046 All in the Flying Family
Recorded on 23rd of June, 2020
On this episode of Squawk Ident, I am very excited to be joined by a young aviator, entrepreneur, and humanitarian that was raised within a spectacular aviation family. He is a Texas native, a graduate from Oklahoma State University in Aviation Management, and he is currently a DFW based pilot with“Legacy Airlines”. I sat down with him to discuss the amazing work that he and his family have contributed to the Gary Sinise Foundation, we talk about his latest on-line venture, and his role as a pilot mentor in "Legacy's" Cadet Program. Kyle Jansen spends much of his time sharing his passion for aviation with many young aviators and today we discussed how his journey in aviation was shaped.

043 Forty Years of Flight is in the Details
Recorded on 28th of May, 2020
On this episode of Squawk Ident, I am very excited to be joined by yet another amazing aviator who has agreed to share his journey in aviation with us. I am honored to have this opportunity to introduce to you a man who has dedicated over 20 years of service to our country in the U.S. Navy. He served as an Aviation Electrician’s Mate, a Reel Operator, and as a Flight Engineer on the EC-130G/KC-130F. He also held stations as an E-6A Electrical Work Center Supervisor, a Quality Assurance Representative, and a Flight Engineer Training department coordinator. He was also an E-6 Model Manager for the Naval Training Support Unit. He earned his degree from Emery Riddle University in Professional Aeronautics and minored in Aviation Safety. As his journey continues, it has allowed him to become a CFI,II, MEI, and a Captain for a U.S. regional carrier we on Squawk Ident call "Sandpiper Regional." Currently, he holds a pilot position on the Boeing 737 for what we call “Legacy Airlines.”

042 Mask Shaming & Distance Learning
Recorded on 21st of May, 2020
On todays show, we will be discussing load factors and the outlook for pilots looking ahead to October 1st. The president doesn’t seem concerned about the aviation industry, should we be? Also, with the reduction of flights throughout the country, the 5% increase in load factor, according to the TSA’s report last week, has started to become evident with aircraft that are starting to become "uncomfortably almost full." We will also explore in the WTF segment face mask shaming, seriously…yes, seriously. There has also been some flight deck mask push back, why is that, we will discuss. And finally we will explain Distance Learning. To help me navigate these topics, I am honored to be joined by a group of aviators that I have bribed generously to be on today’s show. Did you guys get your Squawk Ident stimulus checks yet? I promise they are in the mail…

041 Keep Calm and Carry On
Recorded on 12th of May, 2020
On this episode of Squawk Ident, I discuss what flying the line has been like since our last episode. From mandatory face masks, to a few 2-day trip sequences that include LAX-DCA-CLT flying. I am happy to report, the flights starting to fill up!
I also have the opportunity, to speak with an incredible aviator that connected with me recently to share his journey in aviation with us. We discuss the path that lead him on his journey in aviation. From an EMT, to a flight instructor, a cargo pilot, a Critical Response Incident Pilot, an airline pilot, and Director of Flight Operations for a corporate operator, his journey is filled with adventure and heart.

Customer Reviews
Very well done!
I can identify with the experiences discussed in these podcasts. It is a part of who I am. For four decades.
A fresh new take on the aviator lifestyle
As a pilot, I listen to many aviation related podcasts. This one is becoming my favorite. Maybe because I’m in the same age range as the hosts, living through the same aspects of life (i.e. working full time, raising kids, being a spouse.) I find Aviator Tony and his buddies as being very relatable. Although I don’t work in the aviation field (yet), I really like the insight they give into their careers. They have lots of good stories and some pretty hilarious ones too. And being that the host lives in the Los Angeles area like I do, it’s really cool to hear him talk about the places I see in my daily routine, such as NO TRAFFIC during this pandemic. I have a SEL Comm certificate and am preparing for my CFI checkride. We’ll see what the near future holds for aviation, as we all ride out this pandemic to who knows what destination. Great podcast and thank you!
A well thought out aviation show!
I’ve listened from the beginning and it’s been a ride. This pod has become my go to for anything related to the skies. The flight line stories are my favorite segments. I hope aviator Tony and his new co-host become the main voices in aviation. Great show!
