      Innsbruck, Austria is a stunning airport to approach!! If you stay in the right accommodation in the valley you can get a great view of the tricky landings.

      the video is an ad for American Airlines--not that there is anything wrong with that. but they definitely help edit the videos. TH-cam even includes a disclaimer "Paid promotion included" in the beginning of the vids. Still really interesting content though, I love the channel!

      step Good point, Envoy Air’s name does get mentioned a lot in these videos. I’m sure a lot of companies wouldn’t be crazy about their employees making videos while doing their job. Unless those videos somehow promote the company

    @Bill_N_ATX 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a business traveler who’s flown about 3 million miles, we have the same habits. When I get to a city with a new coworker, one of the first questions you ask each other is if they have favorite places to eat in that city or area of town. Often it’s the same old great places but every once in a while you learn of something new and it’s a great discovery. Once it was a great Chinese place in Paris...if it hadn’t been for my coworker I’d never have had one of the best meals of my life. As a payback, I took a colleague to a hole in the wall BBQ joint in Texas. It was life changing he said. Travel is one of the best parts of life....and food makes it even better. I am so over COVID and not traveling.

    I’ve been a fan of your channel for a while. It was so neat seeing you show up to the gate in Memphis. This was several months ago, but I still think about it. My partner and I were going to visit family in Milwaukee. We had a layover at O’Hare. You were one of the pilots that flew us the leg from Memphis to Chicago. I thought you looked familiar when I saw you, but when the captain said your first name over the PA that confirmed it. Being a fan, I never thought you’d be flying me; so that was super cool. Wish we had more time where I could have just said hello. If our paths meet again, I’ll say hi.

      @avia3455 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      He usually only covers experiences you'll encounter as an airline pilot, and I don't think he's done much of the technical side. All I know is that it's a lot of calculus and math you need to know to be an airline pilot, or a pilot in general. It takes a fast brain and a lot of skill and you have to have it mastered before you get your ATPL license.
      Hope this helps.

      I have no personal experience. None.
      With that out of the way, the first I heard about UND's program was in the comments section of this VASAviation video th-cam.com/video/pTpcctMNMYg/w-d-xo.html . It's a comment section on the internet, so who knows who is giving opinions and why, but it sounded like they may rush students through. I think I'd want to talk to some pilots, at length, and try to get opinions from folks who went through a program, folks who work with people who went through a program, etc.
      I've always heard pilots like talking about flying and calling your local airport FBO might be a good start.
      It's a lot of money and a huge commitment, it's worth researching.

      Before the pandemic, airlines were coming to the flight schools to recruit, it was hard not to find someone to work for after 1500hrs TT. UND should hire you as an instructor when you’re done with training. If not, there are hundreds of flight schools who will hire you. If you don’t want to instruct, if you look hard enough you can find pipeline, survey, ferry and maybe even right seat in someones business jet/turboprop if you know someone. After 500hrs TT even more doors open. At 1500hrs TT right now cargo is hiring with low minimums in jets like 767/777 like Southern and ATI. A lot of charter/private are hiring right too.

    Nice videos as always Captain ! Just for curiosity, you mentioned in the beginning of the video that cockpit scenes are filmed under part 91, but, part 91 doesn’t refer only to general aviation ? Shouldn’t it be under part 121 ? Just for curiosity, because here in Brazil 91 is just for General Aviation. Have nice and safe flights Swayne, I appreciate your job here from Brazil !

      I think it’s because those flights have no passengers in the back, and they’re doing a repo flight...

    Yay, I'm glad you were able to enjoy some time in Michigan (my home state)! We've got SO MUCH more than Traverse City; maybe after this whole pandemic blows over you would be able to take a proper vacation here (anywhere in the UP is brilliant.) My hat's off to you, your fellow pilots, and flight attendants; God speed to all of you, I can only imagine what this year has been like.

    Hello, from an Amtrak locomotive engineer! Always enjoy your videos; it's interesting to see all the similarities between our jobs. Now, if only I could convince management and the FRA to allow me film the job and create a sister channel about life on the rails haha. Glad to see you're safe from furloughs and here's to a better 2021 for the transportation industry.

    Wow what a chill job you have. There's a holiday destination air route in my country, that I just went during new year holidays, and its got exactly the same flying time---Bangkok (BKK) - Chiang Mai (CNX)--- and airlines fly their planes like shuttle bus for the whole day between the 2 cities. There's zero luxury like this for the air crews like in your video here.
