11/29/2020 0 Comments Cardinal Aviation Audio Briefings Episode #58 (Gord Stevens: Everyone Is Doing Their Best)
This week we are joined by Gord Stevens for part 2 of our mindfulness series. This series takes on many of the topics that have not been traditionally acceptable to talk about in an effort to shine a light on the human side of aviation. After all, airplanes don't fly themselves, people do. We discuss the power of believing that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and tackle our friend's accident head-on. You have heard about it in our past conversations but today we intentionally dive in to hopefully bring some closure to the topic.

Aviation is a cyclical industry. In 2020 we have gone from having a pilot shortage to a massive surplus with aircraft parked due to COVID19. Pilots who had a relatively easy entry into the aviation industry are for the first time needing to find ways to sell themselves rather than their flight time. Join Owen and Ryan as they talk about the importance of networking and how it is a crucial skill, both when jobs are booming and when they are a bust.
