Dots, Lines & Destinations » Podcast show

Summary: <br> A quick getaway to Wuppertal was on the agenda this week. It vaguely worked, though none of the three hosts got to or fro exactly as planned.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The Schwebebahn hanging monorail is pretty cool, as is the <a href="https://wuppertaler-brauhaus.de/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wuppertaler Brauhaus</a>. But that part of the week plays second fiddle to some interesting news topics at hand, including:<br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="http://www.Delta.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Delta Air Lines</a> is growing at Miami, promising links to the <a href="https://www.latam.com/en_us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LATAM</a> network there. How much connecting flow can those flights support?* An Ethiopian 737 encountered a swarm of locusts trying to land and <a href="http://avherald.com/h?article=4d1de8cc&amp;opt=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the images are incredible</a>.* UK's FlyBE is still flying for now after the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-flybe-funding-idUSKBN1ZE0QJ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">British government agreed to certain bail-out conditions</a>. That the full details remain unclear is bad and both IAG and <a href="http://www.ryanair.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ryanair</a> aren't happy with the moves* United is bringing the CRJ550 to its DCA-EWR "Shuttle" route and that's both good and bad news in many ways<br> <br> <br> <br> And lots, lots more. Enjoy the show!<br> <br> <br> <br> *No portion of this episode was recorded in Wuppertal, even though that was the original plan. Oopsie<br>
