- Cockpit scenes filmed with approval, in partnership with Envoy Air Inc., under Part 91… The ability to ride in a flight deck jumpseat is a highly coveted privilege for airline pilots around the country. Here's how jumpseating works and what you should know before you start flying for the airlines.

What else do you guys want to learn about becoming an airline pilot? Leave a comment below!
How do you prepare for pilot assessment
How to become a airline pilot
How much will be the cost to become a airline pilot
Which school do you prefer
How difficult is controlling plane and landing
I think a cool thing you could do is interview other pilots as like a podcast or something, about there paths to mainline/regional and general things that are haping in the industry like strikes new regs ext
My flight to go on a trip: *overbooked*
Me: I mean: I can take the jumpseat
As an airline employee who flies on travel passes, trust me. That gets asked a lot haha
Unless it's a 13 hour flight and all 4 cockpit seats are occupied by the operating crew haha (augmented crews)
I start flying tomorrow! Wish me luck!
Jonah Wilhelm what airline
Hope you did well
That’s awesome I am 12 and I dream of being a pilot
God should help you
Update?
What I really like about your channel is that it gives me an insight on how a career path in commercial aviation can look like across the pond.
Tim Thanks Tim
@@SwayneMartinPilot You´re welcome.
I was literally jumpseating for the first time when you posted this video.
Lol
How was it? How many have you done since posting this?
@@VictoryAviation I moved to live in base so I haven’t had to ride the jump seat in quite a while. It was pretty fun while! Got to see a lot of cool airplanes and meet a lot of great pilots.
@@slippymitc awesome! I think it would be good stuff for a while. Eventually I think just about anyone would want to live close to your home base.
Hi Swayne...you are a real tribute to professional aviation. Pre-911 I was a NASA meteorologist who enjoyed the privilege of occupying the jump seat on my commercial, private and biz flights...all it took was an FAA card and as you say, the Captain's permission. For work, I spent years flying as a scientist on the NASA DC-8 in and around hurricanes (I have been inside the storm eye many times)...and spent plenty of time in the jumpseat with phenomenal NASA pilots who all had "the right stuff". But I really enjoyed my time in the jump seat of commercial airlines including a United 747 going into Kai Tak with the famous checkerboard turn. We had such an awesome exchange on the flight deck...I learned so much about aviation, navigation and aircraft systems from the pilots...while the crew finally had their opportunity to ask a degreed meteorologist all their weather-related questions! Sadly these good old days will never return but I am fortunate I had a few years to enjoy the jumpseat. You are destined for great things in the industry...keep up the awesome work!
Swayne video: *exists*
Me: I’ll take your entire stock
Great vlog as always! My first jump was back in 1979 when my father worked for an airline called Braathens S.A.F.E. in Norway. I was 9, and he said to me, the golden rule of the jump seat. DO NOT SPEAK, unless spoken to. The captain was a WW2 veteran and the flight was short, only 15 mins. I was hooked! This is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! I tried to become a pilot. The Cerbral Palsy did not stop me, but my colorblindness did. So I worked as a red cap, and lots of my friends are captains now, so now I can jumpseat when I want to. It has been many types of aircraft and all seats different! How does it work in the US? In Europe you need a ticket, and I am not part of the crew. We get yellow vests. I do not think I can jump on a DHL or a UPS flight and just go. I still need a ticket. That may just be a paper slip with my name and the destination. How long until you can fly from the left seat? Have you sent your CV to the big three, or can you just move on up to AA when the need more pilots? Greetings from Norway! Be safe and fly safe. Not good with your airline at ORD.
As a new dispatcher who just put in my required jumpseat time literally two days ago, excellent video.
California Zephyr Productions Awesome!
What kind of training goes into becoming a dispatcher?
@@ryanf2029 Only main requirement is a dispatch license which can be earned at numerous FAA approved courses. Typically lasts 5-6 weeks. Material is almost identical to the ATP with some minor differences.
Congrats bud, Glad to see another dispatcher. Were you able to make it to the ADF conference here at DFW?
@@CaliforniaZephyrProductions How can the material be nearly identical to ATP if ti takes 5-6 weeks to learn when an integrated ATP course teaches material in 6-8 months?
Thank you for great posts. I started training as life allowed being 50 currently and now private pilot working on my instrument and on my 2nd aircraft a 2008 Cessna 400. The Bold Method is extremely helpful and G1000 training videos help me in my current situation. Keep posting as I may be an older guy that may be sitting jump seat next to you one day. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for checking out the video Bill
Thank you so much for producing your videos. They are exceptional and allow to me live vicariously through your career. I’ve always had an interest in aviation and had my dreams set on becoming a pilot but I lacked confidence in myself and had a fear of the unknown. Had something like your videos been available when I was choosing a career, I would have definitely becoming a pilot. You’re really doing a great service to those figuring out his or her career path.
