Talking with Kim and Chris about new features at MilKEEP Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

Episode #66 – We are talking with Kim and Chris at MilKEEP about logbook transcription and their new system to automate the painful transcription process from Air Force flight records to a workable logbook. MilKEEP is run by a husband and wife team. Chris brings his knowledge as an Air Force pilot and Kim lends her background in business to the running of the company's day-to-day operations.

The idea for MilKEEP started when Chris was applying for his ATP. Together, they spent hours staring at a computer screen entering over 3000 of Chris' military flying hours into a conversion spreadsheet.

TTT3 – Should Pilots Learn Jiu Jitsu Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

null

I wanted to chat with you about an article by Joshua Scovalend about jiujitsu as a method for police reform. I am going to approach this from the aviation venacular. This is something that we can really consider in the aviation world, and we should be better prepared to handle situations where someone is a danger to ourselves, our crews, or our passengers. It would be a great service to learn how to nonlethally subdue another person.
