Tribal Knowledge | The psychology behind "the Norms" Jun 14, 2024

Whenever we hear the phrase “tribal knowledge” or “the Norms”, it is associated with negativity, for example, dishonest maintenance practices or wrongdoing.

In today’s episode, we explore the positives and negatives of tribal knowledge, the psychological aspects of it, how it can turn negative, and what can we do to preserve the good and mitigate the bad.

Manuals Madness | Are manual subscriptions a safety issue? Apr 19, 2024

We’ve stressed throughout our podcast that every bit of aircraft maintenance should be done in accordance with the proper maintenance manuals. We’ve further stressed that not following procedures via the manuals can lead to severe repercussions up to but not limited to losing your certification and/or causing a catastrophic incident. But what if you don’t have updated manuals, or worst yet you don’t have access to them because they are too expensive for you to get it? In today’s episode, we discuss why this is a safety issue and what could possibly be done about it.

Image isn't everything Mar 15, 2024

We all, be it consciously or unconsciously, present an image that expresses who we are or who we would like others to think we are. This is determined by the setting you are in. However, there are those who would go above and beyond to present an image far from what they really are, where image does not reflect the substance. In this episode, we explore how image and language can affect outcomes and why image is not always everything.

Back in the Saddle | How to shake off the post-holiday rust Jan 19, 2024

We’ve all experienced the cycle of taking time off for the holidays and/or an extended vacation. Ever notice when said time off is over, everything just feels like a massive blah? You find it hard to focus, recall simple steps, and just generally don’t feel happy about being back at work. What you’re experiencing is the post-holiday slump. This is sometimes countered with some type of “back in the saddle” briefing where employers will “ease” you back into the work mindset, which can sometimes feel more forced than genuine. On this episode, we discuss some ways to help shake off the post-holiday slump and help make work suck less!

Creativity and Craftsmanship | How hobbies can reignite some fading skills Jan 05, 2024

We have talked about some hobbies we have picked up over the course of 2023 in previous episodes, from exploring more fantasy lore, model painting, wood working, and tabletop games. These hobbies have given us an outlet to de-stress and exercise some creative problem solving. We’ve realized that hobbies can help reignite some skills that may have fallen to the wayside since our mechanic school days. For this episode, we explore some fading AMT skills and how creativity outlets can translate to masterful craftsmanship in and out of the workplace.

Another major goal was to go to more in-person events such as expos, conventions, and conferences; tune in to see what events we may be attending!

S.A.D. again | The "holiday blues" and Aviation ft. Kora the Aviation Therapist Nov 17, 2023

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:

Emergency Procedures | How to handle a critical situation Nov 10, 2023

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 Nov 03, 2023

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? Oct 27, 2023

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 Oct 20, 2023

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

Counterfeit Parts | The importance of part inspections Oct 13, 2023

It’s no secret that the aviation industry depends heavily on its supply of parts, however every so often we run into a rash of unauthorized parts, specifically counterfeit parts. There’s been a recent uptick of airlines and other organizations across the aviation industry discovering counterfeit/unauthorized parts either in their bench stock or already installed on aircraft. Today, we want to explore this topic more and delve into what constitutes an unauthorized part, what should we do if we see it, and what can we do to prevent it.

We highly recommend visiting your civil air authority's website and look for their unauthorized parts notifications archive and/or their parts manufacturer authorizations to cross check any parts that you may be suspicious or hesitant on.

Pause for Safety | Best practices and how the "dirty dozen" can cascade Oct 06, 2023

It’s beat into all of our heads to the point of numbness, “safety first, safety always”. The world of aviation is full of inherent risks, some we do well to avoid, others we do our best to mitigate. Often times though, safety is blurred for the sake of speed whether we want to admit it or not. Today we explore “the dirty dozen” of aviation safety, how each item among the dozen can cascade into the others, and what steps and tips we can take to maintain a high degree of safety.

Stoicism | How an ancient philosophy can aid you as an AMT Sep 29, 2023

There’s a saying, “leave your feelings at the door”, which sounds easier said than done. Contrary to what some of us believe, we aircraft mechanics are driven by caffeine and (mostly) anger. Today, we explore some of the concepts of stoicism, what it is, and how it can help you in your everyday life both on and off the line.

Duct tape is OK | What makes things airworthy? Sep 08, 2023

Have you ever seen an aircraft mechanic/engineer “duct taping” aircraft parts together? How about noticing some panels are “missing”? Are these ok to fly and should you be concerned? This has been a recurring topic that’s been cycled around in our non-aviation groups. To the non-versed this may feel like a cause for alarm. So, what does give us aircraft mechanics authority to perform these actions that are perceived to be unsafe, and why is it acceptable?

Butcher's nails | The effects of anger in the workplace and how to manage it Aug 25, 2023

Sometimes anger gets the best of us. They can feel like butcher’s nails, where the longer they stay in, the harder it can be to take them out. Over time, it can rob us of our patience and cause us to lash out in frustration, like telling passengers to be civil after long strings of unruliness. On this episode, we explore the effects of anger in the workplace, why does it happen, and what can we do to mitigate it.

Audit Season and Paper Hats | Everything comes from a standard Aug 18, 2023

We are back again in the swing of things bringing you an episode after a small, but much needed hiatus. What better way to ring back in the times, than to talk about what it’s currently time for and that is audit season! That’s right, everyone’s “favorite” time of the year. But why DO we perform audits? Is it really necessary? Or is it just to keep people who “can’t do” employed?

