We speak with a oneworld Alliance VP about airline alliances in general, and oneworld in particular. In the news: a mid-air near miss at Atlanta, NTSB and families call on Congress to act on the DCA accident recommendations, a civilian plane crash and military GPS jamming, adaptive-cycle jet engines and sixth-generation combat aircraft, and the unleaded avgas transition plan. Guest Roger Blackburn, Vice President – Commercial and Loyalty, oneworld Alliance. Roger Blackburn serves as the Vice President – Commercial and Loyalty for the oneworld Alliance. He leads the commercial team and oversees corporate revenue, events, and alliance fare products, as well as the development of oneworld's loyalty proposition. A member of oneworld's leadership team for the past six years, Roger has led several key alliance initiatives, including the creation of oneworld's first two branded lounges. In our conversation with Roger, we learn about the value that airline alliances provide to the member airlines, and what value accrues to the flying public. We look at criteria for membership in an alliance, network fit, commercial value, and alliance governance, as well as loyalty programs and lounges. For reference, here are the three major global airline alliances: Star Alliance, founded in 1997 by Air Canada, Lufthansa, SAS, Thai Airways, and United. oneworld, founded in 1999 by American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas. SkyTeam, founded in 2000 by Delta, Air France, Aeroméxico, and Korean Air. Aviation News Two Delta Air Lines Jets in Mid-Air Near Miss at Atlanta Hartsfield as Air Traffic Control Direct Departing Aircraft into Path of Other Plane This was a mid-air near-miss at ATL with two Delta Air Lines flights: Flight DL-1568 from Pittsburgh to Atlanta operated by a Boeing 737-900, and Flight DL-2472 from Atlanta to Rochester, New York, an Airbus A321. The airport was experiencing weather delays, and controllers were working at full capacity to clear the backlog. Departures and arrivals were taking place on parallel runways. DL-1568 had been scheduled to land three hours earlier and was diverted to Chattanooga to wait out a storm. The arriving flight 1568 elected to make a go-around after seeing a Frontier flight taking a long time to clear the runway. At the same time, departing flight 2472 was directed to turn and climb to the same altitude as the other Delta flight. A TCAS Resolution Advisory alarm sounded, and the aircraft came within 1,800 feet of each other. NTSB Chair, Victim's Families Call Upon Congress toTake Action on 50 Safety Recommendations After DC midair It's been a year and a half since American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided near DCA, killing 67 people. Six months ago, the NTSB issued safety recommendations. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy and families of the victims want Congress to take action on the 50 open recommendations. So far, Congress has failed to pass either the Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act or the Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency (ALERT) Act. Statement from NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy on the open recommendations for the investigation of the January 2025 midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport In part: “Six months ago, we concluded our investigation and adopted our final report, issuing 75 findings and 50 safety recommendations, all of which must be implemented to prevent reoccurrence, yet we are no closer today to addressing many of the serious safety gaps that contributed to this terrible tragedy. “Every day that passes without implementation of all 50 NTSB recommendations represents a continued and unacceptable risk to public safety. “The National Transportation Safety Board provided a clear roadmap to improve aviation safety and reduce the risk of another catastrophic midair collision. Now it’s time for action that was promised months ago; we owe it to the victims, to the families who continue to grieve their loss, and to the millions of people who rely on the safety of our aviation system every day.” A Civilian Plane Crashed in New Mexico. Was Military GPS Jamming To Blame? On May 14, 2026, a Trans Aero MedEvac Beechcraft King Air 90 crashed in the New Mexico Capitan Mountains, killing four people. The NTSB’s preliminary report [PDF] stated that routine military GPS jamming exercises from White Sands Missile Range were active at the flight’s altitude and location. ADS-B was also degraded. The crew's ForeFlight pre-flight package briefed the pilots on the jamming threat. Air Force eyes next-gen engine ‘integration' by 2030 Although no decision has been made, the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) system could go into the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) platform. Both Pratt & Whitney and GE Aerospace are developing NGAP prototypes which the Air Force intends to compete for future production. NGAP is designed to be platform agnostic and is a multi-billion-dollar program using adaptive-cycle jet engines for sixth-generation combat aircraft that change jet engine characteristics in flight, allowing more fuel-efficient cruising or increased thrust. GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney (RTX) are the two competitors, building prototypes designated GE’s XA102 and P&W’s XA103. As of late July 2026, the program completed a pre-prototyping readiness review, with both contractors having met the Air Force’s design requirements, clearing the way to begin building and testing hardware. ‘Final' Unleaded Avgas Transition Plan Released The so-called “Version 1.0” of the 72-page FAA transition plan was released, updating a draft plan released earlier this year. The FAA says it's keeping the 2030 target date for replacing 100LL with unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel takes center stage at AirVenture The FAA took some of the comments received to heart, including communication and transparency. AOPA reports, “the FAA plans to release new versions of the transition plan after each phase. The agency also plans to publish two additional documents soon: an FAQ on unleaded fuel and a summary of the input received during the public comment period in early 2026.” Four transition phases make up the plan: Authorizing fuels and doing comparison testing. Focus on unleaded fuels gaining market experience for the benefit of fuel producers, aircraft owners, fuel retailers, and others. Wide-scale transition, first in the Lower 48 by 2030. Followed by Alaska two years later.

