In this episode Captain's Mike and Tom start off discussing the nuances of being new to higher levels of social media and podcast broadcast production. The show moves into some quick takes on some real life stories from last week's travels. Then we get into what its like to arrive at the airport, head to the gate, meet the crew, do the pre-flight and get ready to push the flight off the gate. We wrap-up with a discussion about a current even topic regarding a Southwest Airlines pilot who was arrested for suspicion of being intoxicated while attempting to operate a revenue flight. Hope you enjoy!
