As investigations into the legitimacy of Pakistani pilot licences continue, a simultaneously conducted internal audit report has found that its pilots are being overpaid, underproductive and spending far too much on luxurious hotels.
In this episode of the World of Aviation Podcast, host Adam Thorn and Christian “Boo” Boucousis discuss whether the “luxury pilot life” stereotype is founded in truth, the differences between flying for a low-cost or domestic carrier and a prestigious national airline, and the hierarchy in the cockpit for a major international carrier.
Adam and Boo delve into the endless saga of airbridges in Europe opening and closing at short notice, the fraught relationship between Boeing and Airbus, cracks being found in Rolls-Royce engines, and an upcoming battle between an AI-controlled fighter jet and a US Air Force pilot.
