That of course is unless the 76 captain is a 20-something by now.
UAL has a 767 captain making a lot of those videos (just google “my layover life” or something like that). They also got Swayne, the new guy you’re talking about who is also making videos. There’s a thread on the UAL forum about it. I think UAL sponsors/approves these and helps them make their videos, fwiw. Given the size of their following, I’m guessing the company likes the free press.
