The week's aviation news, the way pilots actually talk about it.
More about the show
I'm Bryan Roseveare. I was an airline captain. I still go to work on the flight deck. It's just a full flight simulator these days, and the pilots I train are the ones who fly you around.
I set up the biggest stories in aviation with the facts, then my co-hosts Ryan Parrock and Alan Macaulay give their view: South African airlines and airports, the travel rules that hit your ticket, pilot careers, and the stories from the wider industry that end up on your flight. We don't always see it the same way.
I believe in the way an airline flight deck works: the structure and the discipline behind good decisions under pressure. Those habits are trained, so anyone can learn them. They also work for the engine failures of life.
Ranked the number one management podcast in South Africa by Feedspot.
Made in Johannesburg with South African honesty.
