Doubt it.

That’s why the second sentence was there.

ONLY one is afforded that opportunity NOW. The very thing the airline condemned one person for is the very thing that is now happening. And for the other responder I do work at Mesa not Envoy but I feel free to point out idiotic hypocrisy where I see it.

Showing the full experience would be great, but he doesn't tell any lies in his videos. He gives accurate descriptions, (he highlighted how commuting blows without saying commuting blows) and in his last one, he was flying with an awesome captain who probably went a long way in mentoring him to make solid command decisions when he upgrades. The kid has a good hustle going on. As a lover of the free market, I say good for him. Make that paper. Hopefully, he will make some more realistic videos this fall as the industry continues to embrace the suck.


Very good overview. I agree.

He has more hustle than half the pilots here, that's why a bunch have their underwear twisted up.
The amount of butthurt that's going to happen here is going to be epic when he beats the flow by a decade.

Don’t get things twisted. Just because guys don’t post their flying lives on social media doesn’t mean they lack hustle. Most guys “hustle” at more tangible assets like families, hobbies and side jobs. You know, the things that don’t revolve around constantly videotaping themselves and trying to become a one man YouTube channel. But if he wants to be the next Kardashian more power to him.

That was hard to watch. I am amazed that someone in HR and Management would think this is a good look for the company and airline pilots. What is so special about airline pilots dancing around like morons? Is that a good look to the public? I just don't understand how anyone in charge would approve this.Shameful, really.

Swayne's shtick is actually not that bad. People dancing like jackasses or trying to incorporate their career into some cry for desperately wanted attention is another issue.

dancing like a fool on tiktok to get attention from the userbase of that app, which is mostly underage kids, is creepy as hell for a grown man to be doing

Probably not. Look at how many can't keep a balanced checkbook.

Haven't heard Todd in awhile. Even Boone though, who I always thought was the best, now sounds like he's been beaten down by the CS life.

Todd's still there. Just talked to him a few days ago.

That sucks, Boone is the GOAT!

Boone is awesome. I love talking to Hope, she has a sweet voice

I just watched Swayne's latest video (linked a few pages back), and he did a good job touching on an average day in the Regional Airline business.

The pettiness shown by some (most) in this thread is unfortunate.

Just so you know, being petty is part of the job description.

It really amazes me how they let him walk around the ramp without wearing a safety vest. What would happen if I try do something like that? I guess FM-1 only applies to regular pilots.

I agree that he puts out a quality product. Certainly can’t knock him on that aspect. He presents a professional appearance. Something that can’t always be said about others. There is one guy at PSA that does do a good job as well.

There have always been two issues that without bashing on the guy can’t be argued. He is (or certainly has) made a buck doing something that has not been afforded to others. The other thing was that while he has never said anything that most would agree wasn’t true, he was also certainly still blowing the company horn when it was (at least perceived) to be hurting the rest of the pilot group during the negotiations.

don’t know him personally, but from what I do know, I like the kid. He’s got promise.

Ok Captain Happy sure.

It’s a new generation Boomers!

Get over it, so many of you act pious. Out of touch, lame senior citizen’s some of you have become.

Remember this video? Many of you said you’d never be like this dad... well you‘ve becomes like him.

You're a boomer if you even know what that movie clip is from. The point is we all know people who wear the uniform for attention and it seems like some toolbags got this job just for the social media attention. It's cringey

highfarfast 04-20-2020 08:13 PM

I think a lot of people don't know what a boomer is.

rld1k 04-20-2020 08:17 PM

Boomer is a state of mind not an age

i.e. the 30 year old boomer
