Lol! Not in this young man’s case. People right here on APC have commented about meeting him and they say he’s a really nice guy. Likable.

Two things needed in this business at all levels. You better be able to aviate well, and you better be someone who people can work with and share the tight confines of a flight deck, hotel van, etc, for four or more days. He seems to meet those two criteria well. The challenge is to be noticed somehow in order to secure an interview with a major airline of one’s choice (assuming that’s the goal). If firing up a social media channel gets one noticed, and in a good way, then good on him.

I’m happy for this guy. Good for him. Even though I’m way past his stage in this career, I’ve always enjoyed watching his vids. They are well done and his enthusiasm shows through clearly. For his future crew members, he’ll be a great guy to fly with.
