Thanks for your comments. See the results of the poll in the "Upgrade Update" posted October 20th.

I captured some audio from the Jet Blue emergency landing at LAX yesterday. Listen as the Captain discusses his options with maintenance and his dispatcher.

"When Things Go Wrong..." What happens when things go wrong, what we take away from those experiences, and what things we do as crew members to prepare for these kinds of situations . . . so things don't turn out so bad. Also introducing co-worker and now fellow podcaster Flight Attendant Betty (Check out her podcast, Betty in the Sky with a Suitcase, at betty.libsyn.com)

Re: The FCC is currently considering allowing passengers to use cell phones on aircraft. I've asked some flight attendants what they think, and I'll post their replies along with some of yours. ------------------------------------------ The results are in -- thank you all who have called in. I've received a lot of comments, and a lot of good points were made. I'm putting it all together for the next podcast due out ... when it's done. Joe

"Early Departures" ... how turmoil in the airline industry is affecting some of our pilots. Also featuring original music by the Dreadful Snake Guy (from Dreadful Snake Radio)

In this episode I have collected some stories that illustrate the unique relationship our flight attendants have with our passengers. You'll hear about some problem passengers, some friendly passengers, and some famous passengers. Oh, and more cockpit chatter over the Pacific

This podcast is archived here Cockpit radio chatter over the Pacific, crew member pranks, and more . . .

This podcast is archived here Hear from two pilots who are chasing their dreams in their free time, and a flight attendant who is trying to forget something she said on the job.

Yes, I think "Fly With Me" would be a good name for the podcast. I'll probably change it before the first official cast.

I'm off to fly a trip with microphone in hand . . . wish me luck. I hope to have something put together before the end of the month.
