  • The mainland to Hawaii this week was a little different in the 737. We took a bit of a different route in the 737 this week. It was fun as always, even has some good sushi!
    Hope you all enjoy it. Cheers!

    Great video as always... I constantly look for Big Ern when I board...I sat next to a Captain on my flight home from Phoenix- asked if he knew Big Ern--lol -- he had his iPad and showed me the entire trip home from the pilots view...one of the best flights I've ever had!! I love SWA and their crew!

    Big Ern.....Flew that back and forth on United when I had shore duty in the Navy and if I remember correct we made the HNL to LAX Block to Block in just over 3 hrs. one time........ it was those new 747's back in '72 this was a turn around run from Chicago and back... just a handful of people on the return and the landing was to the East ( not sure if they did that just for this flight 🤔) ........and we rolled right to the gate..... 10 years later I met the Capt. of this flight at our Flight school one Saturday.😁 small world.

  • @ScottHatmaker
    @ScottHatmaker Год назад +1

    Love watching you in the 737. I instruct (mostly entertainment) in 737 SIM. Was wondering why on the ETOPS route back if something goes wrong past the "return point", why SFO is the destination instead of lets say LAX which seems a lot closer on your route. Maybe better maintenance there? But if the problem was bad enough, would you probably change that to LAX or even SAN which at least look closer on the iPad.
    Thanks and keep up the good work...

    After flying the 737 for 7 years I can say it is hard to even think about going back after being in the airbus. Comfort on long flights is nice! We can fit 2 jumpseaters and all their bags up front which is nice, so no one gets left behind. However as a commuter you do what you got to do! If you’re on the second jumpseat of the 737 you hope your captain is not a spooner!

    Hello Captain Ernie,
    Awesome video.
    That is the first time that I learned something about the engines on the Max-8 coming from a RUclipsr.
    I do have a question. Is there a reason why Southwest Airlines don't allow filming in the Cockpit while you are flying?
    Also Just to let you know, 4th Year Anniversary of Southwest Airlines Flight #: 1608 from Oakland to Honolulu first flight is coming up.
    That first flight happened on March 17th, 2019 which I tracked that first flight that day and it was the Boeing 737-800.
