| 25 Jul 2020 | Flight 50 - Captain, Commander, & Team USA | 01:56:23 | |
Recorded on the 23rd of July, 2020 On today's episode, I am so very excited to sit down with a phenomenal aviator whom I first met a few years ago, while flying a 2 day sequence together. I can remember that I was intrigued the moment he told me about the rigors of his Team USA triathlon training schedule. He was preparing for an event that he would be participating in just days after our flight sequence together. He is an accomplished Legacy Airlines Captain, a retired Naval Commander and E-2 and ES3A pilot for the US Navy, and an award winning USA Triathlon Team Member. He is an SBR Sports Ambassador, an F2C Nutrition Ambassador, and a USA Triathlon Certified Coach. Today, I have the privilege in speaking with this amazing aviator about his fantastic journey, right here on the 50th episode of Squawk Ident. It is with the utmost privilege that I introduce to the show, Captain Kevin Elmore. Reference: "Legacy Icelandic" fires cabin crew article How the USS Enterprise almost sank article Chapters

| 23 May 2020 | Flight 42 - Mask Shaming & Distance Learning | 02:10:35 | |
Recorded on 21st of May, 2020 On todays show, we will be discussing load factors and the outlook for pilots looking ahead to October 1st. The president doesn’t seem concerned about the aviation industry, should we be? Also, with the reduction of flights throughout the country, the 5% increase in load factor, according to the TSA’s report last week, has started to become evident with aircraft that are starting to become "uncomfortably almost full." We will also explore in the WTF segment face mask shaming, seriously…yes, seriously. There has also been some flight deck mask push back, why is that, we will discuss. And finally we will explain Distance Learning. To help me navigate these topics, I am honored to be joined by a group of aviators that I have bribed generously to be on today’s show. Did you guys get your Squawk Ident stimulus checks yet? I promise they are in the mail… reference: Thank You for Listening!

After earning a degree from the Manhattan School of Music as a Flutist, she realized that her passion for aviation was calling her to change directions. From flight instructing, to the U.S. Air Force, the Air National Guard, flying for Airborne Express, and later American Airlines, her over three decades of experiences as a professional aviator has given her the insights she needs to tackle her next aspiration, to win the election for the LAX domicile vice-chair position for her pilot’s union. Today, we sit down with Captain Juli Zabos as she shares her aviation journey with us. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the podcast references:

| 13 Mar 2020 | Flight 31 - Do Not Panic! | 01:38:43 | |
Recorded on 12th of March, 2020 On this episode of Squawk Ident, I have a conversation with my co-host RobD. We discuss what has been spreading around the flight line faster than an infectious disease spreading on a crowded cruise ship, that’s right…we are talking about “job security.” No, not the mall cop kind, we are taking about the kind of job security we pilots worry about worse than this virus itself, we are talking about stagnation, furlough, line quality, canceled upgrades, and pilot hiring freezes. Most importantly, there is one piece of advice I can give in my 3 decades of employment, and nearly two decades at the airlines, DON’T PANIC! This industry is very cyclical and is affected by many complex factors. RobD and I are going to dive into the latest information about how the current climate of the US airline market is moving towards.

We also briefly tackle a topic that has been flooding the headlines with the Coronavirus epidemic in full scare! What are your risk factors if you fly domestically in the U.S. right now? Do those cheap masks that you buy at your local pharmacy actually protect you or is it all just overreaction driven by media frenzy? And in a recent and tragic turn of events, we will discuss the importance of situational awareness and safe layover practices in the wake of some devastating news that a fellow aviator lost his life when caught in the cross fire while on a layover in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Recorded on the 25th of February, 2020 On this episode of Squawk Ident, I have the honor in speaking with a captain that I shared a flight sequence with a few weeks ago. Listening to the tales he shared about his journey in aviation was an amazing experience. All of us professional aviators have our unique stories to tell about how we progressed through the challenges that come with this profession, but his story stands out. From an apprenticeship at a company that later became British Aerospace to flying for Air Atlanta Icelandic. He has survived multiple furloughs and recalls, mergers and bankruptcies, and countless interviews in between. In addition to having the patience to answer my barrage of questions about his journey, he is also one of the most kindest and personable individuals that I have come across. Thank You for Listening!

