    Love the podcast guys. It is the “horsing around” which keeps some of us coming back! It keeps it fun! Run them long and keep the blooper reels coming!

    Hi Max

    I think that the Ask the Geeks segment question came from the town of Naas which is west of Dublin.

    Your question from Alex – BA are under taking a huge pilot recruitment. They are looking to take on 800 pilots, so maybe a good time to get in touch with them

    Richard: Thanks for the BA recruitment video. They mention a website in the video, and one of the commenters provided: http://www.bafuturepilot.com/.

    TKO: Some listeners love the horsing around, others can’t stand it and unsubscribe. The fact is, either way we’re going to horse around sometimes. That’s just the way we are. The question is, how much stays in the final edit, how much goes into the outtakes, and what happens to the purely unpublishable stuff!

    Hey Geeks,

    Just wanted to chime in on the “When’s NextGen?” question… The FAA published Destination2025 recently, [1] which expects the complete package implemented in 2025, with a major waypoint set for 2018. If you’d like to see timelines of what’s expected, they also have the National Airspace System (NAS) Enterprise Architecture (EA). [2] There’s roadmaps for different aspects the NAS, and they are updated periodically.