Take a Moment | Don't forget about yourself! Aug 04, 2023

We have often emphasized on the show that you should take a moment to work on your personal, professional, and family needs. Who would we be if we didn’t try to practice that ourselves? Joining us today is Nine, Six’s wife, and special guest from episode 18! We talk about taking those moments, the struggle of finding that work-life balance, the equal struggle of rediscovering de-stressors, and the understanding that each situation can have its own unique solution.

Sunken Testers | The importance of troubleshooting and testing Jul 14, 2023

We rarely cover crashes and mishaps, mostly because when dire situations like these come up, it’s typically sounded around the land and the horse gets beaten beyond the point of glue. We do, however, want to take this time to emphasize the importance of testing, troubleshooting, and following proper steps to remedy shortfalls and mitigate risks before they escalate into issues which we may not have the wiggle room to escape from. At the time of this recording, the Titan submersible was lost at sea. What sort of lessons can we learn from this incident and apply it to aviation?

On-Time Performance | How punctuality drives maintenance Jun 30, 2023

STAY Indiana | Helping the future find their future Jun 23, 2023

We can all agree that sometimes the pathway to an aviation career can be rather muddy and very expensive. In addition, there’s copious amounts of bad gouge/misinformation out there that can deter someone from achieving their aviation goals. Today we are joined with Matt and Marty of STEM in Aviation Youth (STAY) Indiana; a newly created nonprofit organization whose goal is to give teens the opportunity to build an aircraft and learn how to fly it; essentially enabling the future of aviation.

You can find out more about STAY Indiana at their social medias and website at:

The Dunning-Kruger Effect | The overconfidence in inability Jun 16, 2023

Have you ever experienced someone who believes they are more capable in an ability, skill, or knowledge in a certain area than they actually are? Is this narcissistic or is the person genuinely unaware of their ignorance? What you have witnessed is a cognitive bias called the “Dunning-Kruger” effect. Requested by one of our supporters, we dive into what this bias is, give some common examples of what you may find in everyday life, how we all might be guilty of it, and most importantly how to counteract this.

Rest days are the best days! Jun 09, 2023

We often hear that the best way to minimize burn out/exhaustion is to take a rest day. What if we don't know when that rest day will come, or worse what if we use that rest day as a "catch up" day, and end up using it to do more work? Today we explore ways to give yourself break, identify the the time off, and ways to effectively take advantage of it.

The "Anti-Handbook" Handbook | How to set clear expectations Jun 02, 2023

Handbooks spell all the governing policies and procedures of a company, likewise what the expectations are. However, we’ve all seen those organization handbooks that are pages upon pages thick, and the sheer size of it discourages us from reading them. For this episode, we take a look at “the anti-handbook” handbook from the Tesla company, explore our thoughts on it, and give some tips on how to set expectations for both leaders and employees.

A sample of Tesla's "anti handbook" can be found at various websites, including:

Parts Protection | Packing, Marking, Storing, and Shipping May 12, 2023

What’s the most frustrating thing about parts? Is it the agonizing waiting game? Is it receiving the wrong part or revision? OR how about when you’ve painstakingly waited for said part(s), the success of the maintenance task and ultimately the success of this high priority flight(s) hinged on the timely delivery of and install of said part, only to have it arrive and it arrives damaged? It sounds like a terrible waste of time, money, and manpower, right?! On today’s episode, we explore the importance of (often taken for granted) parts protection, packing, marking, shipping, and storing.

Owner-Produced Parts | What is it and how can it land you in hot water? Mar 24, 2023

Whenever an aircraft needs parts for replacement or repair, there’s common avenues we use. That being: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA), or the salvage yard.

Mood and Food | Common myths behind gut and mental health Mar 17, 2023

The internet and our peer groups are full of diet and mental health advice, so much so that we can hardly tell what is true and what is false. Often times, we are led to believe that certain entities have the best credible advice, only to be busted and be profoundly false! For today’s episode, we are joined by Kora the aviation therapist (IG- @aviation.therapist) and Jill the pilot nutritionist (IG- @pilot.nutritionist) who help us understand the connection between gut health and metal health, dispel common myths behind them, and lend some advice for us to better our relationship between the moods we feel and the food we eat!

**We highly recommend you consult a professional if you are having issues with your mental health and/or your dietary needs. Professional specialists will be best equipped to help identify your issues and discover remedies for them!**

Digitization | Transitioning from analog to digital Jan 27, 2023

We are living in a digital world, but is it all that it is cracked up to be? There’s definitely a plethora of pros that come with going fully digital, but there are some areas in aviation that are still, for lack of better words, lagging behind in the transition. Today we talk about what are some of the positives of going fully digital, and some of the abrasions of why it’s not so great.

Meritorious Performance Dec 23, 2022

Winter is here, which means the end of the year is upon us, AND it means end of year review time! This is where you find out if you’ve met all your goals for the year, where managers get to pine for hours on performance evaluations, and when bean counters crunch the numbers to see what bonuses can be doled out. End-of-year reviews can sometimes be very uninformative, disappointing, or downright insulting. Today we share some of our experiences receiving and writing end-of-year reviews, plus some things you can do to alleviate the bad ones and capitalize on the good ones.

