May 23, 2020Flight 42 - Mask Shaming & Distance Learning
Recorded on 21st of May, 2020
On todays show, we will be discussing load factors and the outlook for pilots looking ahead to October 1st. The president doesn’t seem concerned about the aviation industry, should we be? Also, with the reduction of flights throughout the country, the 5% increase in load factor, according to the TSA’s report last week, has started to become evident with aircraft that are starting to become "uncomfortably almost full." We will also explore in the WTF segment face mask shaming, seriously…yes, seriously. There has also been some flight deck mask push back, why is that, we will discuss. And finally we will explain Distance Learning. To help me navigate these topics, I am honored to be joined by a group of aviators that I have bribed generously to be on today’s show. Did you guys get your Squawk Ident stimulus checks yet? I promise they are in the mail…

May 14, 2020Flight 41 - Keep Calm and Carry On
Recorded on 12th of May, 2020
On this episode of Squawk Ident, I discuss what flying the line has been like since our last episode. From mandatory face masks, to a few 2-day trip sequences that include LAX-DCA-CLT flying. I am happy to report, the flights starting to fill up!
I also have the opportunity, to speak with an incredible aviator that connected with me recently to share his journey in aviation with us. We discuss the path that lead him on his journey in aviation. From an EMT, to a flight instructor, a cargo pilot, a Critical Response Incident Pilot, an airline pilot, and Director of Flight Operations for a corporate operator, his journey is filled with adventure and heart.

April 26, 2020Flight 39 - A Journey Filled with Giving Back
Recorded on April 21st, 2020
On episode 39 of Squawk Ident, I am so very honored to be joined by a fantastic individual who has paved an incredible journey in aviation. From his start in the U.S. Navy, to excelling within the ranks at Legacy Airlines by maintaining positions in Reservations, Ramp Agent, Customer Service, Gate Agent, Flight Attendant, and Pilot to name a few. He has held positions as an Aeromedical HIMS Chairman, a Peer Mentor, a Flight Department Recruiter, and a Board Member for the Something MAAgic Foundation. Todays guest exemplifies the term “giving back” to his community. His story is filled with tenacity, growth, and determination. His experiences in the industry has allowed him a perspective that very few can say they have achieved.

April 23, 2020 Flight 38 - Flight Schedules, No Furloughs, & Remember When
Recorded on the 21st of April, 2020
On this episode RobD, Roger, and I discuss our recent flight schedules (or lack-there-of), and we compare how long our beards can grow before we need to shave them before we need to go flying again. We discuss the LAX at home program and how Southwest leadership has declared no furloughs ahead. We also dive into a new segment we call "Remember When", where we explore some of the lessons we picked up in our general aviation flight training, all those years ago, and how those early moments have shaped how we operate as aviators today.

April 05, 2020 Flight 36 - Empty Aircraft, Isolation, & Pickle Ball
Recorded on the 2nd of April, 2020
On this episode of Squawk Ident, I am joined by my co-host RobD. Together we discuss what it has been like out on the flight line. We talk about how our schedules have been disappearing out from under us, how flights are going out empty, and how airports seem like they have been abandoned. We hear how Av8rTony got a call from his chief pilot informing him that one of his passengers tested positive for CoVid 19. We also discuss SAFOs, NOTAMS, DOT bailouts, FAA Medicals, and social distancing with family. And let us not forget Pickle Ball.