From sound engineering to space camp to civil air patrol and more, they both have been an inspiration to me for many years. Today, I was able to interview them. Their journeys have been filled with love and sacrifice.

That is when our featured guest’s decorated military veteran father paid the steep cost of $600, for him to achieve his Private Pilot Certificate. With the passion for aviation growing within him, he went on to become an aircraft washer, a line fueler, a Gold Seal flight instructor, a trained dispatcher and 727 flight engineer, a corporate pilot, and an airline pilot as well. From flying Apaches, Turbo Commanders, and Twin Otters to commanding DC-10’s, Super-80’s, 75s/76s, and 737’s, his remarkable journey lead him to build upon an aviation career that has seen many challenges. In 2013, at the age of 65 years young, he retired from American Airlines. I was honored to be invited into his home, where he and his son, (a 3rd generation pilot currently flying for “Sandpiper Regional”), sat down with me to share his story. This is an interview from the 8th of January, 2023, with retired American Airlines Captain Greg Daigle and his son Alex.

Together, we will discuss our latest flight schedules, we have an audio update that Alex has sent in, and I will share an event that I was able to take part in that involved some very special Make-A-Wish families. We also welcome a special guest that I have bribed handsomely to join us today. He is my favorite Acme Airlines captain and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. His airline career has spanned over three decades where he has flown the B727, L1011, MD88/90, and currently he commands the B717. He is an alumni of Georgia Tech, and Auburn University, and a graduate of the Accident Investigation and Flight Safety School at the University of Southern California/Norton Air Force Base. He is an avid vocalist and the host and creator of a wildly popular aviation podcast that will surely give you a syndrome. We welcome Captain Jeff Nielsen to the podcast today.
So buckle up, this is going to be epic! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the podcast. references: Please visit Av8rtony.com for more show content, audio archives, cover art, Squawk Ident gear, audio feedback, and more.

Recorded on the 28th of February, 2020 On this episode of Squawk Ident, I have the opportunity to speak with young aviator who’s journey intersected with mine early on in the progression of advancements in our respective careers. His path directed him left, when mine went right. Here we are over a decade later, he flying for a U.S. Legacy career we refer to as ACME Airlines on this show, and I at a U.S. Legacy career that we call LEGACY Airlines on Squawk Ident. We as aviators often find ourselves saying things “like you never know where you are going to end up in this profession, it is a little luck, a little bit of chance, and a whole lot of timing.” This statement can not be better represented than tales from the journey we will dive into on this episode of Squawk ident.

Recorded on the 13th of July, 2020 On Episode 48 of Squawk Ident, I am joined in the mobile Av8r Studio on the 7th floor of the Georgetown - Marriott Hotel in Washington D.C. by an aviator that is sure to impress. His four plus decade journey in aviation started out with a ride on a cross country flight at the age of 10, where he joined his father on one of his flight lessons. From airport bum, to mechanic's helper, and later A&P and Airline Line Pilot, his journey is filled with stories that focus on friendships, loyalty, and opportunity. His leadership and experience has been a true inspiration to learn from. Having the opportunity to fly with Captain Dave is an experience that I am very grateful for. His journey in aviation is sure to inspire. references: 144th Fighter Wing - Air National Guard Episode 48 chapters: [03:00] - Introducing Captain David LeTourneau [05:25] - CRM with Dave [08:42] - Dave's First Flight [15:30] - Test Pilot [20:00] - Loyalty [25:00] - Home of the 144th [33:05] - Scabs?

Recorded on the 2nd of November, 2020 On today’s special episode of the Squawk Ident podcast, we are very grateful to have the opportunity to speak with an aviator who has navigated some rather challenging obstacles along his fantastic journey in aviation. His exceptional story tackles a topic that is often too uncomfortable for many pilots to even discuss. He shares with us how his disease nearly put an end to his aviation career and how his recovery, thanks to the HIMS program, saved his life. Hopefully, someone out there listening will hear about his journey and decide that it is time to take that first step and ask for help. Joining us from his home in Eagleville, Tennessee, is Mr. David W. references: Thank You for Listening!