Holiday SAD-ness | How to alleviate seasonal affective disorder Dec 16, 2022

The holidays season is a time for family, quality time, and travel. It is also a time when Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) really takes hold of you. For us aviation specialists, this puts additional pressure on us because demands increase, but often personnel availability (along with resource availability) significantly decreases. What this translates to is longer turnaround/processing times between flights, less personnel to troubleshoot issues, and higher chances for mistakes. Today, we talk about some of the effects of the holiday season, the effects of SAD, and what are some things that you can do about it!

Trash Talk Nov 04, 2022

Trash talking is very common in the aviation industry. Provocation, otherwise known as “trash talk” or “shit talking”, is a form of verbal contests consisting of boastful remarks about oneself or insulting remarks about one’s opponent. When used properly, it can be a tool that promotes healthy competition between friends or rivals. Today, we explore how trash talking can be good to a point in aviation, how it's a bad thing, and how you can ensure it doesn't get out of hand.

**Tell us your stories, what's some of the best/worst trash talk you've heard at work!**

Impasta Saucedrome Oct 07, 2022

We’ve all at one point in time felt that we are undeserving of some of our achievements, often shrugging them off and calling it sheer dumb luck or just dovetailing off someone else’s hard work. Sometimes these notions are inherent with the competitive and perfectionist nature of our industries. Today, we explore why we feel this way, how do we recognize them in ourselves and others, and what we can do to overcome them.

Crystal Ball Maintenance Sep 09, 2022

It’s time to grab your crystal balls and six-sided dice! Today we’re talking about an initiative that’s slowly gaining more speed and popularity, predictive maintenance. What is it and how does it work? Is it different from “preventative” maintenance? Will this new initiative be the cost-effective savior we’ve been hoping for, or is it just overhyped troubleshooting?

Mother Nature's South Paw Aug 26, 2022

The weather can be very unpredictable and catch you off guard. In this episode, we take a look at how the weather took a turn for the worse and caught Norfolk, VA very off guard, damaging nine military helicopters in the process. At the time of this recording, the incident investigation is still ongoing, but what can be done about the weather and is it more costly to lean on the side of caution?

Theory of Knowledge Aug 12, 2022

Today, we're diving a little bit into the Quality Assurance realm. We go into the continuous improvement process, what goes into preventative action and the biases of ignoring objective evidence because they may not exactly align with your current beliefs or agenda. This theory of knowledge was coined and best made famous by W. Edwards Deming, an engineer and statistician, who is responsible for most of the quality assurance concepts we practice today.

Standardize the Industry continued Aug 05, 2022

In our last episode, we talked about the age-old question of whether aircraft mechanics/aircraft maintenance technicians were skilled or unskilled. After citing an article published by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association, it’s been highlighted, at least to us, that AMTs/AMEs are in fact considered skilled labor, but it also showed some of the convoluted ways our professional occupation is coded. Today, we’re going to take a dive and see what some of the codes are, what they say about their occupation, and talk about some of the numbers they project for that occupation, if any.

Standardize the Industry Jul 22, 2022

You’ve heard us mentioning on many episodes that aircraft mechanics here in the US are labeled as “unskilled labor”. We have had so many questions about that, so we’ve decided to do an episode about exploring why that is. This article we are citing comes from the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association and from various other organizations which are diligently trying to dispel the misconceptions of aircraft mechanics and technicians.

Virgins of Training Jun 10, 2022

On May 6th, a Virgin Atlantic flight bound for New York from London was 40 minutes into their flight before having to turn back due to a “rostering issue” with the flight’s first officer. Many public comments chastise both the first officer and their lines for this egregious oversight, but was the “oops” a lack of awareness or was it the result of making ends meet on an already burnt-out system?

What do you think, should the first officer have taken extra steps before boarding the flight? What steps should be implemented to prevent this from happening again? Would extra steps making other operations more difficult?

Aerobatic Plane Swaps Apr 01, 2022

On April 24, 2022, Hulu will livestream the Red Bull “Plane Swap” stunt where two seasoned skydivers will set their planes on a 14,000 ft nose-dive, jump out of them, and then swap planes mid-dive. As amazing as this stunt will be, and we surely hope they are able to pull this off, the planning and execution of this stunt is no laughing matter. Today, we explore some of the steps it would take to pull off something like this, some of our views as mechanics, and we ask the question, “What comes after this?”

Oh Snap to Mishaps Mar 18, 2022

In the aviation industry, some tasks feel very repetitive, tedious, convoluted, and even boring. These very mundane-seeming tasks lead us to get complacent and sometimes skip over their completion because of how superfluous they seem. When complacency sets in, that’s when mishaps occur. Today, we review two released incident reports from the US Air Force, as requested by some of our patrons, and explore how two seemingly mundane tasks can lead to millions of dollars in damage and almost resulted in loss of life. Some information have been oversimplified to preserve controlled information.

From Fox Hole to Flight Line Mar 11, 2022

We’ve heard so many stories of successful people beginning with certain careers, then making drastically opposite career changes. Today, we are joined by Jessica Girard, a former infantry soldier turned aircraft jet mechanic, and now a professional writer! We’ll explore some key reasons why someone would make such a career change, what sort of challenges you may face when doing the change, and some inspiring reasons why you should!

