Welcome aboard Flight 105 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Hard Landings, recorded from the mobile Av8r Sound Studios, high a top the 7th floor of the Sheraton Gateway Hotel, in San Diego, CA.

On today’s flight Rob D. and I discuss late night meals and how to manage bad eating habits when you are at the mercy of difficult flight schedules while on the flight line. We will also talk about Hard Landings, Overweight Landings, and Heavy Landings as well. Last week, I had pilots occupying all of the available flight deck jump-seats going and coming into and from Nashville, Tennessee. We will discuss the 33rd annual Women in Aviation conference that took place March 17th through the 19th this month and what WAI offers aspiring aviators. We also have the chance to hear an audio update from Alex D. on his progress in his “SandPiper” training.

So stay with us while we run our final checks, as we prepare to push back from the gate, Flight 105 of the Squawk Ident podcast is officially under way.
