Who cares if he's a "really good stick"? Plenty of folks at this level are. The attitude displayed in his vids is something that could prevent his ascension to a major. This is because (among other things), his ability to be tolerated for four days or more within the confines of a cramped cockpit is paramount. The thing I've noticed at this level is that the vast, vast majority of folks I fly with are laid back and are pleasure to spend time with over many days. Their flying skills are never a question. Mainlines try really hard to weed out the off-the-wall dudes who may otherwise be good sticks, but who nobody can stand to spend more than 30 seconds with. This guy may qualify as one of THOSE guys.
