Captain Quick he didn't literally mean happy. Think outside the box.

Could be, but I remember he made a video about getting his CFI early on on his senior year so ifk why he wouldn’t instruct there. Also, North Dakota rarely has WX conducive for PPL training so I’d guess that being a CFII would be the minimum. That’s just a guess though

Unless you can back those statements up with indisputable evidence, I’ll assume you’re making **** up.

Give us your proof.

Some of you guys are real d*cks.
I bet if you flew with him, you wouldn't treat him the way you do in here. Talking about your colleagues like that online is pretty pathetic.
Grow up.

I never met him personally and honestly could care less about the guy other than I think it is utter **** that someone with a YouTube channel would get any priority over someone else. Yes, I will tell that to his face.

Also could care less what way his personal preferences go, but again I don’t think that should be a determination of employment either.

He’s a member of NGPA which has no bearing on him as a person or professional, but he is a member of a protected class.

So what? You can join as an ALLy and get all of the same benefits. Why does that mean anything? I have a son who is gay, does that somehow make me or him more or less qualified for a position in aviation? I encourage him to work hard and earn everything that he achieves, not get there through some organization.

PS Didn't mean to quote you MD.

Why are you so upset over this?

He said so twice in his own video. Is that enough proof for you?

He earned his CFI/II through UND, was never hired. Only job has been pulling gear in a caravan. Why do you think he's sitting in the left seat of all his 172 videos?

Pan Am, Eastern, TWA and Braniff were the 'legacies' 40 years ago. I don't think it 's a stretch to believe that the legacies of today won't exist in 40 years. The pilot profession as a whole will probably look a lot different if it still exists.

No worries at all. It doesn’t matter to me who I fly next to, or who they choose to love, be they heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, bisexual, trisexual, quadrisexual, pansexual, transexual, omnisexual or that thing where the chick ties the belt around your neck and tinkles on a ballon, it has absolutely nothing to do with who we are as people. All that matters is that they are safe, and that they don’t chop the power and try to flare at 80’. Swayne is open and proud of who he is and even though he qualifies as a minority and a protected class, he doesn’t seem to exploit it.

I've been following hundreds of YT content creators for years (non-aviation). I haven't watched "television" in a decade.

He strikes me, whilst examining his videos, as someone with ZERO sense of humor. No traces of levity to be found. No sense of irony. No semblance of satire. I feel like I'm getting information from a machine intelligence.

Excellent camerawork and editing, though. The music is grotesque. Being constrained by what's in the catalogue of public domain doesn't mean it has to suck.

I gave him a subscription.
