My goal with this video is to make sure you guys have a solid understanding of the jet I fly... Before I continue making more career-related videos. You guys have been asking AWESOME questions about the airplane, so here are some answers! What do you want to know about becoming an airline pilot? Comment with suggestions!
As an aviation student in college, I want to know what are your career and planning suggestions as a regional jet pilot. What would you have done or done better if you have the current understanding of the industry back when you were in college. For example: Should I put a lot of emphasis on my GPA? or it doesn't seem to be relevant to the airlines. Should I spend some more money to become an MEI or it is not worth the money?
@@Encryptedpilot I wish you the best obtaining your goal getting to your dream career . If your interestedin going in the service I know the Air Force is short on pilots .
The ERJ will forever hold a place in my heart. My first flight rocketed out of ICT to ORD to make a connection on the mighty AA 777 to LHR. Essentially, the ERJ is the plane that allows me to see the world easIly and conveniently. The plane itself is fast, efficient, safe and performs her duties perfectly. You’re one lucky guy and I hope to be on one one of your flights sometime.
A. Phillip Old comment but are you sure about that? Twenty three to start training for your ATPL. I don’t know if that has something to do with you region but here in Iceland we can start an Integrated ATPL program at 18 with all necessary education. After the program were granted a “frozen ATPL” which any Icelandic airline accepts.
A. Phillip I think you should check other flight school and possibly ones in neighboring countries. Even though it may be daunting and expensive at first it will probably make up for itself with the 5 year head start in training.
This man is not only living my dream but also helping me reach it, thank you so much for these videos swayne i dont know what i would do for information of regional jets with out you, im only 14 so im still yet to get my ppl more you make these videos the more I feel like I can do anything to get to where you are. July 2022 update: Im 17 now and I’m working on getting hours for my PPL. College apps are in Oct and im hoping to get into UND, ERAU or Purdue for Aviation 🙂 November 23 2022: Got my first college Acceptance letter into the Kent State University Aviation program! Havent heard back from anyone else yet. December 21st, 2022: Got Accepted by ERAU, wait listed by UND and Accepted into Utah State. Waiting to hear back from Purdue to make my final decision.
Its a very impressive jet. I traveled with it ERJ145LR from Dominican Rep to Aruba in 55 min. And the most amazing thing was the jet engines are really quiet. Good video 💪✈
@@SwayneMartinPilot I'm a new PPL student. It's just for fun, not a career. It seems overwhelming, but I made a lot of progress from my first lesson to my second.
This is an awesome airplane. I have flown it so many times and it performs so well even in bad weather. Flights are smooth but a little more fun because its smaller and more nimble. You really can tell when pilots love their aircraft.
Swayne, new subscriber, old pilot. We need more young people like yourself proving to us older folks that our love of FLYING will last through the ages!! Keep up the good work kid!
I'm lucky to be able to catch a 145 regularly between Inverness and Birmingham here in the UK with Loganair which operate I think around 15 of these. It's a great plane, almost like a private jet!
I'm an aspiring airline pilot, and your videos are really helping me stay motivated and exited for my career in aviation. I'll be going to Endeavor air and flying the CRJ 200/900. See you in the skies, safe flights and soft landings.
My Sunday just got a lot better! Your videos are so motivational for student pilots such as myself and provide great tips and info, Greetings from the UK!
I worked those planes from 1999-2013. Saw a lot of changes, a lot of progress, and made my work into my life. I have literal blood, sweat, and tears on every tail number in that fleet. I live on the approach end of my city's airport and watch my old metal friends come in to land every day and night, missing them like the girl that got away. Take care, and fly safe...
Envoy/ American must be proud of how you represent the Brand and the job position. I certainly would be. Great vid bud. Clear, concise and easy to understand. Its wonderful to see an employee love their job ! I just boarded a 41 year Captain on a 777 to ORD- OGG today. It was her last leg and last flight as a UA Capt. Remarkable career. May you have such an incredible journey as she did and help connect people to what's so important in their lives. Again... well done !
I flew in one of these from Indy to Milwaukee...it was a smooth, wonderful ride. It was the first time I'd ever been in any kind of regional airliner. Good memories.
Swayne I think this is the video I have enjoyed the most from your UA-cam channel I appreciate the time and effort you put into it to show us your side! Thank you brother from New Zealand ✊🏻
Can you make full flight video, about (30 minutes long) videoing startup, taxi, snippet , snippet of cruise, descent and the full approach, landing, taxi and shutdown at the gate?
