Flight 138 - Professionalism in the Profession
Recorded on 22AUG2023
Welcome on board Flight 138 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Professionalism in the Profession.
On today’s flight, I am grateful to sit down with some amazing pilots and Squawk Ident co-hosts to discuss the profession of aviation. We will catch up with Captain Rob, Terry, Alex, and Av8rTony. Together, we discuss professionalism in the profession, PLM, the FAA's focus on personal devices, and the retirement numbers within the industry.
We also discuss some recent events that have many of us scratching our heads. From axe wielding Captains, to pilots collapsing due to stress induced heart-attacks.
All this and more on this, the 138th episode of the Squawk Ident Podcast.

recorded on the 29MAY2023
Welcome on board Flight 134 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - The Airline Transition
On today’s flight, I am joined by Alex and Terry. Together, we discuss why anyone in their “right mind” would open a cabin door mid-flight (to let in some fresh air maybe). We also listen to some audio feedback, we hear about our first Squawk Ident meet-up, and much more.
Today, we start off the show by with the privilege of having a featured guest on our show. He is a Certified Flight Instructor and former Check Pilot. He’s a former EMB-145 pilot for Sand Piper Airlines, and currently a Boeing 787 Dreamliner pilot for Trans Global. He is also the co-author of “The Airline Transition Manual” and he is here today to discuss his journey in aviation, his new book, and the process in getting published. Today we welcome Andrew Ross to the podcast.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy Flight 134 of the Squawk Ident podcast.

Flight 133 - Sick or FIT?
Recorded on 02MAY2023
Welcome on board Flight 133 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Sick or Fit - Recorded from the mobile Av8r Sound Studios, high a-top the 8th floor of the Sonesta Hotel in beautiful downtown Columbus, OH.
On today’s flight I am excited to be joined by a gaggle of the excellent Squawk Ident co-hosts. Captain Roger, Alex, Terry, Kyle and I discuss the start of the summer travel season, adverse weather, diversion choices, and “Bingo Fuel”. We also discuss a common choice that many airline pilot’s make to move to a cheaper state in an effort to achieve a higher quality of life. From flight training, to sick calls, to equipment changes, we explore our lives out on the flight line.
We also explore a headline that has been everywhere lately, ‘American Airlines Pilots Vote to Strike”. Did you ever wonder what that means? Are pilots refusing to fly the line? Not really. We will discuss this and much more on this episode of the Squawk Ident podcast.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the flight.

Customer Reviews
Great!
A good guy with good info!
Fantastic podcast!
This podcast is a well produced show by its creator, and fellow hosts (with no annoying doctors) of varying aviation backgrounds. If you want to hear the inside scoop from flying professionals, need good advice because you have a desire to fly for the airlines (especially U.S. carriers), or are fascinated with aviation, then this is a magnificent listen and place to be. I thought the APG Syndrome was bad; but that has been eclipsed by SI (maybe pronounce it like "yes" in Spanish, or would that cause confusion with the English letter..??) Syndrome! Thank you so much, for the work.
Incredible!
I have listen to Tony for the past 4 months and burned through all of his episodes. His knowledge and the way he informs his listeners of what’s going on is just as the title says incredible. I am a CFI about to make that transition from GA to 121 and I find the insight that Roger, Rob and Tony all provide is second to none and feel that my level of competency has increased going into my interviews. I hope to cross paths with him someday in the future and be able to share my story with him.
