Podcasts about Air Canada

WestJet’s job action beginning during a busy long weekend has derailed the travel plans for some Canadians; when Air Canada went on strike, the federal government forced them back to work, but will they do the same for WestJet employees? A new national survey says Canadians are continuing to struggle with the high cost of groceries throughout the country; and more.

Bert also retells Bill Hader's retelling of Henry Rollins meeting David Lee Roth, and his daughter's instantly legendary Boston Tea Party take.

Episode 182 of the Award Travel 101 podcast opens with a spotlight on member Alison's incredible points-funded safari to Kenya, a reminder that award travel can unlock experiences far beyond flights and hotel chains. By leveraging a Virgin Red redemption, an Amex transfer bonus, and Alaska miles for long-haul flights, she and her travel partner enjoyed five nights at an all-inclusive safari lodge with twice-daily game drives for the equivalent of just over 80,000 points per night. The hosts also covered several noteworthy developments in the points world, including the opening of the new Chase Sapphire Lounge at Dallas/Fort Worth, the new Air Canada and Hyatt partnership, a lucrative Capital One Spark Cash Plus offer, and Rove adding Qantas as a transfer partner with a limited-time bonus.The hosts also shared personal travel updates and a useful booking lesson. Cameron discussed having a Qatar Airways flight to Thailand unexpectedly canceled without notice, ultimately reworking the itinerary through Chicago and securing a backup Starlux business class award. He also discovered that a Hyatt Place booking in Louisville appeared nonrefundable online but actually carried a 60-day cancellation policy after messaging Hyatt—a good reminder to verify cancellation terms instead of relying solely on what a website displays.The main discussion focused on the non-award tools that make the hobby easier. Angie and Cameron highlighted their favorite award search platforms, including Seats.aero, AwardWallet, MaxMyPoint, FlightConnections, and Google Flights, before expanding into budgeting software, credit card benefit tracking, and trip planning. AwardWallet and CardPointers were praised for keeping track of points, free night certificates, credits, and card offers, while Google Sheets, Google Maps, Facebook travel groups, TripIt, and ChatGPT have become essential planning tools for organizing itineraries, researching destinations, and building customized travel plans. The episode emphasized that while earning points is important, having the right collection of tools can save time, prevent costly mistakes, and make planning award travel far less stressful.Episode Links:Chase Lounge DFWCapital One Spark CashHyatt/ Air Canada partnershipRove adds QantasWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Angelo is joined by Nik and Dean Taylor to break down everything they saw at ICAST 2026, and the future of the fishing industry might not be looking as healthy as everyone thinks.The world's biggest fishing trade show felt noticeably smaller this year. Major brands were missing, attendance was down, entire award categories lacked competition, and a wine and champagne cooler somehow walked away as one of the show's top fishing products. Is ICAST dying, or does the event simply need a serious overhaul?The boys also discuss Garmin's new LiveScope 2 HD and Spy Pole, the explosion of bizarre urchin-style baits, questionable Best in Show results, and whether opening ICAST to the public could save the event.Before getting into the show, the crew breaks down Ontario's upcoming digital hunting and fishing licensing system, whether wildfire smoke changes fish behaviour, and another absolutely brutal Air Canada travel disaster that left flights cancelled, bags misplaced, and Angelo stranded in Orlando.Plus, encounters with fishing legends Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston, a surprise appearance from Steve Harvey, and plenty more from inside ICAST 2026.Enter the Fish'n Canada contest at FishnCanada.com

Flying is always stressful for Brent. He says he likes being in different and remote places, he just doesn't always enjoy the process of getting there. A fear of flying isn't the issue; trusting his possessions to strangers is. You're allowed to carry backpack with a shaving kit and extra change of clothes on the plane with you, but you can't carry a bow and arrow and store it in an overhead bin. If he could, though, he wouldn't have anything to talk about this week. Get your boarding pass and settle in at the gate. It's time for MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.