What does it take to steer a £50 million business towards its founder's vision of lasting 100 years? Andrew Clint, CEO of myenergi, joins us fresh from the company's 10th anniversary celebrations to talk about the next 90.Eighteen months into the role, Andrew explains why myenergi — best known for zappi, the first solar-aware EV charger — is refocusing on Lee Sutton's original ambition: a complete home energy management system. That means vehicle-to-grid on the horizon, the libbi home battery, Grid Pay rewarding customers for grid flexibility, and software that quietly optimises solar, battery and EV charging without the homeowner lifting a finger. His maths is compelling: a full ecosystem could save households around £1,500 a year — close to a zero-bills home.Andrew is candid about why so many charging companies have come and gone while myenergi endures: knowing exactly what you are, and what you aren't. He also digs into how AI is accelerating the business, from a new data lake on AWS to machine learning that learns a household's habits.Andrew also discusses walking away from British Airways after missing out on a job, growing a De La Rue division from £30m to £90m, and the mother whose question — "is that really the best you can do?" — still drives him today.Connect with Andrew:LinkedInFind out more about myenergi:myenergi.com

Pourquoi les compagnies aériennes remettent l'Airbus A380 en service

Alors que le Salon aéronautique de Farnborough réunit les grands acteurs mondiaux de l'aviation, un avion que beaucoup pensaient condamné fait son retour sur le devant de la scène. L'Airbus A380, dont la production a été arrêtée en 2021, retrouve aujourd'hui une seconde vie. Une renaissance qui s'explique avant tout par des raisons économiques. Le Salon aéronautique de Farnborough a ouvert ses portes. Jusqu'à vendredi, constructeurs, compagnies aériennes, motoristes, équipementiers et investisseurs vont scruter les tendances d'un secteur qui n'a jamais autant transporté de passagers. Les commandes d'avions devraient une nouvelle fois se compter en dizaines de milliards de dollars. L'occasion de s'intéresser à un appareil que tout le monde disait condamné, mais qui connaît aujourd'hui une étonnante seconde vie : l'Airbus A380. Capable de transporter plus de 500 passagers, ce géant des airs à deux étages a été lancé au début des années 2000 avec de grandes ambitions internationales. Pourtant, l'A380 n'a jamais rencontré le succès commercial espéré. Trop gourmand en kérosène avec ses quatre réacteurs, trop difficile à remplir pour être rentable au quotidien, parfois même impossible à accueillir dans certains aéroports en raison de sa taille, son déploiement a rapidement eu du plomb dans l'aile. La crise sanitaire a ensuite semblé lui porter le coup de grâce. Pendant des mois, les avions sont restés cloués au sol et la reprise du trafic a été lente. Plusieurs compagnies ont progressivement retiré leurs A380 de leur flotte, tandis qu'Airbus décidait d'arrêter définitivement sa production en 2021. À lire aussiComment les compagnies aériennes se réinventent pour nous faire prendre encore plus l'avion Pourquoi les compagnies aériennes ressortent leurs Airbus A380 Mais contre toute attente, les compagnies aériennes remettent aujourd'hui leurs Airbus A380 en service. La raison est simple : le trafic aérien mondial a retrouvé, puis dépassé, son niveau d'avant la pandémie. La demande de voyages internationaux est telle que les compagnies se retrouvent confrontées à un manque d'avions. Dans le même temps, Airbus et Boeing ne parviennent plus à livrer les appareils au rythme attendu. Les conséquences de la pandémie, les difficultés de la chaîne d'approvisionnement et les retards du futur gros-porteur de Boeing, le 777X, ont considérablement allongé les délais de livraison. Pour pallier cette pénurie, plusieurs compagnies ont choisi de remettre en service leurs A380. C'est notamment le cas de Lufthansa, mais aussi de Qantas ou encore de British Airways. À lire aussiLes difficultés d'Airbus inquiètent l'industrie aéronautique Pourquoi l'Airbus A380 est redevenu rentable Comment expliquer qu'un avion considéré comme trop cher soit redevenu rentable ? La réponse est avant tout économique. Pour une compagnie aérienne, remettre en service un A380 et rénover sa cabine représente quelques millions d'euros. Une somme importante, mais bien inférieure au coût d'achat d'un gros-porteur neuf. D'autant que ces appareils sont déjà totalement amortis dans les comptes des compagnies. Surtout, ce qui compte n'est pas le coût de l'avion, mais son coût par passager transporté. Un A380 à moitié vide reste un gouffre financier. En revanche, avec un prix du kérosène qui demeure élevé, lorsqu'il décolle avec plus de 500 voyageurs à bord, son coût par siège devient particulièrement compétitif. L'économie du transport aérien repose ici sur une logique de volume. Plus l'avion est rempli, plus les coûts fixes sont répartis entre les passagers. À cela s'ajoute la saturation de nombreux grands hubs internationaux comme Londres-Heathrow, Dubaï ou Singapour. Les créneaux de décollage et d'atterrissage y sont devenus si rares qu'il est souvent plus rentable de transporter davantage de passagers avec un seul avion plutôt que de multiplier les vols. L'histoire de l'Airbus A380 rappelle ainsi qu'en économie, un produit peut être considéré comme un échec à un moment donné avant de redevenir une solution quelques années plus tard. L'A380 n'a pas changé. C'est le marché qui a changé. À sa manière, le géant des airs ressemble aujourd'hui au phénix: un avion que l'on croyait disparu, mais qui renaît de ses cendres.

