I’m 1 to 2 flights away from my private pilot stage 1 stage check. I’ve been studying and studying and preparing myself for my first stage check. If I pass I solo! Watching your videos are a big help and an inspiration to me. My dream airline is Southwest. Great video
Keep up that hard work my friend. HWPO!
Long time Corporate Pilot here… I am always amazed at how many guys do not understand that nobody cares where you were before and how you used to do something. Learn what your company at the time does.
Congratulations, Ern! You did it! Great video, too!
Thank you for helping us ern! I’m watching this mentally preparing myself for the future. You are helping me and so many others and I greatly appreciate your videos!!
cool video! love the training side of things and hearing what the airlines are doing to always improve training
That was outstanding. Thank you for the behind the scenes tour!
Thanks for posting - always watch for your videos.
Never gets old seeing the SW HQ. Definitely miss the 3 day training we had to do down there when I got hired on. Love the vids man!
Thanks Trevon👍🏽
Enjoy watching your videos Big ERN. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏾
“Be willing to learn and be willing to put in the work” and have a great attitude……..excellent advice Ern!
This was so cool! Thanks for sharing wow!
Love the video sir! Really shows what is needed to keep our skills sharp. Stay safe brother!
Glad you liked it Marty! Cheers!
Another amazing SWA video from Ern !! Thanks !!
Excellent topic. Thanks for showing us this behind the scenes part of your job. This is what makes you guys so good at what you do. Take care and blue skies and tailwinds always.
Thanks Reale! Cheers my friend👍🏽
Thank you for this RUclips. You have an amazing Monday! Fly safe.
Another great video Ern. Love your professionalism. SWA pilots are the best.
I really enjoyed the highlights of what you go through to be a successful pilot.
Appreciate that feedback William👍🏽. Cheers!
This training center and training modules are very state of the art. I really appreciate the food for thought you give regarding nutrition, sleep, etc.
Random: I watched a check airman at ORD recently and knew exactly what he was doing after watching a few of your videos.
This is awesome Ern. Interesting to see what they put you through to keep us safe. Your editor makes some funny edits
Glad you enjoyed it Dax👍🏽 Yeah Luke is doing great!
"Attitude with effort"
Words to live by 👊
Thats awesome man!! Great video!
Big Ern! I’m one of your Simulator Techs there at SWA LEADS. Great video! Glad you had a great experience at the training center, we sim techs take pride in our simulators and our training center. We will see you next year!
You guys are the best! It’s amazing to me the operation we have there. When I got here we had 7 sims. Now 24!😲. I’m so appreciative of what you guys do to give us the best training. Cheers!
This is a very good thing for people to see. Because there are many people out there that are afraid to fly and seeing videos like this that show people that they are training for situations can ease that fear. Great stuff, good video.
Very cool seeing how you guys train.
...way to go Big Ern..practice makes perfect..and still working really hard every day..with 18k loyal followers..now strapped in and sitting just behind you..and looking right over your shoulders..keep em coming..and even more continued success..
Cheers LR!👍🏽
Thanks, Ern. Attitude is everything!
Loved the insight, and loved seeing all that goes into the annual review process! Just moved to PHX and will start Destination 225 in two weeks and I couldn’t be more excited! Looking forward to stopping by HQ for a touchpoint in the future! Thanks for all the videos, Ernie, as they’ve been instrumental in my decision to pursue aviation and Southwest.
Very happy to hear that Jason! Best of luck in your journey👍🏽. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around campus. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video. I am truly, as well as others Grateful for your attitude pertaining to your training. I always try to Fly Southwest when I can. Thanks again :):)
Appreciate that Derek and we appreciate your business👍🏽. Cheers!
Absolutely love your videos! As an older private pilot with advanced ratings, it’s exciting to see how things work in your industry. Extremely inspiring!
Love your laughing and the editing in the video, nice job and thank you!!
Great stuff as always Ern
Awesome to see behind the scenes! It was cool meeting you in ATL a month ago. Hope to fly with you in the future!
Really like your mentoring area of focus within your videos - attitude, sleep/nutrition, accepting criticism/correction. Great lessons for all forms of aviation and beyond.
Thanks Paul! Comes from what I would tell my younger self if I had a time machine. Oh and stock picks too😁. I would tell him that too!
Super cool. Thanks!
Great video sir! Love watching your uploads.
Appreciate that Ronin 👍🏽
Great video Ernie! Really enjoyed it!
Glad to hear it!
