Near Catastrophe on Lufthansa Flight (Pilot Locked Out)

Today, On-Air with Dan and Alex, the duo dives into major aviation headlines—from spotting Riyadh Air’s first 787 to reminiscing about the iconic Airbus A340-600 and British Airways 747s. They unpack a chilling Lufthansa cockpit incident where a pilot was left unconscious mid-flight, raising critical questions about aviation safety protocols and two-person cockpit policies. The episode also breaks down record-breaking airline financials, including profits from Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Ryanair, and explores why Emirates refuses to order the Airbus A350-1000. Plus, reactions to United Airlines’ new Polaris business class, Pedro Pascal’s “economy” flight, and a lawsuit over cabin crew refusing to lift luggage. Dan and Alex close with listener Q&As covering widebody short-haul flights, rising airfares, and alliance speculation around WestJet. Packed with aviation news, airline analysis, and sharp humor, this is a must-listen for frequent flyers and avgeeks alike.
