In Episode 244 of the Presentation Podcast, hosts Troy, Sandy, and Nolan use a real client slide as a case study to discuss when bullet points hurt rather than help a slide. Join the conversation as they explore how unnecessary bullets clutter slides, disrupt narrative flow, and actually reduce audience retention. Get into design alternatives, and if bullet points are needed in numbered lists, icon layouts, diagrams, timelines and visual hierarchies. Oh, and they also catch up on recent travels and share industry news!

Southwest Seat Assignments, Grief and Travel: Colorado Springs, Costa Rica, and a Points Trip to CancunTyler and Monique return to the Non-Rev Lounge after a delay and discuss recent travel and life updates. They recap a Colorado Springs trip for an Oscars party and Tyler's first experiences with Southwest's new seat assignments, including bulkhead storage frustrations, while also noting Southwest removed a policy allowing non-revs to sit in jump seats. Tyler shares a family emergency: Tawny's mother in California was hospitalized with critically low oxygen, placed in hospice, and died in early March; the family then continued a planned Costa Rica trip to visit Hayden's Spanish study-abroad host family, took an uncomfortable bus to Jacó, and did an unexpectedly strenuous rope-and-waterfall hike with no wildlife sightings. They describe return-travel complications (Dallas weight restriction, reroute through Miami, Global Entry/mobile passport shutdown), Tawny's Broadway trip to see Chicago, Tyler receiving United and Delta non-rev benefits from listeners, and a separate points-based Cancun trip via Oklahoma City with major Hyatt room upgrades and unexpectedly quiet resorts.00:00 Welcome Back Updates01:50 Colorado Oscar Party03:23 Southwest Seat Assignments08:01 Jumpseat Policy Changes10:51 Family Emergency Drive13:41 Racing to Costa Rica19:27 Hayden Study Abroad21:00 Bus Ride to Jaco25:17 Waterfall Hike Surprise32:01 Beach Day and Sunburn33:17 Manuel Antonio Wildlife Hopes35:00 Heading Back to San Jose36:40 Nonrev Chaos and Weight Limits40:58 Miami Customs and Gate Sprint42:00 Would You Go Again48:38 Grief Catching Up50:26 Surprise Delta Benefits57:48 Spring Break Travel Crunch58:40 Cancun Miles and Routing Mistake01:03:20 Flight Rule Confusion01:04:08 Revenue Standby Strategy01:06:10 Oklahoma City Overnight01:07:53 Kids Through Security01:10:47 Two Resorts Plan01:11:13 Globalist Suite Upgrade01:14:35 Dreams Resort Perks01:17:02 Empty Cancun Surprise01:19:08 Points Value Breakdown01:21:50 Name Drop Travel Hacks01:24:33 Busiest Cancun Routes01:26:36 Wrap Up And SponsorCheck out Route Explore from StaffTraveler https://route-explorer.com/StaffTraveler wants our feedback to help build Route Explore before it is officially released.

Send a text⚠️ Neuer Pilotenstreik bei Lufthansa! Am 12. und 13. März 2026 legt die Gewerkschaft Vereinigung Cockpit Teile des Flugbetriebs lahm. Doch Lufthansa reagiert mit einem Sonderflugplan, um möglichst viele Passagiere trotzdem ans Ziel zu bringen.Laut Lufthansa sollen über 50 % des gesamten Flugprogramms stattfinden – bei Langstrecken sogar rund 60 %. Möglich wird das durch größere Flugzeuge, Umverteilung von Flügen innerhalb des Konzerns und freiwillige Piloten im Einsatz.Die Gewerkschaft rechnet dennoch mit rund 300 Flugausfällen pro Streiktag – deutlich weniger als beim letzten Streik im Februar.

The lack of DHS funding is impacting the travel industry, as some airports are seeing hours-long security lines. If you are travelling soon (that means you, Spring Breakers!), check TSA wait times and plan accordingly. Global Entry has been suspended nationwide, and TSA PreCheck may not be available depending on staffing.

