If you’re upset with somebody for making fantastic videos, that help a lot of aspiring pilots and then taking a position with a legacy… forget it. You wouldn’t pass the Hogan.

 

As would anyone else. You're $hitting on a dude who is makes the same choices that reasonable people would, and do, make. Why wouldn't he take the upgrade? The industry can change on a dime (United cancelled its last class during covid with 3 days notice IIRC). It makes sense to progress and contribute where you are until the day you leave.

If the Union was so interested in using his personal business/brand for their gain, why didn't they hire him and compensate him to do so? That's right, He was paying the Union to work on his behalf... he doesn't owe the association anything beyond his dues payment.

 

Who gives a shi+ about him.
you folks better go out get a life.
If he can't stand up for himself then so much for that.

 

have you tried applying to other airlines yet?? seems like PDT gotten to you. I’ve been there, it’s time to bounce man, you’re grumpy.

 

What kind of mindless group-think lunk head commie propaganda is this?

 

LOL, just wow! Jealous much?

 

Jealous? Or perhaps on to something about influencers….?

 

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.

 

I haven't watch a single minute of his videos. I'm not his target audience. But I tend to like go getters and hard workers. Everything I hear about him fits this bill. Every negative thing I hear about him fits the bill of sour grapes, jealousy, and sometimes bigotry. I'm also happy for him.

 

Agreed. Seems like an intelligent, mature, kind person who truly cares about the profession and mentoring others. A few of the others floating around here - the latest, sweaty, Mohawked, UA ca for example - not so much…
