Some HR 24 year old had a huge crush and was a fan of his social media account.

TL;DR: went on YouTube in uniform and trashed the United crew whose engine blew up over Denver earlier this year for not doing good enough. Kept both his job and his social media presence. Also, he was born with a silver spoon his mouth, his dad is an actual scab, and selling ED pills on the internet in uniform is a-OK at Piedmont (and apparently AA, too).

Wow. Forgot about all that!

Can’t wait to throw gear for this guy when my time finally comes 5-10 years from now. Quality hire AA… :rolleyes:

Didn’t he backseat UAL emergency handling and others

Among other things. Seems like a real douché.

Did UAL hire Swayne?

That’s the rumor

He just got the captain award so I guess time will tell.

Then the rumor was false. Although he partakes in leadership roles outside of The Voy, so I’d assume once he gains some PIC time he’ll be off to AA.

Once he proves himself in the left seat I’d certainly like to see another UND guy added to the UA list. I don’t think he’s even remotely comparable to flywithDbag.
