Welcome aboard Flight 108 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Pushing Past Barriers

On today’s flight we are joined by Captain Roger & Rob D. Together, we will hear about some BIG news from Captain Roger about his new type rating and the new jet to his growing fleet of corporate aircraft.

We also are very excited to have on the show a Miami based Airbus A320 captain for Legacy Airlines. She takes us along as she shares her journey in aviation with us. From plane spotting with her family at Miami International to overcoming the extreme biases towards women in the industry. She is a Journalism graduate from Miami Dade College, a licensed real estate agent in Palm Beach, Florida, a mother, an airline captain, and she wears different hats every day. We are pleased to welcome to the show our featured guest Captain Adilia Roberts.

All this and more on this very special episode of the Squawk Ident podcast.
