Welcome on board Flight 135 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - The Gouge

On today’s flight we catch up with Captain Rob and Terry S. Together, we will discuss Captain Rob’s mainline Upgrade Training experiences, what was expected of him, and how it differed from his upgrade experiences at SandPiper Regional.  From CPTs and IPTs, to PLM and IOC. We hear all about Terry’s Transition Training as he prepares to transition from the B737 to the B75/76 fleet.

Captain Roger sends in some audio feedback from Granada, Captain Keith takes us along with him on a walkabout around London, and we discuss a whole lot more. So let us welcome you aboard flight 135 of the Squawk Ident Podcast.