Winged Monstrosities Mar 04, 2022

We have all seen our share of airframes that made us scratch our heads and ask, “who designed this thing?”. These airframes, however, have correctable flaws or tolerable flaws. For today’s episode, we explore an article by BBC which covers planes that were so poorly designed, they should have never made it off the drawing board. From nine-winged aircraft to aircraft with engines that rotate around the crankshaft, these hoopties are more than just lemons, they are design monstrosities.

**Do you know of other aircraft that should not have made it to production? Let us know your stories by emailing us or send us a message on our social media outlets!**

Unpredictability Feb 25, 2022

We continue our discussion about the FAA’s article about forecasting the next 20yrs of aviation. This of course is considering key assumptions and whether those assumptions hold true for that forecasting period. What are some of these assumptions and does planning for the future have negative impacts on the present?

**What do you think? Where do you foresee aviation in the next 20 years? Will we have all-electric airplanes? Will we have assistant robot mechanics? Let us know your thoughts by shooting us an email at cancelledformaintenance.com or send us a message on our social medias!**

Forecasts & Review Feb 11, 2022

The aviation industry saw a massive reduction in all facets in 2020, like most other industries, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recovery efforts have been slow due to the many shortages (i.e. aircraft technician specialists, revenue, parts and supplies, operational aircraft, and pilots) that the pandemic has caused. Mental health and technology has also seen a rise during these times. Today we review an article published by the FAA which snapshots a prediction of what the industry may look like from FY 2021 through FY 2041 which includes all sectors of aviation from commercial airliners to Unmanned systems.

Some Components Still Sold Separately Feb 04, 2022

We continue our exploration on Component maintenance costs (CMC) with assistance by the article by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and dive into repair cycle cost, turnaround time, overhauls, and system obsolescence. Most aircraft mechanics only deal with the first chain of events regarding off wing support, however understanding how these processes work and we fit into it will not only help you appreciate the supply chain more, but how to better utilize it to fit your operational needs.

Some Components Sold Separately Jan 21, 2022

Component maintenance costs (CMC) make up about 24% of an airline’s direct maintenance costs. Many factors contribute to the challenges of managing component costs and associated repair and overhaul.

New Year, New Collab w/The Pilot's Pandemic Podcast Jan 14, 2022

Sometimes you’re hurt and you don’t know it, other times you don’t feel hurt enough. We got together today with Emma and Maddie, the hosts of the Pilot’s Pandemic Podcast, and talk about some of the stigmas, barriers, and challenges we all face in the aviation industry. The Pilot’s Pandemic Podcast actively strives for mental health awareness and reform for pilots who are secretly (or not so secretly) struggling with internal/external pressures, and we together talk about some ways you can relieve that pressure.

"New Normal" Training Jan 07, 2022

It has become very apparent since 2020, that online/distance training has become a new staple in our training requirements. The “Zoom Boom” has penetrated much of our daily lives from our children’s schooling to how we conduct meetings. With the aviation industry embracing online learning as an affordable solution, what are the positives and negatives for online training? Is there a right approach or is it just another “CYA”?

Self-Medication Dec 03, 2021

There is a large emphasis on aircrew (i.e. pilots, flight attendants, and so forth) performance, error, and medication use. For aircraft mechanics and ground technicians however, these lines are blurred, almost flagrantly ignored for the sake of continuous operations. When is it ok to self-medicate, what are some alternatives, and when would it pose a problem?

Blast from the Present Nov 12, 2021

To say the pandemic has affected us and industries across the world would be an understatement. We’ve all been in one way, shape, or form been disrupted by COVID-19. Some industries had to shut down, some had to shut down for good, and some were lucky enough to operate but at a limited capacity. As industries slowly start to recover, aviation especially has some key challenges that it will need to navigate through. We take a look at a recent article of some of those new realities airlines face and possible solutions of how they could fix it.

Systemic Issues Nov 05, 2021

In December of 2020, the National Commission on Military Aviation Safety published a report citing root causes to the thousands of military aviation mishaps. The five-year study of this report recounts some of the leading causes which include inadequately trained aircrew and maintainers, aggressive operations tempo, overworked maintainers, and unpredictable budgets. Although this article focuses on the military, many of these root causes are systemic to almost every other aviation industry from commercial to contractual. What can be done to mitigate the current problems and what can be done to prevent them from happening again?

Supersonic: The Headge Fund Plane Oct 22, 2021

The need for speed is what makes us continue to push the limits of machines and science. Supersonic flight has its own share of challenges from materials, fuel economy, environmental impacts, and high maintenance costs. Let's not forget to mention the current and standing ban of flying supersonic over land. Why is this so, and will new innovations currently in the works be our solution to these challenges? What other challenges would we incur for having commercial planes fly supersonic?

Survival of The Biased Oct 15, 2021

We as humans tend to not focus on the “losers” and “failures” in life. Much, if not all of our focus is on “winners”, “against all odds” stories, things we can see, and things that make us feel good. This distorted view seeing only successes is called “survivorship bias”. Today we explore yet another article about what goes into survivorship bias and how it affects every aspect of our life.

I are Leader! Oct 08, 2021

There are 5 core competencies that every leader and aspiring leader need to be familiar with and constantly practice. It's sometimes a big pill to swallow to recognize your faults and weaknesses but realizing what they are is the stepping stone to improvement. Some however, see no fault in themselves, or they force cohesion/collaboration to the point of submission. Today, we look into Indiana University's take on the 5 core staff competencies and reflect on some key experiences, both good and terrible, that highlight these competencies.

