On this episode of Avtoc, the A330 Neo sets off on a five continent adventure.

Aviation finds its way into the World Cup, and we find out we're overqualified for a seemingly important aviation job in the UK.

Hello and welcome to episode 34 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchenck here once again with Jason Urbinnewitz. Hello again. We are back for another episode and as always

Jason has gone somewhere over the past two weeks and is back to give us a, I think the standard is five second brief on where you've been and what you've done. So Jason take it away.

Well I went down to Atlanta to visit Delta. Can't fit this in five seconds, but I visited

their OCC, which is their operations and customer center I believe and the real part of the trip was to go check out their first triple 7 with the new Delta 1 suites and their premium economy and their

glorious still nine abreast economy seats. The whole thing was very nice.

That was the big news to come out of the official purpose of your trip was that, you know, the nine abreast is still nine abreast. But you also had an opportunity to talk with some of the meteorologists in the OCC.

Remember that whole hurricane thing?

I don't think I'll ever forget it.

Yeah, so it turns out Delta actually has 26 meteorologists on staff which is approximately 26 more than many or most airlines in the world have in-house and we were just you know talking about that from

I guess it's almost a year ago at this point how they were able to predict the

storm since they have since Puerto Rico is in fact a part of the United States.

They have next rad radar there and they could get really high resolution weather radar down there.

So they were accurately able to predict when they would be able to get in what the exact winds were, what the bands of the storm were, and they were very confident that they'd be able to get in, do their thing and get out, and all the rest is history is a little

line on a map.

Was this something that you brought up to them or were they like, hey, it's the hurricane guy.

I had brought it out back when we got to the tour of the OCC

with the meteorologist, I went, hey, let's talk

about that, the hurricane, you know the one.

And they were like, yeah, we do. I would not be surprised if there's, you know, like a picture printed out or something like that of the forecaster or something like that. I would be, you know, if I was a meteorologist in that particular situation, I would want to some sort of commemoration of that.

I don't know something tells me they all just kind of felt like it was their job that day.
