| 23 Dec 2022 | Meritorious Performance | 01:08:55 | |
Winter is here, which means the end of the year is upon us, AND it means end of year review time! This is where you find out if you’ve met all your goals for the year, where managers get to pine for hours on performance evaluations, and when bean counters crunch the numbers to see what bonuses can be doled out. End-of-year reviews can sometimes be very uninformative, disappointing, or downright insulting. Today we share some of our experiences receiving and writing end-of-year reviews, plus some things you can do to alleviate the bad ones and capitalize on the good ones.

| 27 Jan 2023 | Digitization | Transitioning from analog to digital | 00:41:29 | |
We are living in a digital world, but is it all that it is cracked up to be? There’s definitely a plethora of pros that come with going fully digital, but there are some areas in aviation that are still, for lack of better words, lagging behind in the transition. Today we talk about what are some of the positives of going fully digital, and some of the abrasions of why it’s not so great.

| 17 Sep 2021 | LAME statistics | 01:01:41 | |
We take a quick break from some of our usual antics and share some forecasts on the future of our industry. We cite some snippits of history about aviation, how the trade became popular, and share an article from CASA, our Australian counterpart to the FAA. COVID-19 has put a serious pause on most industries, some harder than others. The forecast for aviation, trades in general, is looking very positive, with newer opportunities being offered which most of us didn't have the privilege of knowing. If working in the aviation industry has been a dream of yours or a passing thought, this may be the year to experiment while most companies within the aviation world are looking for ways to fulfill the upcoming demand for technicians and specialists!

| 04 Dec 2020 | Shady Fixes | 00:44:50 | |
In some cases, the end justifies the means. It’s instances like this where most “get it done” actions are performed and get overlooked or waived. However, “one-time actions” slowly turn into the new normal which can spell disaster if it continues to be practiced. No operation is worth continually glossing over procedures.

| 03 Sep 2021 | Episode 50!! Where we are now | 00:39:53 | |
We've made it to our 50th episode and our 1-year podcast anniversary! We seriously couldn't have done any of it without you, our listeners, supporters, and Patrons! When we began this podcast, it was an abstract idea and a wild shot in the dark at best. We've said it time and time again, but we really can't stress it enough, we started this podcast to highlight some of the gross underbelly of the little known lives of aircraft maintainers/specialists. It has evolved from a pseudo-therapy session between co-workers of ours and has expanded into widely known show, which we ourselves didn't know how far we could go! We take this time to reflect on some of the obstacles we've overcome, where we are now, and where we plan on going. Vote for us on the first ever Veteran Podcast Awards! We are in 3 categories- Leisure, Best Marine Corps, and Best Overall! Voting is open until September 18th. Please check out some of our friends, who are also contestants on the Veteran Podcast Awards- Women With an Effed Up Mind (IG- @_itseffedup), Kruse Corner (IG-@kruse_corner), and the Nonprofit Architect (IG-@nonprofitarchitect).

| 12 Aug 2022 | Theory of Knowledge | 00:50:12 | |
Today, we're diving a little bit into the Quality Assurance realm. We go into the continuous improvement process, what goes into preventative action and the biases of ignoring objective evidence because they may not exactly align with your current beliefs or agenda. This theory of knowledge was coined and best made famous by W. Edwards Deming, an engineer and statistician, who is responsible for most of the quality assurance concepts we practice today.

| 06 Nov 2020 | It's Not the Training, It's About the Message (feat. Cookies and Cream) | 01:05:03 | |
In every form of work, there is some form of training. Typically this is done by a mentor or an instructor, but what do you do when there’s neither a trainer nor a budget? Training then becomes a matter of legality from “read & signs” to “death by power point”. On-the-job training is meant to bridge the knowledge gaps left from technical schools. When on-the-job training is left up to a power point slide, is it really about the training, or sending a message? We are joined today with Cookies and Cream, two aspiring avionics technicians who are currently going through their required technician courses. Join us as they share some of the experiences of going into the aviation community with zero experience, going through the required courses, and how some of the training gets glossed over to save time.

| 19 Apr 2024 | Manuals Madness | Are manual subscriptions a safety issue? | 00:47:09 | |
We’ve stressed throughout our podcast that every bit of aircraft maintenance should be done in accordance with the proper maintenance manuals. We’ve further stressed that not following procedures via the manuals can lead to severe repercussions up to but not limited to losing your certification and/or causing a catastrophic incident. But what if you don’t have updated manuals, or worst yet you don’t have access to them because they are too expensive for you to get it?

