Congrats Swayne with getting your first flying job! Your enthusiasm and passion for flying is the type of aviator the majors are looking for. Enjoy your career progression and maybe one day we will have a chance to fly on the same flight deck at United!
Swayne have you found a place to live for the summer and when do you graduate from College and where is home for you on the main land? I live on the west coast of Florida .
Awesome video Swayne. I see you have about 500hrs. For 20 yrs I was a Private/instrument pilot (750hrs). After seeing Steveo's videos late 16' I decide to go for the commercial and I passed the check ride 3/21. I now have the Multi check ride scheduled for 4/26 and I just summited my first application to fly Caravan's. Thanks for the video and I look forward to more.
You take flying on as I take coaching on. I show your videos to a lot of the kids I coach you are one of the most inspirational people that I know. Keep the videos coming please
wow, good for you young man! this will be one of those life memories i'm sure you'll remember forever. i'm a cessna fan. bought my skylane new in 2005, i still have it. those new caravans are awesome aircraft. out on cape cod, we have cape air flying all around and i see young pilots all of the time and think how cool it is to get started so early and have all those fun flying years ahead of you. hope it's a great experience!
Congrats Swayne! I love your videos, they help insipre me to pick out the fun parts about flying and reminds me how fun it can be even after a bad flight lesson. Good luck in Hawaii and keep up the good work!
Aye Brah! I am born and raised in da islands... Honolulu... grew up in Pearl City, Oahu, Koloa, Kauai and Haiku, Maui before moving to the mainland. Welcome to Hawai'i Nea! Enjoy your new job. My son is a freshman in college studying to be a professional pilot and hopes to get a job flying in Hawaii. We both own a Grumman Tiger back here in Colorado. Good luck in your adventure. Looking forward to watching your progress!
Congrats Swayne Martin. I know a friend of mine who is supposed to get a job flying Mokulele Airlines performing flights to/from LAX. I can't wait to one day see him fly the Caravan while I'm seated behind on a future business trip. I am a private pilot myself.
Congrats! A totally awesome adventure ahead of you now. Make the most of it and the next step in your aviation education called real life! The best to you and yours.
5 years later and suddenly I'm finding myself watching all of the videos from you about this airline because I am entering a direct-to-airline program, and this is one of the featured airlines.
This is the best aviation video on RUclips I've ever seen. So excited to see you flying for them this summer. My first solo is in May and I'm getting more and more excited.
hey swayne congrats on landing your first job, been watching your vids since you posted your fist solo, it feels as though us your views have been on the journey with you, keep up the great working and as always looking out for more, happy flying!
Hey Swayne! First off, a big congratulations on your first commercial pilot job! What a great opportunity with and amazing home base. I've watched your videos since your first solo and have been one of the many people to inspire me to follow my dream as well! Hope to fly with you one day! From one pilot to another, thank you!
That's funny, I just saw Mokulele Airlines was hiring and I'm glad this was in my recommended videos! Thanks for the insight Swayne and hope to see you on the line soon!
Ive had no aviation background at all, no experience until a year or so ago I came across one of your vids, now I'm about to complete my private pilots license. When any one asks me how did you get into flying , I say I was sat at my desk in work and I was inspired by a youtube video, for that I thank you and wish you all the best in your career :)
Congrats!! I'm coming back to this video to encourage me, I got my Commercial back in October, but have been denied all 4 jobs I've applied to. It's rough after thousands spent and 4 years of my life being sacrificed to flight training, but I guess the cool thing is I still love flying!!
I'm really really happy for you. It has been some month now that I have the pleasure to enjoy seeing your videos ! Cessna 208 is my favorite plane so I'll have even more pleasure seeing your vlogs haha ^^ , take care. Alex from the Caribbean
Swayne Martin That's awesome! I'm currently working on my Commercial Single - Multi and doing the same thing. Sharing through my RUclips channel videos of me flying with my friends so that people can see how fun this field is and get the newer generations motivated! ✈️
Congratulations sir I know the feeling. I'm taking my commercial Checkride next month and then start sending out these apps. Hard work does pay off.....It really does.
Congrats brother. Sounds like an excellent first job, the caravan is an amazing plane and you're in Hawaii to boot! Jealous. Good luck and keep us posted.
My kids are coming up the pilot ranks. I have a couple questions about this… 1. Can you log the time that you are sitting first officer on an airplane that only requires one pilot? 2. Do they help you with lodging since it's very expensive to live in Hawaii? Also….be VERY careful on what you post online. Any major airline will look at your online footprint and you don't want a little fun video editing to cost you your dream job.
Good questions! You can log SIC time in a single pilot plane ONLY when the company op specs require and SIC. The op specs act as a FAR essentially, so even though it's certified single pilot, our air carrier cert here requires an FO. No help with lodging sadly - Luckily I have friends here! I try to be as careful as I can when filming and publishing content online. We received approval from the FAA to film passenger carrying 135 ops under certain conditions, so that's good!
Congrats! I just passed my Commercial Multiengine checkride this past week. Just have to do my single engine add on then cfi school. Plan on shooting an app. out to Mokulele here in the next few months. Look forward to seeing your videos! Looks like an awesome place to start out as a commercial pilot!
Congrats Swayne!! I'm preparing myself to be a pilot one day too! Thanks for all the useful info and videos u r sharing in this channel! All the best to ur career!!
Excellent choice man, I lived on Oahu for just over 4 years and loved everyday of it. Of all the islands, Kauai is probably my favorite. Hope to be back out there soon after I finish my ATPL and degree at ERAU.
Wow dude!! I'd say you're a lucky bastard, but I'm sure it took a lot of hard work and determination to get where you are. Take it from a 35 year old flight simmer. You the man. You the man...
Hey, that was an awesome video! You're living the dream :) Where are you from? for me it sounds like a native english speaker. But flying around, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful islands in the world is just amazing. Liked, subscribed and looking forward to new videos! BTW, I have the same dream, being a pilot once a day :) Greetings from Germany Planespotting HAJ
One of the hardest things of flying in Hawaii is to pronounce and spell the Hawaiian words. Another thing is I noticed when I rented a Cessna to fly around the big island they used a lot of pigeon english on the radio, its a whole different way of flying.
I just came across your channel and wanted to say Congratulations on your new job Swayne! Best of luck to you. Pilot and enjoy the beach when not working....... sounds amazing :)
Hey I live in Hawaii and I fly Mokulele all the time!!!!! Hope to have you as my pilot sometime!!!!!!
That'd be awesome!
Swayne Martin flew jumpseat with mokulele just last weekend, helicopter cfi student here on the big island would be cool to meetup mokulele is right next to our school brotha!
