100 Hours flying for United!... But I don't want to experience these flights alone. What do you want to see behind the scenes of being a pilot at United?
Had a family friend who was an aircraft mechanic with United. A look at the many craft trades needed to keep those 757/'67's in the air would be really interesting.
I used to watch you when you started your job in Hawaii, and that doesn't even feel that long ago. Crazy how you are flying the 767 at such a young age. You are motivational for me.
@@SwayneMartinPilot Aloha Swayne would you do me a big favor could you review our Hawaii inspired apparel my mom created the design concepts we have many designs to choose from from sea life to mermaids and much more and different styles of apparel we live on the big island with our 9 rescue animals in ocean view can I get a email to send you the link and 10% of yearly proceeds will go to charities that help people and animals I'm a big aviation enthusiasts I watch all the air crash investigation episodes you really learn a lot and how every accident tragically have made flying safer
@@SwayneMartinPilot way to go to be at such a young age flying for United I wish you the very best always can't wait for you to fly the new Airbus a321 XLR that's a beauty of a plane we are moving from the Big Island to Conway South Carolina we are tired of doing 3 hours of driving every day commuting from home to work in Kona it's exhausting on my mom who drives over 18 hours plus a week
WOW, I started watching this channel when Swayne had just started flying for Mokelele airlines in Hawaii! Now he's flying Boeing 757's. He's living my dream!
I’m 50 years old and your journey has been SO inspiring to me, I retired from a 25 year business career, bought a Cessna 172 and I’ve logged 35 hours in hopes of doing my solo and checkride here soon. When I watch your videos, I’m so excited that I’m headed to a fast track school to get my training quicker. This… flying… it’s all I want to do. Thanks Swayne!
This video was exactly what I needed. I needed motivation to help me realize why I started flight training in the first place. You have no idea, how much this video inspired me. Thank you! I would love to see more videos of your life as a pilot.
Well, good luck to you - you will need it. It may look good now, but it will not last. The next crises will always come and stop you dead in your tracks. After 36 years as an airline pilot for 14 airlines - including four majors like Pan Am, I retired at United barely able to get off reserve on the most junior airplane and most junior base. (BTW, they totally ignored my retirement flight. They would not give me a choice of a trip and said if I wanted to have SOMEONE from the Chief Pilot office greet me, I would have to put in a request, and if someone was free at the time, they would send him out. Not like in the movies.) Everything depends on your luck and timing. You never get rewarded for your experience. And don't think this video is typical of your actual trips. I can't remember the last time ANYONE on a layover went out to dinner together. The Flight Attendants are all slam-clicks. Most of the time you don't even go to the same hotel. This video is like propaganda. I know you don't want to believe that, but you will see...
How far are you in Flight Training? I’m finishing up stage 1 of my ppl and it’s been quite the journey ALREADY. taking my written next week, as well as my first solo (if i can ever get past some landing struggles😅)

@@AdventureswithaaronB Then go for it. Just know that how your career goes depends totally on luck. Right age, right time, right airline. I have been furloughed at least ten times, gone through almost as many airline bankruptcies, and the mergers of major airlines two times. In both mergers I got the short end of the stick. In fact, in one merger, the other pilot group tried to take away 100% of my seniority. You may be the lucky one with a normal good career...
This is great! I fly United a lot transatlantic on the 57 and 67 to the UK and Germany and France! I’m so happy my favorite UA-cam pilot is flying for them! Congrats Swayne, you’ve earned this :)
You're career has grown leaps and bounds Swayne. It's like watching one of your favorite family members go from a AAA ball club all the way to the big show. You're an inspriation for a lot of aviators, young and old. It's proof that if you set a solid work ethic, and love what you do - you will succeed. Congrats on that 1st 100. Can't wait to experience your first 1,000.
As a kid years ago the 757 was the first flight deck I visited, back in the day you could go and have a look. I have always loved aviation since that day. Have fun, you have the best job in the world!
What a great video, and an amazing career you have ahead of you! My grandfathers were both engineers for Boeing, and one of them was part of the 757 design team and loved that plane. I have loved United Airlines since I was 10 years old and got to meet Al Haynes after a flight, and have spent many happy hours flying on United ever since. So anytime I get to fly on a United 757, it is a slice of heaven for me. Perhaps I’ll have the pleasure of meeting you in the air someday. Congratulations on this truly fantastic achievement!! It’s a really special thing.