Host: Cindy Allen Show: Simply Trade – Cindy's Version Published: February 27, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center All Too Well: One Week Post-IEEPA, Still Not Fine at All One week after the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs, Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, delivers the latest update through the lens of Taylor Swift's “All Too Well.” She breaks down the lingering uncertainty—“I know it's long gone and the magic's not here no more… I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all”—and what importers, brokers, and service providers should do next amid shutdowns, pending bills, and shifting tariff authorities. What You'll Learn in This Episode Legislative landscape Three new bills introduced on IEEPA refunds: two support refunds for importers; one opposes and ties refunds to consumers (challenging in practice). Other pending bills (eliminating first sale, non‑resident importer status, new licensing program) are unlikely to move soon. IEEPA refund bills could gain traction if courts rule against refunds—watch for Congress to act. DHS shutdown impacts Ongoing due to budget issues; most CBP personnel are working without pay (be kind!). Trade interactions limited as “non‑essential”: canceled meetings, no new conference appearances. TSA PreCheck spared (shutdown threat revoked); Global Entry inactive due to staffing. CBP updates and waits Still awaiting Section 232 valuation guidance for steel/aluminum/copper derivatives—current CBP direction conflicts with executive order language. Trade associations have jointly requested clarity; no response yet. Administration signals New trade deals now using Section 122 authority instead of IEEPA. Acceleration planned for remaining 232 investigations and new 301 actions—structured processes with timelines, public input, and notice (no more Friday night surprises). Why “All Too Well”? Cindy ties the week to Taylor Swift's “All Too Well,” capturing trade's emotional whiplash: IEEPA is “long gone,” but the “magic” of predictability isn't back. Importers, attorneys, and consultants are swamped with “What now?” calls—Cindy's attended 5+ webinars with no clear answers. The trade isn't “fine”—we're in uncharted territory. The Big Questions: If, How, When on IEEPA Refunds IF refunds happen: Supreme Court remanded to lower court, likely landing at Court of International Trade (CIT). Prevailing view: no legal basis to withhold refunds, but scope (“which refunds?”) is unclear. HOW to get refunds: Two paths debated: 1581(i) (equitable jurisdiction—broad refunds for all) vs. 1581(a)(denied protests only). Post-summary corrections rejected by CBP—don't try now. FedEx filed CIT action to protect refund rights. Recommendation: talk to an attorney for tailored advice. WHEN to act: Government has 25 days for rehearing request (unlikely); ~7 days admin time; then CIT jurisdiction (~32 days total from Supreme Court). File protests now if entries liquidate soon to preserve rights (CIT may require it under 1581(a)). If no imminent liquidations, wait—process could take months or a year+. Pack patience; this is a long haul. Key Takeaways IEEPA tariffs are history, but uncertainty reigns—new authorities (Section 122, accelerated 232/301) fill the gap.

We take a look at the Lockheed Constellation with one of the last pilots to have flown the L-1649A Starliner Constellation. In the news, the ROTOR Act and an ADS-B In mandate, GAMA's annual Aircraft Shipment and Billing Report, the Government’s partial shutdown impact on the TSA, Government luxury jets, and a plan to market an Embraer aerial tanker. Also, an interview from the Singapore Airshow with a Product Development VP from Textron Aviation. Lockheed Starliner L-1649A flying in TWA colors. Guest Philip Kemp has been an Airline Transport Pilot for 17 years, and he has more than a little experience with the Lockheed Constellation. That connection came about in the 1980's after meeting Maurice Roundy, a Lockheed Constellation fan and collector of the airplane. Philip is one of the last pilots to have flown the L-1649A Starliner Constellation. Philip describes the development of the Lockheed Constellation and its variants, and how the airliner was obsoleted by jet transports. He tells us about his adventures ferrying Connies, the remaining examples that still exist, and the sale of Maurice's Constellations, including an ultimately unsuccessful attempt by Lufthansa to make one of the aircraft flightworthy. Philip explains that N8083H is now at the TWA Hotel at JFK after a cosmetic restoration, N974R is with Kermit Weeks also for a cosmetic restoration, and that N7316C was shipped to Hamburg for the 100th Lufthansa anniversary. Ferry flight from Sanford, Florida, to Kermit Weeks’ Fantasy of Flight. October 2001. Philip started his career with Continental Express, and then he flew Part 135 jet charter with Charter Ops for two years. He returned to the airlines with SkyWest, then back to Continental Express (ExpressJet). Philip spent nine years with North American Airlines flying troops all over the world, and his last six years were with JetBlue. He was the Manager of Crew Training at Waltzing Matilda Aviation/Connect Airlines, a new Part 121 airline, flying Dash 8 Q400's. Philip is now looking for a good teaching opportunity in the aviation world. N8083H L-1649A at the TWA Hotel, JFK. N7316C and N8083H next to Maurice Roundy's airport house. Maurice Roundy, the day before the last flight. Lockheed 749 Constellation versus the Lockheed 1649A Starliner Constellation. See Ralph M. Pettersen’s Constellation Survivors Website. Aviation News After DCA crash, Congress acts to mandate decades-old aircraft tracking tech Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is an aviation system that uses GPS to determine aircraft position and also provides other flight information. ADS-B has two functions: ADS-B In and ADS-B Out. ADS-B Out broadcasts position and other identifying information, and has been required for many aircraft in the U.S. since 2020. ADS-B In receives transmissions from other aircraft and from ground stations. The bi-partisan Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act (S.2503) would require ADS-B out aircraft to have ADS-B In to display information about nearby traffic in the cockpit. The ROTOR Act was unanimously passed by the Senate in December 2025, and at the time of recording, a vote in the House was scheduled. House to vote Monday on ROTOR Act following deadly midair collision After recording, the House voted on the bill, but it did not pass due to insufficient votes. Under the ROTOR Act: FAA must issue final rules for ADS‑B In equipage not later than 2 years after enactment, effective within 60 days of publication. The final rule has a fleet-wide compliance deadline of December 31, 2031, for affected aircraft, with at most a 1‑year extension for certain operators. FAA must start regular briefings and public reports on the rulemaking status within 180 days after enactment and then every 90 days. GAMA Reports Strong 2025 for OEMs The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) released its 2025 Aircraft Shipment and Billing Report: Airplane shipments in 2025 compared to 2024: Piston airplanes flat (+0.6%) Turboprops declined by 5.1% Business jets increased 11.8% with 854 units. The value of airplane deliveries for 2025 was $31.0 billion, an increase of 16.1%. Helicopter shipments in 2025 compared to 2024: Piston helicopters were down 2% Turbine helicopters down 2% (preliminary) The preliminary value of helicopter deliveries for 2025 was $4.7 billion, an increase of approximately 5.5%. Homeland security reverses course on TSA PreCheck suspension Citing staffing shortages caused by the partial government shutdown, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initially suspended the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs. Soon thereafter, DHS revised the directive in a social media post saying, “TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public. As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case-by-case basis and adjust operations accordingly.” Chris Sununu, president and CEO of the trade association Airlines for America, said in a statement that the group “is deeply concerned that TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs are being suspended and that the traveling public will be, once again, used as a political football amid another government shutdown”. Geoff Freeman, head of the US Travel Association, accused Democratic and Republican lawmakers of putting politics first. “Air travel is essential for our economy and daily life, and it's disgraceful for travel to be used as leverage in political disagreements,” he said in a statement. No Expense Has Been Spared’: Inside a Luxury Jet DHS Wants to Buy for Deportations DHS has been leasing a Boeing 737 Max 8 featuring bedrooms, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs, and a bar. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is asking the OMB to approve its purchase of the jet for $70 million. ICE says that it would be used for deportations and travel for Cabinet officials. A DHS spokesperson said, “at least one of the bedrooms is currently being converted for seating to prepare the aircraft to meet the demands of its deportation mission set.” In a statement, a DHS spokesperson said, “This plane flies at 40% cheaper than what the military aircraft flies for ICE deportation flights—saving the American taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars. This is part of Secretary Noem's broader efforts to clamp down on inefficiencies and save taxpayer dollars.” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Spends $200 Million of Taxpayer Money on Pair of Gulfstream G700 Private Jets During Government Shutdown House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and Homeland Security Subcommittee Ranking Member Lauren Underwood (IL-14) requested more information from the Secretary regarding the purchase, which does not align with earlier funding requests for the Department. Northrop, Brazil's Embraer partner on KC-390 to pitch US, others Under a memorandum of understanding, Embraer and Northrop Grumman are looking at adding an autonomous boom refueling system to the KC-390 Millennium, which currently employs a hose and drogue system. A new boom would enable the tanker to refuel U.S. Air Force aircraft. Singapore Airshow 2026 Brian Coleman brings us interviews from the Singapore Airshow.

