Welcome on board Flight 129 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - It's Still Worth It

On today’s flight, I have the honor in speaking with an aviator we first had on our podcast on Flight 23 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Apaches, C-12s, and Battalion Commander. He has since retired from the U.S. Army after 24 years of service. Today, he is a B737 first officer at Trans Global Airlines (an alias to his employer, a U.S. mainline carrier). Colonel Terry S. (ret), joins me as we discuss his transition to the airlines, his flight training, simulator challenges, and flying the line. We also share a few stories from the flight line that include weather diversions, severe weather, abandoned control towers, short runways, and 12 minute flights.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the podcast.