Joanna Simpson was brutally killed by her estranged husband, British Airways pilot Robert Brown, just one week before their divorce was due to be finalised. Brown pre-dug a grave and hid her body in Great Windsor Park. He finally admitted killing Joanna with a claw hammer, but he was acquitted of murder and convicted of manslaughter which meant he was eligible for release after 13 years. Following years of campaigning by Joanna's mother Diana Parkes, best friend Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, Laura Richards and thousands of Crime Analyst listeners, Brown's automatic release was stopped in 2023.   He came up for parole in April 2026. In this episode, Laura interviews Hetti Barkworth-Nanton and they take you behind the Parole Board Hearing sharing new details about Brown's psychopathic behaviour and ongoing risk.   Laura analyses and discusses with Hetti the significance of the evidence considered by the panel, including the relevance of coercive control, the importance of judicial sentencing remarks, and why understanding behavioural patterns - not simply convictions - is imperative when assessing dangerousness and risk.    In this episode Laura and Hetti discuss:  The significance of the fact-finding process prior to the Parole Board Hearing.   What the panel learned about Robert Brown's behaviour and psychology from a 330 page dossier.   Why psychopathy and behavioural patterns matter in risk assessment.   The importance of coercive control when assessing risk and dangerousness.   The knife incident and why it remained significant despite no criminal conviction.   Why the original sentencing remarks became crucial evidence years later.   The difference between criminal convictions and behavioural evidence.   What "retained culpability" means and why it mattered at the Parole Board Hearing.   Lessons for professionals assessing high-risk perpetrators.   Why understanding coercive control saves lives.     This episode continues Crime Analyst's landmark series examining Joanna Simpson's murder, the campaign that prevented Robert Brown's release, and the lessons every professional -and every listener - can learn about coercive control, risk assessment and the importance of understanding dangerous behaviour before tragedy occurs.    If you haven't already listened to Laura's landmark Joanna Simpson series, start here: https://www.crime-analyst.com/case-004-joanna-simpson-a-miscarriage-of-justice/    #JoannaSimpson #HerNameWasJoSimpson #RobertBrown #BritishAirwaysKiller #CoerciveControl #Stalking #PreventMurderInSlowMotionä #WomenMatter #ChildrenMatter #DomesticAbuse #MaleViolence #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #DomesticHomicide #NotAnotherJo      Clip   https://www.facebook.com/reel/1494827995475239    Sources  View the Judicial Review  Crime Analyst Episodes on Joanna Simpson's case:  Ep 105: Joanna Simpson: A Miscarriage of Justice, Part 1  Ep 107: Joanna Simpson: A Miscarriage of Justice, Part 2  Ep 110: How to Save a Life with Hetti Nanton, Part 3  Ep 111: Reflections of Joanna Simpson, Part 4  The Case of Joanna Simpson: the British Airways killer who must stay behind bars  The Case of Joanna Simpson: killer pilot Robert Brown planned every detail of killing Jo  Ep 189: The British Airways Killer to Remain in Prison: The Judicial Review, Part 5    SIGN the petition for serial domestic abusers and stalkers to be on the same register as sex offenders and ensure they are proactively assessed and monitored.    https://www.jsfoundation.org.uk/  https://refuge.org.uk/    Laura's Resources and Training information: www.dashriskchecklist.com    www.thelaurarichards.com     Crime Analyst YouTube, Socials and Website     YouTube @crimeanalyst      Facebook Crime Analyst Podcast     Instagram @crimeanalyst @laurarichards999     Threads @crimeanalyst     X @thecrimeanalyst @laurarichards999      TikTok @crimeanalystpod     Website www.crime-analyst.com      Leave a 5* Review https://www.crime-analyst.com/reviews/new/ Learn more about your ad choices.