The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 on Friday that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked sweeping tariffs using a 1970s emergency statute. The decision was a major blow to Trump's tariff policy, which is basically his entire economic agenda. But for Trump, it means just one thing: more tariffs! So to learn what's next for our terrible tariff trajectory, we spoke with David J. Lynch. He's the global economics correspondent at The Washington Post and the author of The World's Worst Bet: How the Globalization Gamble Went Wrong (And What Would Make It Right).And in headlines, the US and Iran prepare for high-stakes talks later this week, Global Entry becomes a casualty of the partial government shutdown, and a check-in on the President's approval ratings before his State of the Union address.Show Notes: Check out David's book – https://a.co/d/08oXFjqU Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Today's Headlines: On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Donald Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The dissenters: Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. Trump responded by blasting Justices Gorsuch and Barrett as “disloyal” and insisting he can “destroy trade” but not “charge a little fee.” He then proposed a global 10% tariff workaround — later bumped to 15%. Meanwhile, Americans are still effectively paying 9.1% in tariffs, and the Court didn't address what happens to the $133 billion already collected. Over the weekend, Trump announced he's sending a “great hospital boat” to Greenland, despite Denmark saying it wasn't informed and doesn't need it. The Navy ships in question are reportedly in Alabama. Sure. On the Russia beat, a Trump ally signed a natural gas deal with Russian energy giant Novatek despite U.S. sanctions tied to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine — the first known new U.S.–Russia venture of its kind. Separately, ICE and other agencies contracted with phone-forensics firm Oxygen Forensics, which has ties to sanctioned former FSB figures. At the same time, DHS has issued hundreds of subpoenas to tech companies seeking identifying information on users critical of ICE. Trump is also pressuring Netflix to remove Susan Rice from its board amid maneuvering around a media acquisition deal that could affect CNN. Casual. In Florida, Secret Service agents shot and killed a 21-year-old man who allegedly breached the perimeter of Mar-a-Lagowith what appeared to be a shotgun and fuel can; the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, Florida lawmakers approved renaming Palm Beach International Airport after Trump — a $5.5 million rebrand. And finally, taxpayers will now provide new Secret Service agents with two tailored suits upon graduation. Inflation hits us all differently.

This week, Scheana and Brock sit down with Heather Gay to unpack her powerful new docuseries Surviving Mormonism. Heather shares how the project came to life, how being a “Bad Mormon” has impacted her business and personal relationships, and the legal threats she's faced—even from within her own family. She and Brock compare their experiences growing up in the Church, from tithing while living below the poverty line to the pressure of securing a bishop's approval just to get into BYU (including why Brock's bishop refused). They dig into why so many former members describe the institution as fear-based and silencing, and they might have even cracked the code for why Mormons make such great reality TV stars! Plus, Scheana and Heather dive into the RHOSLC questions fans are dying to have answered: Will we ever get clarity on the infamous plane incident? Does Lisa Barlow actually have Global Entry? And now that Jen Shah is out of prison, is Heather open to reconnecting? Tune in for truth, humor, healing — and Heather at her most candid.

