Welcome aboard Flight 147 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - CV Bullet Points

On today’s flight Av8rTony, Roger, Alex, and Terry discuss the current state of the aviation industry and how it affects pilot career growth.  We also talk about resume building and the exciting transition from flight instructor to 121/135 pilot. 

We also share in the privilege of speaking with Captain Keith Wolzinger. The first time Captain Kieth was on the podcast was on Flight 111 - The Long Haul Rhythm, when we first learned about his aviation journey. He also joined us on Flight 139 - Airline Retirement, when we discussed his airline retirement experience.  It has been a year since his retirement and his aviation career is still soaring. Today, we will discover how the aviation bug has kept him flying professionally.  

So stick with us as we discuss all this, the 147th episode of the Squawk Ident Podcast.
