You Can’t Fly Without Us

The World of Aviation Maintenance

“You Can’t Fly Without Us: The World of Aviation Maintenance” is a documentary produced by ARSA.  The film was developed as part of the Leading Edge video series, which is hosted by former football coach and sports broadcaster Jimmy Johnson and distributed to public television stations in all 50 states.

Filmed on location at ARSA member facilities, “You Can’t Fly Without Us” is a valuable tool to educate key audiences about repair stations. In the seven-minute video, industry experts including former National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Mark Rosenker, CAVOK Vice President Chris Doan, ARSA Executive Vice President Christian Klein, and others explain:

• How contract maintenance makes airlines more efficient and competitive.
• How industry and government have worked together to achieve a historic safety record.
• The industry’s substantial economic footprint.
• Career opportunities in aviation maintenance.
• The importance of small businesses.
• ARSA’s role as the industry’s voice.

ARSA wants to make sure the documentary is seen by as many viewers as possible.  We want the public, the media, and policymakers to understand aviation maintenance better.  And we want current and future workers to understand that ours is a growing, thriving industry with great job opportunities.
