recorded on 17Mar2022

Welcome aboard Flight 109 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Pent Up Demand

On today's show, Rob D. and Av8rTony discuss some recent flight sequences that include MELd APUs, reassignments, and hot airplanes. We also explore the possibility that ATP minimums may be lowered to 750 total time and the mandatory retirement age may be raised to 67 years old.  We also share the news that United has agreed to an AIP and what that means to the rest of the labor groups.  Finally, we discover who Scott Kirby is and ask why wingtips keep falling off aircraft.  

All this and more on this episode of the Squawk Ident Podcast.

Welcome aboard Flight 104 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - the Speed of Heat. Recorded from the mobile Av8r Sound Studios at the Maui Coast Hotel, in Kihei, on the island of Maui.

On today’s flight Captain Roger and I sit down with an aviator that has agreed to share his remarkable journey in aviation with us. He started out on an aviation path at birth, born into an aviation family of historic proportions. A discovery flight at the age of 13 quickly cemented his resolve to earn his wings. After attending the University of Oklahoma he joined the U.S. Air Force where he flew KC-135s. He later followed in his mother's footsteps when he joined the ranks at "Legacy Airlines", where he has earned type ratings in the 75/76 and Airbus family of aircraft. Today we sit down with Captain Rob Cosand.

So stay with us while we run our final checks, as we prepare to push back from the gate, Flight 104 of the Squawk Ident podcast is officially under way.
