Flight 107 - The Mask Circus, Pay Scales, & Contracts


Listen Later

Recorded on 23APR2022

Welcome aboard Flight 107 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - The Mask Circus, Pay Scales, & Contracts.

On today’s flight we catch up with Rob D., Alex D., and me (Av8rTony). Together, we will discuss the changes to the federal mask mandate and how Philadelphia and Los Angeles International Airports, and others have reacted to the ruling. We also discuss Alaska Airlines’ strike authorization efforts, why so many airline pilot groups are picketing, and we discuss pilot pay scales & how to know what to expect if you choose a career in aviation. All this and more on this, the 107th episode of the Squawk Ident podcast.
