## Resource

✈️ EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck — we translate them first. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. No corporate spin. Just the career intelligence pilots actually need. Three weeks ago, aviation had never looked more optimistic. Then the bombs fell on Iran, the Straits of Hormuz choked, and 46,000 flights vanished from the board. Gulf hubs shut down, jet fuel surged past $3.40 a gallon, and pilots who were flying a hundred hours a month are now sitting at home waiting for a phone call that might not come. We have seen this pattern before — 9/11, 2008, COVID — and every time the industry promises it will be different. Bryan also unveils a brand new AI-powered Risk Management and Decision-Making Simulator built on live FlightRadar24 data, walking through a full demo of the tool designed to fix one of aviation training's biggest blind spots. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock analyse the aviation impact of the Iran conflict, Middle East airspace closures, fuel price surges, pilot job insecurity, the aviation crisis cycle, and a live demo of a new AI-enhanced decision-making training tool for pilots. 🕐 TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 War Shakes Aviation 01:24 Jobs Put On Hold 04:28 Middle East Shutdown Stats 07:27 Fuel Surcharges Hit Home 08:52 Aviation Crisis Cycle 12:18 AI and Career Uncertainty 14:13 Messages From Stranded Crews 15:32 New Decision Making Simulator 21:07 How the App Works 23:21 AI Scenario Generator 25:54 Initial Actions Checklist 28:39 Assessing the Failure 29:38 QRH Action Phase 32:56 Decision Matrix Choice 34:05 Implementation and Approach 35:06 AI Debrief Review…
