About this listen

In this electrifying episode of The Open Skies Podcast, host Chris Glass sits down with Captain David Deere, a seasoned pilot with an extraordinary aviation career spanning from fighter jets to commercial airliners. Captain Deere shares his journey from flying CF-18s in the Gulf War and intercepting cruise missiles over Alaska to performing high-precision aerobatics with the Snowbirds and Northern Lights Aerobatic Team.

Now a Standards Pilot at WestJet, David discusses his work in fuel efficiency, including the implementation of RNP approaches—cutting-edge navigation technology that saves fuel, reduces emissions, and enhances safety. He also delves into sustainability initiatives, and the future of sustainable aviation fuels.