WE HAVE… FERNANDO GOING TO ALPINE AND FLAVIO…RIDICULOUS X3 THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…INTERVIEW WITH HOWDEN GANLEY ONE OF THE ORIGINAL EMPLOYEES AT MCLAREN!! WE DO NEED YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO KEEP THIS PROGRAM ON THE AIR JUST CLICK ON THE SUPPORT F1W TAB ON THE FRONT PAGE YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO! howden ganley... Born in 1941 in Hamilton, New Zealand, Howden Ganley's youthful ambitions were to either race yachts or play for the All Blacks New Zealand Rugby team. However, after attending 1955's New Zealand Grand Prix with his father and brother his ambitions changed and he set his goal on racing in Formula 1. After leaving school, he became a reporter for a newspaper and wrote a column for a magazine and once he obtained his license he raced in local events in his Mother's Morris Minor. He progressed to a Lotus Eleven but in order to fund his racing ambitions he was doing three jobs, on a construction site during the day, waiting tables in a restaurant at night then pumping gas at weekends. Once he obtained the Lotus he entered it for 1961's New Zealand GP at Ardmore and he won his class in the sports car race plus a race for New Zealand drivers only. He went on to race for two seasons though in a wet race at Dunedin his car finished up wrapped round a telegraph pole but he was fortunately uninjured. He eventually moved to the UK and began a career as a mechanic, becoming involved with Mike Moseley, who was planning on producing a road car called the Falcon 515. Once he helped get the car into production he would be allowed to build a lightweight version and race it. A friend, John Muller, helped him and he said the two shared a “bedsit over a railway line, ice on the inside of the window, single light socket hanging from the ceiling. There was a coin-slot meter, but we just plugged everything into that one light socket, because that was free, and put a six-inch nail across the fuse box.” From here he moved on and joined the Gemini Formula Junior team, as a mechanic and driver. He competed in his first single seater race at Goodwood and following this was the Nurburgring (finishing 14th out of 41 starters) but the team later lost their sponsorship and folded. He then became involved with the Talon F3 car but then came an offer from Bruce McLaren and he became one of the first employees of Bruce McLaren Motor Racing, working alongside Wally Wilmott, Tyler Alexander and Eoin Young in “a shed in New Malden full of earth-moving equipment: dirt floor, work bench, vice, set of welding bottles, a hacksaw and a file.” When asked by Tyler and Wally ‘Why are you here?', and telling them he was a mechanic, they told him “No you're not. We don't know whether you can thread a nut on the end of a bolt. You're a gopher.” During this period he worked as crew chief at Drummond Racing for Skip Scott and Peter Revson during the 1966-67 Can-Am season. After purchasing a Brabham BT21, he went on to race for two years in the series then switched to a Chevron B15. Towards the end of 1969's F3 season, despite starting 22nd on the grid at Brands Hatch, he was 11th by the fourth lap, sixth on lap 14 and on the last lap he was fourth after overtaking Francois Cevert in a Tecno. Going into the last corner while fighting another car for third he put a wheel on the grass, which let F.Cevert to get past. However, although he eventually finished fifth he had broken the circuit's F3 lap record at an average of exactly 100mph. His F3 racing then led to F5000 with a McLaren M10B-Chevrolet in 1970 and during the year he finished fourth in Oulton Park's Gold Cup race and finished second in the series to Peter Gethin. McLaren regularly tested the F5000 car at Goodwood and on one occasion Denny Hulme was also there with the Can-Am car. They needed someone to go in the passenger seat and “take the readings on a manometer or something they had in there. And nobody wanted to get in! Bruce asked me to do it. That was pretty entertaining, Denny right on the limit with me taking the readings. It was fantastic for me, because I totally trusted Denny. I also did a little bit of Can-Am testing in the M8.” Howden described Bruce McLaren as “the greatest leader of men I've ever met in my life…he was one of the nicest people, always happy and smiling, even in adversity, cheery, friendly. And he had that amazing ‘can do, will do,' attitude.” His F5000 racing brought him to the attention of the BRM F1 team, who signed him for 1971 and he took a strong fifth place in the Italian GP at Monza and fourth at Watkins Glen while in non-championship races he finished second in Oulton Park's Gold Cup, fourth at Hockenheim and fifth in the Race of Champions. In taking his fifth place at Monza, he was involved in the closest finish in GP history when just 0.61 seconds covered the top five finishers. In the team, he watched the strong competition between Pedro Rodriguez and Jo Siffert “As the new boy I saw their rivalry at first hand. Each was determined to beat the other. If I ever set a faster time than one of them in practice or in a test, the other was always delighted. They each wanted the new kid to put the other down. But they were both just wonderful characters, wonderful blokes.” Racing in sports cars, he had a third place finish in a Can-Am race at Riverside with a BRM P167 and co-drove (with Paddy Driver and Mike Hailwood) to third at the Kyalami 9 Hours with a Chevron B19. At the end of the year he was awarded the Wolfgang von Trips Memorial Trophy, for the best performance by a newcomer to Grand Prix racing. Continuing