| 11 Jun 2021 | Work Stereotypes (feat. Dick Talk & Mimosas) | 01:13:28 | |
Whether you acknowledge it or not, every work place has a stereotype in regards to gender, sexual orientation & identification, and culture. The age old stigma of "men tend the fields and women tend the house" is alive and well even to this day. It's almost understood as going against the grain if men were to do jobs such as nursing or baking, likewise if women are mechanics or join the military. We are joined once again with Ana, Jennifer, and Amanda, the hosts of the Dick Talk & Mimosas podcast to discuss some of the assumptions of gender and sexual orientation/identification in the workplace and why it continues to persist. Dick Talk & Mimosas is a podcast where these lovely ladies talk about everything from felines to fetishes, all over mimosas! Check out more from Dick Talk & Mimosas at: Do you like this episode?

| 04 Mar 2022 | Winged Monstrosities | 00:51:43 | |
We have all seen our share of airframes that made us scratch our heads and ask, “who designed this thing?”. These airframes, however, have correctable flaws or tolerable flaws. For today’s episode, we explore an article by BBC which covers planes that were so poorly designed, they should have never made it off the drawing board. From nine-winged aircraft to aircraft with engines that rotate around the crankshaft, these hoopties are more than just lemons, they are design monstrosities. **Do you know of other aircraft that should not have made it to production?

| 05 Aug 2022 | Standardize the Industry continued | 00:50:55 | |
In our last episode, we talked about the age-old question of whether aircraft mechanics/aircraft maintenance technicians were skilled or unskilled. After citing an article published by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association, it’s been highlighted, at least to us, that AMTs/AMEs are in fact considered skilled labor, but it also showed some of the convoluted ways our professional occupation is coded. Today, we’re going to take a dive and see what some of the codes are, what they say about their occupation, and talk about some of the numbers they project for that occupation, if any.

| 15 Jan 2021 | Everybody's Working for the Weekend (feat. Bubbles) | 00:55:55 | |
Almost every public/customer service industry is ran 24/7. As convenient it is to us as a customer, there is always a group of people who get fucked out of their time off. In some cases, these overtime workdays are preventable. Our special guest Bubbles, associate director of a non-profit organization that houses unfortunate youths, returns for a third time to share some of her stories of shift shortages and micro-management.

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.

We’ve all at one point in time felt that we are undeserving of some of our achievements, often shrugging them off and calling it sheer dumb luck or just dovetailing off someone else’s hard work. Sometimes these notions are inherent with the competitive and perfectionist nature of our industries. Today, we explore why we feel this way, how do we recognize them in ourselves and others, and what we can do to overcome them.

| 29 Apr 2022 | The NTSB Investigative Process | 00:38:14 | |
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency that investigates every civil aviation incident in the United States. The analyze probable cause to incidents and recommend safety actions to prevent mishaps from happening. It's fair to say when NTSB representatives show up on site, everyone's anxiety level goes up, especially if you are going to be an involved party during an investigation. We'll touch on the overall process the NTSB uses and what you as a mechanic should know and do about it. Would like to read more about the article we used for this episode?

| 22 Oct 2021 | Supersonic: The Headge Fund Plane | 00:50:51 | |
The need for speed is what makes us continue to push the limits of machines and science. Supersonic flight has its own share of challenges from materials, fuel economy, environmental impacts, and high maintenance costs. Let's not forget to mention the current and standing ban of flying supersonic over land. Why is this so, and will new innovations currently in the works be our solution to these challenges? What other challenges would we incur for having commercial planes fly supersonic? Want to read more about supersonic flight or see the articles we used? Visit: Do you like this episode?

