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). We are honored to have as our featured guest today Mr. Mike Airhart.

We will also discuss $100,000 signing bonuses, Botched Drug Tests, B737’s vs Grey Geese, and where in the world is Captain Keith.

So stick with us as we cover all this and more on this, the 122nd episode of the Squawk Ident podcast.