Always transparent and sincere Ern. Very familiar with the SWA campus and the simulator training area, very cool. Safe travels ✈️
Thank you Frank! See you around campus👍🏽
Lately, you have put out some awesome pre-hire videos... Not just the guy's that are going to Southwest, but any 135/121 operation. Thanks for sharing
Interesting stuff! First time checking out your content I’m already a fan
Training center loooks sooo DOPE 💙💛❤️ ✈️
Thanks for the great advice🙌🏼
Of course!!
You the man !! Everyone needs a teacher such as yourself to be the best they can be.
The learning never stops Ern. When I did engine maintenance runs I went in the sim for emergency procedures annually. Pretty nerve wracking and it seemed no matter how well I did the Instructors still felt obliged to "destroy the aircraft" and me with it! LOL. Best of luck to the newly hired pilots, FAs, maintainers and support staff!
Ha! Yeah they’re really good at that. Cheers Tony!
"no one cares about your feelings" LMAO!
also i can hear the rock saying, "IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU BEEN BEFORE!" LOL
😁 so true right?!
Yes, the yearly recurrent training. Very nice!!!
You are welcome. I assume your recurrent has included the new additions of flying the Max addition to the 737s.😌😌
Excellent video on the sim training. As a non pilot but aviation enthusiast it was very neat to learn about pilots training and see it visually. Your a great role model for new future hires . Keep the good work
Glad you enjoyed it Steve! And I appreciate the compliment. Cheers!
I can’t say I miss the sims from my training lol! Key to all that training was having a great sim partner, staying disciplined with flows and studying, and having a good attitude for sure.
Great video Ern, I am w/ UPS went through my checks last week, 25 yrs w/ the company. Its so good to not see your 73-Max sitting idle anymore on the tarmacs.....nice rental
Awesome! You’ve seen some good growth over there. And yes that 3 was very cool!
Hard work pays off! 💪🏽👍🏽
Always Nemi 👍🏽
Fascinating.
Great training Southwest.
I worked with the EFB team in that building as an intern back in 2019. Great people and awesome technology for all that training!
4:26 I can totally build a 737 cockpit in my home. Great video!! Love it!!
I got a flight on SWA from PHX-PDX in about 2.5 weeks! Very excited and maybe u will even be my pilot!
Cool video…very informative. My friend just got the call Monday…he’s pretty pumped to say the least!
...doing..some ditching practice .in the stim-ulator..priceless ..thanks Big Ern..
Just found your channel a few days ago, and love it already! I'm an Ops and Ramp Agent here in BZN (we're contractors out here) and we'd love to have you in one day! Bid for a BZN overnight sometime and a beautiful visit to our town will await you!
Thanks Ern for the video!! If you ever get to fly to Hawaii, it'll be nice to get a sense of the differences in operations between ETOPS and normal continental flights.
I hope to bring that to you guys sometime next year👍🏽
This is pretty cool!
Great video! I am so glad to see you putting out some amazing content. Currently still a CFI almost at 1000 hours. Southwest is the goal can’t wait to hopefully run into you one day!
Awesome Skyler! Keep pressing my friend! I’d be honored to fly with you one day!👍🏽
Great video and topic!
I really like ur positive attitude towards everything, I am gonna try to work on my attitude and see things more in positive light , great videos tho
Solid video Ernie. You should be a motivational speaker and part of SWA's recruiting team.
G,day from Sydney Australia.
Very nice training facilities, thankyou for the look around.
When the chips are down! Best way to find a person's strengths and weaknesses for the job.
🥧🍵
Hi John! I agreed my friend. Hopefully I’ll get to make my way down there someday. Cheers!
Hey Ernie! Thanks for the awesome video. This video couldn’t have come out at a better time for me. I start new hire training at Skywest next month and it’ll be the first time for me in a 121 environment. I cant wait for it!!
Wow CONGRATS!!!! Really happy for you!!!
Awesome!!!! What a great company. Just show up ready to learn and with that great attitude that got you hired there. You do just fine. Best of luck!👍🏽
Good job Ern, hopefully I’ll be in the southwest training center one day. Fly safe.
Hope so too!👍🏽
What amazing vídeo !!!
Cool sim centre! Always a great feeling getting those 6 months sims done. I have my first 787 sims coming up already….came around fast. 100 percent correct on attitude….when I was training on the A320/A321 it always made my job much easier if the student FO/Captain had a good attitude
That’s how I felt when my training came up again this year😁. Best of luck on that Ian! Cheers!
Nice video thanks for posting it
Just did my yearly a few weeks ago. Also have a Model 3P so just do it, you'll love it. HOU dude.
