  • Why Ignoring DEI Is Aviation’s Biggest Safety Risk with Kathryn Creedy
    2025/07/24
    In this episode, host Shaesta Waiz speaks with Kathryn Creedy—veteran aviation journalist and advocate for workforce equity—about the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in aviation and its consequences. Creedy draws on decades of reporting and personal experience to challenge misconceptions about DEI, highlight the business case for inclusion, and explore how cultural resistance, policy rollback, and outdated work rules threaten both profitability and safety. They discuss the power of community among women in aviation, the emerging demands of younger generations for work–life balance, and the imperative for leaders to move beyond lip service to real, systemic change. Major Themes & Concepts DEI as equal opportunity, not special treatment or racial programs Business benefits of diversity: innovation, market nuance, profitability Cultural inertia and the “old boys’ network” as barriers to real inclusion The critical role of women’s micro‑communities Mentorship in navigating that culture Shifts driven by Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha Aviation’s competition with trades for talent pipelines The need for early CTE partnerships Safety implications of outdated aeromedical policies and workforce stress Window‑dressing vs. genuine, bottom‑line‑driven commitment Chapter Breakdown 00:00 | Intro: The Cost of Ignoring DEI 01:31 | Kathryn’s Background & Advocacy 03:07 | Why DEI Rollbacks Fail 05:13 | Women’s Gains & Pushback 08:09 | What DEI Really Means 10:23 | The Diversity Dividend 12:04 | Culture & Economic Backlash 15:42 | Why So Few Women AMTs? 18:41 | Strength in Community 21:32 | Rethinking Work–Life Balance 24:03 | Next‑Gen Talent Pipelines 26:50 | Safety & Mental Health Reform 29:28 | Leaders: Lip Service vs. Action 33:08 | Closing: A Call to Change Follow ⁠Kathryn Creedy LinkedIn: ⁠Kathryn Creedy⁠ Follow Shaesta Waiz Website:⁠ shaestawaiz.com⁠ LinkedIn:⁠ Shaesta Waiz⁠ Instagram:⁠ @shaesta.waiz⁠ TikTok:⁠ @shaestawaiz⁠ ⁠Shaesta Waiz on YouTube⁠ ⁠YouTube (Aviate Platform)⁠ Production, Distribution, and Marketing By Massif Studio & Production & The Tallawah Group ⁠www.massifsp.com⁠ LinkedIn:⁠ Massif Studio & Production⁠ Website:⁠ www.TallawahWorldwide.com⁠ LinkedIn:⁠ The Tallawah Group⁠ For inquiries about sponsoring the podcast, email hello@MassifKroo.com.

    2025/07/07
    In this episode, host Shaesta Waiz speaks with Mervat Sultan—founder of Ramjet Aviation Services and President of the Women in Aviation Middle East Chapter—about how intentional leadership, structured mentorship, and policy support have transformed a handful of members into a 1,000-strong network and the largest women-in-aviation conference in the Arab world.

    2025/06/19
    In this powerful conversation, host Shaesta Waiz speaks with Retired Lt. Col. Olga E. Custodio, the first Latina to fly for the United States Air Force and later, the first Latina commercial airline captain in the U.S. Olga shares the deeply personal and professional journey behind her groundbreaking aviation career—one that began after starting a family, not before. Together, they unpack cultural norms, leadership, and the rollback of DEI initiatives in today’s aviation climate. Olga discusses how women—especially Latinas—can stand firm in spaces where they don’t yet see themselves reflected, and why now is the time to preserve and elevate our stories, even as others try to erase them. This episode is a masterclass in persistence, purpose, and public service.