Have you ever worked in a humid/moisture heavy environment? If you have, you’d know that corrosion is one of the most constant, ongoing battles you face every day. Corrosion is one of those aspects that can get away from you very fast if you don’t exercise proper treatment and preventative measures. If it shines, it has a high chance of corrosion. On this episode we explore some the instances that could cause corrosion, our experiences with it, and some ways to prevent it.

| 04 Jun 2021 | Why Do People Lie? (feat. Dick Talk & Mimosas) | 01:14:19 | |
There are many reasons why people lie, some for image reasons, some to stay out of trouble, and some of which are to yourself. On this very special episode (our third ever podcast collaboration), out of the box episode, we are joined by Ana, Jennifer, and Amanda, the hosts of the Dick Talk & Mimosas podcast to discuss exactly why do people lie. This episode is NOT safe for work or your kids. Will consist of a lot of laughs, blushing, tea spilling. Not recommended for those who are sensitive to expletives, and, well, "dick talk". Dick Talk & Mimosas is a podcast where these lovely ladies talk about everything from felines to fetishes, all over mimosas! Check out more from Dick Talk & Mimosas at: Do you like this episode?

Things break, sometimes things break hard, but not all incidents are treated equal. Life isn’t easy being the one to answer for an incident, it’s even worse when you have to answer for it when someone dumps it on your lap. The blame game is on.

| 18 Mar 2022 | Oh Snap to Mishaps | 00:57:06 | |
In the aviation industry, some tasks feel very repetitive, tedious, convoluted, and even boring. These very mundane-seeming tasks lead us to get complacent and sometimes skip over their completion because of how superfluous they seem. When complacency sets in, that’s when mishaps occur. Today, we review two released incident reports from the US Air Force, as requested by some of our patrons, and explore how two seemingly mundane tasks can lead to millions of dollars in damage and almost resulted in loss of life. Some information have been oversimplified to preserve controlled information. **Do you have a maintenance-related mishap story?

| 01 Oct 2021 | CANN Do! | 01:03:28 | |
Cannibalizations are a widely used aviation practice to bridge the supply gap to fulfill operation requirements. For today's episode, we review a report filed by the General Accounting Office (GAO) about how cannibalizations can adversely affect aviation personnel AND maintenance. We've all, at one point, have done CANNs to make a plane flyable, some at the expense of another aircraft because of operational pressures and revenue. What happens when these "quick fixes" get repeatedly used and then go underreported, or worse, unreported? Do you like this episode?

Some of us, across all industries, have been unfortunately without work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us have had to adapt to both work and personnel shortages. As things however start ramping back up and returning to a semi-normal pace, industries are feeling the backlash of doing more with less. Some organizations have been able to adjust, while others are grinding gears to build momentum from being idle for an extended period of time. Do you like this episode?

| 13 Aug 2021 | Tinnitus Has a Nice Ring to It | 00:31:13 | |
Almost anything aviation related has its share of noise hazards. Some occupations have nothing but noise hazards. These occupations would most assuredly have signs, posters, and other forms of media that advise you to preserve your sense of hearing and wear appropriate protective equipment. Do we actually use them? Every shop has those individuals who scoff at the notion due to their already lacking sense of hearing. Did you know that hearing loss can tie into other parts of your body and manifest itself into other physiological issues? How much is your hearing (or health in general) worth?

| 14 Jul 2023 | Sunken Testers | The importance of troubleshooting and testing | 00:52:14 | |
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.

| 03 Dec 2021 | Self-Medication | 00:43:03 | |
There is a large emphasis on aircrew (i.e. pilots, flight attendants, and so forth) performance, error, and medication use. For aircraft mechanics and ground technicians however, these lines are blurred, almost flagrantly ignored for the sake of continuous operations. When is it ok to self-medicate, what are some alternatives, and when would it pose a problem? Do you like this episode?

| 15 Mar 2024 | Image isn't everything | 00:46:31 | |
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.

It’s time to grab your crystal balls and six-sided dice! Today we’re talking about an initiative that’s slowly gaining more speed and popularity, predictive maintenance.

| 31 Mar 2023 | TQM | What is it and how can it help? | 00:53:12 | |
Total quality management (TQM) has a history that dates back to the 1920s, took root in Japan, and has been a driving framework for what we do today. It has led to the expansion of quality concepts and standards which have evolved to encompass virtually every industry. For today’s episode, we explore some of the principles and implications of the TQM philosophy, how some might need some reemphasis, and how they can be applied.

| 30 Oct 2020 | Ain't Nothin' but a QA Thing! | 00:48:59 | |
Their sole mission is to prevent the occurrence of defects. They do the job that no one likes to do but have fun doing it. They are the first ones to bitch you out and make you do all the dumb shit “legally”. They are the most nit-picky, never satisfied, overly dramatic, first to shut down ops and pull your certs. They are Quality Assurance representatives. It ain’t easy being one of the most hated entities in the aviation world, but one thing’s for sure, it ain’t nothing but a QA thing.

