Kathryn Creedy is an award-winning journalist who has been covering the aviation industry since 1980, and for the past five years has focused on pilots and workforce issues. Kathryn has been on the pilot shortage story like few others and has some strong views on the long tail impacts from the shortage. Our conversation is something you may want to replay to catch all her ideas. Bigger aircraft, single-pilot and unmanned aircraft. Lots to think about here.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
