Delta launched a basic first class following United, stripping out seat selection, upgrades, and same day changes while almost certainly charging you the same, and we explain why it is just a way to make you pay more for what you already got. The good news is United is putting a blocked empty middle seat with its own tray on its A321XLRs, a European style setup that saves them a flight attendant and that we would happily book over regular first, and Emirates is rolling out a folding UDream headrest that could finally make sleeping in economy possible. We also cover the partnership madlibs of the week, Hilton with Explora cruises, Japan Airlines with Marriott Bonvoy, and Air Canada Aeroplan with World of Hyatt, and what each is actually worth. We close with a genuinely useful one, Wyndham doubling its Caesars transfer limit to 60,000 points through September 11th, which is a great way to rescue points before Wyndham's brutal four year expiration hits. Let us know in the comments if a better headrest would get you to fly economy.

Is it safe to fly through Dubai right now? On 14 July, EASA, the regulator behind every European airline, told its operators to avoid the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE at all altitudes, until at least 29 July. Dubai International is open. Emirates is flying one of its busiest summers ever. Both of those things are true at the same time, and this episode explains how.   I read the actual conflict zone bulletin word for word, unpack the one word in it that should get your attention (misidentification, the MH17 and PS752 word), separate the three things people keep mashing together (the airspace, the airport, the airlines), and walk through the real routing choices from Johannesburg to Europe. Then I give you my honest answer: what I would do flying alone, and what I am doing differently when my wife and kids are next to me.   In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare explains the EASA conflict zone bulletin, Dubai airspace restrictions, Gulf airspace safety, whether Dubai airport is open, why Emirates is still flying, Dubai flight cancellations, and how to reroute from Johannesburg to Europe without the Gulf.   TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN   00:00 The EASA warning, read word for word   01:40 Misidentification: the word that scares pilots   02:48 Why now: the 72 hours before the bulletin   03:15 Airspace, airport, airlines: three different things   04:20 Do you even need the Gulf?   04:31 Joburg to Europe: every routing option   05:24 Why airlines are reacting so differently   06:33 What avoiding the Gulf actually costs you   07:17 Flying solo vs flying with your family   09:18 The takeaway: two risk models   I'm Bryan Roseveare. Fourteen years an airline pilot, now a simulator instructor. I train the pilots flying you around.   SUPPORT THE SHOW   Bryan Air → https://bryanairpodcast.com/   Support on Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/bryanair

The latest phase of the conflict between the US and Iran enters its seventh consecutive day as Iran launches new missile and drone attacks across the Gulf, while the US carries out another round of strikes on Iranian military targets. Tehran also says no oil or gas will be exported through the Strait of Hormuz for as long as the attacks continue. India suspends the deployment of its seafarers through the Strait of Hormuz after deadly attacks on commercial shipping, with injured sailors from two UAE-operated tankers continuing to receive treatment in the Emirates. Iraq warns it could lose enough electricity to power at least one million homes after Dana Gas suspends operations at the Khor Mor gasfield because of security threats. We also examine the latest US-backed negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, where military talks are expected to continue before proposed security zones in southern Lebanon can move forward. Elsewhere, rising gang violence in northern Sudan highlights growing security concerns as the country's civil war continues.

In ep 182 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Charlie Keeffe joins Sam and Mark to talk about maintaining a sense of engagement without going too flat in an audiobook... finding the line of entertaining - but not too entertaining! We explore how to fit into a younger mindset, and how to differentiate between a CBBC audience and a CBeebies audience. We look at working a little harder when the script is dry, and how to create a cliffhanger without over-emphasising it. Our fun facts are about sports and fingers and our wildcards embrace scarecrows, politicians and superfans!Our VO question this week is all about how new voice actors make the mindset shift to promoting themselves.Get involved!

