There’s another United guy that does TikTok’s. He’s actually pretty informative for people learning about aviation and overall doesn’t make an a$$ of himself. Seems like a solid dude.

Haha! The different generations of pilots and subsequent attitudes are making themselves known in this thread. Older guys like me hate narcissists like the tik tok dude, and younger folks who berate “slam clickers” love the narcissism and think *he’s being bullied.

You can be a good guy in the cockpit AND be a slam clicker. .

As you get older and have a wife, kids, and a mortgage, slam clicking keeps you employed.

Bingo.

Realizing that your JOB is a JOB is quite useful.

Understanding that it is not your social life nor is it the subject of your amateur reality show is a healthy approach. Maybe find your self-worth in more important areas.

It's been a full decade since the last big bloodletting in this industry. It's really starting to show in the crowd that actually thinks the company or the public gives a damn.

I can’t imagine my dad carrying on via an Instagram account at his engineering firm. His and others 317atry is astounding.

You’d be amazed at how many followers and “likes” these guys get. Even the super cringey douche bags. Enough for a second stream of income…not kidding.

There are a lot of questionable ways to legally earn money - doesn't make it smart, right, appropriate, etc.

In this case inappropriate wins the day.
