SUN 'n FUN with the Blue Angels, Becoming FAA Administrator, and Guest Jonas Murby discusses the aviation mechanic shortage

Uplink with Shaesta Waiz & Michael Wildes

Did you go to Sun 'n Fun? What goes into a Blue Angels performance? Why is there still an aviation mechanic shortage, and how can we fix it? Do you really need to be a pilot to be FAA Administrator? This week on Uplink, we dive into ALL this. Also, Shaesta and Michael discuss the recent kerfuffle in the search for a new FAA Administrator after President Biden’s pick to head the FAA, Phil Washington, withdrew his nomination. We have some ideas about who the next pick might be.

Our guest this week is Jonas Murby, who joins us to discuss the aviation mechanic shortage. He is a Principal at AeroDynamic Advisory. a specialty consulting firm focused on the global aerospace and aviation industries. He has 17 years of experience, including more than 50 consulting engagements for leading aviation and aerospace companies across the globe. Previously, Jonas founded Merxcell, a boutique consultancy focusing on industrial marketing in the aerospace sector. Earlier, Jonas was a Principal with ICF (formerly AeroStrategy) in the United States, where he assisted a global set of MROs, OEMs, and investors with market analysis, market strategy, transaction support, and customer satisfaction.