Well done, Swayne! I first discovered you when you went to fly in Hawaii. What a long road, and you handled the twists and turns excellently. All the best, and happy landings AND takeoffs.
Flying 757/767 at United gives you the most varied and interesting flying possible at a Major US airline. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us!
You have every right to brag. You worked hard, made sacrifices and now get to enjoy the fruits of your labors. CONGRATS And thanks for taking us along.
Swayne. I’m stunned by awe of your success! Congratulations on the 100 hours for piloting the 757 and 767! Now you’re beginning to see the world while doing something you enjoy so much! I am extremely happy for you! All I can do is continue to wish you my personal best always for a successful career and a “happy life”! Take Sam along sometime too! Again congratulations! Mark in Iowa.
I have been following you for a number of years. I am so happy to see you doing so well, finally flying longhaul international as you dreamed. United is lucky to have someone who has been so focused on and dedicated to his profession since before he could even drive a car. So happy for you Swayne
Whenever I catch a flight, I look around and hope this brilliant young man (such passion!) Is the pilot! Haven't been so lucky yet! Love following your career Swayne! Proud of you and what you bring to those following in your footsteps. Has been fun to follow along on your journey!
Absolutely amazing to see the difference between flying regional and flying international. Epic videography and stoked for you to be on the mighty 767 :)
Congratulations on the hard-earned and well deserved jump to the majors! I've watched your journey and it has been truly inspirational for many- including myself.
Nice video Swayne! So I’m curious, how often will you be flying domestic vs international since the 75 and 76 do both? Like would you fly domestic for one week and then international the next week? Or do you just choose whatever flight you want? I’m curious about how all that works, thanks.
Amazing video! I want to be a pilot for the same reasons. Sure, I’ve “seen” the world through the internet, and read about cultures, but I thought to myself earlier this year, “I haven’t experienced anything.” Since then, I have been super excited about flying, and am hoping to go to Purdue, Auburn, or any other United Aviate school to get my degree. Discovered you earlier this week, and am loving your videos. I can’t wait to be where you are at!
@@Jack-1595 I'll tell you this, I just started my freshmen year at UND and so far, it's incredible. UND literally has the best aviation program in the country. Plus, if you go through UND, you only need 1,000 flight hours logged for the airlines to hire you instead of the traditional 1,500 hours, which is a huge benefit and time saver. I do highly recommend UND, plus a lot of us here are very familiar with Swayne's UA-cam channel!
Swayne I'm totally excited and stoked for you and your new journey with United. I was at UA for 23 years EWR based as Aircraft Maintenance, starting with Continental Airlines. Wish I were still there to meet you up in terminal C!! I'll keep watching your awesome videos and hopefully be able to meet you someday!! I'm truly inspired by your story, which drives me to finish up my ratings and pursue my dream of being in the flight deck. Thank you
I just finished my first Type Rating on the Citation XLS+ last week, with line training starting coming Friday. I can only tell anyone who's thinking of pursuing this career, to stick with it because it is 100% worth it when you first push those thrust levers forward on your first take off in a jet. Keep up the good work Swayne, always a pleasure to watch your videos!
Hey Swayne, this is incredible. I have a question about long-haul flying. Generally, when you fly to Europe, how long do you stay before flying home? Can you stay for only 24 hours or even up to half a week before flying home? Great video!
I got on this fleet. Very eye-opening video for what's in store for me. I'm also going to be 756 EWR. I'll be sure to say hello if and when I run into you.
Its been eye opening to see your rapid career progression. I'm jealous about it too. I've been trying to break into the industry, but my road has been much more rocky. Getting there, but at a much slower pace. Congratulations Swayne! I appreciate the motivation!
I have been following you for many years and way before your first pilot job in Hawaii. You really deserve this, and now you are reaping everything you planted with devotion, love and perseverance. I am very proud you are where you are today!!! 👏👏👏👏
United must be so proud to have you as one of their team. You’re a great ambassador for the airline and for aviation … and an inspiration for those who dream of a career in the skies.
Excellent videos Swayne, I was originally wanting to become a commercial pilot but went into the maintenance side as a A&P, I work for Boeing now but did get my private pilots license in 98
The last time that i saw a video of your channel a lot time ago, you already still flying the small ERJ (ENY), this is amazing to see you already fly the boeing 757-67, regards from MEX!!!