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1To transform his invention into a commercial enterprise, Gutenberg needed something every great innovator eventually requires: money.He turned to a wealthy local financier Johann Fust, borrowing heavily to fund the production of his printing press and expand operations. By 1455, Gutenberg's press had already produced a series of printed documents and, most remarkably, a magnificent Latin Bible—an achievement that would forever change the spread of knowledge.But just as Gutenberg stood on the brink of success, disaster struck.Script 2By the time he got to his desk the following morning, Stirling's abdomen still felt like he'd done a hundred crunches, and he groaned at the pain as he sat down. He didn't intend to get up soon and feel that again. He spent half an hour going through the paperwork in his desk, signing off on things and putting papers in their proper piles for filing. Each time he bent his stomach even a little, it reminded him of the cramped muscles there. He picked up the phone and started looking through his notebook for his doctor's number.

Episode 383 is een special over regeringsvliegtuigen, omdat Nederland een nieuwe gaat kopen. Er is voor het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat maar 1 optie: een Airbus, omdat KLM haar Boeing-toestellen de deur uit gooit: ze vliegen vanaf 2029 alleen nog maar met Airbus. Bekijk de video van deze episode op YouTube: https://youtu.be/25P7nb_1hqM Te gast is Yteke de Jong, luchtvaartverslaggever van De Telegraaf. Zij weet als geen ander dat een nieuw regeringstoestel een dure hobby is. En het wekt ook veel emotie op. En de minister maakt van alles een staatsgeheim. TUI en Corendon willen niet dat er een nieuwe komt en bieden aan om de huidige Boeing BBJ in hun vloot op te nemen. Maar de keuze is al gemaakt. De rol van de Vakantiekoning. Genoeg te bespreken en we duiken ook in de luchtvaart-histeurie: terug in de tijd met alle Nederlandse regeringsvliegtuigen.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, hostilities across the Gulf escalate again after Iranian missiles strike two UAE supertankers in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one sailor and injuring eight. The attacks follow a third consecutive night of US strikes on Iran, while President Donald Trump proposes a 20 per cent transit charge for vessels using the strait under US protection. We look at the wider impact on travel, as the UK updates its advice for visitors to the UAE, while airports across the Emirates continue operating with only limited disruption despite the latest military escalation. In Yemen, Saudi Arabia comes under renewed attack from Houthi rebels, with ballistic missiles intercepted after explosions at Sanaa International Airport, prompting UN calls to avoid a return to full-scale conflict. Lebanese and Israeli delegations are also due to meet in Rome for the latest round of US-backed negotiations, with the future of southern Lebanon and Israel's proposed withdrawal from pilot zones at the centre of discussions. And the European Union launches an €883.6 million ($1,000) recovery initiative for Gaza, bringing together 15 international partners to restore essential services and support reconstruction as the Palestinian Authority presses ahead with governance reforms.

With Arsenal preparing to defend their Premier League title, The NN Pod continues its 2026/27 season preview series by asking what now constitutes a successful season for Mikel Arteta's side — and whether winning the Champions League has become the club's final frontier.The hosts discuss expectations for Arsenal's playing style, the challenges posed by a shortened pre-season and the impact of the World Cup on several key players. With Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and others facing demanding workloads, the conversation turns to player management, squad depth and whether Arsenal can protect their biggest stars while remaining competitive from the opening weeks of the season.Attention then shifts to the opportunities available during pre-season, the upcoming friendly schedule and the Community Shield, before a discussion about Cesc Fàbregas and his return to the Emirates with Como develops into a wider debate about his Arsenal legacy — and whether there could ever be a place for him in the dugout.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:55) - What Does a Successful Season Look Like for Arsenal?(02:22) - Is the Champions League Now the Last Frontier?(04:11) - Can Arsenal Evolve Their Playing Style?(05:49) - Will Every Game Be a Cup Final for the Champions?(09:27) - Does Arsenal Need Respect From Rival Fans?(12:05) - Will a Short Pre-Season Hamper Arsenal?(14:49) - Eight Arsenal Players Remain at the World Cup(15:47) - Which Players Could Seize Their Pre-Season Opportunity?(18:26) - Protecting Declan Rice From Himself(20:57) - Managing Saka, Rice & Saliba's Workloads(23:29) - Do Footballers Get Enough Time to Recover?(25:29) - Should International Teams Protect Arsenal's Players?(28:55) - Has the World Cup Helped Martin Ødegaard?(32:27) - Arsenal's Community Shield Selection Dilemma(34:48) - Will Arteta Show More Maturity With Player Management?(36:28) - Arsenal's Pre-Season Fixtures & Games to Watch(39:29) - Cesc Fàbregas Returns to the Emirates(40:48) - The Great Cesc Fàbregas Arsenal Debate(45:35) - Outro & Looking Ahead

