Welcome to the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, hosted by ECHO and brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS and Vertical Valor Magazine.
In this episode of the Valor Flight Crew podcast, we sit down with Darren and Deb from the ECHO Flight Crew Assistance and Support Team (FAST) to explore the vital work they’re doing in supporting flight crew members.
They dive into the origins of FAST, its mission to provide peer support, and the crucial role mental health plays in high-stress, high-stakes environments.
Throughout the conversation, the team reflects on personal experiences in flight medicine, the immediate need for support during crises, and the importance of building a strong community for public safety aviation professionals.
Highlighting the many services FAST provides, this episode underscores the significance of proactive mental health strategies, self-care, and reaching out when help is needed.
Join us for an insightful discussion on the past, present, and future of FAST and how it’s expanding to better support the flight crew community.
Thank you to our sponsors Airbus, Metro Aviation and Vertical Valor Magazine.
