Welcome on board Flight 134 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - The Airline Transition


On today’s flight, I am joined by Alex and Terry. Together, we discuss why anyone in their “right mind” would open a cabin door mid-flight (to let in some fresh air maybe). We also listen to some audio feedback, we hear about our first Squawk Ident meet-up, and much more.


Today, we start off the show by with the privilege of having a featured guest on our show. He is a Certified Flight Instructor and former Check Pilot. He’s a former EMB-145 pilot for Sand Piper Airlines, and currently a Boeing 787 Dreamliner pilot for Trans Global. He is also the co-author of “The Airline Transition Manual” and he is here today to discuss his journey in aviation, his new book, and the process in getting published. Today we welcome Andrew Ross to the podcast.


So sit back, relax, and enjoy Flight 134 of the Squawk Ident podcast.