In ep 181 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Karim Kronfli joins Sam and Mark to talk about getting to grips with a summer advertorial that's full of alliteration, with no time constraint. We have to be playful without going over the top. It's all about a script being "knowing" and as a voice actor having to give a nod and a wink to your audience. We also have an amazing dramatic piece between a man who's been in jail and his estranged daughter.

No one else.Like the no one else sitting across from me who got themselves thrown out on the street.

Tijdens de Tour de France 2026 maken wij iedere dag een podcast. In vijftien minuten praten we je bij over wat je echt moet weten voor de volgende etappe. Vandaag nemen we uitgebreid de aandacht om de bijzondere ritzege van Olav Kooij te duiden en kijken we alvast vooruit naar de Tourmalet-rit van donderdag, waar UAE Emirates XRG vastbesloten is om de sloophamer weer boven te halen.WINACTIEMaak deze Tour kans op een exclusieve Wielerwijn Tour-box (t.w.v. €119)Debutant en meteen de eerste sprintrit winnen die er is. Kooij levert meteen waar voor zijn geld en bewijst vooral zichzelf een dienst. Lang waren er bij Decathlon CMA CGM twijfels om hem mee te nemen, nadat het Jachtluipaard van Numansdorp lang af te rekenen kreeg met een virus. In de koersen die hij vooraf reed, bewees hij wel meteen zijn waarde. Dat hij nu in de Tour direct zijn gram haalt, zal de jongeling goed doen. Mooi was ook het moment waarop Paul Seixas hem feliciteert met zijn ritzege. De druk is eraf.Uiteraard blikken we in deze aflevering ook vooruit naar de rit van donderdag. Dan staat de eerste en meteen ook enige Pyreneeënrit op het programma. Tim Wellens kondigde eerder deze week al aan dat UAE Emirates in de eerste week vol voor één etappe gaat, maar dat ze daarvoor al twee keer hadden gewonnen. Mannen als Seixas en uiteraard ook Jonas Vingegaard en Remco Evenepoel moeten zich weren, want UAE Emirates XRG gaat hen weer bij de keel pakken en proberen deze dicht te knijpen. Mis niets!

Have you ever transferred miles into a program and then realized you only ever use it to book the same handful of flights everyone else does?   Air Canada Aeroplan might be the most useful airline program that US travelers consistently overlook, and after this conversation I think you'll see why so many experienced points and miles enthusiasts treat it as a core part of their strategy. Today I'm talking with Anshul Singh of Points, Miles, and Bling, who has spent years inside the Aeroplan ecosystem and has used it to book everything from business class to Europe to trips most people never imagine points can unlock.   Anshul and I get into why Aeroplan hits a rare balance between being easy to use and deep enough to reward the people who dig in, and why its network of close to 50 airline partners is where the real opportunity lives. Listen as we talk about the overlooked partner bookings most travelers walk right past, like Brussels Airlines business class out of Washington Dulles and Emirates and Air Mauritius routes you would never expect through a Star Alliance program, how Aeroplan's stopover rules let you build a single ticket that visits more than one place, and the Hotel Savers chart that points airline miles at high-end hotels like Six Senses and Fairmont.    We also cover the smart way to think about buying Aeroplan points around a promotion, and my favorite part of the whole conversation, how the same program that flies you to Europe can take you to see polar bears in Churchill, the northern lights over the Canadian Arctic, and whale pods up and down both coasts. Whether you're brand new to Aeroplan or you've transferred miles into it before and never looked past the obvious flights, this episode will change how you see the whole program.   Get full show notes and transcript: https://pointmetofirstclass.com/air-canada-aeroplan-strategy    Eager to learn the secrets of award travel so that you can turn your expenses into unforgettable experiences?

