Thanks for tuning into 2023's first Bonus episode pulled "from the archives". This was recorded back in 2021 in Season 1. It was put on the back burner as other content took priority & forgotten about until this year. I've received a lot of questions about mine & other mechanics experiences during the first few weeks COVID 19 hit the U.S. I've been hesitant to release this old recording from "the archive" Why? Well, -> !WARNING! This episode is contentious. I expect folks with differing opinions to chime in. I speak for myself, my thoughts & my nerves only. I will NOT respond or comment to any political or bureaucratic B.S. outside of aviation & how COVID affected mechanics, cabin crews & flight crews. It was an unnerving time trying to navigate the best way to maintain aircraft on the line while also trying to avoid contracting COVID. Little was known these first few weeks about the virus. Management had no clue, we had no clue, but we knew the virus was swiftly entering the U.S onboard aircraft & we were the 'boots on the ground', EXPOSED to this deadly virus with ZERO clue on how to protect ourselves AND maintain the aircraft. If you think it was a walk in the park... it wasn't. Big shout out to Matt, the shows producer for returning this year to help keep the podcast on track! Please subscribe & share!
