In 8 hours, his first United video has already had 28k viewers. These viewers are primarily future airline pilots. This is only going to help build the brand for the better.
In full disclosure I have met Swayne and found him to be humble and grateful for the opportunities he has realized.
I too know several older regional pilots that through no fault of their own haven’t been able to move on. I wish I could figure out a way to change that, but it’s just the luck of timing. I think it’s not fair to somehow blame Swayne for any of that.
