234: Phasers on Stun
High-Speed Rail Promotion and Airline Industry Degradation
The "Trains Good, Planes Bad" segment highlights stories intended to discredit air travel, such as an airline refusing to fly a donated kidney and a passenger freak-out on a JetBlue flight. The hosts examine the "Sky Rider" standing seat concept, calling it a fraudulent plant designed to make flying seem unbearable. They contrast this with the efficiency of "lifesaver" flights that receive priority for heart transplants.
