It’s like running the Boston Marathon to get a bowl of chowder.

Bragging about your 3,800 mile commute to fly a Caravan for $18/hr. TOTD.
Posting Swayne Martin on this thread should be cheating - among tools, he stands alone as possibly the biggest douche in this industry. His video about creating a GoFundMe for the Riddle grad with $270k of debt so she could go make $18k/yr wasting space in the right seat of a Caravan takes the cake though IMO. Thanks, Swayne, for helping take advantage of stupid people on the internet to subsidize the comically low pay at your "airline," thus helping ensure that nothing will ever change in this business!

Wow! Misogyny AND racism all in one short post? Awe-inspiring.

For the record, she'll get the job before him because he is a contemptible, gigantic turd.

Then again, I think that's in the "start an aviation YouTube channel" terms of service.

I guess 85% of those hired being white male is too low chances for you. That's not very Tier 1 at all.

Welcome to the whole new world of pilot recruitment. It's all targeted to the YOLO generation. Anything to get them to work for free. Ryan Air has been doing this for a while now with pilot recruiters posting instagram accounts to show what an adventurous life you can live as a pilot. Forget supporting a family or funding your own retirement, just think of the adventures! YOLO

Stop crying, he is right. If you are a woman or other minority the red Sea is parted for you in this industry.
