Safety: Don’t Count on 2nd Chances
Can too much experience be a bad thing? Absolutely…if it leads to complacency. The highly experienced pilots of Flight 965 were lulled into a false sense of security that led to the deaths of 160 people. Mercedes’ one-of-a-kind safety presentation uses the factual account of the crash of Flight 965 as an anchor to drive home the dangers of complacency and the importance of situational awareness.

I want to thank you for coming into my life with your story. You showed me that no matter how desperate things may seem, no matter how low our spirits may get, we are in control of the outcome. I was so touched by your story and how strong you are. People have always told me that special people were put on this earth to inspire others to do better in their lives. After meeting you, I see that it is true.

A very good example of how repetition can result in accidents due to complacency. This presentation would be good for the national convention.