CANN Do! Oct 01, 2021

Cannibalizations are a widely used aviation practice to bridge the supply gap to fulfill operation requirements. For today's episode, we review a report filed by the General Accounting Office (GAO) about how cannibalizations can adversely affect aviation personnel AND maintenance. We've all, at one point, have done CANNs to make a plane flyable, some at the expense of another aircraft because of operational pressures and revenue. What happens when these "quick fixes" get repeatedly used and then go underreported, or worse, unreported?

Human Errors & Maintenance Sep 24, 2021

We've all heard it before, we are human and humans make mistakes. Human factors play such a critical role, especially in aviation, to the success and failure of the aviation industry. There are so many classes, certifications, and components that go in to mitigating human induced errors, that it's viewed mostly as a chore than it is as a form of mitigating risk. We look into some instances as cited by the NTSB and the FAA as to some common trends, that to this day, still occur. What are some things we can do to change this? What are some ways we can improve?

LAME statistics Sep 17, 2021

We take a quick break from some of our usual antics and share some forecasts on the future of our industry. We cite some snippits of history about aviation, how the trade became popular, and share an article from CASA, our Australian counterpart to the FAA. COVID-19 has put a serious pause on most industries, some harder than others. The forecast for aviation, trades in general, is looking very positive, with newer opportunities being offered which most of us didn't have the privilege of knowing. If working in the aviation industry has been a dream of yours or a passing thought, this may be the year to experiment while most companies within the aviation world are looking for ways to fulfill the upcoming demand for technicians and specialists!

Koala-fications Sep 10, 2021

To excel in a trade, you will need to attain certain certifications, licenses, and qualifications. Getting these certs (and so forth) is a long road, some could take you upwards of 16 years depending on where and what trade you are in. This is assuming you have ready access to the training or schooling required to get them. Some certification requirements have limited training seats, some have limited funding, and some only happen once in a while. What makes matters worse is those who do get certified tend to horde all the knowledge and work to themselves, thus limiting others to take part in required work to gain said knowledge and experience. To add more salt to the wound, some individuals will drag their feet and take forever to gain certain licenses/qualifications to AVOID taking on more work!

Episode 50!! Where we are now Sep 03, 2021

We've made it to our 50th episode and our 1-year podcast anniversary! We seriously couldn't have done any of it without you, our listeners, supporters, and Patrons! When we began this podcast, it was an abstract idea and a wild shot in the dark at best. We've said it time and time again, but we really can't stress it enough, we started this podcast to highlight some of the gross underbelly of the little known lives of aircraft maintainers/specialists. It has evolved from a pseudo-therapy session between co-workers of ours and has expanded into widely known show, which we ourselves didn't know how far we could go! We take this time to reflect on some of the obstacles we've overcome, where we are now, and where we plan on going.

Vote for us on the first ever Veteran Podcast Awards! We are in 3 categories- Leisure, Best Marine Corps, and Best Overall! Voting is open until September 18th. Please check out some of our friends, who are also contestants on the Veteran Podcast Awards- Women With an Effed Up Mind (IG- @_itseffedup), Kruse Corner (IG-@kruse_corner), and the Nonprofit Architect (IG-@nonprofitarchitect).

Tag, You're It! Aug 27, 2021

We’ve all at one point or another criticized our leadership. A fair amount of those times was during a stressful situation and their decisions weren’t meeting the demand. Attitudes and mindsets change when you’re the one placed in the “hot seat” however. Being the person in charge, or better yet, the “acting” person in charge can be very tense, where vital decisions need to be made fast with little to no context to base them from. In some cases, these moments of leadership are temporary, with you being used as a scapegoat in times of duress, so more toxic and “capable” leaders can save face and preserve their image.

Zero to 100, Getting Back Into the "Norm" Aug 20, 2021

Some of us, across all industries, have been unfortunately without work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us have had to adapt to both work and personnel shortages. As things however start ramping back up and returning to a semi-normal pace, industries are feeling the backlash of doing more with less. Some organizations have been able to adjust, while others are grinding gears to build momentum from being idle for an extended period of time.

Tinnitus Has a Nice Ring to It Aug 13, 2021

Almost anything aviation related has its share of noise hazards. Some occupations have nothing but noise hazards. These occupations would most assuredly have signs, posters, and other forms of media that advise you to preserve your sense of hearing and wear appropriate protective equipment. Do we actually use them? Every shop has those individuals who scoff at the notion due to their already lacking sense of hearing. Did you know that hearing loss can tie into other parts of your body and manifest itself into other physiological issues? How much is your hearing (or health in general) worth?

Vacation to the vacation Aug 06, 2021

We all work hard to earn our time off, often at the expense of ourselves. "Work hard, play hard" is the typical saying when referring to activities outside of our day-to-day grind. Vacations are the go-to cure for work burnout, or at least be the relief for it, but have you ever had vacations where it felt like it was just as much work if not more than your regular job? How about being wrapped up in the planning and doing phases of vacation that you don't actually enjoy yourself? Was it the extra work involved when brining along kids? family members? Perhaps you can't really relax due to always being on the go? Whatever the case may be, nothing hits harder than the slow trudge back to reality once your vacation is over. When that happens, we'd often feel like we need a vacation after having a vacation.

