A behind-the-scenes look into the gritty, non-glamorous hate-fueled life of the aircraft maintainer.

    What am I doing? | Job transitioning and facing your ego

    What am I doing? | Job transitioning and facing your ego

    We’ve all been there at some point, either first time getting a job, or transitioning from one job to the next, we come to a moment where we ask, “What am I doing?”. It’s in these moments where we ought to really be cautious, it is when we are the most vulnerable, and it’s the most opportune time for us to have our pride/ego taken advantage of. For this episode, we explore some red flags in various stages of the job seeking process, how can we spot them, and what can we do about them.

    S.A.D. again | The "holiday blues" and Aviation ft. Kora the Aviation Therapist

    S.A.D. again | The "holiday blues" and Aviation ft. Kora the Aviation Therapist

     The holidays are coming up soon and while it is widely dubbed as “the happiest time of the year”, that may not be the case for some of us, especially in the aviation industry. The holidays typically mean longer workdays, overtime requests, bloated workloads, and to top it off, let’s throw in some Seasonal Affective Disorder (that’s right, S.A.D.)! We’re rejoined by Kora the aviation therapist to talk about S.A.D., other holiday blues, and what we can do to alleviate them.
    We highly encourage you to utilize resources available to you, especially professional resources if the holidays or other circumstances are affecting you. To use resources such as Kora, our guest, you can find her at:
    Instagram- @aviation.therapist-or-www.flightdeckcommunity.com
    You can also use the resource Th.AIR.apy, as mentioned on the show at: Instagram- @th.air.apy -or- text "CREW" to 833-532-1096.

    Emergency Procedures | How to handle a critical situation

    Emergency Procedures | How to handle a critical situation

    We’ve been seeing a rise in near misses, divert emergencies, and general “seat biter” situations. Some of these incidents were very preventable, others were so abrupt it didn’t leave much room to react positively. For today’s episode, we would like to take this opportunity to emphasize emergency procedures. We’ll share some of our “seat biter” moments, our lessons learned, and give some tips to help you in those critical decision scenarios.

    Aviation Evolution | The next steps and why we aren't there yet

    Aviation Evolution | The next steps and why we aren't there yet

    We’ve spoken many times about the future of aviation; we’ve all heard of the cool new innovations that are in the works; so why haven’t we seen them yet? In today’s episode, we discuss some technologies that have been developed, some pathways new tech has to take, inject some nerd lore, and what can we hope to see in the near and distant future.

    Band of Brothers | Why don't aircraft mechanics stand with each other?

    Band of Brothers | Why don't aircraft mechanics stand with each other?

    We’ve seen instances of high visibility jobs, such as aircrew, stand up for each other and plant their feet when circumstances arise that antagonize them. For aircraft mechanics though, it’s not as present. Some would argue that they don’t stand up for each other and would sooner vote with their feet than band together. Why is that? Today, we share some opinions to maybe spark a discussion to answer this question, and maybe spark an initiative to band together.

    Facts with Max | Lore and failing upwards

    Facts with Max | Lore and failing upwards

    It's pretty safe to say that aircraft mechanics are nerds to some degree, with varying tastes in music, literature, and games. Today we are joined with Max of Airplane facts with Max, and we explore how deep some of our lore knowledge goes, the ups and downs of being an aircraft mechanic, “failing upwards”, how we can relate lore to airplanes, and how it can help make someone’s day!
    You can find more of Max’s airplane facts videos on Instagram and Tiktok at @airplanefactswithmax
