Peter Duffey is the President and CEO of the Canadian Air Traffic Controllers Association. He joins us to discuss how Nav Canada and the various Unions representing its employees have come together to quickly put in aggressive measures to ensure the safety of all the Air Traffic Service employees and the continued operation of Canada's airspace.
Peter is an airline pilot that has seen his un-fair share of aviation downturns. He experienced the 1990 Recession, September 11th and has been laid off from his job due to COVID19. He shares his insights and tips for weathering the storm in a time when so many aspiring commercial pilots may be second-guessing their career choice.
He was the youngest person to fly around the world then was involved in a horrific plane crash that left him a paraplegic. He has since beaten all odds and as a paraplegic earned his helicopter pilot license and dedicates his life to speaking about living a life of adventure and overcoming adversity. We discuss the accident as well as the power of the community and its impact on his recovery. (Part 1 of 2)

This is true in every industry including aviation. The Internet gives us an outlet to share our thoughts, ideas and opinions and for those that are open to learning, a place to consume the ideas and absorb the experience of others. Over the past several years I have had the privilege to get to know and work professionally with some fascinating aviators that are dedicated to sharing their passion and ideas with those who are interested and hungry for knowledge, a dose of reality and perhaps a little entertainment. In the intrest of continued learning, here are a few intriguing aviators that I follow and I think you should too. Jason Miller
