Join Nev, Matt, Armando and Matt for today's episode.
This week we discover that one low cost airline wins it's court case battle after strike action, the UK's legacy carrier places a big order for the 777-9 and we talk about about the recent turbulence at Gibraltar and Connecticut.
In the military one american air-frame manufacturer unveils it's 'Wingman' Drone and pilot error is blamed in the crash involving an A-29.
Matt (from the A320 Podcast) tells Nev about his recent Jet2 experience with his family and the development of their training courses for pilots.