EPISODE SNAPSHOT   Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. From 1 July, every traveler in and out of South Africa must file an online SARS declaration inside a 24-hour window before departure. Children included, and multi-stop itineraries make the timing even messier. With visas already strangling inbound business travel, Bryan asks the question nobody in government seems to be asking: why add another barrier at the border? Then IATA's May numbers show the world flying less for a second straight month while African carriers grow fastest with the emptiest cabins, and Emirates launches a geo-targeted recruitment drive aimed squarely at South African pilots. Necessary admin or self-inflicted damage? You decide. In this solo episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare breaks down South Africa's new SARS travel declaration, IATA's May air traffic results, and aviation careers opening up at Emirates, Riyadh Air, and Air Europa.   TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN   00:00 This week's headlines: SARS declarations and IATA's May numbers 00:56 South Africa's new SARS travel declaration explained 01:24 Why one more barrier to travel is the wrong move right now 04:35 Inside the form: the 24-hour window, multi-stop catches, and kids 07:45 IATA May traffic: global demand down 2.2%, Africa fastest-growing at 6.6% 11:32 Pilot hiring signals: the recovery is starting to show 14:00 Emirates: 56 weekly SA flights and a targeted hunt for South African pilots 17:14 Air Europa lands in Joburg and Riyadh Air opens three new routes 20:04 Air Peace takes its first E175 and why Nigeria matters to African aviation 21:22 Wrap up plus a new All-Weather Operations Simulator coming next week   JOIN THE BRYAN AIR COMMUNITY Bryan Air is a career intelligence ecosystem for pilots.

In ep 180 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Paul Cartwright joins Sam and Mark to talk about trusting your senses as a VA to do the work in a script without actively trying to do the work. We explore a commercial script using Paul's theory of pulling back on the crafting and being less voiceovery and less polished to make a real connection with the audience.As an artist, your body is naturally going to add pitch and depth and resonance and highs and lows... so what Paul shows us is comparable to the difference between stage acting and film acting - and it can be a rough uncomfortable ride.We also look at how to create a story arc for a famous tale re-told, but telling it in an authentic way, and our wildcards include Jack's giant, an old lady and a nervous best man delivering a speech.Get involved!

Jack's father disappeared when he was a child, and all Jack could remember of him was the joy of his laughter and the tenderness of his voice:But for Jack and his widowed mother, things were what they were: they were poor, and their farm was failing.But Jack wasn't worried.

Pete, Jacob and Matt. The script gets thrown out the window early when an insider account drops a midfielder update mid-recording. Buckle up Here's what's inside:

El Real Madrid y Adidas seguirán unidos hasta 2034. El club blanco ha renovado su contrato con la marca alemana, ampliando una relación que comenzó en 1980 y que superará los 50 años de historia. Aunque las cifras del nuevo acuerdo no se han hecho oficiales, el contrato actual está valorado en unos 125 millones de euros por temporada, lo que convierte esta alianza en una de las más importantes del deporte mundial. La renovación llega poco después de que el Real Madrid anunciara la continuidad de Emirates como patrocinador principal hasta 2031. Junto con HP, estos acuerdos generan alrededor de 220 millones de euros anuales, reforzando la estabilidad financiera de la entidad presidida por Florentino Pérez. El merchandising, una fuente clave de ingresos Más allá del patrocinio, Adidas se beneficia de vestir a uno de los clubes con mayor impacto global. Cada lanzamiento de una nueva equipación se convierte en un éxito de ventas entre millones de aficionados. La llegada de Kylian Mbappé en 2024 impulsó de forma notable la comercialización de productos oficiales. Sin embargo, el club también ha experimentado una desaceleración. Durante el primer semestre de la temporada, las ventas de merchandising descendieron un 22 %, hasta los 56,7 millones de euros. El Real Madrid atribuye esta caída a la ausencia de grandes fichajes y al efecto extraordinario que supusieron la incorporación de Mbappé y la conquista de la última Champions League. El Bernabéu impulsa el crecimiento Los acuerdos de larga duración permiten al Real Madrid planificar inversiones con mayor seguridad. En este contexto, el renovado Santiago Bernabéu también se ha convertido en un motor económico. La experiencia inmersiva del estadio generó cerca de 28 millones de euros en seis meses, consolidando una nueva vía de ingresos. Con la renovación de Adidas, el Real Madrid refuerza su posición como una de las marcas deportivas más valiosas del mundo y garantiza una sólida base financiera para afrontar los próximos años.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, UN-backed efforts to evacuate stranded seafarers through the Strait of Hormuz are suspended after an attack on a vessel in the Gulf of Oman. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warns that ships must use routes designated by Tehran as efforts continue to restore safe navigation through the vital waterway. We also look at why Gulf states are not expected to begin reconciliation talks with Iran any time soon. Diplomats tell The National that rebuilding trust after the conflict will take time, despite US efforts to reassure regional allies. Lebanon and Israel extend their latest round of US-mediated negotiations, but significant disagreements remain over Israeli troop withdrawals, proposed pilot zones and future security arrangements in southern Lebanon.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio begins a Gulf tour with meetings in the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain as Washington seeks regional backing for negotiations on a permanent agreement with Iran. Rubio says Gulf partners will help shape the next phase of talks and insists Iran will not be allowed to impose tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also says it has secured the release of $12 billion in frozen assets under the interim agreement with the US, although Washington has yet to confirm the claim. The announcement comes as a temporary sanctions waiver allows Tehran to resume oil exports while negotiations continue. We also look at the latest US-mediated talks between Lebanon and Israel, where major disagreements remain over Hezbollah, Israeli troop withdrawals and the future of southern Lebanon. In aviation, Emirates begins urgent inspections of part of its Airbus A380 fleet after European regulators order checks following the discovery of cracks in key wing structures. And Etihad Rail prepares to launch its first passenger service between Abu Dhabi and Fujairah next week, with opening-day tickets selling out quickly ahead of a major milestone for the UAE's national rail network.