Freddie Scarratt, Global Deputy Head of InsurTech at Gallagher Re, joins James Benham and Rob Galbraith to unpack why 95% of all insurtech funding in Q1 2026 flowed into AI-focused companies, and what that means for the birth of an entirely new risk class: AI liability. From the Air Canada chatbot case that made headlines, to the hard lesson the industry learned when cheap venture capital tried to scale insurtechs like SaaS businesses, Freddie brings a reinsurance broker's view of where AI liability, cyber, and professional indemnity are converging into one digital risk category, and why insurance, unlike every other industry, can never fully cap its downside.

EasyJet's potential $7 billion takeover is putting Europe's remaining independent airlines on notice, Air Canada names a new multilingual CEO after a very public language controversy, and a sharp look at why the West ended up with two half-apps instead of one super app. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down which European airlines are most likely to be next in the consolidation wave EasyJet just triggered, why Air Canada's CEO succession story is really a cautionary tale about language and leadership in Canada, and why Google and Uber keep moving into each other's territory without either one closing the loop.

Joining Elias on this morning's show were Dan Delmar, political analyst and co-founder of TNKR Media, and Victor Henriquez, Public affairs and crisis management specialist at Public Strategy and Conseil. Among the topics discussed were: Air Canada has a new CEO; Anko Van der Werff. He can speak French. But he’s not Canadian. Is this an improvement? With signs that read “Not one more inch,” people living around Jarry Park are banding together to fight Tennis Canada’s proposal to build a new retractable roof stadium on the site. What if every young Canadian spent a year serving their country, not just in the military? Quebec will start testing certain truck drivers from Ontario that want to start driving commercial vehicles here.

From the Best of What On Earth – If you're a frequent flier, you may have noticed flights have been getting rockier lately. The potential culprit? Climate change. CBC producer Julia Pagel finds out how warming temperatures are making air turbulence worse, and what can be done about it. But first, she takes us back to 2019, when dozens of passengers were injured after an Air Canada flight bound for Australia hit severe turbulence and had to make an emergency landing.

Well sports fans, holding court and One Court - it's snowflakes in April, along with it being National Volunteer Week with its benefits to the community and yet with a historical track record of exploitation of people with lived experience of disability. As you can tell, it's another Outlook with a mixture of topics this week. We're back, all of us, and live in studio - sister/co-host Kerry is thrown off her train of thought, with soundscape of her recent Irish train trip to Limerick with BF Barry and Oyster. Students at Western are finishing up for another year and we'd like to thank The Gazette for their article written featuring us and the show this year. We're all talking what shows and movies we're into lately, Kerry and Barry are sharing about their return travel back to Canada with stories of their Air Canada cabin manager friend Elizabeth and on pushing back on the airline policy of passengers with disabilities waiting till the end for assistance while telling the story of a rather inappropriate discussion about Canada with an assistant bashing Canada and our weather and Canadians, even though they are a representative of the airline as they talk as they guide us through the airport. Kerry recently held court in a hotel lobby in Dublin, meeting and greeting friendly Irish and international travellers, and shares all about her conversations and orientation of her surroundings using her listening skills and AI and technology. Travel is a multi sensory experience and soundscape and riding the rails especially, in Ireland, brings all sorts of adventures, as topics, to us here on the mic, even as brother/co-host Brian turns Barry's mic down for a time. Brian shares about the discovery of the One Court device, a way of making sports more accessible and inclusive, as a tactile experience and allowing us to enjoy and follow the games (be it baseball, football, soccer, or basketball). It's a home run with the "One Court” and for more information on this device, check out: https://www.onecourt.io

Episode 2843 - In this wide-ranging Friday episode, Ted and Austin Broer connect the Supreme Court's Monsanto glyphosate lawsuit protection ruling, diet soda seizure risk, a Florida immigration detention facility costing $1 billion in taxpayer money, Health Masters' collagen superiority over mass market alternatives, an Air Canada pilot seizure incident, QAnon as a documented deep state psyop, and a dangerous eye color corneal dye procedure into a broadcast that delivers both urgent health warnings and sharp institutional accountability. 

