So excited to hear you are coming back. Since you've been gone, I've started my aviation journey. I am endlessly thankful for your motivational videos and look forward to your return.
Wooh! I fly exclusively united for work, and every time I’m on a 757 or 767 I’m always looking for you in the cockpit. I fly DEN IAD a lot. You ever on that route?
Swayne was First Officer on one of my recent flights from HNL to SFO. Had the chance to tell him in the cockpit that I've been tracking his career on YT for years. Many thanks to his Captain for dropping in to say hi!
This was my goal and dream growing up. However, times were different then. Much more competitive back in the 80s. No pilot shortage and the industry was smaller than today and was peppered with ex military pilots. I am fortunate to have been able to own a Cessna 172 and a Piper Comanche with a couple of great partners. At 63, now I only live vicariously through videos like this. Good job Swayne.
With a bit over 1000 deliveries it got its fair share of market. Still is widely used by Delta in America and by United for transatlantic routes. Can be modifies for cargo, serving for FedEx and UPS until there are literally no more spare parts being manufactures. Plane spotters love. Given that the aircraft is a bit niche, I wouldn’t say it is underrated. A321ceo has more sells, but it is noticeably cheaper to operate.
I flew through Shannon Ireland a few times going back and forth to the middle east with the Army, the last time we ended up having to overnight in Shannon. Such a gorgeous area and the inn we stayed in had a pub attached from the 1700's
Wanted to become a pilot at a young age, then in 2022 i came across you on TH-cam and was motivated even more when i started watching your videos. I made sure to always work hard on my grades so i can become a pilot but then 1 year ago when you stopped posting videos my motivation kept getting lower, got lost and didn't know what to do anymore, but when i saw this video it brought back my spirit and motivation so im grateful and excited that your back and will be posting more videos 😊
We are all Proud of you! 30 years ago you’d have to sit sidewall on a 72 for 5 years and progress to F/O, and maybe Cpt. by 20 years. You nailed the training and hiring at the right time. We all enjoy the videos. Especially for those of us out of the industry for years now.
I”ve flown to all those places on your schedule. I have a particular love for the folks at Shannon. They were the best people to turn aircraft. Rain, snow, ice they took care of you and the runway was always good. Their hospitality was unmatched.
i want to say thank you. ive been watching these videos since i was 14. they have always inspired me and now i can say that im achieving my dream of becoming an airline pilot.
Thanks for coming back to TH-cam. You have inspired me alot and im currently planning to fulfill my childhood dream of being a pilot. By God's grace, i should be coming over to the USA to start pilot training before this year runs out. I'm in talks with some flight schools already. I hope one day we can both share the same cockpit as flying for united is my ultimate goal. With much love from Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬
Im about to start flight training but I keep losing motivation to do it because how complicated it is, being honest watching your videos gives me something to look up to and brings that motivation back, Thank You 🤙🏼
Again thank you for sharing your cool career. Yes, I now and remember how it feels in holding your travel work schedules!😊 Yes, years ago, at first, as a Flight Attendant, I use to bid Hawaii first, London second on the international trips. Then on domestic trips, I use to bid Los Angeles first San Francisco second and San Diego third. Then when I took and passed the Purser Leadership Program back then, I became a junior purser flight attendent and started to hold my work schedules on an A/B rotation. Holding a work schedule or "line" one month and the next month not holding a line. I think for me by the end of the 3rd year going into the 4th year, I could finally hold more flight schedules that I would bid for. So, holdibg west coast from here in Chicago is what I hold and liked. Overall, I agree with you similar to pilots, it feels good holding your own work schedule and it helps as you become more senior with each year of seniority.😊
Welcome back! Your videos are helping recruit the next generation of skilled pilots while showing the rewards of all the hard work you have put in. Please continue to share your adventures when you have time.
Dang never met you but have been following for so many years seeing you go all the way to the big boys (757,767) almost feel emotional. Congrats sir you have done well!
As a former airline pilot who became very fortunate with a side business that made me a millionaire many times over, I have enjoyed your videos over the years immensely. I told your CEO last Wednesday (friend) how impressed I am with you. Rich
Last time I watched one of your videos I was in the military looking from the outside in trying to figure out my options. Now I'm a half winger. Thanks for your informative videos!
I trained on the 757/67 in 2021 at the United Airlines Training centre in Denver. A most satisfying experience worth the hard work! Am just sad I haven't yet flown the real jet. Nice to indulge in your wonderful stories Wayne. Keep it up!
It is really good to have you back. Glad you took some time for yourself which we all need to do at some point. Your videos are very motivational and encouraging, especially for me who always wanted to be an airline pilot but chose law enforcement to get the money for flight school first. Now being a pilot is going to be my career 2.0. All of your videos has helped to keep the passion alive. So please continue making videos when you can. Best of wishes as you continue to excel in your aviation career.
I'm happy to see your back I'm from the San Francisco area I live in Arizona now but my brother lives in San Francisco he's a first responder paramedic be safe and safe flying ✈️✈️
I follow quite a few of Airline Pilot youtubers and I've heard of them mentioning about seniority and benefits of it. However, no one wen in depth like you did. Thank you for this. It was a very informative video.
I'm so happy to see you back, but I'm also really happy for your own developments in your home life. Good luck, and keep the content coming when you can. Blue skies and tailwinds,
So happy to see you back. I just recently flew again from Hartford, Ct to Dallas Fort Worth. I am not a fan of flying, but watching your videos gives me comfort. Seeing what goes in to flying and the care the Staff takes, really gave me piece. Thank you for sharing, and Welcome Back. You should do a Colab with Sam comparing side by side a Commercial Plane and one Decked out for the Military.
Dude, you have made my day. I was beyond excited to see this video! You have been missed. Congratulations on the changes over the past year! I hope you guys are loving San Francisco. I am already looking forward to your next post. 😃
I’m really excited for your career. I’ve been subscribed to your TH-cam channel for a long time and you’re always really thoughtful. Good luck and hope to fly with you one day!
Your back. Guessing you must had to concentrate on the aircraft types, training and flying hours for the rating. So glad to see you back I did wonder what had happened.
Real proud of you, Swayne, You are truly getting the most out of life. Fo;;owing you since Hawaii has been a lot of fun and very educational for this old airline wrench. Keep up the great work and keep flying until they make you stop!
Congratulations!!! I have been following your journey and it fills me with joy to see you advance. Since your last video, I have become a SFO based United 1K after years of flying with the airline with the papercutter logo. Hoping our paths cross one day and I will get your fly on a plane with you behind the yoke.
Congratulations on holding your line. I'm sure you're enjoying driving the Ferrari of the skies, 757. Those RB211's will get you out of any trouble. Former UAL ramp, DEN 90's. Cheers!
Excited to be back with all of you making videos after a little over a year! So, what should I film next?
Why did you stop making videos for so long? You’re my favorite aviation TH-camr and inspired me to try to become a pilot.
@@Toby-e1eI touch on that in the video + a little note is in the video description :)
So excited to hear you are coming back. Since you've been gone, I've started my aviation journey. I am endlessly thankful for your motivational videos and look forward to your return.
@@SwayneMartinPilot thanks
Wooh! I fly exclusively united for work, and every time I’m on a 757 or 767 I’m always looking for you in the cockpit.
I fly DEN IAD a lot. You ever on that route?
My favorite TH-camr is back!
You two need a vlog ❤
You both my favorite ❤️
Amen! Miss you two together in videos.
4th!
My two favorite TH-camrs
Swayne was First Officer on one of my recent flights from HNL to SFO. Had the chance to tell him in the cockpit that I've been tracking his career on YT for years. Many thanks to his Captain for dropping in to say hi!
When I saw this on my for you page, it brought me to tears that you came back. We missed you so much.
Frr😢
Brought you to tears? Lol. WTF
This was my goal and dream growing up. However, times were different then. Much more competitive back in the 80s.

