Pilots Wanted

For Career Day! 

My friend Raéd Alexande received an invitation from a Dallas elementary school counselor inviting a few pilots to participate in an online "Career Day" as guests. The event is scheduled for the morning of March 11, 2022 (Central US Time Zone). The 'virtual event' will be run via Zoom. Unfortunately, I will be flying that day so I can't make it. But, these types of events are so much fun for the kids. They are so much fun for those participating too! Raéd needs your help make the day bright for the kids. Help inspire the future of aviation. 

Stated objective: "We want our students to hear about being a pilot."

If you are interested in volunteering some of your valuable time for this inspirational event, please contact Raéd  by emailing him at rayyad@teknikron.com and he will forward the pertinent info to you. 

I hope that you can help out. I'm really sad to be missing it. There is nothing better than inspiring the children! But, I hope that you can make it! Then reach back and tell me how it went. 

Thank you!!

Enjoy the Journey!

WOKE and Pilot Hiring

A Scary Initiative 

United Airlines has announced their goal to employ 50% of their pilots to be female or those of color. Sadly, any airline with this goal is losing sight of the importance of performance. The plane does not care about gender, color, race, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. My requirement is that my fellow pilot can fly, they have the ability to communicate, can think, manage stress, and a good sense of humor helps with those long flights. 

Furthermore, the strides that women and minorities have taken and achieved to obtain their jobs by performance will all be for nothing. We will flash back to the days when it's assumed we were a token employee, and many will be. This is not the way the world should attack diversity in any industry. Especially in an industry that demands safety. The most important aspect of a pilot is their ability not the color of their skin or their gender. 

It's great that we have laws to prevent discrimination, but those laws should protect everyone. If this quota and effort is allowed, then we are discriminating against qualified and competent male pilots. How can that possibly be the right thing to do?

How to Avoid Discrimination

There is one way to ensure that discrimination is non-existent in the airline industry and that is to get rid of managers who have the capacity to differentiate. Each airline should require all managers in every department to take a psychological test to assess their capacity and inclination toward a discriminatory mindset, and remove them from any leadership role or pilot hiring involvement. Remove those people who discriminate and this will ensure that the best candidate is employed. 

United Airlines, you are an inspiring and forward thinking airline, but this is not the best thing to do for so many reasons. You should remove your managers who discriminate and employ the most qualified applicant. 

I'm wondering if this is another means in which the the industry officials are intentionally weakening the pilot force to support their cause for an automation takeover. This is not an assertion that women and those of color are not the best candidates. If they are employed for their abilities then they are the best. Make that happen! 

It's difficult to believe that anyone thinks this is a good idea. If we continue as a society that differentiates people based upon qualities that don't matter, we will perpetuate discrimination into the minds and hearts of our children forever. This will never end. Isn't it time we just behave as good humans with a brain that understands we are all equal and should have the same opportunities as everyone else?  

My vote it's time to end this language and simply wake up. 

What do you think?

Medical Fraud in the Airline Industry

Time to Fight Back! 

Dr. David B. Altman

What I know to be true is that Dr. David B. Altman forfeited his medical license to avoid prosecution by the Illinois Medical Board for his activities. He is currently being sued for ten million dollars for fraud. What I also know to be true is he sold a medically disqualifying diagnosis for just under $74,000 to remove a pilot without actually performing an authentic evaluation. 

Inspired by true events. In the novel Flight For Discovery Dr. Wood's corruption is exposed. Captain Darby Bradshaw and her attorney Robert Allen discover the dirty details of how Global Air Lines' Labor Relations attorney Joe Wolfe and Dr. Wood created a strategy to permanently remove her from flight. 

Darby learned that a month prior to her evaluation with Dr. Wood, that he met with attorney Joe Wolfe and Darby's Chief Pilot, Robert Dodson, in a covert meeting in hotel room in Chicago Illinois for 10.5 hours, as they plotted for the destruction of Darby's life. Wait until you read what Darby acquired in discovery and the depth of corruption from Global Air Lines in their effort to remove her. 

Truth be told, the documents that Darby received in Flight For Discovery are the very same documents that came from the real Dr. Altman in his effort to remove a pilot. If you're interested in knowing the details...

Flight For Discovery...

A Journey Worth Traveling 

Time Is Running Out For Aviation Worldwide! 

In Flight For Sanity, Darby Bradshaw was forced into an abusive psychiatric evaluation for reporting safety. At the time, there was no way she could have known that the very managers she reported to were not only aware of the issues, but intentionally created the shortcomings in training, violated federal regulations, and induced fatigue driven flight with a goal in mind. They had to silence her. In Flight For Truth, Darby fought her way back into the flight deck. Not an easy task with a bought-and-paid-for bipolar diagnosis. This fight was more than for her survival, but for that of an industry and the pilot profession. 

Now, Darby finds herself in the second battle of her life. The pursuit of justice. The debate is still open between which is more painful... fighting for her sanity or fighting for justice. As she uncovers corruption during discovery and learns of the shear ignorance of those she is fighting in management, Darby realizes that passenger safety is in more jeopardy than she could ever imagine. What the reader learns is how far airline management will go, how much power they wield, and that the pilot job is in grave danger of extinction. 

There is no way Global Air Lines will go to court to fight an indefensible case, is there? This is a fight between good and evil, right and wrong, and the future of the aviation as we know it. The truth is exposed in Flight For Discovery, a journey you won't want to miss.

When Truth is Free!

 This gift is for you! 

Flight For Truth

Corruption runs deep within the airline industry when Captain Darby Bradshaw is grounded and forced into a psychiatric evaluation in response to reporting safety concerns to senior leadership at Global Air Lines. What she doesn’t know is that her removal is nothing short of a conspiracy to silence her safety concerns. Privatization of ATC, approval of drone operated commercial aircraft, short-cutting training, and the untimely crash of a Boeing 737 MAX are all tied to Darby’s report. 

Her resultant research is about to uncover the truth. How high does this go? All the way to the White House. Not even her friends FAA Manager Kathryn Jacobs, DOT Secretary John McAllister, or Psychiatrist Linda Madden, can do anything to help her. The question is—can she save herself? 

In pursuit of truth...a story that must be read before the next in the series. And I'm giving this to you for free this week!

Flight For Discovery

 The Next Novel in the Series is on Short Final! 

The battle continues as Global Air Lines underestimates Captain Darby Bradshaw. 

Despite management paying for a bipolar diagnosis to medically disqualify Darby from ever flying again, she returns to the sky. Now she fights for justice. Darby filed an AIR21 complaint, under the Whistleblower protection act, and aligned forces with attorney Robert Allen. What they learn in discovery uncovers more deception at the highest levels than anyone could ever imagine. The plot thickens when the second MAX crashes, ASAP reports are at an all-time high, and the FAA, airline executives, and manufacturers are making deals in blood. With what Darby and Robert learn, there is no way Global Air Lines will take this to trial—or is there? This is the sixth in the "Flight For" series where truth is scarier than fiction. 

Could the pilot job and passenger safety 

be in jeopardy? You decide!

Coming soon!!!