I've been following you on your journey for several years young man ...retired F14 Tomcat driver here...... it's incredible ....you're parents should be proud of you....i would feel very comfortable knowing you are in the cockpit...God Speed
Your video quality is outstanding and stunning! Also, your content is amazing. You do such a great job of sharing all the aspects of training to future pilots and arm chair aviation enthusiasts! So glad you had such special trips on this journey!!
So happy for you! So awesome....you need to get on that Island Hopper flight brother (it might be a 737 though that takes that trip). United is AWESOME. God bless you and keep the videos coming. We miss you when you are not on even though we know you are getting new time on the new equipment!
Thank you so much for your VERY WELL made videos. I haven't seen any of yours lately but did watch a few of when you were flying for Mokele. My wife is a UNITED FA (hired Nov 95). She doesnt do too much international but since coming back from the Covid furlows, her seniority allows her to hold LAX-Hawaii now. Congratulations on your career. I dont know you but I'm proud of you. Maybe one day, my wife will be on your crew out or EWR.
As someone almost halfway through their hours grind to ATP this is the perfect motivational video to keep making my post work 4-6hr rides worth it. United is a hopeful landing spot for me post regionals due to the hubs. Keep the videos coming!

Man, I've been watching you since you first started Mokulele Airlines. The progression through your career has been amazing to witness. You're an inspiration, Swayne. I hope to one day be able to fly commercially.
Congratulations! I've been following your videos since your first company in Hawaii. An immense joy to accompany your trajectory of dedication and success. You are an example!
Swayne this is super inspirational. I shared it with my 17 y/o daughter who is planning to become a pilot. She is dual enrolled in college as a HS junior. She should graduate with an AA and her PPL. This video will help light the fire of emotions she needs to keep her motivated. She hopes to travel someday and this proves aviation will help you do that. Thanks for making this it helps others even when you don't know it. Sincerely, a very appreciative Father. Steve D
wow so cool, I just got my first 100hrs period lol, waiting on my PPL check ride (Started 3 years ago) but now I'm at ATP would love to work for United
Welcome to the 57 and 67 gang, Swayne. You‘ll tons of fun flying these two beauties. I wanted to commend you on the cinematic quality of your video footage, really awesome stuff. And it looked like your schedule had a Berlin layover in stock for you? Hope you‘ll have a great time in Germany.
So Happy for you! You look like the poster boy for United's pilot program, great video, I have been watching you since your Hawaii video's, Keep going strong!
My dad worked for United for 38 years as a mechanic so I fly United all the time. My first time flying 757-300 was from Honolulu to LAX. Usually fly 777 to and from Hawaii. Never flew on the 767 that I can recall but did a lot of traveling on the 757 200
Nothing better than living your dream. I've been a career Firefighter/Paramedic for over 7 years and I'm living the career I dreamed of 15 or 16 years ago.
Congratulations for your progress since Hawaii. I follow you since then, this is impressive. I wish you all the best for the continuation of your career.
Being a person terribly anxious / uncomfortable with flying, as the "lack of control" I have when I drive a car, it's nice to see how comfortable pilots are flying. Any tips to getting over flight anxiety? Making a video might be good!
I started watching your videos and charted your progression when you were flying in Hawaii. Congratulations on reaching your goals. You serve as an inspiration to others who aspire to become a pilot. I look forward to more of your videos.
I've had a passion and urge to become an airline pilot but, due to lack of funding never pursued it. It's real awesome to watch your videos and practically live thru the experiences with you. Keep doing well, it's clear you were born for it!
Was just talking about you just a few days ago to another subscriber friend of mine on how you haven't posted a video in a while. Glad to see your new video and wanna congratulate you on finishing up your 100 hours. Looking forward to your next video. Hopefully you do another 360 video of your new planes. Stay safe.
Congratulatuons on making it to the 757/767. the 757-200 with the RR RB211 engine is one of my all time favourite air frames. here in the UK they are slowly phasing them out of service.
Congrats Swayne, I have been following your videos from day one. It truly amazing what you have accomplished now flying the big jets 757-767 hopefully one day you will get to fly the 787. Thank you to United Airlines for allowing you to post these wonderful aviation videos and I hope they continue to support you in sharing with us aviation fans of yours.
Swayne my friend (may I call you that?). I have been viewing all of your vlogs since the beginning and to see you in that stunning uniform, the new set of wings and flying my ultimate favorite ship, the 757 just tells me you have incredible drive, know what you want and how to get there. Part of my family heritage is from Norway (back to the early 1800s) so thanks for the vids on that country. I never doubted you nor your skills and knowledge from the first PF and PM flying days on the Embraer's and now you are still climbing that personal and professional trail. I am so proud of you and your vids have given me much joy during some of the worse down time recently. Did Sam shoot any of this video? Know you will be in the left seat soon enough and I do hope I can catch a United flight with you in the 'front office' at some point. Be well and continue to fly safe.
