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!

In this quick, Bonus Podcast I am giving my .02$ and detailing the contradicting information of a new program released by the FAA.   On June 21,2021 the FAA announced a new "Reform mandate" called 'The Voluntary Safety Reporting Program' - a confidential "non-punitive"  program that encourages open reporting of aviation safety issues and concerns. This was pushed by congress to address the two B737 MAX aircraft which crashed within 5 months of each other.  BUT does this reporting program also include aircraft mechanics or is it simply a gimmick to protect themselves and aircraft manufactures? Any why does the information contradict itself? Get my take on this new program, tune in!  *Was a little under the weather when recording this FYI* Do you have questions, thoughts, concerns or want to share YOUR stories and experiences live on the podcast?
