Five hours of flying with four arrivals/departures is “Ernin” your money for sure. Great episode. It’s wonderful to see Vicky thriving in the right seat. Hopefully she will have opportunity for left seat someday. It looks like she has a lot of flying left in her.
Wonderful videos! I love the format of the ATC with the approach and departure charts overlayed. I'm in IFR training right now and this is great as a learning tool for me. Thank you!
I really enjoy watching your FO interviews. Best part of your videos.. Interesting to hear how different people made it into aviation different ways. Keep up the great work Captain 🙂🙏
Ok this video was epic and Ern is on his game here. Love seeing fo interviews. My dream is over I think as I’m already in my mid 50s (I’m a pilot but just private/instrument) but I love living through you guys
I am 52, retiring after 27 years as a police officer and working on my commercial license now. I recently finished the instrument rating. I still have several more years to be a professional pilot. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of big ern. It’s never too late.
Listening to the voice is on the radio our first officers allowed to taxi to the runway or is it straight captain’s only on tax thing and then turning it over to the FO once you’re at the runway
Yet another fantastic video, Ern. However, Vicky was the star of this one--- what a wonderful bio! Hope I'm on a SWA flight with Ern and/or Vicky one of these days...
Hello Ern. I really appreciate these videos. I wish i could have afforded to complete my training. I hope one day, SWA will let you show us takeoffs and landings, but I respect their position. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. Keep up the great work.
Love the videos and the ever-preset quest for good food on the go. It's a shame for the rest of us in the traveling public that the best food at LAS is from a truck on the tarmac. Just got off a BUR-OAK flight this morning; I always take a peek in the cockpit to see if BigErn will be our pilot. Someday!
9:58 good choice..as a former resident of the New York Metro Area, Texas Bagels are NOT BAGELS. It would be like thinking NY BBQ is actually BBQ.. This is one thing I hate about AUS airport..they don't do fast food really..sure keep Salt Lick and a few other locals but they need a Whataburger or McDonald's too.
Another great video Ern. Going to be in Hawaii for a month in February to Early March and hoping you are the Captain on a short hop from PHNL to PHLI. Cheers from CYYB.
I'm flying to the Hawaiian Ialands in March and I'm hoping have you as my captain along the way. The possibilities of meeting you would be awesome as well be safe flying out there Captain Ernie!
My last time I flew from SacTown to San Antonio via Phoenix the first officer was a female. 2021 SacTown to San Antonio via Las Vegas it was an all female flight crew. It never happened during the heydays growing up with Burbank to SacTown. 💛❤️🧡💙❤️🧡💛❤️💙
Great advice from your FO, Vicky! Also, your radio voice sounds so different from your RUclips voice. I guess the radio modulation raises everybody’s voice an octave. 😂
Ok when I saw new video clips for the intro I got scared but it’s fine because the “going up going up get it down never” song is still there OG fan love your videos and just got my commercial license and you helped me fall in love with with aviation industry thank you keep up the good work!
Love the videos, keep them coming. I’d like to see a breakdown of your monthly schedule. Currently flying 135, patiently waiting for you all to start hiring again!
Nice to see the new intro with the 3 stripes gone. Regarding back-taxiing at ELP - might be unusual for you but Alaska 737 pilots do that daily at several airports in the 49th state.
Hey love your videos keep it up! Do you ever fly to Columbus? They just broke ground for our new airport. Old terminal getting demolished. Super excited to fly out of there.
Hey Ern!!! Big fan! Had a question? Are you based in the west coast and also have you ever tried Caribou Coffee? its a MN brand but I think you would lke it all my friends that are pilots go all the time!!
Since Southwest’s stock is failing so significantly, do you think that it may be the first Domestic airline to be nationalized by the U.S. Government as the domestic Airlines in the U.S. start their inevitable failures?
Five hours of flying with four arrivals/departures is “Ernin” your money for sure. Great episode. It’s wonderful to see Vicky thriving in the right seat. Hopefully she will have opportunity for left seat someday. It looks like she has a lot of flying left in her.
“A fear of flying hungry”. Haha love that 9:30
Another great one BigErn!! Thanks for intro to your FO Vickie and her flying background. Keep the videos coming! ✈️
Thanx Big Ern...nice flights.
Vickie is an 19:13 inspiration...right on.
Wonderful videos! I love the format of the ATC with the approach and departure charts overlayed. I'm in IFR training right now and this is great as a learning tool for me. Thank you!
FO was impressive, great communicator.
Vicky , you are amazing!! Ernie, thanks for the video as always!
Vicky is a great inspiration
Ern, you emit positivity in every video. That's what makes this channel work
@BigErn, I was going to make oatmeal, but now I want 2 taco truck tacos and a brrreakfast burrito! Vicki, you _rock!_ 😊
I really enjoy watching your FO interviews. Best part of your videos.. Interesting to hear how different people made it into aviation different ways. Keep up the great work Captain 🙂🙏
I complete agree.
LOVE IT!! I've been hoping for a KSAT video from you!
“Dad! a new BigErn video dropped”
Nice to see a South Asian at SWA! From another South Asian!
Love the content and would love to see more of the hotels and time between layovers. 🛩️
Enjoyable as always! Love the new intro. Will keep looking for on my travels.