//The Wire//2300Z June 10, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR REIGNITES IN IRAN AS MUTUAL TARGETING CONTINUES AROUND THE REGION. PRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALS ALLEGEDLY SECRET OPERATION IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. RIOTS AND UNREST REMAIN CONSTANT IN NORTHERN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war has continued to escalate as all sides remain engaged in active targeting operations throughout the region. After the reported shootdown of the American helicopter, the United States conducted 10-12x strikes throughout Iran in retaliation. Similarly, the Iranians attacked Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain again, striking airfields that are being used by American aircraft to conduct the war. This afternoon President Trump stated that American bombing will continue, and bombing sorties have already resumed with targets reportedly being struck once again throughout Iran.Northern Ireland: Unrest continued throughout Belfast throughout the night, with most of the more kinetic phases of the evening focusing around arson attacks on migrant housing projects throughout the city. Several dozen different sites and residential structures were burned down, and throughout the afternoon the riots have continued around the city.Analyst Comment: According to local reports, nobody was killed or stabbed during the night, so as of this morning at least, the "Chicago Way" has not been relied upon for conflict resolution throughout the city just yet. All things considered, the city has probably gotten off lightly so far considering the gravity and circumstances of the case that started all of this. However, as of this report, the second night of rioting has begun, and unrest looks to be in the forecast for the next few days.-HomeFront-Texas: Local dissent continues to grow in the wake of the Karmelo Anthony verdict, as Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison yesterday afternoon. So far only low-level unrest has been observed, however some BLM protests have remained persistent outside the Collin County courthouse, which have involved assaults and incidents between groups of protesters.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This afternoon, President Trump revealed what is alleged to be a secret campaign to get more oil out of the Persian Gulf. This plan, the exact details of which remain very unclear, allegedly has resulted in hundreds of ships transiting the Strait, along with 100 million barrels of oil since the start of the operation. It's not immediately clear as to if this operation is still ongoing or not, but speculating a bit, this master plan appears to involve the US Navy attempting to conduct a grand shell game using a variety of electronic trickery, so as to sneak some vessels out of the Strait. Once in the Gulf of Oman, Ship-to-Ship transfers of oil are conducted, and the same ships run back through the Strait to pick up another load of oil. This has been suspected for some time as it's not exactly easy to hide a massive tanker vessel.In President Trump's social media post disclosing the operation, this "200 ship" claim needs more clarification because so far the numbers don't add up. This figure could be a total number of ships and not specifically oil tankers...small regional fishing boats are probably included in this figure. Even so, using his own numbers, the US has allegedly moved 100 million barrels of oil since May, during this secret operation. The average Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) carries about 2 million barrels of crude oil, so this would be equivalent to 50x trips...over a period of at least a month.Before the war, about 20 million barrels of oil transited the Strait every day. Since the war started, this flow has been effectively cut off. The Saudi's have helped supplement the situation with their East-West Petroline system which runs overland, with a capacity of 7 million bbl/d. Similarly, the Emirates have tried sneaking oil out through Omani terminals on the Gulf of Oman side of the Strait (which is why Iran has been striking Oman semi-regularly since the start of the war).Since deception has been disclosed and confirmed in this case, honesty is not a part of this equation. It is possible that this "secret" operation was more effective than at first glance. However, since it's unwise to tell the world about a secret military operation that is currently ongoing, it's also possible that it was less effective than stated, and thus has been concluded much like Project Freedom initially was. The latter option is the most likely based on the little information that we have, because the claim of 100 million barrels of secret oil only amounts to about five days worth of crude due to the US consuming about 21 million bbl/d in the summertime (from all sources, including domestic production). Credit must be granted where credit is due, and this alleged operation is at least an attempt for the White House to fix the energy crisis that it started, which is a step in the right direction. However in this case the grand question remains as to whether or not it was worth it. Civilian mariners putting their lives at risk while drone boats guide them through a minefield, for so little oil that the world did not even notice...might be a rather suboptimal arrangement on the strategic level.As a result, if this deception campaign was working to alleviate some pressure on the global oil crisis, nobody seems to have told the Department of Energy because the United States has continued to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at record rates. All total, the US has released around 172 million barrels from the SPR since the war began, most of which was sold for export as most US domestic refinement is heavily reliant on crude from the Middle East. If the US did indeed succeed in a total of 100 million barrels exiting the Strait...it did not just disappear, it had to go somewhere and somebody had to account for it over the past few months. Ships carrying oil don't just vanish into thin air, and there is undoubtedly a paper trail leading to the truth. Consequently, it's possible that the truth is being bent quite heavily and the numbers don't add up. Taking all of this at face value however, even with clever tricks, the Saudi's backup pipeline, US refinement booming, and draining our strategic reserves, basic arithmetic indicates that this is not enough to halt the energy crisis from getting more serious with each passing day.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. SAA just made a move that should put every South African pilot on alert. The airline has applied to have pilots, cabin crew, and key operational staff declared an essential service, and if it lands, your constitutional right to strike goes with it. Because the Labour Relations Act regulates the function and not the company, a ruling in SAA's favour would not stop at SAA. It would reach across the whole industry and bind every airline whose crews do the same job. We break down whether the bid actually has legs, why the legal threshold is narrower than SAA hopes, and what it really signals about the pressure building behind the scenes. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock break down SAA's essential services bid and what it means for pilot strike rights, the launch of Riyadh Air, Qatar and Emirates strategy in a disrupted Middle East, a fake Air Canada captain, and the latest South African Airways aviation news.

