It's soooo insufferable. Are you kidding me? He's a liar. Flying isn't like that. Yeah, maybe he'll be my boss someday, but he'll make the kind of boss that everyone hates.
I just don't like when pilots exaggerate the job. We drive a machine around. A lot of idiots do this job and it's fuarking easy, but so many people like Swayne puff up their chests and paint a totally ridiculous picture of professional flying.

Tell you what: you fly 8 legs a day every day with no FA with 5-20 minute turns and tell us all how you won’t be fatigued by the end of the day. He actually said he still enjoyed it, even after that. My guess is you’d whine like a little kid after one day.

Wow, who knew a little 22 yr old could make so many grown men b*tch and moan. He just went to ATP-CTP last week. Ran into him at ORD last week, I doubt many if any of y'all have even had a conversation with this kid. He was respectable and upfront when I talked with him.
Also, for those saying he will get 175 DFW, he lives in ORD and that's where he wants to be based. When I talked to him last week he said he wouldn't even be opposed to riding out the CRJ and getting displaced to come down on top of those b*tching 175 FO drivers!
(I added the b*itching part..)

The ONLY reason I replied to this thread is because I found it so messed up that you have a brand new FO heading into an airline, granted, a well known one, and you have an ENTIRE thread smacking this guy down on your forum. Are you kidding me? Get a life. This shouldn't even be allowed on here.

The videos posted here actually seem to be honest, straightforward, and quite refreshing. Maybe it's the Hawaii views. I imagine his video style will change a bit to reflect the airline environment and perhaps a changing and more hateful audience... So, maybe hold back on the bashing until he at least posts an actual video about flying the line at Envoy.

Something about a "take care of the log on your own eye before you complain about the splinter in your neighbor's eye". Some of you are wasting so much time getting all worked up about this kid posting youtube videos, when it's frankly none of your business. Surely you have something better to do with your time, yes??? Maybe let it go, and go study. Practice your manual weight and balance, learn how to figure out Bingo fuel and how to figure out MTOW based on runway, climb limit, and MLW w/ enroute fuel burn.

There is a whiff of narcissism that comes out of authoring hours and hours of material about your day-to-day. As a millennial with plenty of experience with vlog type content creators, this is hardly ever completely unwarranted. However, I think most of the butthurt stems from the perception that Envoy will give him preferential treatment, like letting him record Envoy's operations while admonishing others for doing the same, or making sure he gets the good fleet in class; although, as others have pointed out, the last few classes have been Anointed Ones anyway.
