  • Bursting the Bubble - Flying during the Pandemic
    Sep 23 2025

    It was a crazy time in the height of the Pandemic. Many people in aviation lost their jobs, and thousands of cabin crew and pilots lives were shattered. But there were some who remained to keep the airline afloat, ferrying around cargo, PPE, and the occasional flight with real passengers!

    But there were strict protocols to follow, and harsh consequences for anyone who broke them.

    In today's episode, we hear what happens when a girl is faced with temptation... Will she burst her bubble?

  • Are Cabin Crew Just a Number...?
    Sep 16 2025

    One of the biggest issues in the aviation industry, and amongst flight attendants right now, is the fact that many airlines treat their employees as just a number. And yet they expect them to treat their passengers as VIPs.

    Air Canada cabin crew recently went on a strike due to poor working conditions, and airlines have been using "covid" as an excuse for reducing rest days and numbers of crew working a flight. Meaning your cabin crew are exhausted and feeling unappreciated.

    That's not great on a good day, but on a day when an emergency happens and the crew have to deal with a major medical situation, the least you'd expect is to feel supported by the company.

    In today's story, based on true events and told to us by a crew member, we hear how one flight attendant was abandoned in his hour of need, which led to him wondering whether he could ever fly again.

  • An Interview with a Grumpy Stew
    Sep 9 2025

    The hilarious Dylan from The Grumpy Stew Podcast is here to talk about all the things that piss him off about the aviation industry.... Passengers that don't listen, airlines that mess you around - his brilliantly dry humor takes him around the world and we're excited to chat with him about why he still works as an international flight attendant - even though it drives him nuts!
