Why are people fearful of bringing up bad news? Is it safe and worth it to speak up? Join Ed for a thoughtful discussion on workplace culture with author Stephen “Shed” Shedletzky. Shed is the author of SPEAK-UP CULTURE – When Leaders Truly Listen People Step Up.

After the harrowing incident occurring on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, and the many developments that have followed since, Ed Pierson talks first person.

Join Ed and his guests, Michael Stumo and Joe Jacobsen, as they discuss the status of the FAA Reauthorization Act and why Congress must incorporate nine recommendations from families of crash victims.

Ed is joined by Doug Pasternak, former Director of Investigations and Oversight for the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Mr. Pasternak led the committee's 18 month long investigation into the Boeing 737 MAX airplanes after two crashes resulted in the deaths of 346 people.

Ed welcomes former Boeing and FAA engineer Mike Dostert as they cover a wide range of topics including compliance issues and the systemic erosion of safety, regulatory oversight, and business culture, in a sector which may have lost its way.

Ed welcomes Paul Njoroge, a Canadian financial advisor who tragically lost his family in the 2nd MAX crash. Paul and Ed discuss the failures of corporate leadership by Boeing’s Board of Directors that contributed to the MAX disasters.

Ed welcomes distinguished Captain Dennis Tajer, a 737 pilot with more than 30 years aviation experience including military service. Captain Tajer presently flies the 737 MAX airplane. Highly respected in the industry, Capt. Tajer is also the Communication Chair for the Allied Pilots Association representing over 15,000 American Airlines pilots.

Ed welcomes Michael Stumo, who lost his 24 year old daughter Samya on the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash. Michael shares the ongoing battle victim family members are waging to prevent another disaster and their response to an invitation by Congress to have specific input into the 2023 FAA Reauthorization Bill.