Venezuela's capital is in chaos after two earthquakes in quick succession. Our guest tells us about the sight of toppled buildings in Caracas -- and the sound of those trapped inside. When an Air Canada pilot suffers a medical emergency during a flight, passengers get an unexpectedly bumpy and terrifying ride. One of NASA's most trusted telescopes is falling to earth, much earlier than anticipated. We'll hear about the rush to rescue it. A teacher in France tells us scorching temperatures aren't safe for learning or teaching -- so he's calling on his fellow educators to strike. After Ontario banned speed cameras, people in Toronto started driving a lot faster a lot more often. A city councillor says she's frustrated and troubled -- but not surprised. Political chaos in the UK has one silver lining: every time a prime minister resigns, a man known as "Hot Podium Guy" arrives to set up the microphones. As it Happens, the Thursday edition. Radio that appreciates a hot mic moment.

Here comes that heat again. Looking at temps in the mid-90's by Monday. Uffdah. Sadly, my shoulder injury kept me from working on the firepit in my backyard yesterday. But thankfully, it's been improving all week, and hopefully by next week, I'll be good to go. In the news this morning, a massive earthquake in Venezuela kills over 30 people, a pilot on an Air Canada flight had to be restrained by passengers after he suffered a seizure, the Knicks fan who dumped trash all over the sidewalk & stole a garbage can has not only been fired from her job…but after returning the stolen trash can…she got fined by the city, and the city of Fond du Lac is looking to pay you to move there! In sports, the Brew Crew complete the series sweep of the Reds with a 6-5 win last night, Team USA plays Turkey tonight at 9pm, a look at some of the interesting foods available at World Cup stadiums during the games, Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is arrested, the IOC is going to start paying athletes, and a World Series of Poker player was using a buttplug for a card protector and got in trouble! We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a remake of the Blair Witch is in the works, a musical based on "The Warriors" movie is being produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and some research on music lyrics has revealed that tunes are a lot meaner and more immoral than they used to be(DUH). A woman was saved from a burning house by her barking poodle, and a dude was recently reunited with a missing wallet that he didn't even realize he lost. It's "Hypothetical Thursday"…so we asked each other hypothetical questions today. Jean's question for Brian was: "If you could relive one year of your life, which year would you choose?" Meanwhile, Brian's question for Jean was: "You get $250,000…..but every traffic light you hit for the REST of your life is red. Do you take the money?" Elsewhere in sports, Josh Hokit appeared on the Ariel Halwani show and doubled down on his comments about Michelle Obama, the Mascot Hall of Fame is looking for nominations to join the Hall this year, and the Miami Marlins are going to hook one doggo up with a dream day after a recent viral video. Office Cora joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend, and in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music"….we had stories about a Waffle House lawsuit, an orange ooze that's becoming a problem in California, A.I. bots stole more than $264,000 in taxpayer-funded financial aid by making fake accounts for fake students, a #FloridaMan who was purchasing E.D. meds without a prescription & selling them at a retirement community, and a #FloridaWoman who got arrested…kicked a cop…and had a crack pipe stashed in her vagina.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The CEO of Heart Aerospace describes the development of a hybrid-electric 30-seat regional commercial aircraft. In the news, a near miss at Boston Logan between a landing Delta Air Lines flight and a departing American Airlines flight, NASA's Advanced Aircraft Concepts for Environmental Sustainability 2050 (AACES) program, Canada’s purchase of F-35A fighters and possibly Saab Gripens, and Canada’s look at early-warning-radar planes. Guest Anders Forslund is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Heart Aerospace, formed to electrify short-haul regional aviation. Heart Aerospace is developing the ES-30, a hybrid-electric 30-seat regional commercial aircraft. Heart is currently in upstate New York, testing the X1 demonstrator aircraft, which the company says will be the largest electric aircraft ever to fly. The company is backed by Bill Gates' Breakthrough Ventures and Y Combinator, as well as operator/investors United Airlines and Air Canada. Anders explains Heart Aerospace’s mission to lower the cost of air travel and how their clean-sheet Part 25 airliner will achieve about a 40% reduction in overall operating costs. The ES-30 will be an electric-motor-and-turboprop hybrid, while the full-scale X1 prototype is all-electric. The X1 demonstrator has completed low-speed taxi testing at the company’s X1 flight-test base at Plattsburgh International Airport in upstate New York. First flight is expected shortly, with type certification planned for 2031. Video: Heart X1 Completes Low-Speed Taxi Testing https://youtu.be/5jkyKevsJNI?si=1xreSjh_gRcI6xu2 