Thanks for the video, this has to be one of the best looking jets. Love it when alone on the A side and .78 mach is just fine, stay within limits and let that narrow fuselage slip it's way to your destination as efficiently as a small regional airliner can.
Remember to monitor and utilize CTAF per company procedures and not just before turning final like many crews seem to do. Nothing beats a CRJ on short final as I’m also turning final...
I just finished my first month of line flying in the ERJ175. The auto-throttles and vnav capabilities do spoil you, but you still have to know what you’re doing, because the autopilot doesn’t always give you the desired result. Sometimes it forgets or decides it would rather go do something else. No trailing link gear but it is an easy landing airplane. I’m based in LGA. I’ve been to your base ORD already. I’ll keep an eye out for ya.
Congrats to you . What aviation college did you go to ? I use to live in Mahopac , New York & I flew out of LGA often . May I ask are you flying for Envoy Airlines like Swayne Martin ? May I ask how young you are & how young were you when started taking flying lessons & what age you got your PPL at ?
Bob Shaw - I don’t have a degree. So, the regionals will be as far as I can go. I cannot say where I work as I don’t have an agreement as Swayne does to represent the company. I got my PPL, Instrument, Commercial, Multi and CFI and CFII in 2004 when I was 32. I worked for a few years and left due to low pay. I just recently came back last fall at age 46. I am not a typical case. My last stop will be the regional where I work since I am not qualified to go to a major airline.
CloudStreets I wouldn’t rule out a major because you don’t have a degree. I’m guessing you fly the 175 for a different company that doesn’t have a flow through? You still have a good bit of time left in your career and LCCs are starting to get desperate for pilots with the looming shortage. One of my buddies went to Spirit straight from the right seat of a regional. Doesn’t hurt to try.
You are an excellent spokesman for your company and your posts most likely bring new customers and promote working for your company. Hope you see the left seat soon and probably move into management. The command pilots are thanking you for being there first. Your dedication to the craft is very apparent. I would feel very safe sitting in the back with your crew. Fly Safe!
One of the most intelligently produced and presented aviation videos on all of UA-cam. Swayne is very gifted in the art of terse and salient information presentation. You are obviously very aware of what is interesting and what needs to be ditched. Very happy for you that you are enjoying your career. The ERJ is growing on me and no doubt others as a fine aircraft and perfect for its task. Thanks and fly safe.
Great video! Had the chance to fly on one years ago, Colorado Springs to Houston aboard Continental Express. Really powerful and strong little jet, it kinda feels like you're in a rocket sitting in that narrow tube :). Also love taking it out in the flight sim every once in a while, a very nice airplane to fly given it's lesser use of automation compared to other airliners.
fantastic presentation, from a retired delta captain, be proud of yourself young man, i can sense your LOVE for flying in your speech, your 4th stripe will come at ease, safe flying 🙏
Swayne, I flew for the first time on my honeymoon last year. I flew in a ERJ-145 from Little Rock, Arkansas to Houston, Texas. I absolutely loved every second of my flight. I really enjoy watching your videos because it brings back memories. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I look forward to watching more!
My usual route where I fly in jets this size switches back and forth between ERJ-140/145's and CRJ-2/200's. I greatly prefer the ERJ-145. I like the 1-seat side and the big windows placed so that you can see out of them. The CRJ-2, etc. have the windows situated so that someone who sits tall (long torso) cannot see out of the window (down only, and that is awkward). ERJ-145 is much more comfortable (especially for viewing).
Yayyy your back I missed you posting ur videos I’m currently studying about planes but even tho I’m only 14 I would like to be a pilot one day so I watch ur videos to help I honestly love what your doing and I think your doing a great job keep us updated 😁😁
Your videos are amazingly well-planned and executed. They're positively airtight! I can only imagine the preparation for just one! You're not only a professional pilot, but also a talented videographer and presenter. I learn so much about commercial aviation from your top-notch work. Thank you, and may you have continued success!
Depends on how good a pilot is good in his or her piloting skills in times of emergency they have a lot of pressure...in this case they need to do their best possible process so that thay reduce the rate of crash
Very nice video I'll never be a pilot but I just think airplanes are so interesting I like flying on the smaller jets just don't feel so crowded like it feels on the big ones with so many passengers
When Eagle began LGA-XNA it was with the 37 pax E-135 with an occasional 140. At 3:30-3:45 dad said there was often a fuel stop at BNA if the headwind was strong enough.
