About this episode
Dylan and Max kick things off with a deep dive into the real debates that matter—hotel chain allegiances and the latest pilot hangout in Dallas. Max shares the chaos of nearly missing the birth of his child, a wild Honda Jet radio exchange, and an unexpected submarine sighting. The mailbag is packed with a debate on whether international flying is actually more fatiguing than domestic, a career transition question from an A&P mechanic turned pilot, and a listener with an incredible connection to legendary pilot Harvey Watt. Flight Advice tackles the serious question of what you should do with a "I'd rather be flying" license plate frame and shares some listener submitted advice to Nate the 18 year old.