Hurry Up and Wait Jul 30, 2021

When there’s work to be done, the job can consume you. Sometimes however, we find ourselves rushing to the stop sign. When these uncommon but inevitable moments occur, the demand for superfluous tasks begin to rise. In times of too much "white space", you would think some refresher training or practical applications would be ideal. That may be the case on some occasions, however more often than you would think, these moments of free time is spent doing menial tasks that "had to be done" or just a way to keep you busy. Others see this time as a way to express their "creativity" by coming up with ways to relieve the boredom. You can't expect too many good things when skilled individuals are left with nothing to do.

What's your go-to ritual or practice before a major event? Pre-game puke? Nice cup of coffee? How about a good stretch and jamming out to your favorite tunes (or podcast)? Whatever form it takes, we have those habits that help ready us for the oncoming venture. Some habits are positive and empower us to brave the storm, giving us some sense of courage and invulnerability. Other habits are negative and perpetuate a shitty situation, no matter the size of impact it really is. On this episode, we discuss some of our "pre-game" rituals, both good and bad, that helps us take on whatever fresh hell is thrown our way.

Who's Driving This Bitch?! Jul 16, 2021

They go by many names; maintenance controller, pro super, production controller, operations/project planner, maintenance coordinator, production planner; but one title they all share is "cat herder". Maintenance control is widely considered the operations and information hub of the aviation world. This hub acts as the brain of an aviation organization which includes such functions as gathering and processing data, creating operations plans, and implementing solutions. Controllers are often seen as the enemy of both the maintenance shops due to their perceived overbearing pursuit of fulfilling operations schedules. Likewise they are seen as the bane of management for their lack of willful, blind obedience to "big picture" plans, or the non-tyrannical push to fulfill priorities. The fast paced, anxiety inducing environment that is maintenance control requires a sharp mind and a great amount of communication to turn abstract into reality, especially in the event of an emergency. Flight operations success hinges on the ability of maintenance control. On a good day it is organized chaos, on rough and stressful days, it is virtually like herding cats.

Turn and Face the Strange Jul 09, 2021

At some point in your career, you will find reasons to be unfulfilled or unsatisfied. This can come in many forms such as commute time is no longer feasible, family time is becoming too scarce, an abundance of burnout days, and so forth. The thought of moving on to something else or something better becomes stronger as the moments pass by. We sometimes accept these feelings as overthinking or over "feeling" our current position. Maybe it's just a string of bad days, maybe you're just not utilizing your time efficiently, or maybe it's some other underlying condition. This hesitance and the anxiety of venturing to something new is what deters us from transitioning. In the end however, it is all what is best for you and maybe transitioning into the unfamiliar is exactly what you need. What should you do to prepare? Are you prepared enough? When should you call it quits and is it ever ok to burn bridges?

Blame and Train Jun 25, 2021

Typically when mistakes happen, it's either due to lack of knowledge or lack of care. The go-to solution to fix these instances is "refresher" training to a) reiterate/bridge the gap in the lack of knowledge or b) to re-emphasize the gravity of a task or outcome. Refresher training can take many forms from a verbal one-to-one counseling, read-and-sign computer based classes, to formal classroom training (which sometimes involves negative paperwork). Refresher training's effectiveness hinges on its delivery and acceptance however. With that said, most individuals with positions of authority consider this as a check in the box and uses this as a leverage tool to blame the individual for any future mistakes regardless if the training was adequate or if the individual fully understood the task he/she was being trained to. This turns into an endless loop of blaming, training, and patching the symptom without properly diagnosing the cause.

Every Time is Our First Time Jun 18, 2021

Executing a new plan or performing a new procedure can be a very confusing time. The learning curve can sometimes be 90 degrees with little wiggle room for error. What happens when the lessons learned from those experiences don't get passed along? How do you break the endless loop of discovery and trial and error? How do we ensure the ones after us aren't doomed to repeat the same mistakes and live up to the definition of insanity?

Work Stereotypes (feat. Dick Talk & Mimosas) Jun 11, 2021

Whether you acknowledge it or not, every work place has a stereotype in regards to gender, sexual orientation & identification, and culture. The age old stigma of "men tend the fields and women tend the house" is alive and well even to this day. It's almost understood as going against the grain if men were to do jobs such as nursing or baking, likewise if women are mechanics or join the military. We are joined once again with Ana, Jennifer, and Amanda, the hosts of the Dick Talk & Mimosas podcast to discuss some of the assumptions of gender and sexual orientation/identification in the workplace and why it continues to persist.

Dick Talk & Mimosas is a podcast where these lovely ladies talk about everything from felines to fetishes, all over mimosas!

Why Do People Lie? (feat. Dick Talk & Mimosas) Jun 04, 2021

There are many reasons why people lie, some for image reasons, some to stay out of trouble, and some of which are to yourself. On this very special episode (our third ever podcast collaboration), out of the box episode, we are joined by Ana, Jennifer, and Amanda, the hosts of the Dick Talk & Mimosas podcast to discuss exactly why do people lie. This episode is NOT safe for work or your kids. Will consist of a lot of laughs, blushing, tea spilling. Not recommended for those who are sensitive to expletives, and, well, "dick talk". Dick Talk & Mimosas is a podcast where these lovely ladies talk about everything from felines to fetishes, all over mimosas!

