  • As I start a new adventure in the coming days, I want to thank Envoy Air for helping me grow as a pilot and allowing me to share this journey with all of you. My goal has always been to make your journey to the flight deck a little easier. In the past 36 videos produced while flying for Envoy, I've tried to clarify some of the most challenging topics that you'll face when you start as a First Officer. In 4 minutes, here's a look back at the past 4 years of being an airline pilot.
    Flight deck footage was filmed under Part 91 with permission from Envoy Air, Inc.

Since then it’s been awesome to watch your journey and I’m excited to see what you have to share in the future! Thank you, and congrats!!

    Swayne, your videos have always been the greatest insight not just into the life of a wholly-owned, but 121 life as well. Being on the 145 at Piedmont, I always watched your videos as not just preparation of whats to come next, but inspiration. From following your beginning adventures at UND, to Mokulele, up to now, you will always have a follower. And when I need to show friends outside of the aviation community what I do for a living, your videos are the only ones on my list. Thank you so very much for taking the time and dedication to making these insightful videos, and thank you for your motivation on earning my new type rating on the 175! Congratulations and Good Luck on your upgrade!!!

    Bravo, Swayne! I’m so happy for you and the journey you have been on in the past four years. Thank you for sharing this journey and experience with us. Now, I’ll admit...I’m no pilot and I’ll stick to teaching 2nd graders...but I really do enjoy watching what the life of a pilot is all about. It’s exciting, demanding, adventurous, and time-consuming....all rolled into one. But...the one thing you add to your job description is INSPIRING. You really do inspire others to join your profession and you do it with kindness and an open heart. So, if anyone out there is thinking about becoming a pilot, follow this guy’s footsteps and take his advice. As for me, I’ll just continue to sit here on the sidelines...being nosey about your life...and rooting you on every step of the way, Swayne!

    I found your your channel at the beginning of my senior year of high school in the fall of 2017! I was curious about aviation and looking into what life would be like in it. Fast forward over 4 years, now Im about to Finnish college and I’ve begun my PPL, currently at 30 hours. Still a long way to go, but off to a strong start! your videos have brought me great joy and motivation! You have been a big part of why I’m choosing to pursue a career in aviation! Thank you for your great content! Can’t wait to see where you go next!

  • @BoostedSpeedDemon
    @BoostedSpeedDemon 2 года назад +15

    I've been watching you since the very beginning and I think that your sincerity, genuineness, and humble attitude make you one of the best Pilots to watch on RUclips. You let the younger generation know that they can do it as well. I wish I had made better choices in my life to where I could have been a commercial pilot, but instead I will be trying to live a different dream. And seeing your success at your dream, is a good motivator.

    Thank you for inspiring me for such a long time, just started Flight training and my dream and fire of becoming an airline pilot is only beginning! Good luck at United with that beauty of a plane you’ll have, stay safe and have a safe flight captain.
