Here Comes Swayne
 

Please make it stop.

What is it with these YouTube clowns?

I would like to see his next series of footage from the depressing crew room sitting standby.

Meh...he's less douchey than Chavez.

He needs to brush up on the social media policy of his new employer.

Yeah a podcast from the JFK crew closet sitting standby while he gets reprimanded for turning on the light would be excellent.

oh just wait, he'll be posting Envoy sanctioned vlogs as recruiting tools

Wanna see how all the emails about no pics no videos are gonna apply to him

Also, maybe because he was treated special he will be able to hold 175 DFW the first day ::)

You guys are missing the point. This guy is a digital marketer who also happens to be a pilot. Envoy probably signed an agreement with him to do a bunch of online marketing and vlogs for them to his whole subscriber base. These YouTube celebrities make good money doing things like this for companies.

Swayne’s target audience isn’t established pilots, it’s all the wannabes and the private pilots out there who get excited watching these cheesy videos. 90% of his YouTube subscribers probably have less than 5 hours total time.

I mean really.....

Well that guy voluntarily wears the hate AND long sleeves. Flying him must be one long a** trip...

I can already feel the micromanaging now when he upgrades. RIP to FOs who have to fly with him.

We don’t care about the company purposes. The guy for sure got a class before lots of people that have been waiting a lot. Company crying about others taking pics and videos and will approve just this guy. Yeah right, no princesses in here.

What a tool.

Is it possible he's a DEC? Serious question....I'm not very up to speed on what exactly counts towards the upgrade and if any of his time at his last gig qualifies him for a DEC slot.

He was flying C208 for a Part 135 company in Hawaii. I don’t think that time counts to be a DEC.

Odds this guy gets the much less photogenic Embraer in class predicted to be less than zero, analysts say.

Probably 145, it will be a “set-up” if he gets the 175. Will be clear that the company wants him for Videos and promo.

Everyone in this thread needs to grow up. Bunch of damn 30year olds picking on a 22year old trying to get his feet wet in a new career. Get off his back. He’s built an empire on YouTube with a subscriber base that does not target you, “the established airline pilot.” Don’t watch his videos if it upsets you soooo much. 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.

leave britney alone!

What if you’re over 50 and haven’t figured it out yet😁

I’m 62, I retire in 3 years. What about me?

I know this guy from UND... he passed his interview in February so I’m not sure what you mean by him “not waiting” for a class date ?

Even if they did move up his class date it shouldn't matter. If the company wants to hire someone and have him create videos that may help recruiting that is a company decision. Not saying that's what happened just saying this thread complaining about someone who may or may not have had a class date moved up is dumb. He seems professional so who cares.

What’s up with y’all needing to instagram and YouTube everything? Heard this cat was on the blacklist for several other carriers. Major tool

This is what's confusing me. Why is the thought process that he must have jumped the line and therefore the company bumped him up in order to secure free advertising? What am I missing here?

People are assuming that he took the job offer, reported to YouTube about it, and is going into ground school all in a very short time span. As opposed to interviewing in the winter, keeping hush about it, and announcing his start at Envoy right before he starts training.

I don’t get it either. Clearly this was a long term plan. From what I heard he interviewed in February and that video was probably filmed over a month ago.

He gave up that much seniority to go to Envoy? Damn

Why a set up? Every FO in the last two classes got DFL or OFL other than one guy who actually wanted NFE and chose it.


Getting 175 has been pretty much a lock for the last month or so. The people worried now are the ones who want LGA or MIA.

United Duece for the cameo

I’m waiting for the naked Delta pilot that got locked out of his hotel room wearing is flip flops, being an extra in the next installment.

I'm happy for the smug dudes showing up for these all 175 classes but if they freeze hiring on the 145 for more than a couple months I'm going to be upset. Stuck on a comically overstaffed fleet in the middle of a 30-80 pilot reserve list in a ****ty base for eternity, getting no hours, no thanks. FO seat lock must go.

See that bunch of dudes over there? That's CRJ FOs, get right behind them in the line

Gladly. CRJ went super senior in my class and everyone was very happy to have dodged the NYC bullet though.

It's not a bad seat living in base, if you're ok with not flying a lot (i.e longer upgrade time), commuting its a murder.

If you open his video description, it says "Filmed in partnership with Envoy Air". Pretty clear this is a deal with company and he'll be allowed to film in all the places that us commoners can't. 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...

Clearly a set up

They could start him on Sunday in his own special class thus circumventing the Monday class and ensuring he gets the 175.
