Objective and thorough

What sets this podcast apart from other depictions of air disasters is the objective analysis of the hosts . John, Greg and Todd continue to display the same professionalism in reporting they showed while working various agencies . Their love and respect of air travel comes through loud and clear . I appreciate their alerting listeners to other sites to learn more about reports and events

A different take on pilot safety

I never got beyond ground school and a few lessons but I really enjoy how these guys take a multidisciplinary view on specific airplane “incidents.” They use reports, video, their own experiences, etc to shed light on how these accidents both occurred and could have been avoided.

Ads are not pleasant

I’m going to unfollow for a couple of months and see if you stop running ads. They are louder and annoying. Hopefully you’ll sto running them. I enjoy the expert information but not enough to suffer the ads.
