In this newest installment of my podcast, Jay Ratliff (former airline executive and iHeart Airline Analyst) and I take you behind the headlines of some of the more unusual stories involving the airlines, such as:
- one woman displaces 128 fellow passengers when she refuses to wear a mask and the London bound flight heads back to Miami
- two Israeli passengers flying out of Newark decide they want to upgrade from coach to empty business class seats, and when the flight attendants tell them no, they get disruptive and force the plane back to the airport
- TSA believe it or not allows illegal immigrants to use an arrest warrant as proof of ID (yes it's true and we talk about it)
- A man stows away in the wheel well of a flight going from Africa to Amsterdam...and surprisingly survives
- Why British Airways flew from London to Orlando with only one passenger--there was a good reason
- Southwest Airlines considers changing policy, going from first come first served seating choice to assigned seating
