Vishal Mehra had me on his Indian-focused podcast, and we talked about that market along with much more. It\u2019s a really interesting region these days, so I really appreciated being able to come chat. (The link is for Spotify, but you can find it wherever you get your podcasts.)<\/p>\n

Chicago O\u2019Hare battle: United has a tactical advantage over American<\/a> \u2013 Travel Weekly<\/strong><\/em>

This week on The Air Show, the three of us get together to talk about regionals. We haven\u2019t looked at them since the Republic\/Mesa merger was announced. Are we at an end state or will there be further change in the future? We go back and forth on this issue.<\/p>\n
