Airline Pilot Life: Flying a ✨brand new✨ Boeing 737 MAX! It even has that new airplane smell

  • This Boeing 737 MAX8 had only been at the company 5 DAYS when I got to fly it! So fresh and so clean ✈️ The only way I'd probably get to fly a plane any newer would be on a delivery flight!

    Also, and this is important, I am 100% confident in flying the MAX8. I'd fly it any day of the week with all of my family and friends on board. It's a safe plane and pilots are trained to handle any situation that may come up! Love y'all! ✈️💕

      Wait does southwest have the same displays for the -800 as well, or did you have to do some additional training for this cockpit? Anyway, I love your vids!

      I just flew on a 737 Max 8 Southwest July 3rd from Nashville to Orlando. It was nice. Honestly, I was very apprehensive based upon comments and news. But I figured it has to be one of the safest planes out there now with all of the scruitney it's been under. 🤷‍♀️
