    Wide Bodies, Old Birds, and Early-Morning Van Chatter

    Send us a text Cody and Matthew open with legacy carrier fleet updates and Matthew’s 737 MAX 10 sighting at Boeing Field, then discuss widebody versus narrow-body life — why Matthew feels “special” on widebodies and why tall Cody struggles on narrow-body aircraft. They share stories about the Boeing Museum and defunct airlines, laugh about Albuquerque→Phoenix distance surprises, praise the Flighty app for tracking oldest/newest planes, celebrate the joys of bidding, confess to becoming “slam-clickers,” and complain about relentless hotel‑to‑airport van chatter.

    Layovers, Latte Logic and New Beginnings

    Send us a text Matthew and Cody gently unpack the quirks of in‑flight beverage service—how crews juggle hot drinks at altitude and the delightfully weird ways passengers order coffee. Matthew opens up about a tender career pivot from indie film casting director to flight attendant, while Cody shares a face‑palm interview outtake that might’ve cost him an airline invite and the tale of a baffling adults‑only party invite. Expect warm, candid stories, plenty of laughs, and thoughtful reflections on careers in the skies. Support the show

It’s a longer ride, but worth it, as we talk through what it takes to keep flights safe, calm, and (mostly) sane while the world scrolls by. Support the show