I’m stating flight school around the end of this year. I hope to see you somewhere out there once I make it to the airlines. Thanks for guiding and inspiring me to never give up on my dreams. safe travels ❤️
I remember watching your videos back when you were a student at UND and i was a student at ERAU (the first video i ever watched was the food delivery to the dorms. it was chipotle i think?) Fast forwards years later, you're flying 75/76 at United and i'm waiting to start flying a320s (no thank to covid delays). What a few years it has been!
I have been a subscriber for years. Your journey has been so valuable to follow. It has been a ton of fun to see. My bucket list includes an announcement that I hear that you are a pilot on a flight that I am a passenger. Thanks for sharing. Happy subscriber😊!
100 Hours flying for United!... But I don't want to experience these flights alone. What do you want to see behind the scenes of being a pilot at United?
A Day in the life of a pilot at United kind of vlog 🤩
We want to see the trips you get after consolidation! The most junior..
Far out, Swayne...congratulations...wish they'd let you put a static camera in the cockpit.
Had a family friend who was an aircraft mechanic with United. A look at the many craft trades needed to keep those 757/'67's in the air would be really interesting.
Would be great to see a video on the differences between the 75 and 76.
I used to watch you when you started your job in Hawaii, and that doesn't even feel that long ago. Crazy how you are flying the 767 at such a young age. You are motivational for me.
Thanks for watching all this time, Ben!

Thank you so much! These take immense time, so I'm happy to hear you liked it :)
Yes. It was hard to tell the stock footage from your own. Excellent quality.
Almost like united helped put it together to show pilots they’re process.
Blown away by all the hard amazing work behind the video should be millions of views. Keep up the amazing work 😊

Wish I were still there to meet you up in terminal C!! I'll keep watching your awesome videos and hopefully be able to meet you someday!! I'm truly inspired by your story, which drives me to finish up my ratings and pursue my dream of being in the flight deck. Thank you
How many guitars have you broken
I just finished my first Type Rating on the Citation XLS+ last week, with line training starting coming Friday.
I can only tell anyone who's thinking of pursuing this career, to stick with it because it is 100% worth it when you first push those thrust levers forward on your first take off in a jet.
Keep up the good work Swayne, always a pleasure to watch your videos!
Hey Swayne, this is incredible. I have a question about long-haul flying. Generally, when you fly to Europe, how long do you stay before flying home? Can you stay for only 24 hours or even up to half a week before flying home? Great video!
Doesn’t matter because airline employees get nonrev and ZED benefits. Swayne knows what I’m talking about 😉.
I got on this fleet. Very eye-opening video for what's in store for me. I'm also going to be 756 EWR. I'll be sure to say hello if and when I run into you.
Good to see you back flying Swayne.
Also, Norway?! Certainly a far cry from hopping around the Midwest.
Its been eye opening to see your rapid career progression. I'm jealous about it too. I've been trying to break into the industry, but my road has been much more rocky. Getting there, but at a much slower pace. Congratulations Swayne! I appreciate the motivation!
Let’s go new video good job swayne love all of your video!
I have been following you for many years and way before your first pilot job in Hawaii. You really deserve this, and now you are reaping everything you planted with devotion, love and perseverance. I am very proud you are where you are today!!! 👏👏👏👏
Hey Swane, I have a question. How did you go about deciding what airline to fly for? Great, video! Thanks!
like every other job
What base they off like where do you want to live and the pay
United must be so proud to have you as one of their team. You’re a great ambassador for the airline and for aviation … and an inspiration for those who dream of a career in the skies.
Swayne’s videos are hands down the best aviation videos on UA-cam
Excellent videos Swayne, I was originally wanting to become a commercial pilot but went into the maintenance side as a A&P, I work for Boeing now but did get my private pilots license in 98
Let’s goooooooo🎉
This looks like such a mesmerizing career. To get to wake up everyday and travel the world for a living…such awe
The last time that i saw a video of your channel a lot time ago, you already still flying the small ERJ (ENY), this is amazing to see you already fly the boeing 757-67, regards from MEX!!!
