    Why We're Picking Boeing: A320 "Solar" Glitches, Toxic Fumes & The $70M MH370 Bet

    🎙️ EPISODE SNAPSHOT   Welcome to the Bryan Air Podcast your weekly dose of real aviation talk. No PR polish. No corporate spin. Just pilots breaking down the stories shaping the skies: airline chaos, crew culture, decision-making, sport banter, and the conversations you only hear at 38 000 ft.     We're closing the hangar doors on 2025 with the ultimate cockpit debate: If the pay is the same, do you fly Boeing or Airbus? While the media hates on Seattle, we're taking a hard look at the A320's recent "solar radiation" nose-dive, toxic fume lawsuits, and why real pilots might still prefer the old-school metal. Plus, we breakdown the new $70M "no find, no fee" bounty on MH370, a $120k parking ticket for a "lost" 737, and why South African visa rules are a total dog show for business aviation.     ⏱️ TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN   00:00 Welcome to the Bryan Air Podcast 00:20 Season Finale Reflections 02:15 Boeing vs. Airbus Debate 04:04 Airbus A320 Issues 13:57 Tourism Challenges in South Africa 21:06 Emirates' New Airbus A350 23:20 FAA Investigations and Airline Fines 25:10 Forgotten Boeing 737 Found 26:18 The Beast: MI-26 Helicopter 26:49 MH370: The Search Continues 29:08 Amazon Drones in Waco, Texas 35:21 Cirrus Aircraft Trade-In Program 37:01 US-India Tensions Over 787 Crash 38:16 Springboks' Rugby Success 43:18 F1 Championship Showdown 45:28 Thank You to Our Supporters   💼 FEATURED DIGITAL PRODUCT   ✈️ Kaizen and the Art of Command   Leadership under pressure.
