I’m in the industry and I have no idea who you are talking about.
The average pax does not care about some woman’s YouTube channel

That pilot - whether one of the cringey influencers or not - is remotely tied to the BS. So I disagree that it is 100% without damage to our profession.

I agree they don't care; just like I don't, but to act like its innocuous is a bit off the mark. Did you see/hear (from non-pilots) any $hitty comments about pilot influencers after the chick rolled the CRJ? I did. Now that individual may not have had cringey social content at all, but some of the comments were along the lines of, less attention to insta, more attention to being able to land a jet.

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.

The average pax does not care about some woman’s YouTube channel, the average pax couldn’t pick their CA&FO out of a line up, the crew is not interesting to them…at all
The average pax is concerned with:
The screaming child behind them
The fatty overflowing into their seat
WTF that smell is
The plane being delayed/broken again
Being molested by the smurfs again
The big flight attendants ass rubbing them every time they walk back
Not having room for their approved carry on
Etc

Totally missed my point, but it doesn’t matter. It’s totally personal opinion. You think these tools do nothing to the image of the industry overall, and I disagree with that sentiment. At the end of the day, management, for the most part, seems to love them, so they aren’t going anywhere regardless.

From a pax standpoint the airlines are a race to the bottom, all the things I mentioned are why riding a airliner went from a prestigious event to riding a metro bus in the publics opinion
Most pax view airline travel as a needed evil in their schedule, thinking they are searching out airline pilot vblogger videos is LAUGHABLE, frankly if they could teleport themselves to where they have to go and avoid our whole industry they would…in a heartbeat
These days airlines are a metro bus as far as most every non pilot is concerned, get on and get off as fast as you can and get on with your day

Most pilots could wear pajamas and the pax wouldn’t notice, we got these security doors too, and NO ONE CARES

All I was saying in my comment - which is only my opinion - is that I was agreeing with the guy you disagreed with when he said she’s an embarrassment to the industry. To THOSE OF US IN THE INDUSTRY. Yes pax don’t give a $hit; yes, race to the bottom; yes, greyhound bus. And these tools do more to perpetuate those opinions than stop them.
Only my opinion; just commenting. You have yours. No need to try so hard to tell me I’m wrong.

I remember hearing a CA go on and on about appearance, backpacks, etc, all while he had a bubbler gut hanging a few inches over his belt.