The NN Pod begins its end-of-season player review series as Gavin returns to the show following Arsenal's Premier League title celebrations and a football-filled trip across England, Scotland and Europe. From the atmosphere around the Emirates on trophy-lift day to watching the Champions League Final in Amsterdam, the hosts reflect on a memorable few weeks before turning their attention to the squad review.  Part One focuses on the foundation of Arsenal's title-winning side. The panel grades the goalkeepers, defenders and deeper midfielders, discussing the seasons of David Raya, Jurriën Timber, Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Piero Hincapié and Riccardo Calafiori.  The conversation then moves into midfield, where Declan Rice, Martín Zubimendi, Christian Nørgaard and Myles Lewis-Skelly come under the microscope. The hosts debate Player of the Season contenders, discuss the impact of injuries and availability, and consider which players exceeded expectations during Arsenal's championship campaign.  With grades ranging from A* to F, there are disagreements, surprises and plenty of discussion around the players who helped Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy. Part Two, covering the attacking players, follows next week.  The grades are in. The debates begin.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - End of Season Review Series Introduction(01:22) - Gavin's Arsenal Trophy Lift Travel Diary(08:02) - Elliot's Emirates Trophy Celebration Experience(13:18) - Champions League Final Reflections(19:18) - Player Review Format & Grading Criteria(19:29) - David Raya(21:57) - Kepa Arrizabalaga(23:58) - Tommy Setford (Mention)(24:18) - Jurriën Timber(25:55) - Ben White(28:06) - Cristhian Mosquera(30:20) - William Saliba(32:00) - Gabriel Magalhães(33:30) - Piero Hincapié(35:10) - Riccardo Calafiori(37:33) - Declan Rice(40:23) - Martín Zubimendi(44:26) - Christian Nørgaard(46:30) - Myles Lewis-Skelly(50:36) - Looking Ahead To Part Two & Outro

EPISODE SNAPSHOT   Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. This week is a tale of two stories, and if you are a South African pilot sitting in a Gulf hold pool you have to decide which one is true. Story one is the barrel: Iran put drones into Kuwait International days after it reopened, EASA still says do not overfly Iran, Iraq or Lebanon, and BA has pulled most of the Middle East until October. Story two is the window: the UAE has declared its airspace normal, Emirates is back to three quarters of its flying, Qatar rebuilds past 150 destinations from 16 June, and the recruitment roadshows are still running. We get into why your start date keeps slipping, why you should not resign before you have a firm date, and where the work is right now if you are stuck waiting. So which is it, the barrel or the window? In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock break down the Gulf hiring delays hitting South African pilots, the Middle East recovery timeline carrier by carrier, and the hidden contract and charter opportunities back home.   TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Tale of two stories: barrel or window 01:55 The uncertainty pilots are actually living with 04:33 Roadshows still running and what that signals 08:14 Why your Gulf start date keeps slipping 09:33 Do not resign before you have a firm date 11:39 International market update and European Air Cargo collapse 12:26 The hidden contract jobs nobody talks about 17:19 Charter flying: the reality check at this stage of a career 20:35 Aviation news roundup begins 22:42 Middle East flight updates and the Kuwait strike 23:11 Champions League and the Emirates versus Qatar shirt war 24:27 World Cup SuperBrew plans 25:03 Bafana visa chaos at the airport 27:14 China stalls Airbus to clear the runway for COMAC 28:16 Qantas Project Sunrise takes its first test flight 29:04 Pilot shoutouts and fresh hires 30:35 Air Europa launches Madrid to Johannesburg 31:28 Captains Announcement: the wearable AI surveillance threat 37:24 F1 leaderboard and signoff   JOIN THE BRYAN AIR COMMUNITY Bryan Air is a career intelligence ecosystem for pilots.

We speak with the founder and CEO of Points Path, which helps travelers get the most up-to-date pricing from both Google and airlines. Guest Julian Kheel is the founder and CEO of Points Path, a browser extension that helps you make informed travel purchases. Points Path performs the same flight search with Google Flights for each of its covered airlines, but requests prices in points or miles rather than cash. The results are then combined with Google's results, so you see the most up-to-date pricing available from both Google and the airlines themselves. In the free extension, Points Path offers award pricing for the frequent flyer programs of Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, and United. Paid Pro tier and Founders Club members also get access to Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air France/KLM, Avianca, Emirates, Etihad, Qantas, Qatar, TAP Air Portugal, Virgin Atlantic, and Virgin Australia. All tiers include domestic and international flights on the airlines themselves, as well as flights with partner airlines. The free version of the Points Path extension includes real-time, true round-trip points pricing for US domestic airline programs, as well as bank transfer programs for those airlines, indicators when a transfer bonus is in effect, and deal recommendation arrows. Points Path Pro is a paid upgrade that adds more airlines, price-tracking alerts, a 7-day points calendar, and other features. Julian has extensive industry knowledge. He was previously Editorial Director of The Points Guy, as well as CNN's Senior Editor covering travel and credit card rewards, and also worked as a consultant for the “Big 3” airlines. He has appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box, Bloomberg Surveillance, and other TV programs to discuss frequent-flyer miles and has been quoted on travel rewards in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and many other national publications. Julian was kind enough to offer Airplane Geeks listeners a discount code for the Pro version. Use airplanegeeks15 at checkout.