@@unclefreddy2009 Never too late👍🏽. I had someone who was 60 in our newhire class.
I am 52, retiring after 27 years as a police officer and working on my commercial license now. I recently finished the instrument rating. I still have several more years to be a professional pilot. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of big ern. It’s never too late.
Love the new intro captain. I was lucky enough this weekend to spend some time in a MAX9 cockpit. Those screens are just something else:)
Listening to the voice is on the radio our first officers allowed to taxi to the runway or is it straight captain’s only on tax thing and then turning it over to the FO once you’re at the runway
Both airlines I’ve worked at captain always taxis FO always talks on the radio on the ground.
no High viz vest?
wow even the taco truck on the tarmac has airport prices :)
Great Vid!! As always.
The taxiway radio calls at those Bravo airport are insanely intimating. Great video to show the IFR routes and transition.
Yet another fantastic video, Ern. However, Vicky was the star of this one---
what a wonderful bio! Hope I'm on a SWA flight with Ern and/or Vicky one of
these days...
Thank for the inspiration and motivation ❤
Vicki living the American dream. I would be happy to have her as an fo or you as a pilot

@FlyingwithBigErn question. "Taxi into position and hold" was replaced with "Line up and wait"? and if so why?
Houston Center! Cool. great video Ernie
Another great video Ern. Going to be in Hawaii for a month in February to Early March and hoping you are the Captain on a short hop from PHNL to PHLI. Cheers from CYYB.
Love your vlogs! vlogs directly from the pilots themselves is what I like! get to see the real life of a pilot at work!
I'm from SAT - that Whataburger is super crowded no matter what time of day :)
I'm flying to the Hawaiian Ialands in March and I'm hoping have you as my captain along the way. The possibilities of meeting you would be awesome as well be safe flying out there Captain Ernie!
I see we improved the intro graphics, great video as always!
Don't fly hangry Big Ern! 😂
Great new opening! And you kill me about the food truck! It’s there every day except Sundays…just a heads up Big Ern!! 😂
@@HPfly Very good point!
Boy taking Vicki’s advice makes me wanna “Be Like Mike”!!! Outstanding advice!
You are awesome as always!!! CONGRATS!!! Good flights always 😊😊😊
Loved this one. Thank you! As far as what I want to see: Come to ICT and do a video here!
Shocked that juliet closure at ELP was not briefed.

Love the new intro!
Ditto-finally got rid of the guy in 3 stripes
I got flying just to go eat sometimes too😂
Did you guys forget to check the Notams?
Love the videos, keep them coming.
I’d like to see a breakdown of your monthly schedule. Currently flying 135, patiently waiting for you all to start hiring again!
Outstanding video!!!
Love the videos. Appreciate the coms and map so I can follow.
Nice to see the new intro with the 3 stripes gone. Regarding back-taxiing at ELP - might be unusual for you but Alaska 737 pilots do that daily at several airports in the 49th state.
Always love the videos.
what radar are you using that has all the airlines on it really nice
Would love to see a SFO to Denver
Or SFO to SLC leg in the Future if possible ❤🎉😊
Or a PDX to Cabo leg
@Flyingwithbigern can you please add a video of a leg that includes Albuquerque?
What software / website do you use to animate the air traffic? It's really neat!
@@johns8771 FlightRadar24👍🏽
The video departing LAS must be old....the Tropicana is still there! :-) Safe flying!
Yall came into ksat rwy 4 over downtown I watched on flight radar 24
Retired. Sitting in the waiting room at Mayo Clinic. Pass on the What-A-Burger was a good forced choice.
Love the new intro.
Hey love your videos keep it up! Do you ever fly to Columbus? They just broke ground for our new airport. Old terminal getting demolished. Super excited to fly out of there.
Enjoyed the video as always.Have a blessed day.❤️💛💙✈️✈️👋😉😎
Love the intro 🎉
do you come east of the Mississippi river use Southwest Airlines out of SDF when I fly to anywhere in Texas or West Coast
I want those tacos now !
Have you done all of southwest hubs in one day?
I am assuming the flight time references are wheels up to wheels down and not taxi and other potenenial delays.
Like to see you fly in and out of MDW (possibly in the snow).
My happy sound 🛫!
Hey Ern!!! Big fan! Had a question? Are you based in the west coast and also have you ever tried Caribou Coffee? its a MN brand but I think you would lke it all my friends that are pilots go all the time!!
When are you going to fly the max8
I don’t get it. On the San Antonio leg the FO was flying but she did the ground comms and after takeoff Ben took over. Is that always the procedure?
I still want to know what the opening theme is!!
Ern could u pickup a pwm trip please u need to it would be from bwi nashvile and others please should i take u or breeze to mco from mht
Great video. Anyone else copy these days in Flight Simulator?
I am going to be a pilot for Southwest Airlines 👨🏽✈️
I’m going to say you don’t have what it takes .
Not cus I dislike you….but so you can tell people you made it when others said you couldn’t 😂
I was in SAT over thanksgiving, you better have time to spare if you are going to get food form that airport whataburger
Where do you get the maps?
Jeppeson Charts and FR24
How’s the HUD treating you after 2? years?
I like the live window view of takeoffs and landings, please continue.
New intro
❤
👋🏻KSRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸✈️
Four legs...no thanks!
Since Southwest’s stock is failing so significantly, do you think that it may be the first Domestic airline to be nationalized by the U.S. Government as the domestic Airlines in the U.S. start their inevitable failures?
Y a s s d e y 7 e
FO, great job but might want to keep the hair shorter and or secured as I have seen woman pilots pull their hair while on the yoke, no beuano.
thats a lot of talking
Hey buddy! Love your videos, BUT... I would appreciate it if you could be less technical for those like me who aren't pilots.