with the team the following year his best finish was fourth at the Nurburgring but in sports cars he won Interserie races at Nurburgring and Zeltweg with a BRM P167 Chevrolet plus finished second at Le Mans with François Cevert in a Matra-Simca MS670. For 1973 he raced Frank Williams Racing's Iso–Marlboro, with his best results being seventh in Brazil and sixth at Mosport. However, that Canadian GP at Mosport could best be described as one of the most chaotic seen. When the race started, it was raining though it stopped and with the track drying the drivers headed to the pits to change tyres. However a number of drivers had to drive through as there was no space for them to be serviced in the small, busy, pit lane. When Jackie Stewart came in his teammate François Cevert's car was up on jacks and he was waved through to take another lap. Once they were back racing nobody knew exactly where they were in the scoring and after Francois Cevert and Jody Scheckter crashed a safety car was deployed. But the safety car pulled in front of Howden, who people maintained wasn't the leader at the time. But nobody has ever been able to say who was the leader plus nobody was really sure who had won, (was it Howden, Jackie Oliver, Peter Revson, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mike Hailwood or James Hunt?). In the end, the race organizers decided Peter Revson had won, with Emerson Fittipaldi second and Jackie Oliver third. Asked at a later date who actually won, Howden declared it was Emerson Fittipaldi, with himself in third place. He said “My wife (Judy Kondratieff, a U.S. sports car racer who was an SCCA regional champion) was the best keeper of lap charts. It was not unusual for other teams and sometime race organisers to double-check what they had against hers. We went over and over what she had for weeks after that race. There's no doubt that Emerson won, with Jackie Oliver probably second and me probably third. We thought, initially, that I had won but when we checked and rechecked, I was in third. As it dried up, I saw what was happening in the pits, and I said there was no way I was going in there. My teammate, Tim Schenken, had stopped, but I waited till things calmed down. I eventually made a very good stop, and the pit lane was clear; I was in and out. So, off I go again — but I didn't know if anyone had gone by me while I was in the pits.' When he came up behind the safety car, they were telling him he was leading and when it pulled off and continued racing, “Emerson got past and maybe Ollie (Jackie Oliver). But Peter Revson never passed me on the track or while I was in the pits.” His wife Judy took her lap chart to the officials but they weren't interested and Howden was classed as finishing sixth, and given one point. In sports cars that year he was usually paired with Derek Bell in the John Wyer Gulf Mirage and took fifth in the 1000Km Zeltweg, fourth at the Watkins Glen 6 Hours plus second in the Spa 1000 Km race (though with Vern Schuppan). He started 1974 with March in Argentina and Brazil (finishing eighth in Buenos Aires) but then accepted an offer from F1 newcomers Maki. Unfortunately it was a frustrating time as he failed to qualify for the British GP but then sustained serious feet and ankle injuries when the suspension broke during practice at the German GP. He found himself in hospital with Mike Hailwood, who had also crashed, and told how team boss Louis Stanley helped them. He arranged a helicopter flight from the hospital to Cologne then “persuaded British Airways to take two stretchers on a scheduled flight, met us at Heathrow, got us to St Thomas' Hospital and laid on the great Mr Urquart — the surgeon who'd looked after Stirling Moss and John Surtees after their big accidents. Urquart's technique for rebuilding bone was, if you can stand the pain you should walk on it. In 16 days I was hobbling around St Thomas.” It would be nine months before he raced again, ironically returning to the Nurburgring with a Mirage GR7 in the 1000Kms race with Tim Schenken and despite Howden not being able to push the brake pedal properly they finished second. During 1975 he also finished second and third in Interserie races at the Nurburgring and Hockenheim with the Mirage. He then raced in Can-Am before retiring as a driver in 1978 but in that time he formed Tiga Race Cars with Tim Schenken (the name coming from TIm and GAnley). The company built Formula Fords and Sports 2000s, Formula Atlantics, C Sports for America, two Can-Am cars, 33 Group Cs, some Formula Ks for Mexico and Howden said that “by 1986 we'd delivered over 400 cars.” There were also plans to compete in Formula One but the project did not proceed due to sponsorship withdrawal. After Tiga he was elected onto the board of the BRDC, and became a director of Silverstone Circuits and Silverstone Estates as well. He was Club Secretary for a period but after leaving the boards they made him a Vice President. Howden also published an autobiography ‘The Road to Monaco: My Life in Motor Racing' which was described as “an exciting, absorbing and often wryly amusing view of motor racing, from the workshop, the pit wall, the cockpit, and many other vantage points.” Sadly, Howden's wife Judy developed cancer and passed away in 2007.   Peter Hooper Howden Ganley endured a frustrating year driving one of Frank Williams ISO-Marlboro in 1973. His one claim to fame was “leading” the Canadian GP behind the pace car. Unfortunately for Howden, things got even worse in 1974 when the Maki failed and he ended up with serious leg injuries. I always liked the Isos and this drawing was a joy to do.

