| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 353 of AvTalk. I am Ian Petchnik, here as always with... |
| 0:16.0 | Jason Urbanowitz. Hello, Ian. How's it going on this Tuesday? What's happening? |
| 0:20.4 | It is Tuesday. Hello, Jason. It's it going on this Tuesday? What's happening? It is Tuesday. |
| 0:21.5 | Hello, Jason. It's a crazy week this week because you and I quote, will be on a plane when we normally record. |
| 0:30.2 | That's true. That is true. I will be on an airplane. Sometimes we talk about those, but I will be on an airplane all day. |
| 0:37.1 | Not going particularly far, just to London, but I will be on an airplane all day, not going particularly far, just to |
| 0:38.8 | London, but I love me some daytime transatlantic eastbound flights that it does unfortunately |
| 0:45.6 | take off the whole day. And I don't think I'll be up to recording the podcast at midnight when I |
| 0:50.7 | eventually get to my hotel in Heathrow. We've done that before. So I think it's better |
| 0:55.1 | that we're recording on Tuesday. And we've guaranteed ourselves late breaking news for tomorrow |

| 1:17.9 | timeline of announcements by a day, which was very nice of them, especially Delta, which we'll talk |
| 1:23.1 | about in a little bit. But hey, that's nice. Yeah, I love these daytime flights, but it is quite disruptive, |
| 1:29.4 | but I value that night of sleep. I will get back more so than this podcast. Sorry, everyone. |
| 1:36.8 | I'm telling everyone you said that. They would have no way to know otherwise. Well, we've got |
| 1:43.0 | a bunch of stuff to talk about because |
| 1:45.0 | many things actually have happened. And we'll get to all of the order and delivery wrap up for |
| 1:52.6 | 2025 for Boeing and Airbus, some news on the business front. But as far as rough flights go. So, Jason, your parents were coming back |
| 2:06.1 | from Europe recently, and you'd mentioned that they had gotten a little waylaid in London, |
| 2:13.0 | thanks to some, I guess, yeah, only about 30 hours late, no big deal. |
