    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.

      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

    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!

  • @Jerseyguy8527
    @Jerseyguy8527 3 дня назад +1

    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.

    @FlyingwithBigErn question. "Taxi into position and hold" was replaced with "Line up and wait"? and if so why?

    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. 💛❤️🧡💙❤️🧡💛❤️💙
