- 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!

“73 is not like an Airbus, where you guys have a couch” -one of the best Ernie quotes ever😂
And a dining room table!
Truth! But I like my couch and dining room table 😆
I would like to see that.
Gotta see a picture of 4 pilots in a cockpit of a 737. That’s gotta be tight!
Love it! Imagine if you boarded a Southwest and you happened to see Big Ern up front in the flight deck getting prepared for departure.
I look each time I board a SW plane!
Really appreciated seeing the ETOPS routes and the ETP charted from the dispatcher. Cool stuff for a college student studying aeronautical science to see it all in action! Keep making the awesome videos!
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!
Livin' the life Ern. Got your fourth stripe, flying to Hawaii and staying at the Andaz Maui.
C5=freedom bird. Always will be #1 in my heart. Great episode Ernie.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Excellent work and props to you for taking the time out of your day to present this wonderful content!
Thank you!!
Awesome post Ern. Next time you are in Honolulu on a Sunday, go to Orchids Brunch at the Halekulani Hotel. You will not need to eat for a week! I noticed you were in Maui on the 31st. Darn, I was over on Oahu hoping to film you some day arriving or departing during my annual winter visit. Darn. Maybe next year. Cheers from CYYB!
Wish you had a cockpit cam for departures and arrivals
Yeah, we really have almost a sofa on the Airbus, nice video my friend!!!
Jealous! HaHa
Wow, C-5's ? Grew up in Dover, De seeing the C-5 A's and B's. Love the old engine sounds!
Big Ern's in the left seat Yee--uh!😊
Fun Stuff!
I just did an OGG trip that was assigned the Andaz. Two weeks before the trip they switched to another hotel! I was so disappointed but still a wonderful time was had! Thanks for your videos!
Andaz by Hyatt is just great... Congratulations you seem so much more comfortable as a captain now .
737 is not like a airbus where they have a couch lol love it great video blue skies
Thanks for showing all this ETOPS information, it’s fun to learn about it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the behind the scenes of the pilot life! Great stuff Ern.
Can’t wait to see how this turns out
great trip as always!!!!
Thanks captain...always enjoyable videos!
Always positive, great energy, most of all happy and enjoying the job , love it
Thank you for watching!
Love the video Big Ern. Those captain stripes look great on you.
Love the awesome information you provide in detail. You are always positive, and make this industry great!
Another great video! Good times 😊
Great Maui is where I became a chef at the Hyatt Regency 1981. I started Sansai Sushi seafood restaurant with DK Kodama. Great tour thank you 🙏
Earnie going to Hawaii again...one lucky newly promoted Captain!
Don't forget that it was a MAX...never mind, should have commented after watching the whole video.
Good for you man!
Cheers from Canada
Thank you very for sharing your trip. I love your flight and Maui information. We were there last year and loved it. Going back soon
Thanks Captain!! Always look forward to your videos. Hope to see you in Tampa sometime
Nice to take a look at the ETOPS route to Hawaii. I missed out on the Max, and Hawaii, but got to retire before Covid. The early days of Hawaii looked like more work than fun.
It's a blast!
Always enjoy your content Big ERNIE 👍🏻
Happy to see you in the left seat. Hawaii is so beautiful. A great layover
Surprised HI flights are not grabbed by senior captains since it is a lot of flight hours in one shot. I figured PHX - LAS/LAX/SAN/SNA would be for new captains.
You're a great ambassador for SW airlines!
Great stuff Ern!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
We need a Big Ern C5 tour! (I am sure you know the right people!) sweeeeeeet overnight
Not a bad idea, I like it!
Nice lanyard!!
Great video, Big E! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Loving the B-roll footage in this vlog. Really appreciate all the edits you do to keep us entertained, Ernie. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
❤
..as an early subscriber..thanks again..Capt. Ern..and please keep em coming ..
I appreciate your support from day 1!
Ern, I love seeing you in the left seat.
Good video, always enjoy them , thank you ✈️
Thank you for watching!
Our son's best friend is the concierge at the Andaz. We enjoy staying in Wailea..... Aloha Nui🌴
Awesome hotel!!
It was great seeing you on another flight and I wish I was a passenger on your flight noting I would be in good hands in the air. Southwest is be coming my favorite airlines, thanks to you a great pilot doing a great job. Keep it up
Very immersive as usual. If i understand correct, flight inbound Hawai required a specific route due /partly due to SpaceX launch in Vanderberg. WoW. It's like a Sci-fi movie😋
yeah Big Ern! i live Maui and love every bit of it🤙🏽
Thanks for the video Big Ern. My family and I stayed at the Andaz Maui in November. Nice place and they have a great gym. It's also beach front.
I love a good hotel gym, not gonna lie...
Awsome video I live in Phx as well hoping to become a pilot for SWA
C5...good grief Ernie. Once a servicemember always a servicemember
Man, the editing in this video is So good! I hope to be in your shoes one day, about halfway through my PPL at the moment!
You can do it! Thank you for watching Bryan!
