On this episode of Ab Talk, we welcome back Andrew Poor, who fills us in on the hot new cargo route from

Colombo to Columbus and what he learned in flight dispatcher school. We also learned what a pickle fork is and why you don't want cracks in yours.

Plus, the latest updates on the 737 Max's Return to Service and Stinky Fruit

leads to an emergency landing. Hello and welcome to episode 68 of AvToc. I am E.m. Petchnick here as always with

Jason Ribinowitz and hello Ian I'm back. Hello Jason welcome back.

Thank you. How was your Asian adventure? It was fun and I also

Seattle, I threw in a little Pacific Northwest to spice things up a bit. There you go and I guess we'll start at the end. You went to Vietnam and then went to

Seattle and then on your flight back from Seattle to New York you had an empty middle

seat? Vietnamese cuisine.

Oh, yeah.

At Sea Tech, the priority pass restaurant is a Vietnamese restaurant, which is just the icing

on the cake for that trip.

So tell everyone at home, what you did where you went the

pertinent details etc. Okay pertinent details so using Delta Sky miles that I

had to burn which is only about 55,000 I think. I flew LaGuardia, Detroit,

Seoul, Hanoi, Hanoi, Hochi Min city, Hoi Minnang, took a train up to Hui, Hui to Hanoi, back down, Hanoi, Seoul, Seattle,

Seattle, New York.

Almost entirely on Airbus aircraft actually, which is, well, didn't plan that way,

but in order of flights I flew an A321, A35900, 787-9, A321 Neo, A320, CO, A321 CO, A321 CO, A900 again, A33900 Neo, and a 321 CO once again. So a wide variety of aircraft, which just happened to be almost entirely Airbus.

And that was what, nine days?

Yeah, something like that.

So I met our friend Seth Miller out there in Hanoi and we just kind of bummed around Vietnam