I am fortunate to have been able to own a Cessna 172 and a Piper Comanche with a couple of great partners. At 63, now I only live vicariously through videos like this. Good job Swayne.
You could always fly part 91, 124, or 135 jet operations!
@@VictoryAviationwhat's pt 124 ? never heard that
75’s…the most underrated plane in the sky.
Gonna be a sad day when they're gone.
Passengers don’t like the 757, because it is a tight long tube on rather long trips with tiny windows and noisy cabin.😡😡😡
With a bit over 1000 deliveries it got its fair share of market. Still is widely used by Delta in America and by United for transatlantic routes.

@@interstellaraviator6437welcome to the convo Captain Obvious. We could explain it to you, but no one brought their crayons.
@@MCMXI1, I mean, I really don’t get why people keep calling B757 underrated.
Great to see you back, Swayne! Excited to see what the future holds for you🙂
Just completed my Flight Operation Internship at United! Hoping to return one day and join you all!
The 75 is truly the greatest of all time

That was awesome and appreciated. Parents must be proud! Keep going young man and again thanks for sharing your journey.
That was so beautiful. I’ve been so long for a video from you. As always, great job and happy flying!

Great camera footage Swayne!
You just might be the BEST airline pilot content creator of ALL TIME!
Watched a video the other day of a A380 over 7 days flew 34,000 miles and a 777 that flew 48,000. Amazing how much these planes are in the air.
Congratulations!!! I have been following your journey and it fills me with joy to see you advance.