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.

| 22 Jul 2022 | Standardize the Industry | 00:54:00 | |
You’ve heard us mentioning on many episodes that aircraft mechanics here in the US are labeled as “unskilled labor”. We have had so many questions about that, so we’ve decided to do an episode about exploring why that is. This article we are citing comes from the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association and from various other organizations which are diligently trying to dispel the misconceptions of aircraft mechanics and technicians. **What do you think could help standardize our occupations and industry?

| 15 Oct 2021 | Survival of The Biased | 00:43:30 | |
We as humans tend to not focus on the “losers” and “failures” in life. Much, if not all of our focus is on “winners”, “against all odds” stories, things we can see, and things that make us feel good. This distorted view seeing only successes is called “survivorship bias”. Today we explore yet another article about what goes into survivorship bias and how it affects every aspect of our life.

| 26 Jul 2024 | Decline of Humanization | How the lack of empathy communication plague the aircraft maintenance industry | 00:37:25 | |
In this episode, we share a dissertation focusing on the mental health obstacles encountered by aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs), highlighting the impact of insufficient acknowledgment and ineffective leadership on their job satisfaction. We will delve into the pressing requirement for well-being programs designed specifically for maintenance staff, emphasizing enhanced communication, financial rewards, and improved compensation to address high turnover rates and mental health concerns.

We’ve all, at multiple points in time, have suffered from burn out and non-recognition for our work. What could be worse is having recognition be so impersonal or so common it loses its value.

You may have heard us talk about it throughout most of our episodes, punctuality is one of the most critical characteristics of the aviation industry. It goes by different names, but On-time performance (OTP) is how punctuality is measured. What is it though? Why is it important, and why does it play a huge role in the execution of aircraft maintenance activities? Follow us on Facebook- @cancelledformaintenance, Instagram- @canxformaintenancepodcast.

| 05 Nov 2021 | Systemic Issues | 00:58:57 | |
In December of 2020, the National Commission on Military Aviation Safety published a report citing root causes to the thousands of military aviation mishaps. The five-year study of this report recounts some of the leading causes which include inadequately trained aircrew and maintainers, aggressive operations tempo, overworked maintainers, and unpredictable budgets. Although this article focuses on the military, many of these root causes are systemic to almost every other aviation industry from commercial to contractual. What can be done to mitigate the current problems and what can be done to prevent them from happening again? Want to read more about the article we used? Visit: Do you like this episode?

| 08 Sep 2023 | Duct tape is OK | What makes things airworthy? | 00:55:15 | |
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?

| 30 Apr 2021 | Angry Oodles of Noodles (feat. La Coyote!) | 00:52:03 | |
Almost all aircraft problems can trace itself back to its electronics. Despite what you may think, the technology that keeps a plane’s magic going is OLDER than it seems. These fixes are also much harder than they seem and involve such adventures as untangling years’ worth of neglected wires. Avionics troubleshooting, modifications, and upgrades require a deep level of skill and understanding. We are joined by La Coyote, a former Marine aircraft mechanic, who's recently transitioned into an avionics technician and shares with us some of the common gripes, pains, and attention to detail involved with aircraft electronics. Being an avionics technician typically involves being a pseudo-engineer, and having a good understanding of schematics. We mechanics tend to make fun of avionics technicians for their lack of grease soaked work clothes and their nerdy disposition. When it comes down to it, avionics is the way of the future and it's no wonder they have more longevity than an average wrench turner.

| 23 Oct 2020 | Sloooooow It Down (ft. Arabia) | 01:00:19 | |
In today’s world, it’s all about speed and intensity, however revving the red line and going full throttle will eventually break down even the most committed person. Even the most dedicated routine or process needs a rest day or de-load day. These small breaks and reassessment steps can mean the difference between success and a catastrophic breakdown. When living in the fast lane, sometimes you just have to sloooow it down. We are joined with special guest Arabia Essence, a naval officer and actress, who shares with us how she manages her busy schedule and prevents herself from being stretched too thin. Arabia Essence is a graduate of the US Naval Academy, was featured in Vogue Magazine, has been named Best Actress of 2020 by Black SD Magazine, and is board member to major groups such as MenTorch and the Naval Academy Minorities Association.