The captain of an A380 that experienced an uncontained engine failure, paying air traffic controllers during a shutdown, a $10,000 bonus for those who worked, NTSB preliminary report on UPS Flight 2976, a request for information on a new ATC system, dressing better when flying commercially, and going through airport security without a Real ID. Guest Richard De Crespigny was the captain of Qantas Flight QF32 on November 4, 2010, when one of the plane's Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines experienced an uncontained engine failure. The A380 had just taken off from Singapore. Richard and his crew managed to get everyone home safely, and the story has since become a bit of a legend in Australian flying circles. Richard is a former RAAF pilot, has written books, given keynotes around the world, and now hosts his own podcast on resilience and leadership called FLY! Richard explains that the uncontained engine failure on Qantas Flight QF32 involved the Number 2 engine. This resulted in extensive damage to the aircraft and many system failures. Five pilots were in the cockpit, and they formed a “hive mind,” making hundreds of decisions to stabilize the aircraft, which took two hours. A hundred checklists were actioned in the air, and more when the A380 was back on the ground. The incident was so complex that it has been characterized as “Apollo 13 with passengers.” We learn what was said in the cockpit during the first 30 seconds, and how the cabin crew performed because the flight deck could not communicate with them. In his mind, Richard set up to perform an “Armstrong Spiral” in case all four engines went out when landing the plane. On approach, speed and stall warnings were sounding constantly because the systems could not handle all the damage. Richard explains why he decided not to immediately evacuate the passengers due to the dangers outside. This uncontained engine failure crippled the A380, yet the crew was able to manage the situation and there were no injuries. Richard speaks frequently of “resilience” and how that characteristic worked to their advantage. QF32 uncontained engine failure. From the FAA Airbus A380-842 report, crediting the ATSB accident report. Since the incident, Richard has published several books: QF32 tells the story of what happened. It was published before the investigators made all the facts public, so Richard had to hold back. However, a new edition will fill in the missing pieces. The newer book Fly! tells the how and the why. Check out: The FLY! Podcast with Richard De Crespigny, available on Apple / Spotify / Omny, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Aviation News US airline group urges Congress to pay controllers during future shutdowns Trade group Airlines for America (A4A) wants to see air traffic controllers get paid during future government shutdowns. Chris Sununu, A4A President and CEO, said, “This shutdown has demonstrated the serious safety, human and economic consequences of subjecting the aviation sector to this kind of stress and chaos. It must never happen again.” Air Traffic Controllers Say $10,000 Shutdown Bonuses Are Tearing the Workforce Apart – And Jeopardize Safety The Administration wants to give air traffic controllers and TSA screeners $10,000 if they had perfect attendance during the shutdown. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said this would apply to 776 employees. Some controllers are expressing their displeasure with this move. UPS Flight 2976 Crash During Takeoff The NTSB has issued a Preliminary Report [PDF] on the UPS Flight 2967 MD-11F accident November 4, 2025. The airplane, N259UP, was destroyed after it impacted the ground shortly after takeoff from runway 17R at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), Louisville, Kentucky. The 3 crewmembers aboard the airplane and 11 people on the ground were fatally injured. There were 23 others on the ground who were injured. Still images from an airport surveillance video show the left engine and left pylon separation from the left wing. The left pylon aft mount's forward and aft lugs were both found fractured. The fractured and separated upper portions of the forward and aft lugs were found adjacent to runway 17R. The left wing clevis, aft mount spherical bearing, and aft mount attachment hardware were found with a portion of the left wing at the accident site. The spherical bearing outer race had fractured circumferentially. FAA Issues Request for Information on New ATC System The FAA aims to replace the current En Route Automation Modernization system (ERAM) and the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) with a single, unified system, known as the Common Automation Platform (CAP). The Agency's Request For Information [PDF] asks the public to answer a series of questions. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Urges Passengers To Dress Better — But That Won't Fix Today's Inflight Behavior Problems DOT Secretary Sean Duffy tweeted that “Manners don't stop at the gate. Be courteous to your fellow passengers. Say please and thank you to your flight crews. Dress with respect. Lend a hand to those who could use it. It’s time to bring back civility and respect when we travel.” See also: Sean Duffy Wants You To Get Dressed Up When You Fly: “It's Time to Bring Back Civility And Respect When We Travel” No Real ID or passport? The TSA may charge you $18 to go through security May 7, 2025, was the date that Real ID was enforced at TSA checkpoints. Travelers must produce a Real ID-compliant driver’s license, a passport, a Global Entry card, or other approved document. The TSA is now proposing that travelers without one of those approved documents can still pass through airport security checkpoints. However, they can expect to pay an $18 fee for additional screening. The TSA has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register: TSA Modernized Alternative Identity Verification User Fee. The fee grants access to secure airport areas for up to 10 days and covers multiple flights. Payment of the fee does not guarantee entry; travelers must successfully authenticate their identity each time, and they may still face additional screening or delays. The collected fee is intended to offset government costs for new biometric verification kiosks, customer service improvements, and system updates.
