  • Your Path to United Airlines: bit.ly/UALPilotApplication ... In May 2023, I was a "lineholder" for the first time as a United Airlines pilot flying the 757 & 767. In this video, I'll teach you what it means to transition from being a reserve pilot to holding a line, how trip trading impacts your schedule, and what it's like to fly 43,500 miles in one month. On an average month, I have 16-18 days off. So, to be clear, this month was a major exception as I brought myself down to 12 days off and flew 6 international 3-day trips.
    To all of the future pilots watching... I'm so glad to be back with you after a year-long break from filming. My decision to pause TH-cam coincided with a few major events: ALPA (our pilot union) passed an important new pilot contract, and I moved to San Francisco, where I'm flying domestically on 757 across the country and to Hawaii. I hope you enjoy this video, filmed in May 2023, and can't wait to hear how else I can support your journey to the flight deck!

      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. 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.

    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.

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 😊
