Too much “reading a script format.” After hearing this was the best airline podcast around, I found it to be very amateurish.

RIP our friend Ben. You left an amazing legacy.

Have just started listening and really enjoying it. Scott does a great job at balancing his usually management sided co-host.

You will be missed but this is a great thing you made this show I love listen to the show? I know that plenty of people would agree The show must be go on however it looks You will be in spirit lol Julian

Look, Ben and Scott are awesome and I look forward to this podcast every week. I don’t always agree with their views on the airline business (as a passenger at least) but their discussions are always thoughtful and piquant, and their positions earnest. It’s unfortunat that the review average has been distorted by people with petty grievances. The fact that they (very mildly) encouraged people to get vaccinated and believe there is actually a pilot shortage shouldn’t discourage you from listening. You’ll learn a ton of interesting stuff.

I only listen because Ben is a funny guy who uses his industry expertise to provide opinion to the stories shaping the industry. However, it seems like Chris is always annoyed or disagreeing with him during any opinion piece. Chris is smart, from what I can tell, but I don’t think this podcast is doing him any favors. He seems miserable. If Ben could get a new host, there would be a better listening experience for everyone! Ben may become alive again, and the show will succeed!

I love the show, it’s very informative, entertaining, and always engaging. One request of the hosts - please, please invest in higher quality microphones. Most of the time you sound like you’re recording the podcast in a barrel. Sound quality could really use an improvement.

I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in aviation. The podcast gives great insight on many aspects of the industry. The guests are always entertaining as well.

Political Correctness is destroying our country! These guys are anti-patriot progressives who believe in the removal of United States Constitution and God-granted freedoms. True Americans support freedom, not communistic mandates.

I really enjoy Ben’s perspective on the industry. He brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise - even if the facts aren’t always 100% accurate.

A great podcast for good and business-focused analysis on the aviation industry. Miss having Seth as a cohost. His replacement just isn’t as smooth.

Long time listener and a big fan, but over the past few months, things have gone downhill. Too many ads, the quality of discussion has declined, and replacing Seth was a mistake. Chris is clearly knowledgeable, and I’ve seen him do excellent interviews/commentary in other forums, but the Ben and Chris dynamic, as it currently stands, is just too dry. I haven’t given up that they can rescue it, but the podcast is in trouble. I no longer look forward to new episodes and now only occasionally listen.

1/27/21 Amended update: the pod took a hard turn to the left. It’s left wing propaganda masquerading as an airline podcast. Prepare for uber political statements supporting everything anti Trump and pro Biden. very little factual information and all opinion from a fiercely anti-military, anti-veteran co-host

Used to be my favorite podcast, I was excited every week when it would come out. But recently it has really gone downhill. I’m just going to say what everyone is thinking and say Chris is a poor host and we miss Seth Kaplan. The last couple episodes have been mostly Chris ranting about some political nonsense. I wouldn’t recommend any episodes post-Seth. We miss you seth

Common Chris, it took you two episodes to get political and present your more left leaning view of the world. You are better than that, know your audience. Many of your listeners are more right leaning... we are union members .... liberals during contract time, and conservative the rest of the time. Keep up the good work, but please keep your politics out of it. There are plenty of podcast to spout political rubbish. Thanks Spirit pilot

Very insightful! Interesting and enjoy the hosts.

Ok, I was listening to the episode on 2020-09-(42 or 45, something like that) and I was amazed by the story of all the Seth’s including the one at GMU and had now realized that Ben taught there. I know people in my immediate family who teach at GMU and was surprised by the story.

I always learn something new when listening to Ben and Seth. A great listen for anyone interested the airline industry. Highly recommended.

Great podcast guys. Very insightful. But...... please get some better quality microphones. Seth your microphone your using has so much distortion it’s a little painful to listen to sometimes...Bad quality audio ... sorry, just wanted to let y my guys know..

I work in the industry as both an airline pilot and airline analyst. Very entertaining and insightful podcast. On my ‘must listen’ list each week!

If you’re a frequent traveler, you probably won’t learn anything new. Also, Ben Baldanza spews nothing but corporate PR speak. For example, he defends baggage fees as though they lead to lower fares, since passengers only buy what they need. Maybe I missed it, but when airlines introduced baggage fees, I don’t think every fare dropped by $25????

Excellent discussion of the always interesting airline business !
