You guys are missing the point. This guy is a digital marketer who also happens to be a pilot. Envoy probably signed an agreement with him to do a bunch of online marketing and vlogs for them to his whole subscriber base. These YouTube celebrities make good money doing things like this for companies.

Swayne’s target audience isn’t established pilots, it’s all the wannabes and the private pilots out there who get excited watching these cheesy videos. 90% of his YouTube subscribers probably have less than 5 hours total time.

Well that guy voluntarily wears the hate AND long sleeves. Flying him must be one long a** trip...

I can already feel the micromanaging now when he upgrades. RIP to FOs who have to fly with him.

We don’t care about the company purposes. The guy for sure got a class before lots of people that have been waiting a lot. Company crying about others taking pics and videos and will approve just this guy. Yeah right, no princesses in here.

Is it possible he's a DEC? Serious question....I'm not very up to speed on what exactly counts towards the upgrade and if any of his time at his last gig qualifies him for a DEC slot.

He was flying C208 for a Part 135 company in Hawaii. I don’t think that time counts to be a DEC.

Odds this guy gets the much less photogenic Embraer in class predicted to be less than zero, analysts say.

Probably 145, it will be a “set-up” if he gets the 175. Will be clear that the company wants him for Videos and promo.

Everyone in this thread needs to grow up. Bunch of damn 30year olds picking on a 22year old trying to get his feet wet in a new career. Get off his back. He’s built an empire on YouTube with a subscriber base that does not target you, “the established airline pilot.” Don’t watch his videos if it upsets you soooo much. And put a skirt on it if you are butt hurt that he got a class before others. I got news for you, life’s not fair. If you haven’t figured that out by 30 then maybe that’s why you are still at Envoy waiting for the flow, while the other majors have been in a hiring frenzy the past few years ...you’re too busy complaining about every little thing in your life and not taking action to change it.

He’s a hustler. Probably making more money than you. Youtubers like him don’t get all those subscribers and views and not get paid for it. Be Better.
