you are incorrect. Don’t use “we” as a generalization of the norm. Just because most pilots are introverts and left brained doesn’t mean there aren’t some pilots that are comfortable sharing their profession on social media because they happen to be more artistic/creative than the rest. You and many others may feel uncomfortable doing it yourself because you probably had to study the STAR format for every interview you ever had. It’s unfair to jump on someone having a positive impact on others on social media because you have some deeply rooted conservative opinion of what an airline pilot is or how one should be portrayed. If you don’t like the guy, don’t follow him, but hiding behind an online forum talking smack about the guy makes all of you that do seem pretty small.
