Welcome on board Flight 130 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Flying Fatigued 

On today’s flight, I have the honor of being joined by Squawk Ident co-hosts Roger, Terry and Alex.  Together, we will discuss what causes Pilot Fatigue, we discuss the recent Emergency Safety Summit hosted by the Federal Aviation Agency, and what we have learned from it.  We also look at joy riding around the boroughs of New York in a stollen airline bus.  We explore Delta Airlines and their latest recruitment strategy with their creation of the Propel Flight Academy. We also look at airline corporate tactics being used today that circumvent pilot unions in an effort to sway pilot workgroups into accepting contracts that benefit operators over employees. 


We have a full docket for todays show so buckle up, sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the podcast.