//The Wire//2300Z May 20, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: POTENTIAL FOR WAR TO RESUME IN MIDDLE EAST REMAINS ELEVATED. VIOLENT ATTACKS, STREET TAKEOVERS, AND MOB ACTIVITY REMAINS PARAMOUNT IN UNITED STATES. U.S. TENSIONS WITH CUBA CONTINUE TO ESCALATE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: This morning CENTCOM announced the boarding and seizure of the M/T CELESTIAL SEA in the Gulf of Oman. This vessel was attempting to run the American blockade to onload cargo within Iran.Analyst Comment: Otherwise the grand question of further military action remains. Regional aversion to a resumption of the conflict is understandably high, however military measures to prepare for a resumption of the war are ongoing. Both the Iranians and the United States have conducted substantial resupply and rearming campaigns during the ceasefire, and the Israelis have reached a point of semi-stability regarding their ground invasion of Lebanon. The Emirates and Saudis have likewise been the main belligerents actually conducting targeting efforts during the ceasefire, so they're also ready to go at a moment's notice. All diplomacy has failed so far, and all drafts of any sort of peace settlement provided indicate that all parties are probably further from a peace agreement right now, than when the war first began. All things considered, nothing might happen, or the war might kick off again soon, with President Trump himself indicating that the war might begin again this weekend.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon, the DoJ announced the indictment of Raul Castro on charges of conspiring to kill Americans, which is linked to the downing of two American planes in 1996.Analyst Comment: American aspirations for control of Cuba have become increasingly more serious over the past few weeks, with various tactics being used to apply pressure on the Cuban government. Of note, Castro is not physically located in the United States...he's in Cuba. As a result, this indictment could be laying the groundwork for a Maduro-style operation to snatch him, while simultaneously expanding the American foothold on the island.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Around the nation, various instances of civil crime and unrest have resulted in localized states of chaos in various locations. Street takeovers have become common in most major cities, and mass fights/mobs/riots have become a routine threat as well. In Rhode Island, a mass fight resulted in 3x people being stabbed at Narragansett Town Beach. The same day, a riot of 400-500 people was dispersed by police in Rochester, NY after a meetup turned into a mass fight in Ontario Beach Park. In Washington D.C. local authorities are still seeking information on the suspects who caused a mob attack at the Navy Yard Chipotle over the weekend. In Long Branch, New Jersey a mass riot broke out after mobs began attacking cars in Pier Village. This devolved into a full-blown riot, with a state of emergency being declared, a curfew being implemented, and riot police dispersing the crowds.In all of these cases, there was no reason for the unrest and destruction...this is just now routine behavior in many cities. As summertime arrives, the standard and routine behavioral/cultural considerations which make all major US cities very low-trust environments get dialed up to eleven, and street takeovers and flash mobs are very likely. From a threat assessment perspective, these types of incidents strike without cause or much warning, and take place purely due to the degradation of societal norms of accountability. As a result, there is no "trigger" to watch out for, and the only indicator of impending violence is the gathering of large crowds of people who are likely to engage in such behavior. Most of these riots are conducted purely for the enjoyment of violence, and consequently there's not much that can be done to mitigate these types of incidents, with the exception of avoiding large crowds which are likely to devolve into chaos. These riots are occurring during the middle of the day, on a weekday. And with Memorial Day weekend coming up in a few days, the potential for civil unrest is high.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//
