On Aviation™ Podcast On Aviation

You guessed it! We are talking about pilots' mental health once more.

Here's the deal: In response to one of our articles on pilot mental health a reader asked, “Pilots are not the only ones facing mental health issues, you know?” (paraphrased). To which we answered in an article. True. But…

How should Businesses and individuals operating within that industry prepare to prevail and prosper? In this episode of the On Aviation™ Podcast, we seek to answer these questions by first shedding some light as to how the 2023 economic crisis has been manifesting itself so far, then provide some guidance on how to cope with it.
