Default Girl or boy

We have more than one youtuber at WN. I don't necessarily care for any of them. Nothing against the individuals, but I'd say keep the camera out of the work place. I must be getting old.

We got some too, it’s fun to toss in a random “like and subscribe” when you’re around them

Hi I’m Mel, this is SoAndSo…like and subscribe, how are you?

Or just confuse onlyfans for YouTube, hey are you the onlyfans guy?

I do appreciate getting paid to watch modules with the basic idea of "be a decent human".

What I don't appreciate is the wasting of SWAPA dues, when SWAPA reps have stated over and over and over to make post such as that.

No doubt ER or CP office already has the post and the hunt is on.

I doubt that and sure hope not. What a waste of Time and resources, trying to hunt down someone for all you know is a HS student. Then again this place makes easy hard, so wasting time and resources trying to hunt down Sasquatch makes perfect sense.


Now I understand why they cut one CP out of every base , it is this kind of thinking of what they do all day long .

While I do not like the ready fire aim process from ER and Dallas in general, I understand it. Enough "aw shucks" discipline has taken place in this joint that we end up with pilots who do things like Mike K from Orlando. Let's face it, some of us should be fired and would in any other normal job.
Social media is an easy and really preventable way to get yourself in trouble. It leaves a written record. Posting a picture of a fellow pilots hind end followed by comments about it is a pretty easy way to find yourself at the wrong end of a long table. Not saying it will happen in this case, but it could. That stuff costs money to defend. Guess who pays for it...

/long-time A-List Preferred SWA fan and friend of a SWA Captain notices potentially costly abuse of company equipment and cavalier attitude towards it exhibited in the video and informs SWA Captain of concerns via email

/SWA Captain forwards said email and echoed concerns to PS

/PS gets back to SWA Captain and states "Chief Pilot says they do a lot for SWA recruiting and we've decided we're not going to pursue this."

/influencer: "Teehee."

Nobody cares. Spinning the altitude knob hard isn't abusing equipment. Are you even a real pilot?
I did once have an old 4 digit codger living in the past tell me to turn the mechanical freq selector in the classics the short way around in order to save wear and tear on the gears. I looked at him like my dog looks at me when I ask him how his day was.

Spinning the altitude pre-selector "hard"... really? I would be more concerned about a captain that thought an altitude pre-selector could actually be damaged by spinning it. You have to wonder what other minor things will cause their blood pressure to sky rocket.