Thank y’all also for being so kind to us ramp agents. Glad you are doing great doing what you love too do
Wow!!! Congrats on ur 100 hrs. Thanks so much for sharing ur experience and layovers. Keep smiling 😃 ✈
I've been following you on your journey for several years young man ...retired F14 Tomcat driver here...... it's incredible ....you're parents should be proud of you....i would feel very comfortable knowing you are in the cockpit...God Speed
Your video quality is outstanding and stunning! Also, your content is amazing. You do such a great job of sharing all the aspects of training to future pilots and arm chair aviation enthusiasts! So glad you had such special trips on this journey!!
So happy for you! So awesome....you need to get on that Island Hopper flight brother (it might be a 737 though that takes that trip). United is AWESOME. God bless you and keep the videos coming. We miss you when you are not on even though we know you are getting new time on the new equipment!
I was on the Dubrovnik flight on the 22nd of July! I thought I may have heard your voice on the PA, looks like it was!
I’ve been watching you since you were at UND yourself. Now I am currently a UND student and in AVIT 102 and about to do my first stage check.
I would only hire UND or Embry Riddle graduates, I would never hire anybody from ATP. Period!
That’s awesome ! Congratulations and good luck. I feel like I was there yesterday! Have so much fun
Thank you so much for your VERY WELL made videos. I haven't seen any of yours lately but did watch a few of when you were flying for Mokele. My wife is a UNITED FA (hired Nov 95). She doesnt do too much international but since coming back from the Covid furlows, her seniority allows her to hold LAX-Hawaii now. Congratulations on your career. I dont know you but I'm proud of you. Maybe one day, my wife will be on your crew out or EWR.
As someone almost halfway through their hours grind to ATP this is the perfect motivational video to keep making my post work 4-6hr rides worth it. United is a hopeful landing spot for me post regionals due to the hubs. Keep the videos coming!
Well, good luck to you - you will need it. It may look good now, but it will not last. The next crises will always come and stop you dead in your tracks. After 36 years as an airline pilot for 14 airlines - including four majors like Pan Am, I retired at United barely able to get off reserve on the most junior airplane and most junior base. (BTW, they totally ignored my retirement flight. They would not give me a choice of a trip and said if I wanted to have SOMEONE from the Chief Pilot office greet me, I would have to put in a request, and if someone was free at the time, they would send him out. Not like in the movies.) Everything depends on your luck and timing. You never get rewarded for your experience. And don't think this video is typical of your actual trips. I can't remember the last time ANYONE on a layover went out to dinner together. The Flight Attendants are all slam-clicks. Most of the time you don't even go to the same hotel. This video is like propaganda. I know you don't want to believe that, but you will see...
Man, I've been watching you since you first started Mokulele Airlines. The progression through your career has been amazing to witness. You're an inspiration, Swayne. I hope to one day be able to fly commercially.
Congratulations! I've been following your videos since your first company in Hawaii. An immense joy to accompany your trajectory of dedication and success. You are an example!
Dude, I Fly for a major airline and I’m so stinking proud of you!
The 757 & 767 are such great airplanes. So glad that you are able to fly some of the best planes for one of the best airlines in the country!
Swayne this is super inspirational. I shared it with my 17 y/o daughter who is planning to become a pilot. She is dual enrolled in college as a HS junior. She should graduate with an AA and her PPL. This video will help light the fire of emotions she needs to keep her motivated. She hopes to travel someday and this proves aviation will help you do that. Thanks for making this it helps others even when you don't know it. Sincerely, a very appreciative Father. Steve D
That is wonderful. Wishing your daughter all the best on her journey!
We can see the excitement in your 👀! Your dream come true and best if luck. Hope to meet you at EWR!
wow so cool, I just got my first 100hrs period lol, waiting on my PPL check ride (Started 3 years ago) but now I'm at ATP would love to work for United
Congratulation Swayne getting past the consolidation time. Best of luck following your dreams.
Congratulations Swayne! You’re big-time now!! Proud of you / happy for you! Thanks again for taking us along for this amazing journey! Keep Rising!
Welcome to the 57 and 67 gang, Swayne. You‘ll tons of fun flying these two beauties.
I wanted to commend you on the cinematic quality of your video footage, really awesome stuff.
And it looked like your schedule had a Berlin layover in stock for you? Hope you‘ll have a great time in Germany.
So Happy for you! You look like the poster boy for United's pilot program, great video, I have been watching you since your Hawaii video's, Keep going strong!
