Podcast PSA #2 - Unruly PAX kinda have me ticked!

Podcast PSA #2 - Unruly PAX kinda have me ticked!

Author: 'Wheelz' August 4, 2021 Duration: 3:40

Hello and welcome!  

With all the Unruly PAX issues within the past week (and longer) I had to take a break from my normal routine of informing about the many 'fails' within the aviation maintenance industry and get this off my chest.  I empathize with persons who have a health issue or mental ailment that prevents them from wearing a mask-  I do! And if thats the case, it might behoove you to find another means of travel.  But I do not think it is those causing the many issues we are seeing reported. 

It's people who want 'to make their point known' that they disagree with masks on an aircraft and the vast majority are just ignorant people. 

And since this is 'aviation related' I thought, "What the hell.  IF they can speak out against masks and act unkindly, then Wheelz is going to give his $.02"     Thanks for tuning in, I don't usually go off topic but I think this once should be okay right? 

Do you agree or disagree? Let me know what your think!

For sixteen years, the host known as 'Wheelz' has turned wrenches on some of the most advanced flying machines ever built. That experience forms the backbone of The Good the Bad and the Ugly: The Aviation Maintenance Industry-Raw!. This isn't a polished corporate presentation; it's a hangar-floor perspective from an A&P mechanic who has seen it all. Each episode pulls back the curtain on the daily realities, pressures, and unspoken rules that define life on the line. You'll hear candid stories about the ingenious fixes, the frustrating shortcuts, and the systemic cultural issues that those outside the tarmac fence rarely glimpse. Wheelz digs into the tensions between safety protocols and production pressures, discussing the compromises that can happen when schedules are tight. This podcast serves as a raw audio log from the front lines, offering a voice to the technicians who keep global travel moving, for better or worse. It’s for anyone fascinated by aviation's inner workings, from aspiring mechanics to frequent flyers curious about what truly determines an airworthy aircraft. Expect a direct, unfiltered take that prioritizes gritty truth over comfortable fiction, exploring the full spectrum of professional aircraft maintenance without the usual filters.