Anders tells us about the Heart team and how aerospace development has changed in the last decade. The company strives to manage uncertainty rather than minimize it, holds itself accountable, and sets falsifiable goals. Before starting Heart, Anders was an aerospace researcher at Chalmers, where he was a driving force behind the Elise-Electric Aviation research project in Sweden, funded by the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova. He spent 2013-2014 at MIT, where his work on geometric variation of aerospace components was awarded the Charles M. Manly Memorial Medal. He is also a founding member of the Nordic Network for Electric Aviation. Anders has a Ph.D. in Aerospace Product Development and a B.Sc. in Engineering Physics from Chalmers. He has a dual M.Sc. in Astronautics and Space Engineering from Cranfield University and Luleå University, as part of the SpaceMaster program. He is also a member of Prince Daniel’s Fellowship for young entrepreneurs. Follow Heart Aerospace on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn. Aviation News Horrifying Near Miss at Boston Logan as Quick-Thinking Delta Air Pilots Go Around to Avoid Landing On Top of American Airlines Boeing 737 Delta Air Lines flight DL-2351, an Airbus A319 flying from Dallas, was landing at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), was cleared to land on runway 33L. Moments later, American Airlines flight AA-3161, a Boeing 737-800, was cleared to take off for Charlotte from intersecting runway 27. The pilots repeated the instruction back to the controller, and after about 40 seconds, started the takeoff. As Delta flight 2351 was about to touch down, the pilots saw the American Airlines plane and executed a go-around. That was followed by the air traffic controller asking the American flight, “American, where are you going?” Listen to the Incident Audio via @xJonNYC. Electra reveals 100-seat hybrid-electric aircraft concept Electra developed the concept under NASA's Advanced Aircraft Concepts for Environmental Sustainability 2050 (AACES) program. NASA has commissioned industry and academia to “develop transformative aircraft designs, propulsion technologies, and sustainability solutions for commercial aviation by 2050.” Electra's large airliner concept features a wide “double-bubble” fuselage that generates lift. Propulsion comes from two turbofans under the wings that produce thrust and electricity, as well as three fans mounted on the top of the aft fuselage. Electra says those fans would “ingest and re-energise slower-moving air over the fuselage, a technique known as boundary layer ingestion.” Other AACES participants include the Georgia Institute of Technology with the Liquefied Natural Gas Powered Athena Aircraft Concept, and JetZero with a hydrogen fueled blended wing body design. Congress Questions Air Force's Combat Rescue Readiness As HH-60W Helicopters Get Turned Into VIP Transports The Senate Armed Services Committee filed S. 4784, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 (NDAA), which establishes funding levels and authorities for the U.S. military. The 66th annual NDAA supports a total of $1.15 trillion in FY 2027 funding for national defense. In its report [PDF], the Committee expresses concern “about combat search and rescue (CSAR) force structure in the Air Force. In recent years, the Air Force truncated the buy of HH-60Ws and has since transferred 26 HH-60Ws from units responsible for CSAR operations to the Air Force District Washington (AFDW) to replace H-1 helicopters. AFDW uses these helicopters to support contingency response, homeland operations, and ceremonial honors in the National Capital Region. “The committee believes that these actions have left CSAR forces unnecessarily short of the forces needed to support CSAR operations in a major contingency. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct a study of CSAR requirements and capabilities, including HH-60Ws and HC-130Js, and provide a report and briefing on that study to the congressional defense committees, not later than March 31, 2027. “Furthermore, the committee directs the Secretary to avoid making any changes in CSAR force structure until the study is completed and he or she has provided the results of that study to the Congress.” Canada Plans Fleet Surge to 140+ Fighters as Low Cost Gripens Reduce Expenses According to informed sources, the Royal Canadian Air Force plans to grow its fighter fleet to 140, possibly by purchasing Saab Gripen jets. Canada has planed to purchase 88 F-35A fighters, but that could drop to 70, accompanied by 70 Gripens. Saab offered to establish final assembly, maintenance, and long-term industrial support in Canada. This would transfer technology and intellectual property to Canada. Under the F-35 program, sustainment and software updates are centralized in the United States. Canada to buy Swedish surveillance plane over US models Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada would not purchase early-warning-radar planes from the United States. Instead, they will purchase Saab’s GlobalEye, which is based on the Bombardier Global 6500 jet, manufactured in Canada. Price and fleet size were not announced. Saab said in a statement that as part of any deal, the company would invest in research and development work in Canada.

