Squawk Ident - An Aviation Podcast Av8rTony

Recorded on the 05th of May, 2021

On today’s episode, Captain Roger and Av8rTony are joined by one of “Legacy" Airlines' newest captains. Captain Jerry Quinn has survived furloughs, merges, and multiple down-turns. His journey in aviation has followed a path very few have experienced. Together we discuss our latest flight schedules, some recently trapped errors, and the common debate, "will aircraft soon fly themselves?" Jerry then shares his experiences and even a few tales from the flight line here, on the 77th episode of the Squawk Ident podcast.

In this, the 75th episode of the Squawk Ident podcast - Common Ground and Awkward Dynamics - Av8rTony, Rob D., and Captain Roger have the pleasure in welcoming a young hotshot aviator that shares his amazing journey in aviation with us. Juan Sossa joins us to share how his humble beginnings in Columbia shaped the adventure that brought him to the Big Apple, New York City. We explore how he came close to becoming an air traffic controller instead of becoming an aviator, and how Av8rTony and Juan’s journeys crossed.  We discuss CFI challenges, students locking up, how initial ground school at 121 carriers have evolved, and how the right attitude is key. We even get into awkward flight-deck dynamics, commuting challenges, Encyclopedia Man, the Northwest Alliance, baseline contracts vs. the idea of a National Seniority List, and so much more.

On episode 73 of the Squawk Ident podcast, Leadership, Mentorship, and Being Better, I have the privilege to sit down with a friend and former guest, Captain Kevin Elmore. The first time he was with us was on episode 50 - Captain, Commander, and Team USA. That was the episode where we introduced Captain Elmore to the podcasting world. In episode 50, he shared with us his journey in aviation, he outlined his service to our country, where he served as a Commander in the U.S. Navy, and how at the age of 50, he decided to start training to become a triathlon athlete to his long list of accomplishments.
In this episode we have a discussion on the qualities it takes to be an effective leader and mentor. We also speak of the Threat and Error Management model and the foundation what it means to being better. With over 20,000 hours at the controls of a variety of aircraft, we are honored in having Captain Kevin Elmore join us again on episode 73.

On today’s episode Captain Roger and I discuss the challenges of ever changing and demanding flight schedules, back-side of the clock flying, staying hydrated on the flight line despite the walk of shame, and Captain Roger schools Av8rTony on VOR-A and LOC - D approach plates. Isn’t it fun to make fun of the airline pilot?