On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down why Airbnb's focused World Cup bet is a masterclass in what targeted spending can do against a much bigger budget, how British Airways and Delta are turning theaters and concert halls into year-round loyalty platforms, and why extended-stay hotels may be the least glamorous but most attractive investment opportunity in hospitality heading into 2027.

235: You Get Paid for This? with Will Steel

FINE is a 4-Letter Word

What do you do when you get offered the top job in your industry and you turn it down anyway? Will Steel did exactly that. He grew up in rural Yorkshire, delivering milk at the age of three alongside his mother, who ran the family's milk round for 40 years just to cover the grocery bill. He worked for a stonemason from age 12 to 16, digging graves and mending roofs. He talked his way into an engineering apprenticeship, earned two technician qualifications simultaneously, got into university, discovered the Royal Air Force Flying Club, and became an RAF pilot — something he describes as almost impossibly unlikely for someone with his background. Then he joined the airlines. And hated it. He calls commercial flying "like being a bus driver" — rigidly routed, waiting to get home, doing it for the paycheck and nothing else. When he discovered the Landmark Forum and realized he could make a real difference with people, he was offered the top role in UK aviation: flying long-haul 747-400s out of Heathrow for British Airways. At the same time, he was offered a job starting at the bottom in personal development work — with a 75% pay cut. He took the pay cut. On this episode of Fine is a 4-Letter Word, Will Steel — now a business coach, author of Free to Lead, and host of the Free to Lead podcast — talks with Lori Saitz about the values he was raised with, the career pivots that looked like madness from the outside, and the core problem he now spends his days solving: business owners who are working 65-75 hours a week, trapped inside their own companies, unable to delegate, and wondering why the business is not growing. He also shares the practical tool he uses to help clients get their time back, the story of a car body shop owner who went from chasing $2.5M to landing a $23.5M acquisition offer, and why authenticity is not a feeling — it is a practice of catching yourself being inauthentic and telling the truth about it.

Mother of two, Joanna Simpson, was brutally killed by her estranged husband, British Airways pilot Robert Brown, on 31 October 2010. Brown smuggled a claw hammer in to Joanna's home and bludgeoned her to death before burying her body in a pre-dug grave. Despite this, Brown was acquitted of murder and convicted of manslaughter.

One of the central accusations involves an airline stewardess who allegedly said Andrew behaved inappropriately during a flight, grabbing or spinning her around before grinding against her. The accusation adds to the larger image of Andrew as someone who moved through elite spaces with entitlement, arrogance, and a sense that normal boundaries did not apply to him.Another alleged airplane incident involves Andrew on a British Airways flight to New York in 2010, where a flight attendant claimed he complained that his bottled water was too cold before putting it inside his trousers and joking that it would warm up there.

