I'm Bryan Roseveare. Fourteen years an airline pilot, now a simulator instructor. I train the pilots flying you around. This feed carries two shows, one point of view: the flight deck. The Bryan Air Podcast is the weekly show with co-host Ryan Parrock. The week's aviation news, told the way pilots actually talk about it: the stories that hit your ticket price, your travel plans and your rights. New travel rules, airline takeovers, airport failures, and the decisions made above your head. Two pilots, no script, and no shortage of disagreement. A Pilot Explains is the short solo show. One topic per episode, answering the questions passengers actually ask. Is it safe? Why did we turn around? What happens inside a flight simulator? Answered from the front seat, in plain language. South African honesty. No corporate spin. 280+ episodes and counting, and the number one management podcast in South Africa. New episodes every week.

No PR polish. No corporate spin. Just pilots breaking down the stories shaping the skies: airline chaos, crew culture, decision-making, sport banter, and the conversations you only hear at 38 000 ft. We're closing the hangar doors on 2025 with the ultimate cockpit debate: If the pay is the same, do you fly Boeing or Airbus? While the media hates on Seattle, we're taking a hard look at the A320's recent \"solar radiation\" nose-dive, toxic fume lawsuits, and why real pilots might still prefer the old-school metal. Plus, we breakdown the new $70M \"no find, no fee\" bounty on MH370, a $120k parking ticket for a \"lost\" 737, and why South African visa rules are a total dog show for business aviation. ⏱️ TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Welcome to the Bryan Air Podcast 00:20 Season Finale Reflections 02:15 Boeing vs. Airbus Debate 04:04 Airbus A320 Issues 13:57 Tourism Challenges in South Africa 21:06 Emirates' New Airbus A350 23:20 FAA Investigations and Airline Fines 25:10 Forgotten Boeing 737 Found 26:18 The Beast: MI-26 Helicopter 26:49 MH370: The Search Continues 29:08 Amazon Drones in Waco, Texas 35:21 Cirrus Aircraft Trade-In Program 37:01 US-India Tensions Over 787 Crash 38:16 Springboks' Rugby Success 43:18 F1 Championship Showdown 45:28 Thank You to Our Supporters 💼 FEATURED DIGITAL PRODUCT ✈️ Kaizen and the Art of Command Leadership under pressure.
