Join Carlos, Nev, Armando, Matt and Captain Jeff for this week's show. In today's episode everyone's favourite low cost airline boasts massive profits, a young pilot gains his PPL after only 4 months and incorrect parts are responsible for a Boeing 757 gear collapse. We talk to Jeff about the impact this world event is having on our favourite industry and whether we'll ever see flight numbers return to pre-virus levels. In the military an A10 makes an emergency belly landing at Moody Airforce Base and Boeing are being made to replace the sensor and camera system on the KC46 at their own expense.
