    The Flight Deck Is Just The Beginning: Career Strategy for Pilots | Plus Southwest Kills 55 Years of Open Seating

    🎙️ EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck, we translate them first. This is The Bryan Air Debrief, where we break down airline strategy, economic forces, and the business moves shaping your career. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. When people ask what it takes to become a pilot, they're usually thinking about one thing—the flight deck. But the flight deck is just the beginning of a much bigger question: whose flight deck, and on what terms? This week we dig into career strategy that actually works: begin with the end in mind, then reverse engineer the flying career that gets you there. We also unpack why who you fly with matters more than what you fly—a lesson the industry rarely teaches. Then it's into the news: the NTSB clears the CRJ crew in the DC tragedy, UPS retires its entire MD-11 fleet after last year's crash, Southwest ends 55 years of open seating, and the FAA creates no-fly zones that move with ICE convoys. Plus, a rant about economy cabin behavior that every pilot will recognize.   ⏱️ TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Welcome: Boardroom Decisions Land on Your Flight Deck 00:43 Career Paths Decoded: Cargo, Corporate, Regional—Which Suits You? 02:56 Begin With The End In Mind: Reverse Engineering Your Aviation Career 04:37 The New Generation vs. Ours: How Pilot Opportunities Have Changed 10:15 Who You Fly With Matters More Than What You Fly 16:24 PSA Airlines Crash: NTSB Clears the CRJ Crew Completely 21:03 FAA's New ICE No-Fly Zones: Penalties for Drone Operators 22:00 55 Years Gone: Southwest's Open Seating Policy Is Dead 25:00 Delta Orders 31 New Widebodies: The Premium Push Continues 26:12 India's Self-Reliance Play: Building Regional Aircraft Locally 27:02 EasyJet Called Out: The Truth About "Cheap" Bag Fees 28:19 The Economy Cabin Rant: Overhead Lockers, Body Odor, and Bad Behavior 34:59 Closing Thoughts and How to Support the Show   💼 FEATURED DIGITAL PRODUCTS ✈️ Kaizen and the Art of Command & The Kaizen Command AI Mentor Leadership under pressure.

    Pilot Hiring Heats Up, EU Saves Your Delay Rights, and United's Historic Aircraft Order

    🎙️ 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, flight deck leadership, and the conversations you only hear at 38,000 ft.   The pilot hiring market just shifted from emergency mode to sustainable growth—if you've been waiting for your shot, this is it. Meanwhile, the EU Parliament just voted to keep your flight delay compensation at three hours (airlines wanted four), and United's about to take delivery of more wide bodies than any US carrier since 1988. Plus: a nose wheel departure in Orlando, a wifi hotspot bomb hoax, and the fake pilot who perfected the art of the jump seat con.

    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.
