Plus, this particular video was uploaded before the union announcement you guys are talking about.

Again, no. The new pay negotiations started in April. But, I don't really see him pro management vs not. He's taking advantage of Envoy giving him exclusive rights to social media coverage while every other pilot is essentially barred from it. I'm very sure recruiters from United, Delta, American, etc have seen his videos, and he probably won't be in the regional game for that long.

Great, I dont think a single person said he wasn't a great person/pilot/human being. All but a very select few have zero issues with him as a person or coworker.

All we said was that we feel he should hold off on any new videos until this AIP issue has been resolved. Are we really asking that much? Make the videos, produce the videos, have Envoy management bless the videos, just dont post any new ones until this is over.

Its really a pretty simple request, why it has spiraled into this huge issue is beyond me. As for his post on IG, yeah sure, thanks, however it was pretty white washed.

If only Youtube had a button that allowed content creators to set a video from public to private or unlisted...

Alternatively, especially since he is going to recruiting events, I hope he is getting paid as a recruiter. If he is giving Envoy free publicity, well, c'mon man.

Is it just me, or is Swayne sounding better and better as a name now?


Look at the bright side, Envoy has a strong "regional union" in ALPA that will take care of things. That 2% investment "insurance" is really going to pay off.;)

Swayne shilling for mokulele. Starts a gofundme to get a CFI enough money to move to Hawaii and work poverty wages flying the caravan "airliner", undercutting the industry and subsidizing mokuleles embarrassing wages. This is pretty unethical.

2 years ago.

For contrast: Or he saw someone that needed an opportunity to build flight time when she couldn’t afford to get her CFI? Sounds like she needed to get over the “hours” hump to make it to a regional carrier and begin paying off some loans.

Sorry I keep interjecting here, especially since I only know of Swayne through mutual friends... But it really ticks me off how much, and how often, people tear this guy apart. He’s done a better job than you ever will to get people involved in this career path... His videos are one of the reasons I started flying in the first place years ago.

I wouldn't take things so personally, this is forum and known for this. While I dont agree with him posting recruiting videos right now, and yes, that is exactly what they are, I certainly hold no ill feelings toward him.

Years ago???

Yeah, 2 years ago. Shows he's been a management shill since the beginning. He's obviously got enough mommy/daddy money, some of us actually have to live on these wages.