Honestly I love the channel Ern! It was nice meet you at BUR! Also if you get a chance you should try the push back simulater 😁
Gotta check that out Ryan! Cheers! And good meeting you as well👍🏽
It was awesome meeting you in person 👍🏾
Great video. Good points. You’re a great teacher with a great attitude. Keep up the good work !

Flying Southwest out to Vegas next month, I'll be looking into that LEFT seat to see if you're doing my flight Ern! Congrats!
Great post Ern! That first sim was awesome! I will be vacationing in Honolulu January 21 to February 20, 2022. Let me know if you might be flying into PHNL and I will be out near the Reef runway to video you! Cheers from CYYB North Bay Ontario Canada.
Very nice of you!🙏🏽. I hope so soon. Enjoy your vacation! Sounds amazing👍🏽
It was great to meet you I'm Rico
From PHX ramp you were flying to PVR
Enjoy your channel keep on doing what you do
I’ve stayed at that exact hotel, pretty nice huh!? Thanks for sharing
We live just a few miles north and east of Love Field and Southwest’s headquarters, and my daughter works for American based out of DFW. Love that Dallas is home to two mega airlines. Do your parents fly non-rev? To me, that’s the greatest perk ever!
You are a great teacher. I bullshited my way on to a 747-400 for South African Airways with a thousand hours as a cfi. I worked my ass off and learned systems with an A and p no jet time and I got hired. Luckiest bastard in aviation.
haha nice one , Im so sad that SAA let those jumbo jets go like that.
I love that hotel. Had many good nights in that place.
great video
Great recruiting video, hope to see you on a flight to say hello
I live in PHX too 🌵. I plan on applying for the SWA flight attendant position on the 23rd!
Awesome! Best of luck to you!👍🏽
Dave Pope....Check Airman!! Did i hear that right...very cool. Good to go for a year!
I know right?! Great addition to the CKAM team👍🏽
Nice video, it was really interesting to see how Southwest invest in quality training. Suggestion, a video on how you prepare yourself for the checkride, the study rutine. Safe landings!!
That’s a great idea! Cheers!
I like to gather new ideas, I am getting ready for my sim check ride. Safe flights
Hey Ern! Love the vids. Binging your vids since I just applied to ATP at 42. At the end of the video. I was wondering if you could tell me where the shelves came from. My wife would love them. Thanks! Fly safe!!
Nice Ern!
VERY NICE VLOG
Great video as always, love this airline content! Can’t wait to fly the line with you in a few years. #destination225
I can’t wait as well my friend! Keep up the hard work!👍🏽
We need this amount of training for drivers lol Air travel is the safest way to travel
Very nice Sir
So Ive noticed inflight usually gets Hilton, Ground Ops gets Crown Plaza. Currently in Dallas for Ramp, currently a Ramp Agent at AUS, be nice to me 😆
Hoot mon !
Stay safe, good health with your family, friends & supporters. Godbless 🙏🙏🙏
Way to go Ern! Doesn’t matter what stage of your career you are in, a check ride is a check ride and they are never “easy”. Just passed my CFI the other day…your advice is priceless. You’ve been at SW for 10 years…. Upgrade coming or are you staying with the seniority and QOL of a 10 year FO?
Congratulations Russell! That’s a big accomplishment👏🏽. It is the toughest checkride out there in my opinion. Bravo to you and your hard work!
That’s a good question! The QOL is awesome in the right seat for sure. But I wouldn’t mind flying to Hawaii in the left seat😁. Cheers to you and keep hustling👍🏽
Been there plenty of times with my dad who's a line instructor
Wish we could watch the actual sim session. Think that’d be really interesting! Would southwest let you?
Ernie, as someone about to get out of the Air Force and considering becoming a professional pilot; do you enjoy these trainings? It is annoying to go to? I know you seem happy there!
How long is the initial training from when you hit your hours to learning to fly your first regional jet?
How does the pay work for when you’re doing your refresher training?
Hope to hear back from you sir.
Thanks
Do you feel safe to fly the Max now? Is it easier to fly than the 700 or 800?
Also what is your favourite airport to fly in or out of?
Hey Big Ern,
Great video. Do you guys incorporate communications with atc in your sim trainings?
Thank you! The instructor will act as ATC during our sims. Cheers!
Currently flying 206s, 182s, and GA-8s. Stick me in a 737-800/900 all day!
Did you make it to Chicago the suspense is killing me haha
😁 not even close!