I'm a mechanic with a United regional carrier. I work primarily on the XRs. The winglets, strakes, and ventral tank make it a very different plane. Fun little jet. Its small size makes it easy to work on. Also, little secret for you pilots, if the APU is on MEL, it most likely still works. Before you call for the huffer, try starting it up. If you can get it started, use it for one engine start, then shut it back off. Saves a little time. Us mechanics do it for taxiing all the time. Don't worry about hurting the APU. The FADEC is smart enough to cancel starts that could damage the APU. Once tried to start one with the starter/gen wired backward. The system didn't even let it turn. ERJs are pretty fool-proof. Amazing planes.
I've never flown any ERJ planes so far, but this video gives me much information about it. Well presented. Love your great video. Thank you very much, Swayne.
@@KutWrite Thanks for asking, After USAF flight training, I flew a career in AF. A-1 Skyraider Vietnam, 2 T-38 Talon Instructor Pilot, 3. C-130 Hercules 4. C-23 Sherpa and ended career as E-3a Sentry Instructor pilot. After retiring from AF, owned a charter service flying Air Ambulance. Twin engine turbo props.
This video was excellent, a very professional and well put together commentary by a very young first officer, much more competent than some I have seen. Well done!
Amazing video! So much information that I found so interesting! I really want to be a pilot when I’m older and I’m now coming to choose the GCSE’s that I should take.. but great video I liked!
Started flight school inspired by your videos years ago, now I start training on an E-series jet next month. Full circle that I'm back watching your video on it. Thanks!
I've been in Human Resources over 30 years. You, my friend, are going to have a tremendously successful aviation career. And always remember one thing, if you don't ask, you don't get. You are articulate, confident and just what any carrier would seek. The world is your oyster! Russ
I saw a 145 on final for runway 36 into KLSE a few days ago as I was walking to my car in downtown La Crosse. It reminded me of your channel. Keep up the good work!
People often ask me if i want to fly transatlantic flights someday, and are surprised when I say no! I would much rather fly shorter regional routes like such if the ERJ-145. And Swayne, a question: what are some differences between the 145/140, and the 135?
@nightstalker I am not saying I wouldn't like to fly internationally, I just find that smaller regional airports have a certain sense of adventure to them. And that adventure in discovering "hidden gems" so to speak is what a would like to do.
@@j_eldridge Mabey consider flying corporate, you get to fly into new airports all the time and you can fly anywhere between a 30 min jump to a 7 hour transatlantic crossing.
The biggest difference is just the length....Now the E145XR is a different animal. Envoy doesn’t not fly them. Gear, thrust rating on the engine and fuel systems are all different
YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB EXPLAINING AS A PILOT FLYING THIS TYPE AIRCRAFT(S) . I REALLY LIKE THE ERGONOMICS OF IT. SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF FUN DOING YOUR JOB. ENJOY AND THANK YOU!
He is kind of a nerd and one must be rather above average in intelligence (B student in school or better), especially in math, science and physics if you expect to succeed beyond a private license. The Instrument rating is extremely tough and eye opening.
Thank you. I've passenger-ed in the 140 from Indi to NY LaG and the 170 from LCY-London City to Amsterdam & love both Embraers. I'm Aussie, & soloed in '57.
I absolutely love how you really research all of the nuances of the aircrafts you are flying. To me it shows that you really want to know your job and not just do it. You look very young to me, which I'm sure you get told all the time, but I'd trust you to fly me.
I have enjoyed your videos. I have been following them as my son just went through the same training with the same airline as you. Same airline, Same aircraft and Same Domicile. He fly’s his first set of passengers tomorrow. We’re very excited and happy for him. Thanks for the vids😊

This is one of the few reasons that make me proud to be Brazilian.
Yeah? Well any new info on Embraer's issues with Boeing? Do you think Embraer will do a deal with the Chinese if they really need the money they have been searching for? That to me is a good alternative if they are still looking for investors.
Go for it. No regrets. Hit the accelerator. Everyday is an opportunity. We don't get a do over. Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Go for it. I did.
@@Jmod82 Thank you. I have 560 hrs. Now I have to get another 940 for that magic 1500. As soon as I get an IPC and multi, I'll probably bite the bullet and take a huge pay cut to find a time building opportunity.
gerdelt well do your research part 91 is very good option for really good pay and QOL can be better as well!! But if regional is your passion go for it me personally I’d rather do corporate
Thanks for all these informational videos Swayne! I'm about to take another step closer to this dream, which is going to college for aviation. These videos are so awesome for someone who's looking into this industry. Can't wait to live this life.
