I really like the idea of this podcast and I like the hosts and especially that they are pilot girlies, as it’s hard to find aviation podcasts hosted by women. However, there is a bit to be desired from this podcast and I just had a couple ideas that as a listener I think could improve the experience!
-I wish the hosts went more in depth on the topic listed in the title. For example, the episode on the CFI posting the Snapchat of the student, they really only talked about that specific topic for maybe about 10 minutes and it was very surface level and then they moved on to other stories
-I feel that some opportunities for great topics and learning lessons are overlooked. For example, the British Airways pilot that was caught doing coke on his overnight before the flight the next morning. First off, the comment about “if you’re going to do coke on your overnight, just don’t tell anyone” I found to be a HUGE yikes. Im sure it was meant as a joke but that’s a really horrible example to set as im sure a lot of newer pilots may be listening. I also found it was a big missed opportunity to talk about how at major airlines, (US unionized airlines at least) it is encouraged that if a pilot shows up to work impaired, the other pilot convince the impaired one to call out sick, instead of reporting him/her. This is so the impaired pilot can get substance abuse treatment instead of losing their right to fly and essentially losing their career. To me this is SUCH an important topic that I feel isn’t talked about enough.
Overall I feel like the podcast can be a bit aimless on its topic, at least from the couple episodes I’ve listened to. The last twenty minutes they talk about food or recipes, not aviation related at all. As a listener I would like to see a more in-depth analysis on a specific topic. Anyways that is just my opinion and I hope to see to see a bit of change on the podcast as I believe it has SO much potential! Thanks for reading.