Let's Ruffle Some Feathers ft. J Marie & Lani Hankins May 28, 2021

Sexual abuse is probably one of the most heinous acts one can do, yet this subject along with domestic violence, is seldom talked about or taken seriously before an incident happens. What's worse is so many cases go unreported either out of fear of retaliation or fear of being ostracized. We are joined by J Marie, the host of the Women With An Effed Up Mind podcast, and Lani Hankins, the host of the Kruse Corner podcast, to discuss some of the more rough topics about sexual violence that's plaguing both the civilian and military sectors. We'll ruffle some feathers about why this is such a problem and what we can do to help make a difference.

Check out more episodes from Kruse Corner and Women With An Effed Up Mind on Spotify and other podcast platforms.

You're Only Human! May 21, 2021

Despite what many individuals and organizations think, aviation mechanics are neither magicians nor machines. The constant beat down of operations tempo can wear out even the most dedicated worker. This can lead to mistakes, slip ups, shortcuts, omissions, and mishaps. Work burnout is a real thing; it's a psychological syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and reduced personal accomplishment. Some may confuse burnout with depression, which is understandable since they have similar symptoms. Burnout can and does lead to depression. In some places, we glorify the burnout (i.e. we pride ourselves in being overworked), like it's a badge of pride. On this episode, we explore how that mindset is developed and how that can have serious implications.

Let's Talk About FLEX! May 14, 2021

Most workplaces have a set schedule to which its employees adhere to. For some aviation areas, such schedules are in a constant state of flux due to manpower shortages or an over demanding flight schedule. This leads to working long hours and having unpredictable work schedules. There's a saying "don't be flexible, be fluid" and this couldn't be more true when it comes to ever changing schedules like in high demand industries. In many cases, you're expected to jump when called upon and anything outside of what is demanded/expected of you doesn't exist or isn't relevant enough to justify slowing down or missing work.

Angry Oodles of Noodles (feat. La Coyote!) Apr 30, 2021

Almost all aircraft problems can trace itself back to its electronics. Despite what you may think, the technology that keeps a plane’s magic going is OLDER than it seems. These fixes are also much harder than they seem and involve such adventures as untangling years’ worth of neglected wires. Avionics troubleshooting, modifications, and upgrades require a deep level of skill and understanding. We are joined by La Coyote, a former Marine aircraft mechanic, who's recently transitioned into an avionics technician and shares with us some of the common gripes, pains, and attention to detail involved with aircraft electronics. Being an avionics technician typically involves being a pseudo-engineer, and having a good understanding of schematics. We mechanics tend to make fun of avionics technicians for their lack of grease soaked work clothes and their nerdy disposition. When it comes down to it, avionics is the way of the future and it's no wonder they have more longevity than an average wrench turner.

Lemon Laws Apr 09, 2021

Aviation maintenance shops seem to perform miracles when getting aircraft ready for its operation schedules and their hard work often gets overlooked. All shops however have a limit to their magic. This limit is often embodied in one or a few aircraft that always finds a way to break down no matter how much work is done to it.

All about that Phase (Bout That Phase), No Support! Mar 26, 2021

Phases, home station checks, and other periodic maintenance inspections are VITAL to maintain the lifespan of an aircraft. Despite this, many senior level officials will gloss over these inspections for the sake of having the plane back into its operation cycle. Actions like these can result in a best-case scenario of turning into hangar queens or worst case a catastrophic failure. Periodic maintenance inspections have a pre-planned schedule, however the planned vs actual inspection completion varies directly with the condition of the aircraft prior to the execution of it's planned maintenance interval. In almost every case, for the sake of continued operation, discrepancies are deferred until its next periodic maintenance plan. Again however, for the sake of operations, thorough periodic maintenance actions are rushed in order to have the aircraft back into service.

Janky GSE Feb 26, 2021

Ground support equipment is needed to service an aircraft in between flights. However, these equipment require maintenance of their own, which typically gets ignored or it can’t keep up with the pace set by the aircraft it services. This leads to Frankenstein fixes to get the GSE to work just enough to finish the job.

talent to transform well made items we use today from mundane and obscure materials. These talented
individuals are called master craftsmen. The journey to become a master craftsman takes hours of
dedication, learning, and perfection of their skill. They are forever students, constantly improving their

It’s Inspection Season! (Feat. Bubbles) Jan 08, 2021

Nothing puts an organization on edge more than an inspection. It’s never a good feeling having someone dig through your work life. It’s around this time where management reinforces the policies and procedures of your organization, some of which you were never made aware of, nor were they enforced until now. When your boss is awkwardly nice, and has that creepy smile, that’s when you know….

Special guest Bubbles, associate director of a non-profit organization for housing unfortunate youths, makes a return to share with us some of her stories of having to undergo surprise inspections and how simple steps can make them less painful.

Inspections are part of the quality process to ensure products and/pr services are meeting the minimums and won't fail. There are those however who wait until the last minute to prepare and/or correct any deficiencies. This poor practice can lead to lengthy audits, poor performance, a lack of morale, and incur more costs.

Extra Shit for Simple Shit Dec 11, 2020

Every industry has its fair share of convoluted steps. Most of these steps can be very unnecessary, however were implemented because of some incident or someone over-compensating for safety. Actions like these really make you question the intelligence of those who made them.

