns those companies have about covering their costs. Thanks to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport for sponsoring this episode. | 27m 18s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | United’s Media Day Extravaganza | Jon Ostrower and Brett Snyder report back from United's media day where new hard products were shown off on several different aircraft.

We would like to thank Plusgrade for supporting The Air Show. | 28m 40s | ||||||
| 3/19/26 | Euphoria Sweeps the Airlines | U.S. airlines gave an update of the business at the JP Morgan Industrials Conference and, despite the state of the world and spiking fuel prices, they basically said everything is awesome.

| 3/12/26 | The Myriad Aviation Angles in The War In Iran | The war in Iran sent a massive wave of disruption to flights operating throughout the region and any flight crossing overhead because it's a major aerial thoroughfare between India, Australia, Southeast Asia and Europe. Jon Ostrower and Brett Snyder examine the long-term effect on flows to places like Dubai and Doha as superconnecting hubs, and the impact that the swings in oil prices will have on all airlines globally. | 27m 33s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 | A Path for Spirit/The Chicago Drama | Spirit Airlines has a plan to save itself by adjusting to seasonal demand, pivoting into more premium seats and shrinking its debt and lease obligations. Brian Sumers and Brett Snyder break down whether the move will revive the Spirit brand. Plus, the FAA is stepping in to mediate the "arms race" by American and United to win future gate space at O'Hare.

| 2/12/26 | Frontier Goes Back to Big and Traditional | There was a great deal of intrigue surrounding Frontier Airlines not for what it did, but for what it didn’t do – sell tickets beyond early April until just recently.

| 1/16/26 | ATR Bets on JSX | ATR has built an aircraft that should interest U.S. airlines because of its low relative operating costs on short routes. But with larger airlines unwilling to take a chance on a turboprop, ATR is hoping public charter operator JSX will change the market. JSX is testing ATR-42s from Santa Monica, and if it works, it may add more. Jon Ostrower and Brian Sumers recently took a ride on the first JSX turboprop and spoke with the CEOs of JSX and ATR to learn more about this partnership. Reac... | 33m 23s | ||||||
