Wide Bodies, Old Birds, and Early-Morning Van Chatter
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Cody and Matthew open with legacy carrier fleet updates and Matthew’s 737 MAX 10 sighting at Boeing Field, then discuss widebody versus narrow-body life — why Matthew feels “special” on widebodies and why tall Cody struggles on narrow-body aircraft. They share stories about the Boeing Museum and defunct airlines, laugh about Albuquerque→Phoenix distance surprises, praise the Flighty app for tracking oldest/newest planes, celebrate the joys of bidding, confess to becoming “slam-clickers,” and complain about relentless hotel‑to‑airport van chatter.
