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.
