Image isn't everything

We all, be it consciously or unconsciously, present an image that expresses who we are or who we would like others to think we are. This is determined by the setting you are in. However, there are those who would go above and beyond to present an image far from what they really are, where image does not reflect the substance. In this episode, we explore how image and language can affect outcomes and why image is not always everything. Follow us on Facebook- @cancelledformaintenance, Instagram- @canxformaintenancepodcast.

Standing Out | How to make an amazing write up

Searching for YOU | Finding AMT jobs and pushing past passion

Whether you’re an aspiring aircraft mechanic or a seasoned one, finding AMT/AME jobs can be a daunting task. Finding the right outfit for you, the right pay, the right location, the right circumstances can be a mixed bag of checks and balances.

Back in the Saddle | How to shake off the post-holiday rust

We’ve all experienced the cycle of taking time off for the holidays and/or an extended vacation. Ever notice when said time off is over, everything just feels like a massive blah? You find it hard to focus, recall simple steps, and just generally don’t feel happy about being back at work. What you’re experiencing is the post-holiday slump. This is sometimes countered with some type of “back in the saddle” briefing where employers will “ease” you back into the work mindset, which can sometimes feel more forced than genuine. On this episode, we discuss some ways to help shake off the post-holiday slump and help make work suck less! Follow us on Facebook- @cancelledformaintenance, Instagram- @canxformaintenancepodcast.

Creativity and Craftsmanship | How hobbies can reignite some fading skills

We have talked about some hobbies we have picked up over the course of 2023 in previous episodes, from exploring more fantasy lore, model painting, wood working, and tabletop games. These hobbies have given us an outlet to de-stress and exercise some creative problem solving. We’ve realized that hobbies can help reignite some skills that may have fallen to the wayside since our mechanic school days. For this episode, we explore some fading AMT skills and how creativity outlets can translate to masterful craftsmanship in and out of the workplace.

What am I doing? | Job transitioning and facing your ego

We’ve all been there at some point, either first time getting a job, or transitioning from one job to the next, we come to a moment where we ask, “What am I doing?”. It’s in these moments where we ought to really be cautious, it is when we are the most vulnerable, and it’s the most opportune time for us to have our pride/ego taken advantage of.

S.A.D. again | The "holiday blues" and Aviation ft. Kora the Aviation Therapist

 The holidays are coming up soon and while it is widely dubbed as “the happiest time of the year”, that may not be the case for some of us, especially in the aviation industry. The holidays typically mean longer workdays, overtime requests, bloated workloads, and to top it off, let’s throw in some Seasonal Affective Disorder (that’s right, S.A.D.)! We’re rejoined by Kora the aviation therapist to talk about S.A.D., other holiday blues, and what we can do to alleviate them. We highly encourage you to utilize resources available to you, especially professional resources if the holidays or other circumstances are affecting you. To use resources such as Kora, our guest, you can find her at: Instagram- @aviation.therapist -or- www.flightdeckcommunity.com You can also use the resource Th.AIR.apy, as mentioned on the show at:  Instagram- @th.air.apy -or-  text "CREW" to 833-532-1096.

Emergency Procedures | How to handle a critical situation

We’ve been seeing a rise in near misses, divert emergencies, and general “seat biter” situations. Some of these incidents were very preventable, others were so abrupt it didn’t leave much room to react positively. For today’s episode, we would like to take this opportunity to emphasize emergency procedures. We’ll share some of our “seat biter” moments, our lessons learned, and give some tips to help you in those critical decision scenarios.

Band of Brothers | Why don't aircraft mechanics stand with each other?

We’ve seen instances of high visibility jobs, such as aircrew, stand up for each other and plant their feet when circumstances arise that antagonize them. For aircraft mechanics though, it’s not as present. Some would argue that they don’t stand up for each other and would sooner vote with their feet than band together. Why is that? Today, we share some opinions to maybe spark a discussion to answer this question, and maybe spark an initiative to band together.

