Sure don’t look like the issue M&H shirts I’ve been wearing, but maybe it’s a special issue from A Cut Above for the Instagram crowd.

The M&H shirts are leftover stock from the good year blimp repair kits.

You’re the self appointed uniform nazi?

I’m no fan of AAG mgt/APA’s choice of M&H. However, perhaps it isn’t a good look to wear non-reg items on IOE, in a photo that might as well be part of recruiting’s social media operation.

GI wisdom: It’s pretty easy to spot jacked up uniforms, just as it’s pretty easy to wear your gear right.

Personally I am more worried about the beer-bellied marshmallows waddling around the airport that don't look right in any kind of shirt.

Do you guys really have nothing better to discuss? It's getting embarrassing.

Want to break out the tape test and some remedial PT just like the Army, eh?

I wonder if anyone else understands the irony of this response. Keep on looking out for those dangerous non-reg shirts, I'm sure many Envoy pilots sleep better at night knowing you are on patrol.

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.

so much this.

Wow, he's quite prolific, too

NoValueAviator 12-02-2018 03:47 PM

He does listicles too?

I can't see how this guy isn't a 787 CA in 2 years.

Is this his debut?

450knotOffice 12-12-2018 10:14 AM

Nicely done.

Cyio 12-13-2018 03:33 AM

lol, is that a Cut Above shirt?

Classic.

griff312 12-13-2018 05:41 AM

Eh, he did a good job. Had all the proper disclosures, was informative, ect. I wonder if Envoy is supplementing him for the use of his vids on the envoy recruitment page, or if he just got ripped off and theybuse it for free?
Now, every time I see it, I'm going to kill a bus full of baby kitten nuns.

I doubt they are paying him. Most companies have a statement in the employment contract about anything produced on company time belongs to the company. But I can assure you he is getting intangible compensation.

Company isn't paying him for it. But with the amount of subscribers he has on his channel and the number of views he's getting on his videos, he's making good money from Youtube. There are people with channels smaller than his that are now doing Youtube full time for a living.

As long as it's done outside of Part 121, what's the issue?

Thats also what his whole "I'm announcing a new series" thing was about with a bullet pointed checklist. You're just looking at the newest member of the recruiting team is all...

Yea, I don't get the angst. It's petty.

He's got the kind of enthusiasm and drive that most do not. He seizes opportunity, and he does it properly.

And so what if the company uses it for Recruitment? Like any company, they need to attract new hires.

Just wait and see what kind of b*tching happens when he gets picked up by a major in 2 years.

Like I said. Intangible compensation.

Swayne is now ORD based. It makes sense that they are redoing to crew room in order to celebrate his arrival. I’m sure they’re will be a lengthy video on the new facilities on G and L in the near future.

What a twist that would be if he did a hit piece on the terrible condition of the crew rooms. Haha.

I didn't watch but if he didn't blast the airline for having some of the worst reserve rules unless you are senior and living in base, he is doing a disservice to his fans.

There is little good to say about it.

dragongoliath 01-06-2019 11:24 AM

His youtube channel can easily generate about $50-60k per year. Making more than a check airman considering FO pay plus youtube. Smart

Coming from another airline I can tell you the reserve rules here are wayyyy better than most other regionals. Sure improvements can be made but they are far from the worst

Agree. But he will never blast as all of the videos are "made with envoy". And, good for him making money, but this pie in the sky junk needs to go. But the second he stops towing the company line, his partnership will end and his channel will cease to exist.

Also, either this dude does nothing but repo flights or he's floating the "filmed part 91" bit just to CH(Y)A.

Or, he is making money off selling management's Kool-aide.

They should just make him management and get it over with.

VIRotate 01-06-2019 05:47 PM

Just curious about who you think does his camera work? Following him down at the gate, during the walk around, etc. Maybe he's giving some of his CAs some of that Youtube money? :D