What happens to all those leads marketing works so hard to generate? More often than not, they go cold. According to Nishi Seth, Industry & Solutions Marketing Lead for Google Cloud APAC, this isn't a niche problem. It's one of the most persistent challenges across B2B, regardless of company size or sophistication. In this episode, Shahin sits down with Nishi to unpack the real reasons leads stall between marketing and sales, from qualification gaps to missing context, and what it actually takes to fix them. Nishi shares battle-tested lessons from scaling Google Cloud's marketing-to-sales motion across APAC, including how AI is transforming BDR productivity right now. Guest Introduction Nishi Seth is the Industry & Solutions Marketing Lead for Google Cloud APAC at Google, with over 20 years of experience across cloud technology, financial services, and travel. She has held senior marketing roles at American Express and British Airways, and is a recognised B2B marketing leader across the Asia-Pacific region. Key Topics Why leads go cold: the two root causes (qualification gaps and context gaps) and why even the most sophisticated B2B organisations struggle with themThe three pillars of an optimised marketing-to-sales handover: lead quality, context, and a continuous review and feedback loopWhy BDRs are the critical bridge between marketing and sales, and how to assess whether your BDR function is actually workingHow MQL definitions should evolve over time: Google Cloud's journey from basic demographic scoring to 48+ real-time intent signals, including account-level qualificationWhat providing context to BDRs really means: enablement calls, campaign-specific opening scripts, and cadences tailored to how each lead engagedThe key metrics that reveal handover health: SAL acceptance rates, SAL-to-SQL conversion, number of outreach touches, and lead velocityHow AI is changing BDR productivity: using automation for low-intent lead follow-up, real-time AI assistants during live sales calls, and AI-powered account research at scaleNishi's rapid-fire take: "strong opinions, loosely held," using AI to boost your own marketing productivity, and why simplifying complexity in B2B is what excites her most Resources & Links Google Cloud — Nishi's base for all real-world examples discussed, from MQL definition evolution to AI-powered BDR toolingGoogle Gemini — Nishi's go-to research tool in place of following influencers; she also used it to prepare for this episode Contact & Credits Host: Shahin Hoda Guest: Nishi Seth Produced by: Shahin Hoda and Alexander Hipwell Edited by: Alexander Hipwell Music by: Breakmaster Cylinder APAC's B2B Growth Podcast is Presented by xGrowth

The Big Topic in this week's episode, Martin Lewis explains the latest on Car Finance Mis-selling – what's going on and why the wait? Martin unpacks it all, with up to 11 million motorists potentially owed a share of £9 billion due to mis-sold car finance deals. So why haven't payouts started flowing? He explains the key reasons for the delay. Plus, there's a crucial new development: the financial regulator is now urging consumers not only to complain about the original car finance but also to scrutinise and potentially challenge the claims management firms that many have relied on to handle complaints. Martin lays out what you should be doing right now to protect your claim and maximise any potential payout.Adrian Chiles found himself £15 out of pocket after being charged on his credit card for something he didn't purchase. Martin explains the simple, powerful consumer protection that can help you reclaim your money quickly. Whether it's through chargeback or Section 75 protections, he breaks down exactly what to do if you spot an unfamiliar transaction, and how to act fast for the best chance of success.Finally, Martin highlights a worrying trend affecting travellers. He explains how some British Airways customers are being nudged into paying significantly more than necessary for travel permits. If you're planning a trip, this is essential listening: Martin shares how to avoid overpaying, what to watch out for, and how to make sure you're only paying what you actually need.If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can!

Jackie and Brent break down the logistics, the planning, and how points and miles made the whole thing possible — turning what would have been an outrageously expensive last-minute multi-city trip into something totally doable.Two news items worth knowing: American Airlines appears to be cutting off partner programs like British Airways and Alaska from booking last-minute saver awards within 144 hours of departure, while those same seats remain available through AA's own miles program. On the brighter side, Hyatt is rolling out Advance Booking Access starting June 30, 2026, giving Explorist, Globalist, and Lifetime Globalist members a 13-month award booking window — a full month ahead of everyone else.The episode closes with a spotlight on Chicago Seminars (November 6–8 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago O'Hare), a weekend gathering of roughly 500 points-and-miles enthusiasts featuring sessions ranging from beginner to advanced, manufactured spending discussions, and networking — plus a philanthropic component benefiting select charities.

