Almost Captain
 
Please guys handle this. If you don't know what I'm talking about, good, move on. If you do shut this down before everyone is subject to a HbA1c test and a psyc evaluation. It's more than just embarrassing for the profession, it's a real blow to public confidence at a time our industy is under the microscope.

Or you could just do what most of us do and keep
scrolling. I know, it's hard.

Is she still around? I almost forgot about her. What cringe.

Out of all the pilot influencers. She has to be the top 5 cringes. But all you can do is keep scrolling.

Heavy-duty landing gear mod with red hair?

I’ve seen some of her vids.

Ya.

How exactly would you propose we "handle" this? As long as she's not violating the FOM or social media policy there's no harm, besides the perceived professional embarrassment. And if you're not careful in how you approach the situation you could easily find yourself on the wrong end of a bullying/harassment investigation. So if it were me in the other seat I'd be more than happy to let her have her 15 minutes of fame while I stay safely outside of camera view.

Exactly plus it’s not like this is a WN problem. Fairly certain we all have this subset of pilot influencers in our ranks.

I don’t know anything about it except what I’ve gathered here. However, it sounds like the public is getting a heavy dose of exactly what they need to know but isn’t allowed to be spoken. Let them see it for themselves.
