Bonus Podcast#4: FAA launches program to voice concerns. Does this include mechanics?

In this quick, Bonus Podcast I am giving my .02$ and detailing the contradicting information of a new program released by the FAA. On June 21,2021 the FAA announced a new "Reform mandate" called 'The Voluntary Safety Reporting Program' - a confidential "non-punitive" program that encourages open reporting of aviation safety issues and concerns. This was pushed by congress to address the two B737 MAX aircraft which crashed within 5 months of each other. BUT does this reporting program also include aircraft mechanics or is it simply a gimmick to protect themselves and aircraft manufactures? Any why does the information contradict itself? Get my take on this new program, tune in! *Was a little under the weather when recording this FYI* Do you have questions, thoughts, concerns or want to share YOUR stories and experiences live on the podcast?
