About this episode
Join Carlos, Nev, Armando, Matt BF, Will and Matt S for this week's programme. In today's show we learn about one German airline's strike woes, issues for one low cost carrier fleet of aircraft are 'rubbished' and one Spanish crew apologises for using the wrong squawk code triggering a serious incident at Schiphol airport. We talk to Will and Matt BF about their recent flying experiences. There was also an incredible surprise for Matt S at the end of the show!
