Flight 66 - Rona, 6 Minute Flights, and the Cadet Program

Author: Av8rTony December 24, 2020 Duration: 2:41:39

Recorded on the 21st DEC, 2020.

On today’s show the Squawk Ident crew and I discuss Covid on the Flight Line, the Aviation Business Information Board on Facebook, and Flight Schedules during the holiday season. We also spend a moment with a new segment call From the Hanger where we visit with our very own Captain Roger as he gives us a brief audio tour of the Dassault Falcon 2000. As if that is not enough to cover in this episode, we also have some very special guests today. You may remember him from episode 46 of Squawk Ident, All in the Flying Family, Mr. Kyle Jansen stops by to introduce to the show a few of “Legacy" Airlines’ Cadet Program Pilots. They sit down with us and discuss the program, the challenges within, and how their development with pilot training is going so far. We also have the privilege in speaking with Jennifer Blum, a program recruiter for American Airlines’ Cadet Recruitment.
