EP6 - Lunch in Tashkent, Passover with Steve, and listener Q&A

<p>This week’s episode opens with something a little different — a 12-minute, behind-the-scenes segment from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where you join us for lunch on a recent trip. It’s raw, cutting-room-floor footage from the upcoming <i>Cockpit Casual</i> series dropping this summer. Fair warning: this segment is definitely better experienced on video — you can watch it on our YouTube version — but it still holds up if you’re along for the ride on audio.</p><p></p><p>From there, Steve shares a bit about his Passover traditions before we get into a big industry topic — the latest (and not-so-great) changes to the United Airlines MileagePlus program.</p><p></p><p>This week’s <b>Side Schtick</b> turns into a fun one: if you could fly with any celebrity pilot, who’s in your cockpit? That conversation, naturally, takes a detour into the legendary Piper Aerostar.</p><p></p><p>We wrap things up with a solid listener Q&amp;A session — some great questions in this one.</p><p></p><p>And if you haven’t yet — check out this episode on YouTube for the full Tashkent segment as it was meant to be seen.</p>
