Airline incidents and layoffs have made recent headlines. What does it mean for the industry?KJZZ 91.5
I had a chat with KJZZ in Phoenix about all the different things going on in the airline industry during this very busy year.

Appleton International Airport Director named ‘Best Airport Partner’ by online airline news outlet – WFRV Green Bay
It may not get coverage in the big cities, but when the head of air service in Appleton wins a Cranky Network Award as Best Airport Partner, it makes news! And to be fair, it is a big deal since this award is based on nominations from the airlines themselves.


This week’s episode of The Air Show is out, and Jon and Brian wanted to do a wrap-up on the Cranky Network Awards. They were both there and they had plenty of thoughts, so I was game for it. We talked about what makes a route sexy, the geekiness of the network planners, and Brian took issue with one of the winners. Listen in.

  1. Possible hot take: GRB should be closed and operations consolidated at ATW. It’s a great facility.

  2. Congrats. I’ve never flown through Appleton (only MKE & Green Bay; not from the area), but when the Cranky Network Awards post hit I went looking for news coverage on the Appleton award and was surprised that the local news in that area hadn’t picked it up.
