Some of it is kinda neat but I’ve noticed generally everyone with a username of “pilot” before their name on Instagram/YouTube seems to absolutely crave attention, the ones with the never ending inspirational quotes are even worse...purely in my opinion.
I think I read PSA had one of their guys fired recently for social media posts inside the airport while on duty, not even on an airplane.

God those accounts are so annoying. I imagine it’s hard to not let it go to your head when you post a picture of your coffee and get 300+ comments from aspiring pilots and avgeeks fawning over you.

The company has done up some cheesy top gun stuff for promotion though.
