The Good the Bad and the Ugly: The Aviation Maintenance Industry - Raw!

As an A/P mechanic going on 16 years, I"ve worked on the largest and most complex aircraft in the world. But the reality of the industry can be surprising and even scary. I talk about the toxic and unsafe culture that aircraft mechanics REALLY deal with. The very things that airlines and aviation companies DON"T want you to know. Prepare yourself. The rabbit hole goes deep. Join me as I give you an inside look into the GOOD the BAD and the UGLY of Aviation Maintenance. Email:

Hello everyone and welcome to 2023's first expose' episode. We're diving into the changes being put into effect for our Part 147 Airframe and Powerplant schools in the U.S and why these "changes" aren't all they appear...While I agree the curriculum taught in A/P school(s) needs to be upgraded, modernized it doesn't end there. As almost everything "aviation" nowadays, there always seems to be a 'background motive' ... On the outside it looks great mandating curriculum changes but once you start

2022/05/11

Hello everyone and welcome! This podcast was supposed to be a bonus podcast but instead I thought it needed to be said sooner rather than later.. Why does social media and the ignorant make false claims, spread bad information and hate on those of us who dare tell the TRUTH? Why do Anti-Boeing trolls hesitate or deflect when told facts and why do they get so upset when those living in reality put them in their place? What do they have to gain and what do they have to loose? After the 777 Air

Hello and welcome everyone! In this kind of-sorta bonus, 'explanation' podcast I'm talking about how some of my social media postings recently were taken out of context when referring to Cpt. Sullenberger. Sully is an amazing person, an American hero, no doubt! I have NOTHING 'against' him. But his focus as US.
