About this episode
Join the skeleton staff of Nev and Matt for today's show. In this episode we learn that if strike action goes ahead with the UK's legacy carrier they'll be the most highly paid to go on strike, more pilots are arrested for being over the drink / fly limit and the East of England's main airport ranks highly amongst the world's worst delayed flights. In the military we discover that a famous navy squadron is turning 100 and the RAF targets April next year to resume Maritime patrols.