As I write this note, a heatwave is beating down on the UK, signalling the arrival of the busy summer travel season. With air traffic reaching record highs globally, airports and airlines are under increasing pressure to maintain efficient GSE operations, ensure smooth turnarounds, and uphold high safety standards for both passengers and ground handling teams. In this issue, we bring you the latest developments in the GSE space, focusing on ground power units (GPUs), water and lavatory vehicles, and equipment leasing and rental. Electrification continues to be at the forefront of the minds of aviation stakeholders. To learn more, I visited ITW GSE's factory in Odense, Denmark, as well as Rushlift GSE's operation at Gatwick Airport, to find out about the companies' approaches to electrification and to discover how new technologies are transforming GSE design and operations. Moreover, I caught up with Aviator Airport Alliance at IGHC Cairo to gather insights on how the Nordic ground handler is approaching eGSE transition. I also spoke with Mathieu Blondel, co-author of a report on the topic, about the opportunities and challenges associated with decarbonising ground operations. While sustainability is evidently a key focus for the industry, safety on the apron remains a pressing issue. March saw a tragic incident at New York's LaGuardia Airport, in which an Air Canada plane collided with an Oshkosh Striker 1500 airfield rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicle. Megan Ramsay explores the circumstances that led to the accident, as well as wider advancements in ARFF technology and design. An additional challenge in flight safety is also emerging: bird strikes, which can result in serious damage to aircraft and, in rare cases, have caused engine failure. Tony Harrington investigates whether enough is being done to tackle the issue. We also welcome back a guest writer, Mark Finch, who pens an insightful article on GSE pooling.

This week Chris and Jamal discuss a recent wave of Wayfarer-related bans and the lessons every Wayfinder can learn from them. The duo breaks down several forum posts from players claiming they were unfairly punished, only for the truth to unravel through forum investigations, misplaced pins, AI-edited nomination photos, multi-accounting admissions, and a few cases of people digging themselves deeper with every reply. Along the way, they discuss why the Wayfarer forums often provide a more balanced perspective than social media and offer practical advice on avoiding the dreaded banhammer. The conversation also takes a detour into a classic Tales from Canada segment featuring a former airline captain who allegedly flew commercial jets for 17 years without the required pilot license. Chris and Jamal discuss how such a thing could happen, what it says about trust in verification systems, and why both Air Canada and Transport Canada are likely eager to move on from the story. The episode wraps up with a look at a stunning butterfly mural for Wastepot of the Week, an appeal-worthy hobby shop nomination featuring one of the best supporting statements they've ever seen, and a Call of the Week highlighting why accurate pin placement remains one of the most important parts of a successful nomination.
