Welcome aboard Flight 120 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - The Scram Jet is on Layaway

On today’s flight I am joined by Captain Roger, Rob D., and a special guest host, Captain Rob Cosand. Captain Rob first joined us on Flight 104 - The Speed of Heat. That is when we first heard about his aviation journey, his service to our country, and his families legacy.

On Today’s flight we explore the possibility of hacking into a commercial aircraft’s PA system, the recent changes to minimum rest requirements for cabin crew members, and we ask the question “Who is the FAA acting head Billy Nolan?”.

We also discuss the possibility of nuclear powered aircraft, the new financing options AA has set for student pilots, and the importance in knowing who the key players are in YOUR aviation industry.

We hear from Captain Keith and we highlight the Stand Up 2 Cancer foundation.

All this and more on this, the 120th episode of the Squawk Ident podcast.
