In this month's Patreon-exclusive episode of Take to the Sky: the Air Disaster Podcast, Stephanie tells the story of Air Canada Flight 621 and how its flight crew's shared decision-making led not just to tragedy but to the unveiling of a culture divided on what safety should look like in the air.Sources consulted for this story:
