Better question, why would anyone think it’s acceptable say that here?

Before you edited your post, you said this was just a rumor.
Got a source for this?

Youtube influencers don't work for free. I'm not a fan, but a lot of people do follow him.

Gotta wonder where his allegiance lies. The airline? His website?



Seems like a conflict of interest for his union brothers at the very least.

I have money saying that he’ll go to mainline after a year in the left seat or no more than 4 years at the regionals. Love him or hate him, he grabbed onto something no one else did and it’s paying off. Can’t fault him for doing his due diligence.

In any other industry he would be celebrated for his motivation and how he hustles. Swayne is what 23? He’s got a degree from one of the best aviation schools in the country, has been an instructor (I assume), flown part 135, part 121, is a good pilot from what I have heard, and he networks like a mofo. Isn’t that what all of us have tried to do? Make ourselves look good on paper so that we can get a call for that coveted interview?

Quiet professionalism is better than doing whatever it takes to get to the majors a couple years early, my opinion.

North Dakota is far from an exceptional school. Pilots act like its Harvard or Stanford. Most aviation schools are second rate universities, at best.

He road around in the right seat of a caravan and logged it. Something that is so laughable, it shouldn't even be legal flight time.

90% certain he's never worked as a CFI.

I don't dislike him. But he doesn't embody hard-work/"earned it" role model status at all.

Lol@ h8rs.

He will definitely be at AA or some other major in under 2 years.

Yeah no. He won’t even be upgraded and trained as a captain in the time, or have just barely gotten there. Unless YouTube skills now trumps turbine pic time he has a ways to go. Imagine what the media would do with that. Young YouTube sensation now flies a320’s for AA solely because he has lots of followers, safety and experience take a back seat.

Have to be real careful as an employer how you go about hiring people because if you set a precedent, others will expect the same treatment, right or wrong.

I’m that topic, minorities and women are about to lose their golden ticket as well with the new law about to be passed stating sex is how you identify not what you are born as. Every white male Should update their app to reflect the changes, once they happen. It’s going to be a crap storm for awhile.