| 21 May 2021 | You're Only Human! | 00:43:55 | |
Despite what many individuals and organizations think, aviation mechanics are neither magicians nor machines. The constant beat down of operations tempo can wear out even the most dedicated worker. This can lead to mistakes, slip ups, shortcuts, omissions, and mishaps. Work burnout is a real thing; it's a psychological syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and reduced personal accomplishment. Some may confuse burnout with depression, which is understandable since they have similar symptoms. Burnout can and does lead to depression. In some places, we glorify the burnout (i.e. we pride ourselves in being overworked), like it's a badge of pride. On this episode, we explore how that mindset is developed and how that can have serious implications. Do you like this episode?

| 26 Mar 2021 | All about that Phase (Bout That Phase), No Support! | 00:47:38 | |
Phases, home station checks, and other periodic maintenance inspections are VITAL to maintain the lifespan of an aircraft. Despite this, many senior level officials will gloss over these inspections for the sake of having the plane back into its operation cycle. Actions like these can result in a best-case scenario of turning into hangar queens or worst case a catastrophic failure. Periodic maintenance inspections have a pre-planned schedule, however the planned vs actual inspection completion varies directly with the condition of the aircraft prior to the execution of it's planned maintenance interval. In almost every case, for the sake of continued operation, discrepancies are deferred until its next periodic maintenance plan. Again however, for the sake of operations, thorough periodic maintenance actions are rushed in order to have the aircraft back into service. Do you like this episode?

When there’s work to be done, the job can consume you. Sometimes however, we find ourselves rushing to the stop sign. When these uncommon but inevitable moments occur, the demand for superfluous tasks begin to rise. In times of too much "white space", you would think some refresher training or practical applications would be ideal. That may be the case on some occasions, however more often than you would think, these moments of free time is spent doing menial tasks that "had to be done" or just a way to keep you busy. Others see this time as a way to express their "creativity" by coming up with ways to relieve the boredom. You can't expect too many good things when skilled individuals are left with nothing to do.

| 25 Sep 2020 | Sh*t Ain't Done, Till the Paperwork's Done (feat. Jasmine) | 01:08:43 | |
Nobody likes to do paperwork, its tedious, monotonous, and sometimes take forever to complete. Anyone who’s anyone in aviation will tell you, paperwork means everything, especially when it’s time for an audit. Everyone who’s had to do it, hates their life for it, and especially hates those who can’t do it right. From work history to flights, everything rides on paperwork. Shit aint done, until the paperwork’s done! With special guest Jasmine, a veteran logs and records chief and a multi-award recipient for records, we recount those times when records are totally screwed up to why paperwork is such an integral part of the aviation industry. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | |||

| 12 Nov 2021 | Blast from the Present | 00:48:59 | |
To say the pandemic has affected us and industries across the world would be an understatement. We’ve all been in one way, shape, or form been disrupted by COVID-19. Some industries had to shut down, some had to shut down for good, and some were lucky enough to operate but at a limited capacity. As industries slowly start to recover, aviation especially has some key challenges that it will need to navigate through. We take a look at a recent article of some of those new realities airlines face and possible solutions of how they could fix it. Want to read more about the article we cited?

We’ve all at one point or another criticized our leadership. A fair amount of those times was during a stressful situation and their decisions weren’t meeting the demand. Attitudes and mindsets change when you’re the one placed in the “hot seat” however. Being the person in charge, or better yet, the “acting” person in charge can be very tense, where vital decisions need to be made fast with little to no context to base them from. In some cases, these moments of leadership are temporary, with you being used as a scapegoat in times of duress, so more toxic and “capable” leaders can save face and preserve their image.

| 25 Aug 2023 | Butcher's nails | The effects of anger in the workplace and how to manage it | 00:54:30 | |
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.

What's your go-to ritual or practice before a major event? Pre-game puke? Nice cup of coffee? How about a good stretch and jamming out to your favorite tunes (or podcast)? Whatever form it takes, we have those habits that help ready us for the oncoming venture. Some habits are positive and empower us to brave the storm, giving us some sense of courage and invulnerability. Other habits are negative and perpetuate a shitty situation, no matter the size of impact it really is. On this episode, we discuss some of our "pre-game" rituals, both good and bad, that helps us take on whatever fresh hell is thrown our way. Do you like this episode?
