Episode 701: So much news, so little time…
The boys knew they’d be back with AusDesk episodes in 2022 but didn’t think it would take quite *this* long to get one produced. Suffice to say, they’ve picked one of the busiest times in aviation Down Under to come … Continue reading

Episode 684: The Blackhawks are dead, long live the Blackhawks
There’s been a grave disturbance in the Force as another military platform gets retired (but not for long) and Qantas announces it’s replacing its Boeing 737-800s with aircraft from the A320 family. You bet the boys will have commentary and … Continue reading

Episode 675: More Romeos, please, and let’s get International again
The boys are back for another Oz Desk and, despite being well over a year since their last one, everything works out just fine with no hassles, hijinks or shenanigans. Who knew? The Royal Australian Navy are shopping for another … Continue reading

Episode 614: The last Qantas 747 has left the party
Despite the best efforts of COVID to turn Victoria into Sick-toria (the infectious state) and Melbourne being locked down like East Berlin, the boys have managed to get another Oz Desk produced for Max to (hopefully :) ) allow into … Continue reading

Episode 376: It’s all Back in Black

Episode 374: Tiger Enters the Comedy Market, Who Knew?
The boys are back and the comedy flows as they report on Tiger Airways apparently improving their customer experience and even getting a new call center. Steve is less than enthused! He is, however, rather excited about the next Retro … Continue reading
