recorded on the 7th of September, 2021 On today’s special flight of the Squawk Ident podcast - Remembering September 11th - the Squawk Ident crew and I listen in along with all of you, to some of our favorite aviators as they recall what it was like 20 years ago as the world first discovered that four U.S. commercial airliners were being used as weapons against our nation by a new form of terrorism never before imagined. Nearly 3000 souls lost their lives on 9/11, four aircraft were destroyed, and our nation and the aviation industry were forever changed. The inspiration for this special episode came from recent conversations that we each shared which pointed out that there is an entire generation of aviators out on the line today that are barley 20 year old themselves. Join us as we speak with a few of our favorite professional airline pilots as they recall the events that changed their industry, their careers, and their lives forever on a beautiful September morning in 2001.

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. references: Should Airplanes Fly Themselves (Vanity Fair article) Slátur (traditional Icelandic meat)  Episode 049 - Vikings Take Flight chapters: [02:11] Roger's intro [08:50] Slátur [10:45] Captain Jerry Quinn intro [22:00] Ferry Fuel & Pilot Error [39:00] Good Layover and the Big Easy [48:20] Jerry's Journey [54:15] Ab Initio Program with Mesa Airlines [1:08:12] From RJs is Airbuses [1:12:30] How Sick Do I Sound?

Recorded on 7th of April, 2021 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. references: KPDK - DeKalb Peachtree Airport KRYY - Cobb County International-McCollum Airport Forbes Article on the Northeast Alliance Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University chapters: [02:16] Intros [12:20] Introducing Juan Sossa [21:45] Having Support on the Journey to Embry-Riddle  [29:00] ATC or PIC?
