Hello and welcome to episode 167 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchenick here as always with

Jason Abinowitz. How are you, Ian? I'm well Jason, how are you?

I'm good. Good to hear that you're well. I'm excited. I'm good good to hear that you're well I'm excited I'm getting ready to travel I pulled out the suitcase

today I'm not flying till Saturday so I have no intention of packing it until probably Saturday morning.

You're getting a glance at it every now on.

But the suitcase is now in the house.

So there is that.

But yeah, no, I'm doing well.

I'm looking forward to.

I'm heading off to Sweden next week for the next week so that will be my

journey and heading over to the office to meet some folks that I have not yet met because while we've been hiring people circumstances gestures widely at the world

circumstances have kept many of us completely remote and apart so we're getting back into the swing of things, doing a little bit of traveling.

That'll be fun. And you're traveling as well, good sir.

I am. I have not even thought about packing yet, but I will be heading out to Hamburg Germany for the first aircraft interior expos since 2019.

Remember when we did like conferences and stuff every year?

I'm still getting the hang of all of the things that used to happen on a regular basis.

Yeah, weird. But yeah, I'm looking forward to that. I'm fine. I'm

I'm trying Iberia through Madrid on the way out and then B. A. through London on the way back

thankfully when getting home matters a little less than actually getting there.

Since it seems like Madrid is one of the few European airports that has it stuff together and doesn't have,

all fingers crossed, knock on wood, doesn't have any major operational issues right now.

Yeah, yeah, it's been rough. I'm not looking forward to returning a week from Saturday
