Hey everyone! Just listened to the latest Simple Flying podcast, episode 287. It's got some quirky and serious bits. So, apparently, pilots have been making animal sounds over ATC. I've got to say, that's something I'd never expect to hear in aviation news. Anyone else surprised by this? Wonder what the reasoning could be behind that...
Then there's the Lufthansa strikes. Not too shocked, honestly. Seems like labor disputes are popping up everywhere these days. Anyone got insights on how long this might go on?
And Southwest Airlines is opening new airport lounges. That's interesting. I mean, they're more known for being low-cost, right? Are they trying to compete with the big players in terms of passenger comfort now?
Overall, a mixed bag of topics but definitely worth a listen. What do you guys think about airlines expanding services like lounges? Does it sway your choice when picking who to fly with?