Whether you are a first-time founder or a seasoned executive, Bryan's unconventional advice on value creation and market timing is a masterclass in modern leadership. Key Takeaways The "Used Car" Origin Story: Bryan reveals the truth behind the rumor and how early sales experiences shaped his executive vision.

Watch Us On YouTube! Announcing a new, ongoing benefit for annual subscribers of our Slack community. Annual subscribers receive a free Points Path Alerts subscription OR a 30% discount on Points Path Pro. Hyatt's new award pricing is officially here — and travelers are still trying to figure out exactly how bad it is. This week on Miles To Go, Ed is joined by Julian Kheel from Points Path to break down Hyatt's new multi-tier award pricing system, including what changed, which properties were hit hardest, and whether this truly changes the value proposition of Hyatt loyalty. They also discuss where Hyatt still trails competitors — especially around free night certificates and "4th or 5th night free" style benefits — and why the next 12 months could be important for Hyatt's long-term strategy. From there, the conversation shifts to a surprisingly valuable new Chase offer through the Paze wallet platform, where Sapphire cardholders can currently earn up to 10x Ultimate Rewards points with select merchants. Plus, British Airways raises carrier-imposed surcharges yet again, Delta may be expanding free checked bag benefits on its credit cards, and Ed shares another frustrating round of United Wi-Fi roulette while waiting for Starlink to expand across the fleet.  Get hydrated like Ed in Vegas with Nuun Use my Bilt Rewards link to sign-up and support the show!

Jamie Howard is the filmmaker behind Chasing Silver, Running the Coast, Location X, Black Salmon, and Bass The Movie — and yesterday he sat down with me to talk about his new podcast Cameras Off, the Tarpon Diaries series he's launching inside it, and where the show is going next as it expands beyond fishing Jamie and I have been crossing paths for more than twenty years. He pulled me into Location X back when I was figuring out the film world, and he's still the kind of person who looks at the water like he's seeing it for the first time.

Do any of the luxury hotel booking platforms (like Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®) allow booking for others? If you are hotel chain agnostic, should you have a hotel credit card? We answered these questions and more on the Ask Us Anything hosted live on YouTube on May 6th, 2026.(00:16) - I have 14999 Delta Sky Miles and need one more lousy point to be able to book an award ticket. I can transfer 1000 points from Amex, but that seems like a waste. I tried to convince Delta support to comp me a point, but they were seemingly unable to help. Any suggestions (other than getting the Delta Amex card)? (04:03) - If you have complete flexibility to position to any airport in Europe to fly home to the USA, are flexible on arrival airport in the USA/Canada/Mexico, and time wasn't a constraint, but you would like a good points redemption in J (not first), where would you position to and which airline would you book on? (08:39) - ​If you are hotel chain agnostic, should you have a hotel credit card? (12:24) - Question on 5/24 if over, are there any data points on the United or Southwest business card? (14:38) - Should we now value Membership Rewards points higher than Chase Ultimate Rewards points? I'd rather have an American Express Platinum Card® than a Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card at this point. Would you guys disagree? (19:50) - Do any of the luxury hotel booking platforms (e.g., Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®, The Edit by Chase Travel℠, etc.) allow booking for others? (22:57) - ​At what cash back rate do you prefer cash over miles/points (excluding when you are working on a welcome offer)? (27:50) - Do you think we'll finally see an Ultimate Rewards Hyatt transfer bonus in the future? (30:15) - Question - Greg has mentioned a few times about being able to pay for the fees on British Airways with Avios, as a card benefit. I can't seem to see how to make that work. Any more details? (34:43) - ​For airlines that allow a stopover on an award flight, has your experience required a phone call reservation, or have you booked a stopover online? (37:03) - ​Can I apply corporate codes when booking hotels through Rove? Can Rove act like a shopping portal? Get corporate rates and Rove miles. (39:00) - ​​Is it possible to product change the old aviator if I've had it for less than a year now that it was product changed? I know banks frown upon this before the first annual fee posts. (40:58) - ​Barclays American Airlines card transferred to Citi. What would be the best course of action to get the welcome offer on the Citi American Airlines card now that I have one, but haven't previously gotten the welcome offer? (44:01) - ​​Does the FM team know if I make a reservation with the 25k Atmos Summit Companion certificate, and later cancel the reservation before the original expiry, if the certificate is returned and can be reused? (44:38) - ​Can I use Hyatt points for suite upgrades with cash booking through Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®? (45:49) - ​​​What's each team member's biggest regret in their points and miles journey?Mentioned in this episode:Visit FrequentMiler.com Did you know that Frequent Miller is also a website?
