Last Flight as a First Officer!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- After 10+ years at this airline as a First Officer I have officially upgraded! This has been such a ride. I'm so thankful to my family, friends, and co-workers for all the support over the years. I can't wait to be moving seats as a First Officer to the Captain seat. Stay tuned for more!
Hope you all enjoy it. Cheers!

Absolutely fantastic camaraderie shown in this video, sooooo happy for both of you and praise on that 4th bar !!! You know you've got a best bud when you can share wisecracks with each other. "6.5 landing out of 7" !!! Gotta love it. CAVU always.
Just found your channel and I really enjoy it. Would be interesting to see a video on your upgrade training. I don't know if sim is done in Phoenix, but would love to see your approach to each day's training footprint and some debrief on how you're adjusting to the change in seats. Good luck!
Thanks Ernie for taking us on your last trip as an FO. Definitely looking forward to seeing you vlog from the other side of the cockpit. Congrats Captain!
Good luck Captain 😁👍👍
Congratulations!!

Congrats Ern! Happy for you. Been following your very positive channel al the way from Belgium. From a 737/787 check airmen that did part of his initial flight training in Deer Valley. (Westwind)
Congrats man! Gonna be a while before I’m in the left seat because I don’t think I’ll upgrade at my regional before leaving. Love the vlog and the positive energy!
Just want to say how much I enjoy your vids. Congrats on the promotion. I’m a new viewer and have seen many at this point. I am starting over at 42 and working on going to ATP in the fall. Not sure which way I’m going yet as I’m remarried and would like to stay that way. But your videos are inspiring and helping me stay focused on push through and keeping in mind how much I love aviation. Keep it up. Thanks for your vids and your service!
Congrats to becoming a CPT with SWA. GODSPEED
Well done Captain! I’m currently flying the E120 grinding away the hours to hopefully be in your position one day! I love how humble you are, you are a great role model for current and future pilots.
Congratulation Captain!!