Thanks for your enthusiastic & educational videos. I’m not an aviator, but have followed your career for a couple years. Continue on your flight path. You will go far.
that was a fantastic overview of the 145 swayne.....thats for explaning the yellow pods on the leading edge......btw on takeoff I will hear a HUM the will increase in pitch....is that the wheels ??? thanks swayne.....keep flying and enjoy the view :)

You guys have been asking AWESOME questions about the airplane, so here are some answers! What do you want to know about becoming an airline pilot? Comment with suggestions!
Swayne Martin how long will a pilot like you stay flying the smaller regional jets before they move up to something bigger?

I've always had a soft spot for these beautiful aircraft. Embraer did really well with this model. Love it.

As a 51 year old prison nurse who wanted to fly back in the day, all I can say is your parents must be proud! Keep it up!!
I think it’s great that your airline actively supports your channel. Most UA-cam pilots aren’t even allowed to say which company they work for.
I'm very fortunate! I really hope this sheds some light for aspiring pilots out there
@@SwayneMartinPilot I'm a new PPL student. It's just for fun, not a career. It seems overwhelming, but I made a lot of progress from my first lesson to my second.

This!!!
I would like to see Swayne do that soon .

I'm a mechanic with a United regional carrier. I work primarily on the XRs. The winglets, strakes, and ventral tank make it a very different plane. Fun little jet. Its small size makes it easy to work on.
Also, little secret for you pilots, if the APU is on MEL, it most likely still works. Before you call for the huffer, try starting it up. If you can get it started, use it for one engine start, then shut it back off. Saves a little time. Us mechanics do it for taxiing all the time. Don't worry about hurting the APU. The FADEC is smart enough to cancel starts that could damage the APU. Once tried to start one with the starter/gen wired backward. The system didn't even let it turn. ERJs are pretty fool-proof. Amazing planes.
Wow! Never knew that about the landing gear! Great video can’t wait for more!
It's been fun watching you progress. You've come a long way!
Your cinematic shots are always amazing. Love following your journey and hope to join you soon! :)
I've never flown any ERJ planes so far, but this video gives me much information about it. Well presented. Love your great video. Thank you very much, Swayne.
Wow your channel is upgrading and so you are, i can still remember when u are flying in hawaii ..
Very well done! I have been interested in aviation for over 70 years and never tire of hearing about it...thank a bunch.
Thanks really enjoyed the video, retired pilot with 18k hours
What aircraft did you fly professionally over that career?
@@KutWrite Thanks for asking, After USAF flight training, I flew a career in AF. A-1 Skyraider Vietnam, 2 T-38 Talon Instructor Pilot, 3. C-130 Hercules 4. C-23 Sherpa and
ended career as E-3a Sentry Instructor pilot.
After retiring from AF, owned a charter service flying Air Ambulance. Twin engine
turbo props.
@@lostcreek163: Wow! Impressive!
@@KutWrite Thanks for kind comment. Was my honor to serve the USA!
Lostcreek 1 thank you for your service sir🇺🇸
another great video Swayne! You're making an outstanding impression to the Envoy management--their marketing folks must love you! Stay safe brother.
Great video. How do you like the plane? My checkride for the 145 is Sunday. Will be flying a Legacy 650 Part 91.
This video was excellent, a very professional and well put together commentary by a very young first officer, much more competent than some I have seen. Well done!
Amazing video! So much information that I found so interesting! I really want to be a pilot when I’m older and I’m now coming to choose the GCSE’s that I should take.. but great video I liked!
Started flight school inspired by your videos years ago, now I start training on an E-series jet next month. Full circle that I'm back watching your video on it. Thanks!
Great video, great footage, very well explained!
I've been in Human Resources over 30 years. You, my friend, are going to have a tremendously successful aviation career. And always remember one thing, if you don't ask, you don't get. You are articulate, confident and just what any carrier would seek. The world is your oyster! Russ
Swayne is a cool guy
I saw a 145 on final for runway 36 into KLSE a few days ago as I was walking to my car in downtown La Crosse. It reminded me of your channel. Keep up the good work!
People often ask me if i want to fly transatlantic flights someday, and are surprised when I say no! I would much rather fly shorter regional routes like such if the ERJ-145. And Swayne, a question: what are some differences between the 145/140, and the 135?
@nightstalker I am not saying I wouldn't like to fly internationally, I just find that smaller regional airports have a certain sense of adventure to them. And that adventure in discovering "hidden gems" so to speak is what a would like to do.
@@j_eldridge Mabey consider flying corporate, you get to fly into new airports all the time and you can fly anywhere between a 30 min jump to a 7 hour transatlantic crossing.
