History

Historical Context

The December 29, 1972 Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 crash highlighted crew trauma and sparked early staff-support ideas. The December 28, 1978 United Flight 173 disaster prompted an NTSB recommendation that birthed crew resource management, which United Airlines adopted in 1981. Modern airline wellness programs trace back to that CRM foundation, linking past accidents to today’s employee counseling networks.
