EP.140

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Michael sits down with veteran aviators Captain Dan Hanley and Captain Doug Green for a candid conversation about aviation safety, whistleblowing, and institutional accountability. Both guests share their professional histories from military and commercial flying to international airline operations and describe the personal and career consequences they say followed after raising safety and security concerns.

The conversation explores the guests’ criticisms of regulatory agencies, airline unions, corporate safety culture, pilot fatigue protections, maintenance oversight, and the whistleblower process. Hanley and Green also introduce WAPA, the Whistleblowing Airline Pilots Association, which they say is designed to help aviation professionals bring alleged safety concerns to the public.
