    Woooow. I stumbled across your video and was saying..... he looks like the Grey Hound guy. I started reading through some of your comments and realized...... this IS the Grey Hound guy!!! Ive been trucking for 23 years now and decided to switch to the charter bus side at the beginning of the pandemic. Needless to say, I stayed in trucking a few years longer, which is when I came across your videos. I've been in the bus business for 2 years now and mostly enjoying. I'm also in the process of earning my PPL lol. I really don't think I'm going to join the airlines but hey..... who knows 🤷🏾‍♂️. I'm proud of you Doc, you always follow your dreams!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!

    Man, I’ve seen you go from Greyhound to this. So proud of you. I did something similar, I drove for USA Truck for a year. I quit and went back to flight school finishing my ratings and later going to a regional. Now I’m at a major airline. I hope to see you at the big U soon dawg!

    Congratulations again, Phillip for moving right up the ladder. Schedule is a little rough but overall I'd much prefer it to rotating shift work like
    I did for a long long time. Cool you're up in a 757/767 now. Log those hours and have a great time. You deserve every bit of it.

      Not sure you understand the disparities at some companies. A 2 years captain at a legacy makes more than a 6 year captain here. 1st year FOs are still making $62k. The contracts are long over due.
