Flight 75 - Common Ground and Awkward Dynamics
Manage episode 289536535 series 2619013
Recorded on 7th of April, 2021
In this, the 75th episode of the Squawk Ident podcast - Common Ground and Awkward Dynamics - Av8rTony, Rob D., and Captain Roger have the pleasure in welcoming a young hotshot aviator that shares his amazing journey in aviation with us. Juan Sossa joins us to share how his humble beginnings in Columbia shaped the adventure that brought him to the Big Apple, New York City. We explore how he came close to becoming an air traffic controller instead of becoming an aviator, and how Av8rTony and Juan’s journeys crossed. We discuss CFI challenges, students locking up, how initial ground school at 121 carriers have evolved, and how the right attitude is key. We even get into awkward flight-deck dynamics, commuting challenges, Encyclopedia Man, the Northwest Alliance, baseline contracts vs. the idea of a National Seniority List, and so much more.
