Episode 84 | Future Aviation Aerospace Workforce | Kathryn Creedy

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll probably remember at least one aviation downturn. Maybe two or three. In fact, we could probably figure out how long you’ve been in the industry, in decades, based on how many you’ve seen. This’ll be my third... In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in one again. Sure, it looks a lot different than downturns of years passed. But the big question, right after you figure out what the heck you’re going to do while things are down, is how you’re going to position yourself for the upswing. And yes, as bleak as things often look, there WILL be an upside. We just never exactly know when. I don’t have a crystal ball. Nobody does. Not even the old guy with the expensive suit you saw on CNBC. I mean, sure, he sounds like he does, but he doesn’t. The one thing that guy does have though, is some pretty good market research to go off of. But that takes armies of people who make it their business to collect and analyze data, and we don’t often get to see it raw, and even if we did, I’m not sure we’d really know how to interpret it. But… What if there was a really user friendly place to get industry news that covers things like: ATC, dispatch, data analysis, aircraft and interior design and engineering, IT and cybersecurity. And what about if the source made a solid effort to connect different parts of industry to each other in ways not covered before. And what if this source made an effort to inform you about specific actionable things that can be done at all levels to raise the visibility of the opportunities existing in aviation and aerospace for well-paid, challenging and critical jobs? Jobs that can give Silicon Valley and others a run for their money any day. Cool stuff that kids might want to do like: unmanned systems, advanced air mobility, aviation innovation incubators, commercial space, environmental issues, changing powerplant technology and connected aircraft. I’d read it. And I’d definitely do a podcast about it too… So here it is! -Brandon Future Aviation Aerospace Workforce  PlaneEnglish ATC Simulator - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: https://www.patreon.com/podcastingonaplane Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/BravoGolf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastingonaplane/ Twitter: podcastonaplane Website: www.podcastingonaplane.com Music by: Danijel Zambo Make sure to use good equipment!
