Captain Maurice MacEwen is an active airline captain with nearly two decades of professional flight experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Over the course of his career, Maurice has flown thousands of passengers safely across the country and remains deeply committed to advancing safety and professionalism within aviation.
His personal navigation of the FAA’s aeromedical process exposed him to the unique challenges pilots and controllers face when working to maintain medical certification. That experience gave him firsthand insight into the strengths, shortcomings, and human cost of the current system. Rather than staying silent, Maurice chose to act—co-founding Pilots for HIMS Reform to advocate for a more transparent, fair, and science-driven approach to aeromedical oversight.
In his leadership role, Maurice engages with pilots, air traffic controllers, physicians, policymakers, and legal experts across the U.S., building a coalition focused on meaningful reform. He has contributed to legislative initiatives, spearheaded national outreach campaigns, and helped educate aviation professionals about their rights and responsibilities under the medical certification system.
Outside of aviation, Maurice is a passionate entrepreneur and co-owner of Heart & Home ABA, LLC, an organization providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. He is also a mentor to fellow aviators, a youth soccer coach and certified referee, and a frequent speaker on the intersection of aviation safety, mental health, and regulatory policy. He enjoys golf, outdoor adventures, and inspiring the next generation of pilots. Above all, Maurice is a devoted husband and father, which he considers his most important role and the driving force behind his commitment to replace fear with fairness and stigma with support.
“I believe aviation medicine should be a pathway to safety and wellness, not a barrier to a pilot’s livelihood. Our mission is to create a system where fairness and science take priority over fear and stigma.”
