In this special extended episode of Breaking Sterile, we dig into passenger safety, earbuds vs. announcements, pets in the cabin, and the curious phenomenon of being invisible in uniform. It’s a longer ride, but worth it, as we talk through what it takes to keep flights safe, calm, and (mostly) sane while the world scrolls by.
