Cockpit Casual: The Podcast (EP 2)

Описание: Episode 2 dropped early on the RSS feed as Steve and Bob head back into the skies for another busy week of ferry flying.

We kick things off with a breakdown of the early stages of the Iran conflict and what it actually means for aviation. From airspace closures and NOTAMs to real-world routing decisions, we discuss how airlines, operators, and ferry crews navigate geopolitical hotspots — and how those decisions are made in real time from the cockpit and the operations desk.
Then, in classic Cockpit Casual fashion, the conversation takes a sharp turn.

This week’s Side Schtick dives into the strange and sometimes hilarious world of aviation influencers on Instagram — the good, the bad, and the algorithm-driven absurdity.

We wrap things up with an extended listener Q&A, answering your questions about aviation careers, ferry flying, aircraft systems, and life on the road as modern-day nomads moving airliners around the world.

If you’ve ever wondered how global politics intersects with real-world flight operations — or just want to listen in on two pilots talking shop — this episode covers a lot of ground.

Topics in this episode:
The Iran conflict and its impact on global aviation
How pilots and operators route around geopolitical risk
The reality behind aviation influencers on Instagram
Listener Q&A: careers, aircraft, ferry flying, and more
