Squawk Ident is an aviation podcast dedicated to the journey and the challenges surrounding the life and career of Av8rTony and his guests. Together we explore the pathways to an aviation profession, the realities of what a professional aviator can expect in todays market, and we share many stories…
The Squawk Ident - An Aviation Podcast is an incredible podcast that I have been listening to for the past four months. Tony, the host of the show, has an extensive knowledge of aviation and his ability to inform his listeners about what's going on in the industry is truly impressive. I am a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) who is about to make the transition from General Aviation (GA) to 121 operations, and I have found the insights provided by Tony, Roger, and Rob to be second to none. Their discussions have greatly increased my level of competency going into my upcoming interviews. I hope to one day cross paths with Tony and share my own story with him.
One of the best aspects of The Squawk Ident is its engaging conversations and thought-provoking scenarios. The hosts do a fantastic job of keeping their listeners engaged and encouraging them to think about different situations and potential solutions that could potentially save lives in the future. As a pilot, I listen to many aviation-related podcasts, but this one has quickly become my favorite. Perhaps it's because Tony and his buddies are around the same age as me and are going through similar life experiences such as working full-time jobs, raising kids, and being spouses. They are relatable in so many ways. Additionally, their stories are not only informative but also highly entertaining, often leading to hilarious moments.
While there may not be any significant negatives associated with The Squawk Ident podcast, some listeners may find certain episodes or segments more interesting than others depending on their specific interests within aviation. However, this is a minor issue that can easily be overlooked considering the overall quality of the content provided.
In conclusion, The Squawk Ident - An Aviation Podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in aviation or involved in the industry. It offers valuable insights from experienced individuals like Tony who possess a wealth of knowledge about aviation. The engaging conversations, relatability of the hosts, and thought-provoking scenarios make this podcast truly enjoyable. Whether you are a pilot, aviation enthusiast, or simply curious about the world of aviation, The Squawk Ident is a fantastic choice that will both educate and entertain you.

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.

recorded on 08JAN2023 Welcome on board Flight 125 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Seniority is not Everything, It's the Only Thing Today's episode marks the first Squawk Ident flight of season 5. Alex and I recently had the honor in sitting down with a truly remarkable aviator who's journey in aviation started in the early 1970s. 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.

Recorded on 21NOV2022 Welcome on board Flight 122 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - The Golden Age of Aviation Bonuses On today's flight we are joined by an aviator who's parents exposed him to aviation at the tender age of 5 years old, when he was able to witnesses the awesome display of air power by the U.S. Navy Blue Angles F4 Phantom team. In his teen years he joined the Civil Air Patrol, took high school classes on aviation where he grew his addiction of aviation in the process. As flight training costs started to skyrocket, his aviation passion was set aside in order to pay the bills within the emerging computer technology market. He later started his own computer software company that took off. Despite his financial success in Tech, his addiction to aviation never subsided. Fast forward to today, his winding journey has lead him to the present day where he flies an Embraer 175 for Sandpiper Airlines (an alias to his employer, an American Flag yielding wholly owned regional airline).