Great video
Sweet looking hotel and meal!! That shower was pretty neat lol. So happy for you that you’re getting to Hawai’i a time or two lately 😎
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.
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...
Cool vid! Love the content! Do u think u could show the cockpit during cruise, just for fun?
That hotel has both the detachable nozzle and the rainshower overheads. Awesome! And the WN 737s sure beat the other airline's 717s for comfort inter-island.
Nice the MAX!
It's awesome!
@@FlyingwithBigErn Brand new too! Thanks for doing this! as somebody said, you are super positive, which is refreshing!
Currently in Pilot training love the videos man!!
Awesome. Hope to see you in the right seat here soon!
My wife and I are flying to Hawaii in July...cant wait
Awesome. I went there a long time ago. I hope I can get back sometime.
wonderful vlog!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos! Maybe one day we’ll meet! Love flying SW!
Great video love it😀
Thank you!!
You are welcome 👍
Thanks for the great video. No hearing protection or high vis vest on the walk around Ern? Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
great vlog so interesting
Awesome video BigErn, following you makes me wish I had chosen flight school over trucking school 😂
Aloha! I live in Oahu. I love all your videos. You have great positive energy. Question? What do you use to get the signals for your iPad and Foreflight when flying the 737?
I use my Stratus 3.
I was hoping to see you earlier this week when I flew on Southwest to/from Phoenix, but I didn’t see you. Some other time maybe. There’s a gate agent in Phoenix named Scott. Before we boarded our flight from PHX to DEN, Scott sang Rocky Mountain High Colorado by John Denver over the PA system. Scott is an awesome singer!
Maybe I will see you one day!! I fly to long Beach 🏖 alot going to Mexico 🇲🇽 alot!! Anyway have fun!! God bless!!
Just asking a question. I noticed you were wearing a cool lanyard in your video today. " I stand by Southwest".
I've checked the Shop Southwest store, but not seeing it. Any ideas where I could get one?
Thanks and love your videos!
Last time I was here, Ern was sitting in the other seat.🎉
The greatest pilots of all time!!!!
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!
My husband is captain for one of the majors. He said that the fourth jump seat on the 737 is the most comfortable seat on the airplane if it gets you home.
@@karenblaine7266 matter of perspective! If it gets me home I’d ride in the lav
@@armyavi8tor Like my husband said, if it gets you home, it’s the most comfortable seat there is. And yes, the lab would do as well.
wish you could show some of the flying it would be more entertaining than just briefs and debriefs
That's not allowed per company rules currently
Lmk when you go to Portland OR trip book I have mile reawards southwest
With that much "gas" on board any extra concerns about climbing out if you lost an engine? Thanks for the excellent videos!
LIVING THE DREAM MAN!!!
Grateful everyday!
Great video. I like the hotel where they put you. What’s the name of it and how far from OGG airport?
"73 is not like an Airbus where you guys have a couch....." 🤣🤣🤣 I didn't dknow there were two jump seats up there. Can you show us in a future episode??? Also how are you getting so many Hawaii turns are those not more senior trips especially out of PHX of all places?
Common Big Ern W
You flew the C5?????? That thing could literally fit a 737 inside and fly it to Hawaii in the cargo bay. Woof.
31.8FOB to Vegas?? The Max fuel burn has to be phenomenal + Maui's main runway isn't the longest. Was your TOD fuel around 8K, I'm guessing? Great content, Ern.
"Back in my day in the C-5, we used of have to hand plot them on a paper chart."
GUILTY! ✋
Do you guys get some kind of crew meals on a flight to Hawaii
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.

Greetings from AthensGreece!
I'm surprised they haven't forced everyone to change the word "cockpit" yet lol😂😂😂 that must have been a tight squeeze in the 737
Hello from 🇨🇦
If possible, could you show us your preflight flows?
Does SWA ETOPS aircraft have HF radio for the over-water routes? Or is the ATC done by satellite?
Not like an Airbus 😂😂 I hope next time I’m Stateside from the U.K. Ernie that you’re flying and (as one ex-RAF to one ex-USAF) I get to join you in the jump seat!
as a student pilot who just passed ground school, I'm looking to get into the airlines in the future at maybe Hawaiian, united, delta, or southwest and I'm thinking of going to the ERAU in Prescott, AZ and going that route, but what do you think of the ATP program I've been seeing adds about and at my local airport. Also what are some tips you wish you should of known as a student pilot to get into the airlines. And lastly what was your choice of school to end up at SWA?
As a result of this video, Erin, I'd to see a video of what do pilots do during long flights, because I notice that they don't look out the windows as much. Why?
The A220 also requires a 3 min cooldown after landing.
Whats your flying background..? do you have any videos just on how you became. a pilot and career and how you chose SWA..?
Do you ever fly east towards Nashville or tampa
I would love to say hi, but I don't get the impression you end up at KCMH very often :)
Can you make what's in my pilot backpack and luggage works?
If it's over 6 hrs flight time, do you need to switch pilot?
Could you brief the approach plates for us instrument students lol?