@@michaelmulkern9114 That is a very good idea!
Try domestic flights with majors. The flight aren’t usually more than 6 hours and you can fly 737s
The biggest difference is just the length....Now the E145XR is a different animal. Envoy doesn’t not fly them. Gear, thrust rating on the engine and fuel systems are all different
Every video you make inspires me!
1:05 Columbus, Cleveland, same thing, really.
YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB EXPLAINING AS A PILOT FLYING THIS TYPE AIRCRAFT(S) . I REALLY LIKE THE ERGONOMICS OF IT. SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF FUN DOING YOUR JOB. ENJOY AND THANK YOU!
Does Swayne make anyone else feel like they don’t study enough??
He is kind of a nerd and one must be rather above average in intelligence (B student in school or better), especially in math, science and physics if you expect to succeed beyond a private license. The Instrument rating is extremely tough and eye opening.
Just study every 6 months for sim
I'd rather have a guy like this who is knowledgable of what he's doing then some dude that doesn't have a clue lol
ExpressJet alum here....enjoyed the video. really takes me back to the good ol' days
4:24 Hmmmm That butter though (Landing) Swiss001 and airforceproud95 would be proud of the pilot.
Been watching since the caravan days in Hawaii. Absolutely love your videos.
Another "Excellent" video ....Makes me wonder how many people you are making "Dream About Becoming A Pilot"
So glad that Envoy supports these. Keep it up!
damn bro you're insane! about to do my Recreational permit flight test in a few months, 15 years old!
Jonah Sohmer get it done
Thank you. I've passenger-ed in the 140 from Indi to NY LaG and the 170 from LCY-London City to Amsterdam & love both Embraers. I'm Aussie, & soloed in '57.
You're totally a pro', cool always be blessed and takecare,,,. Sir,,,.❤
I absolutely love how you really research all of the nuances of the aircrafts you are flying. To me it shows that you really want to know your job and not just do it. You look very young to me, which I'm sure you get told all the time, but I'd trust you to fly me.
Have you ever met a fan onboard the plane
I have enjoyed your videos. I have been following them as my son just went through the same training with the same airline as you. Same airline, Same aircraft and Same Domicile. He fly’s his first set of passengers tomorrow.
We’re very excited and happy for him. Thanks for the vids😊
This is one of the few reasons that make me proud to be Brazilian.
Yeah? Well any new info on Embraer's issues with Boeing? Do you think Embraer will do a deal with the Chinese if they really need the money they have been searching for? That to me is a good alternative if they are still looking for investors.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. You did an amazing job!!!
Todd Thomas his others are just as good. His first day as an airline pilot helped me decide what i wanted to do with my life.
So main landing gear is probably in the same functionality as a f18 landing gear
Yes, similar design.
I flew on one of these with Envoy just yesterday. Dallas to Texarkana. 30 minutes WU to WD. I was impressed with how gentle the landing was.
Another great video. Everyone is so young. Do you ever see people in their 50s like myself in your training classes?
Go for it. No regrets. Hit the accelerator. Everyday is an opportunity. We don't get a do over. Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Go for it. I did.
@@bobbypatterson7481 - PERFECT!
gerdelt you have to 65 to part 121 I’m 37 and in the process of doing the same!!! Just gotta be willing to put the work in
@@Jmod82 Thank you. I have 560 hrs. Now I have to get another 940 for that magic 1500. As soon as I get an IPC and multi, I'll probably bite the bullet and take a huge pay cut to find a time building opportunity.
gerdelt well do your research part 91 is very good option for really good pay and QOL can be better as well!! But if regional is your passion go for it me personally I’d rather do corporate
Thanks for all these informational videos Swayne! I'm about to take another step closer to this dream, which is going to college for aviation. These videos are so awesome for someone who's looking into this industry. Can't wait to live this life.
The shape of the aircraft is kinda like the md-80
Thanks for your enthusiastic & educational videos. I’m not an aviator, but have followed your career for a couple years. Continue on your flight path. You will go far.
When you worked for that airline in Hawaii what License did you have? Also what do you need to fly RJs?
Why would Spirit Airlines ask this kind of question? It is public knowledge on www.airlinepilotcentral.com
hsuflyguy because he isn’t the real spirit
rgr that thanks @@joshcooper2307
that was a fantastic overview of the 145 swayne.....thats for explaning the yellow pods on the leading edge......btw on takeoff I will hear a HUM the will increase in pitch....is that the wheels ??? thanks swayne.....keep flying and enjoy the view :)
