Karlene, I'm AMAZED at how much you are able to do, while also being a full time airline pilot!!

There may be some in the aviation industry who would say, "Take your time, Captain. No rush... really. Why not wait - till you retire, so that you can really focus on it... :)
Dan, Thank you for the comment. I have many things to focus on when I retire. But this one... we can't wait!
DeleteI think if someone had conducted this research years earlier, and then used the data and what we learned to create change, be it the airline training, FAA and regulatory compliance... then Air France Flight 447, Colgan Air Flight 3407, Asiana Flight 214, and UPS Flight 1354 would not have happened. Not to mention the many close calls (hundreds? Thousands?)
This research is timely going into NextGen. And... as of this moment... the ebook is on line for free for two days!
Karlene, I was happy that I was able to attend your defense online. You did amazing and I can't wait to read this book!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeremy! Please tell everyone you know to buy a copy of this. Priced right to download on kindle. Numbers will get noticed!
DeleteI am very happy to see this contribution to our Industry, safety can’t just be a word, it is imperative now for the industry to adopt a generative safety culture and stop blaming pilots for human errors when most of the time those errors are consequence of unaddressed human factors.
ReplyDeleteI will be delighted to read your book
Good luck and thanks for your contribution to the aviation community

Aisha, thank you for the comment. So true... safety is more than a work, but should be an action that is taken seriously! I appreciate your support on this, and all you do for safety too!!!
DeleteExperience what is happening around you, as well as understand and tell ... this is the best. congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!!!! I appreciate the way you put this. So true!

ReplyDeleteGreat initiative. May be you could share how non industry related personnel can contribute towards flight safety. I'm sure many would be keen to hear stories you have as well how they could be a part of improvement.
Cheers!
Avinash, Thank you so much for your comment. I think the non-industry people could read this book and realize what's at stake. They could contact their Senators and demand better training and a more proactive safety culture for the airlines.