Shady Fixes Dec 04, 2020

In some cases, the end justifies the means. It’s instances like this where most “get it done” actions are performed and get overlooked or waived. However, “one-time actions” slowly turn into the new normal which can spell disaster if it continues to be practiced. No operation is worth continually glossing over procedures.

Documentation STILL Sucks (ft. Bunz) Nov 20, 2020

You walk into your office, your desk is piled high with papers and documents that are probably filled out wrong (because they always are). You know you are going to be disappointed, yet you turn on your computer that is filled with analytics and statistics that are just going to let you down further for the umpteenth day in a row. This is the life of your documentation (logs and records) specialists, matter of fact anyone who's had to deal with document heavy programs, and they hate it as much you hate taking the extra minute to make sure your chicken scratch is legible!

When in Distress, Call EMS! (ft. Frush) Nov 13, 2020

When major emergencies happen, they take to the sky. We count on them to take those in critical condition to the nearest haven and be our eyes in the sky during major disasters. They are the men and women of the aviation emergency services. Life in the EMS/SAR community can be very demanding, but one thing is for sure…

It's Not the Training, It's About the Message (feat. Cookies and Cream) Nov 06, 2020

In every form of work, there is some form of training. Typically this is done by a mentor or an instructor, but what do you do when there’s neither a trainer nor a budget? Training then becomes a matter of legality from “read & signs” to “death by power point”. On-the-job training is meant to bridge the knowledge gaps left from technical schools. When on-the-job training is left up to a power point slide, is it really about the training, or sending a message?

We are joined today with Cookies and Cream, two aspiring avionics technicians who are currently going through their required technician courses. Join us as they share some of the experiences of going into the aviation community with zero experience, going through the required courses, and how some of the training gets glossed over to save time.

Ain't Nothin' but a QA Thing! Oct 30, 2020

Their sole mission is to prevent the occurrence of defects. They do the job that no one likes to do but have fun doing it. They are the first ones to bitch you out and make you do all the dumb shit “legally”. They are the most nit-picky, never satisfied, overly dramatic, first to shut down ops and pull your certs. They are Quality Assurance representatives. It ain’t easy being one of the most hated entities in the aviation world, but one thing’s for sure, it ain’t nothing but a QA thing.

Sloooooow It Down (ft. Arabia) Oct 23, 2020

In today’s world, it’s all about speed and intensity, however revving the red line and going full throttle will eventually break down even the most committed person. Even the most dedicated routine or process needs a rest day or de-load day. These small breaks and reassessment steps can mean the difference between success and a catastrophic breakdown. When living in the fast lane, sometimes you just have to sloooow it down.

We are joined with special guest Arabia Essence, a naval officer and actress, who shares with us how she manages her busy schedule and prevents herself from being stretched too thin. Arabia Essence is a graduate of the US Naval Academy, was featured in Vogue Magazine, has been named Best Actress of 2020 by Black SD Magazine, and is board member to major groups such as MenTorch and the Naval Academy Minorities Association. To find out more about Arabia, follow her on Instagram at @arabiaessence.

Shift Wars, Revenge of the Shift Oct 16, 2020

No matter where you are, no matter where you go, there is always some form of hate and animosity between working shifts. One shift or another always half-asses things when they know the oncoming shift is imminent. In such instances, one shift finds a way to fuck over the other. From hiding common items to stacking the hangar in the most inconvenient way, the anger boils deep and always finds a way to get its revenge.

What Does the Pub Say? Oct 09, 2020

Aviation is a science, science relies on procedures. Ignoring the procedures can lead to disastrous effects, but what happens when the books are wrong? What happens when you have technicians who think they are smarter than the book? Aviation, like religion, has commandments.

Sh*t Ain't Done, Till the Paperwork's Done (feat. Jasmine) Sep 25, 2020

Nobody likes to do paperwork, its tedious, monotonous, and sometimes take forever to complete. Anyone who’s anyone in aviation will tell you, paperwork means everything, especially when it’s time for an audit. Everyone who’s had to do it, hates their life for it, and especially hates those who can’t do it right. From work history to flights, everything rides on paperwork. Shit aint done, until the paperwork’s done! With special guest Jasmine, a veteran logs and records chief and a multi-award recipient for records, we recount those times when records are totally screwed up to why paperwork is such an integral part of the aviation industry.

Tech School, Tech Fool Sep 18, 2020

Technical schools are the gateway to most professional careers. They provide essential information for a trade, as well as an overflowing wellspring of useless knowledge to fill your brain with. From theoretical math you’ll never use, to troubleshooting steps you’ll never be allowed to do, one thing is for sure…you’ll forget everything the moment you leave.

Incidents, Accidents, and Normal Wear and Tear Sep 04, 2020

Things break, sometimes things break hard, but not all incidents are treated equal. Life isn’t easy being the one to answer for an incident, it’s even worse when you have to answer for it when someone dumps it on your lap. The blame game is on. When it comes to incidents, it’s always homemade.

Raiders of the Lost Tool Aug 14, 2020

It never fails to happen, and it’s almost always right before the end of your shift. Something always goes missing, it’s usually ridiculously big or insanely small, and it is winner take all to find it, except the winners are losers and the losers get to be screamed at.