Counterfeit Parts | The importance of part inspections

It’s no secret that the aviation industry depends heavily on its supply of parts, however every so often we run into a rash of unauthorized parts, specifically counterfeit parts. There’s been a recent uptick of airlines and other organizations across the aviation industry discovering counterfeit/unauthorized parts either in their bench stock or already installed on aircraft. Today, we want to explore this topic more and delve into what constitutes an unauthorized part, what should we do if we see it, and what can we do to prevent it. We highly recommend visiting your civil air authority's website and look for their unauthorized parts notifications archive and/or their parts manufacturer authorizations to cross check any parts that you may be suspicious or hesitant on.

Pause for Safety | Best practices and how the "dirty dozen" can cascade

It’s beat into all of our heads to the point of numbness, “safety first, safety always”. The world of aviation is full of inherent risks, some we do well to avoid, others we do our best to mitigate. Often times though, safety is blurred for the sake of speed whether we want to admit it or not. Today we explore “the dirty dozen” of aviation safety, how each item among the dozen can cascade into the others, and what steps and tips we can take to maintain a high degree of safety.

Stoicism | How an ancient philosophy can aid you as an AMT

There’s a saying, “leave your feelings at the door”, which sounds easier said than done. Contrary to what some of us believe, we aircraft mechanics are driven by caffeine and (mostly) anger. Today, we explore some of the concepts of stoicism, what it is, and how it can help you in your everyday life both on and off the line.   Follow us on Facebook- @cancelledformaintenance, Instagram- @canxformaintenancepodcast.

Duct tape is OK | What makes things airworthy?

Have you ever seen an aircraft mechanic/engineer “duct taping” aircraft parts together? How about noticing some panels are “missing”? Are these ok to fly and should you be concerned? This has been a recurring topic that’s been cycled around in our non-aviation groups. To the non-versed this may feel like a cause for alarm. So, what does give us aircraft mechanics authority to perform these actions that are perceived to be unsafe, and why is it acceptable?

Butcher's nails | The effects of anger in the workplace and how to manage it

Sometimes anger gets the best of us. They can feel like butcher’s nails, where the longer they stay in, the harder it can be to take them out. Over time, it can rob us of our patience and cause us to lash out in frustration, like telling passengers to be civil after long strings of unruliness. On this episode, we explore the effects of anger in the workplace, why does it happen, and what can we do to mitigate it.

We are back again in the swing of things bringing you an episode after a small, but much needed hiatus. What better way to ring back in the times, than to talk about what it’s currently time for and that is audit season! That’s right, everyone’s “favorite” time of the year. But why DO we perform audits? Is it really necessary? Or is it just to keep people who “can’t do” employed? Follow us on Facebook- @cancelledformaintenance, Instagram- @canxformaintenancepodcast.

Give life a turn! ft. Finding Demo Surf Fishing

Sometimes life gets tired of waiting in line for you to give it its due attention. When this happens, life can cut to the front of the line and demand that you give it.

Take a Moment | Don't forget about yourself!

We have often emphasized on the show that you should take a moment to work on your personal, professional, and family needs. Who would we be if we didn’t try to practice that ourselves? Joining us today is Nine, Six’s wife, and special guest from episode 18! We talk about taking those moments, the struggle of finding that work-life balance, the equal struggle of rediscovering de-stressors, and the understanding that each situation can have its own unique solution.

Sunken Testers | The importance of troubleshooting and testing

We rarely cover crashes and mishaps, mostly because when dire situations like these come up, it’s typically sounded around the land and the horse gets beaten beyond the point of glue. We do, however, want to take this time to emphasize the importance of testing, troubleshooting, and following proper steps to remedy shortfalls and mitigate risks before they escalate into issues which we may not have the wiggle room to escape from. At the time of this recording, the Titan submersible was lost at sea. What sort of lessons can we learn from this incident and apply it to aviation?