Thank you so much! That's the whole goal of the series
Well done video! From 1984 until 9/11 I was able to occupy the jumpseat as an ATC under the old FAA FAM Program. We were the lowest-priority on the priority list of those qualified to occupy the seat. I have been “bumped” a fair amount of times. Nearly every trip I was able to learn something new. A few days after 9/11, The Bush administration eliminated the program as ATC’s were then considered, by them, to be a “safety risk” in the cockpit...a matter extremely insulting to ATC’s across the nation. It wasn’t until around 2010 that the Obama administration confirmed that we were trustworthy enough to be admitted back to the flight deck on a limited basis. Most of us recall the loss of one of the best training tools, especially for newer ATCs, that we could utilize. Controllers acted as additional crew members. Once, on a summer’s afternoon B732 trip, we were in such severe turbulence that both pilots were so busy trying to keep the nose pointed forward the captain told me to run the radio. Back then, most flightcrews were pleased to have that “extra set of eyeballs” in the cockpit.
That's actually really nice to know!
I always get excited every time Swayne uploads a new video.....I feel so privileged.......he has inspired me to take flying lessons and I really enjoyed it and it is now my passion. Thank u Swayne for the inspiration and great content
Bryan Montgomery That’s awesome Bryan!
Awesome video Swayne! As a private pilot working towards my instrument on my path to the airlines, I can say that your videos give really great insight into what the life of an airline pilot is like. Thanks!
During my years with a major International Airline back in the 70/80's I had plenty of Jump Seat flights.
It always was a great experience.
I would never be a pilot afraid of heights. But your videos give a whole new respect to what pilots and first officers do. American Eagle and American fly the Embraer 140, 145, 170, 175, 190, the Bombardier 700, 900, and Airbus A319 from PWM. We had them for 4 years but American and American Eagle left in the early 2000s but they ironically returned in 2015 with merger of Us Airways and American.
Hey bro, I am a student from University of Toronto. I come from China, It was my dream to be a pilot, and I will apply for China Eastern Airline student pilot program after my graduation! Your videos always inspire me, and let me have strength to move toward my dream. Thank you for your awesome videos !!!!
Im on the jump seat for Space X trip to Mars. Im getting dropped off on the moon, because im sick of crap Australian tv
What the block? goggle box and the batchellors ?? o wait.. Masked singer.. NETFLIX all the way baby!!!
Its crazy, ive watched you when you were still a Private Pilot, and look at you now, operating some big plane carrying 100 passengers.
Mr.Martin, do a world tour on jump seats only, that will be AMAZING.
that will be UNCOMFORTABLE
@@harlownick which is what makes it so impressive
@@zhuolixie5922 lol
No, that would be awful. Did you see how small those jumpseats are? And how thin the cushions are? And this wasn't mentioned but the legroom is generally terrible. To go around the world like that would be agony.
Great video! Thanks for emphasising professionalism and the etiquette involved. This goes from the most junior pilot to the most senior widebody captain! Like you said....it' a privilege! Treat it as such!!!!
Thanks Brian! Glad you noticed - I really want people to understand how much of a privilege it is
Impressive videos as well as extremely professional comportment by FO Martin. From your professional dress to your demeanor, you represent your profession and Envoy airline very well. In this age of casualness and cynicism, what a breath of fresh air to watch a professional smartly attired with real pride in his career. Keep up the good work, sir!
Mark Rothermel Thank you mark !
Hey man as usual I love the content, it gives me something to look forward to as I move up in the pilot buis! You inspired me to go for my license and I just got it this month. I can’t wait to get my next rating and keep working up in the aviation community. Thanks for the awesome videos
Callum Watson that’s awesome Callum !
GREAT episode! Most have no knowledge that "jump-seating" provision benefits even existed in the airline community. Great knowledge for the newcomer.
Love your videos. Gives a great insight on how the industry works.
You can jumpseat with a beard. AA recently changed their policy. You just need to be briefed that the mask may not form a proper seal.
Tim Thanks! I was looking for an answer to this!
@nightstalker How come?
@nightstalker I still kind of don't understand... anyone get jumpseat on Delta.
@nightstalker Ok whatever man, I didn't know you were clearly a Captain for Delta.
@nightstalker You don't get sarcasm... And just please stop, ok I don't care about this argument anymore.
Great video flew Bahrain to Hong Kong recently on Kalitta B747F - simply the best way to travel
Working on my commercial right now and your videos keep me going!
Alejandro Rodriguez That’s awesome to hear! I’m rooting for ya man
thumbs up Swayne - keep them coming. Your an asset to all future Airline pilots.
Dan M. Thanks Dan!
For those who do get to ride the cockpit jumpseat, make sure you *always* comply with 121.542, otherwise known as the "sterile cockpit" rule, which prohibits non-pertinent conversations when operating below 10,000 feet or when the aircraft is moving on the ground. The reg came about after an Eastern Airlines DC-9 crash in 1974 while on a low-viz approach to CLT. (Among the victims was Stephen Colbert's father and a brother). The crew of Delta 1141that crashed at DFW (departure without takeoff flaps set) was also cited as another example of the reg having been violated, and contributed to the accident. Most PICs will brief you to speak up if you see anything that warrants their attention, like traffic, etc. and something like that occurring below 10,000 is about the only exception to the rule.
Your videos are great and motivational for those who love aviation! Greetings from El salvador!
Excellent video, Swayne! Learned something new and enjoyed so so much!
Rekha Choudhury That’s awesome!!
Been on jump seat twice on ATR72-600.. wonderful experience
Nicely done and it would be a great resource for new hire/Indoc class. This isn't street knowledge and an important part of the profession. I had a new hire pilot from another carrier come into the flight deck saying he was in the jumpseat.... It turned into a fun and friendly lesson after I simply couldn't resist my best "brown shoe" introduction to the concepts and history of the jumpseat. I then laughingly explained that one needs to be polite and ask permission to come aboard any captain's ship or you may find yourself walking home or to work. Be a professional and enjoy the privilege. The jumpseat is a great place to see and learn to enhance your own skills as a pilot. Don't be that guy!!!
Roy Madewell Very true Roy! Thanks for watching
Nice to see new material.
Jump seating is a huge asset for the industry 👍👍👍
Swayne...you are a class act... Your videos are so informative and professionally done. Being such a young man.....the sky is the limit. You and Jeb, Paul Lucas and Sam are my favorites. I look forward to many more.
That md-11 shot was awesome!

Hey Swayne, maybe you could do a video about the benefits of flying with Envoy as a pilot. For example, if you get free tickets, discounts, benefits with other airlines while booking and if these benefits are extended to the family. Cheers
Awesome video as always man!! Keep up the hard work and dedication! You truly inspire a lot of us! 😎
Shane Burdette Thanks Shane!
Been watching since you caravan days! I’m a FO on the otter for Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines with 500tt, you did the exact thing I’m trying to do. My first choice for regionals is Envoy. I’d love to hear any tips you might have for me! And btw your editing is excellent and it’s made me want to do something similar on my channel to show a day in the life of a canyon runner 👍
That’s awesome man! Where do you go to flight school? I know times are very tough right now but I’m looking into a career change and I’m looking into possibly ATP and a coworker who is a former Northwest Airlines pilot recommended I look into Scenic Airlines after obtaining ratings to build time over flight instructing. How are they to work for? That’s great to hear it’s possible to get on with 500 TT.
@@patches8291 Think he was hoping for a response from Swayne Martin.
Thanks for your videos 👍 I love them. Can you please make a video on a typical day in the life of a pilot. (pre flight to shut down at the end of your shift) if possible
Richard A I’ll do that!
Amazing video man!!
Can you do some more flight deck videos, also a video on how to balance out college and flight training(not embry riddle or colleges that have flight programs), so that by the time you finish college you can go to a regional or charter carrier.
Thank you👨✈️👏
here in the EU, if you ask nicely, the captain might even allow a regular passanger to sit in the jumpseat. ive had that opportunity a couple of times now
Woah 2 videos in like 3 weeks! Thanks so much Swayne Martin!
Great segment Swayne. I had no idea how that worked and can see how it would be a big perk for pilots.
Jeff Holland Glad you enjoyed it Jeff!!
Swayne is just beautiful!
jasperson1000 Hahha I appreciate it
I really enjoy your videos mate! I got my private pilot license on August and doing my IFR right now. I want to fly for the bigger airlines one day too and your videos are very inspiring! Thanks
The B737 jumpseat at 1:18, also known as the "How the f*uck am I supposed to close this?"
Very nice as always. Can you do a video that explains the various pathways to becoming a pilot at Envoy such as the cadet program and their flow agreement with AA?
IslandSoundz I’ll look into that!
Hey Swayne, When you smiled at the vast open blue skies, it made me smile as well! It is certainly a privilege to be in the cockpit either in the jump seat or in the pilot seat! Many thanks for the video. Cheers!
Thank you for watching!
@@SwayneMartinPilot You're welcome mate!
Reading this made me rewind the video... Then I smiled. Truly living the dream!
Swayne, I would love to see a video about the pilot's union. I think it would make a great video and it could cover different topics like the benefits the union offers you, which airlines are union, how one becomes a member of the union, the structure of the union, different rules or standards they have set, etc.
Adam Lucas That’s a great idea!
Hey Swayne! Can you make a video detailing low hr CFI alternative jobs like what you did for mokulele? Thnx
-an auburn student :)
Faux Fox That’s a great idea!
Swayne Martin If interested and you ever head back to JKA, I can help you cover the banner towing alternative. I believe you are familiar with the operation I’m referring to.
Helpful courtesy tips for fa’s too! Our company is strict regarding fa jumpseats and id’s and its a good thing. Keeps the system clean professional and honest
Another Great video! Thanks for the information and Thank you for taking the time to do it Swayne.
John Oakes Thanks John!
This really is a great channel. Thanks so much for these videos.
Ian Crabtree Thanks Ian!
Swayne, Your videos and video production are exceptional. Keep up the great work. Clear skies and favorable winds my friend.
Love your vlogs Swayne!!!! We get to jumpseat with you on your journeys!!!!
I have to say, i am sooo envious about the jumpseating in the US. In Europe in many airlines jumpseating even in the own airline is not allowed (taking spare seats in the cabin might be), and not at all across other airlines. And working for an airline with bases in quite a few different countries across the continent that is really hard on those that have to commute.
It's so cool that airlines allow these videos.
I always enjoy following you in your career Swayne.
I wish i could have seen your vids 25 years ago.
Just another top level, great video, and your editing has become top notch as well. A great channel to follow!
Dan McGuire Appreciate it Dan!
@@SwayneMartinPilot Just keep bringing on the great videos!
Great insights again - thanks, Swayne!
Quality pilot. Quality human being. Quality videos. Would be so pleased to see you at an airport one day and shake your hand. You make aviation professional.
Thank you so much Gary!
Swayne it's been so long!! Don't keep us waiting for your videos!!
Daniel Bastidas Had a lot come up this summer! Glad I’m back on it now
Interesting! THANKS for Making another great video! You are the best!
David Somers Thank YOU for watching!
I must say that the info you passed down in this video was worth while and the photography was great. As captain of a major and having started in your position in 1979 you can tell I am from a different world. Most of the time your video's come off as a whiney unhappy child that didn't get his candy on time. We worked very hard thru a large number of economic downturns, government deregulations, controller strikes, B scales to get the working conditions you young men and women show up with today. My first year salary at my major was less than the signing bonus they give now .
How ever as of this writing date during the virus issue that all may change . Good luck.
Great Video Captain... .Jump'd on You guys last month & and so many others (200+) since starting my aviation career 40 years ago- as a kid. (Dispatcher/ System Controller) now..!
I see my Airbus @ 2:55 ☺ Maybe See you in the jumpseat lounge in KMEM.?
Keep the Pointy side Forward,► The dirty side down,... and dangle the dunlops !
I got to sit jump seat in a 747 on my way home from Desert Storm. Real cool.
Favorite and most challenging airport for you
It was always an enjoyable experience, as an ATC employee, to be able to be in a jump seat...
I remember when you were flying the little planes now your on the big planes! Well done 👍
Thanks!!
Good video man 👌🏻👍
DREAM BIG Thanks!!

You r so great brother.... I so crazy about this profession 🖤
Thank CAP Martín for your explanation, really a privilege somebody fly on this seat.
I love the vids Swayne! Keep it up!
Tommy Monroe Thanks Tommy!
My uncle works for the FAA and he sits in the jump seat and watches them in the 737
Jump seating was always a nice privilege. Had to use it all the time when commuting LAX-IAH, never minded the 767 but that 737 jump seat was uncomfortable for a 4 hr flight.
Loved this video swayne! Good job!
Great video Swayne!
Shivvv appreciate it!
Another great video as always Swayne.
Thanks Chris!
Great video as always! Proud of a KOFP brother...
It's been awhile since you've made a video glad to see you're doing well and advancing your career always learning something from your editing style and of course being Aviation geek looking forward to the next video If you ever in town and want to hit up a mountain bike trail I'm your guy look me up