My dad worked for United for 38 years as a mechanic so I fly United all the time. My first time flying 757-300 was from Honolulu to LAX. Usually fly 777 to and from Hawaii. Never flew on the 767 that I can recall but did a lot of traveling on the 757 200
You have such a great story telling gift! Your cinematography is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Nothing better than living your dream. I've been a career Firefighter/Paramedic for over 7 years and I'm living the career I dreamed of 15 or 16 years ago.
Congratulations for your progress since Hawaii. I follow you since then, this is impressive. I wish you all the best for the continuation of your career.
Congrats on 757/767 after over 11 years on 757-200PCF this is still, by far, my all time favorite airplane to fly. Have fun!
Being a person terribly anxious / uncomfortable with flying, as the "lack of control" I have when I drive a car, it's nice to see how comfortable pilots are flying. Any tips to getting over flight anxiety? Making a video might be good!
I started watching your videos and charted your progression when you were flying in Hawaii. Congratulations on reaching your goals. You serve as an inspiration to others who aspire to become a pilot. I look forward to more of your videos.
I've had a passion and urge to become an airline pilot but, due to lack of funding never pursued it. It's real awesome to watch your videos and practically live thru the experiences with you. Keep doing well, it's clear you were born for it!
Was just talking about you just a few days ago to another subscriber friend of mine on how you haven't posted a video in a while. Glad to see your new video and wanna congratulate you on finishing up your 100 hours. Looking forward to your next video. Hopefully you do another 360 video of your new planes. Stay safe.
Thank you so much for the Vlog Swayne! Absolutely amazing
Congratulatuons on making it to the 757/767. the 757-200 with the RR RB211 engine is one of my all time favourite air frames. here in the UK they are slowly phasing them out of service.
I remember you about 4 to 5 years ago, its awesome your on a 757 now. Congrats bro. Love it
I love the Boeing 767-300! We had them at Air New Zealand until they were retired them in 2017. Such a cool aircraft.
Congrats Swayne, I have been following your videos from day one. It truly amazing what you have accomplished now flying the big jets 757-767 hopefully one day you will get to fly the 787. Thank you to United Airlines for allowing you to post these wonderful aviation videos and I hope they continue to support you in sharing with us aviation fans of yours.
Swayne my friend (may I call you that?). I have been viewing all of your vlogs since the beginning and to see you in that stunning uniform, the new set of wings and flying my ultimate favorite ship, the 757 just tells me you have incredible drive, know what you want and how to get there. Part of my family heritage is from Norway (back to the early 1800s) so thanks for the vids on that country. I never doubted you nor your skills and knowledge from the first PF and PM flying days on the Embraer's and now you are still climbing that personal and professional trail. I am so proud of you and your vids have given me much joy during some of the worse down time recently. Did Sam shoot any of this video? Know you will be in the left seat soon enough and I do hope I can catch a United flight with you in the 'front office' at some point. Be well and continue to fly safe.
Actually it just takes luck. Drive has nothing to do with it
I’m stating flight school around the end of this year. I hope to see you somewhere out there once I make it to the airlines. Thanks for guiding and inspiring me to never give up on my dreams. safe travels ❤️
Congratulations Swayne and nice job! The 757 is my favorite airplane!
cinematography is amazing..! Beautiful
Congrats man! Ive been watching your shows waay before flying a Boeing! You deserve it!
I remember watching your videos back when you were a student at UND and i was a student at ERAU (the first video i ever watched was the food delivery to the dorms. it was chipotle i think?) Fast forwards years later, you're flying 75/76 at United and i'm waiting to start flying a320s (no thank to covid delays). What a few years it has been!
Congratulations Swayne…well deserved! Your smile (and excitement) says it all!
Just listened to you on the Pilot to Pilot podcast. Good luck to you! You’re living the dream!
3:18 -- dreams come true... Your hard work has paid off!! Great inspiration!!!
Congratulations! Thanks for taking us along! Be safe....have fun......carry on
my dream is be a pilot for united my goal be like you broo you inspirate a lot of people to follow their dreams. greetings from Spain
Seeing the amount of training and protocols in place really makes me feel better as a nervous flyer.
I have been a subscriber for years. Your journey has been so valuable to follow. It has been a ton of fun to see. My bucket list includes an announcement that I hear that you are a pilot on a flight that I am a passenger.
Thanks for sharing. Happy subscriber😊!
So glad that you're flying the 767/757 my favorite airplanes
Thanks for the inspiration - I'm instructing now and needed a reminder of what lies ahead if I keep working at it!
