    Love watching your channel Ern! Southwest is lucky to have you- you are a great ambassador for their brand- and no one deserves that 4th strip more than you! We are all cheering for you!

    HAHA! I was the FO on that SkyWest 175 right next to you! That ramper WAS amazing. Saw you at the curb waiting for the van...wanted to say hi but you were busy on a phone call. Safe travels buddy! Hope to see you at PAPA.

    I primarily fly on Southwest when I travel, and it is pure joy to travel with you through these videos. Your enthusiasm and dedication are inspiring, and we're all elated to see it paying off. Congratulations on the upgrade, how exciting!!! People like you are why this is my primary airline!

    I too am a Phoenix Southwest employee and I love your videos! It’s interesting to see the job from a pilot’s perspective but I can’t deny that I love that Cirrus almost as much as the 737!

    Congratulations on the promotion. If anyone for that airlines deserves it that would be their best F.O. and brand promoter. Now that you showed us all the work a F.O. Does it will be nice to see what the Captain does. Love your videos so keep them coming Captain.

    Been watching your videos for awhile now! To my surprise I was exiting the plane in SNA and saw you at the cockpit! I said something like “BigErn!” and you acknowledged me back! It was so cool that you were one of the pilots for our flight! My wife later asked me how I know who you are haha! I said I watch him on RUclips! 😎great flight and I actually filmed the take off from PVR-SNA as we sat in the seats. Let me know how to send it to you if you’re interested from my view! Keep up the good work!

    Excellent shout out to the controllers......I loved when any pilot would visit us in the TRACON, especially when you've got the time to sit and hang out for a bit. Hope you get the upgrade, take care BigErn.

    Southwest must have seen your videos in the cirrus and said, “he looks right at home in the left seat. Make it happen.”

    Ernie…I am a million miler on a different airline and well over that in total career miles from my corporate roles over the years. While I rarely fly Southwest, I have immense respect for your profession (pilots and flight attendants). I simply fit better into a model with first class upgrades given my travel frequency. That said, I love your videos and find your passion infectious. I am confident you deserve the upgrade to captain and that you will serve with distinction. Southwest is lucky to have you. Well done!
