A Quick Turn In The 737

[@nightdesigns395]

Now that you are Captain Ernie, can we hear you do the passenger announcements?

[@JG-bi3he]

I 👍 agree

[@Captnoatp]

What a great ambassador for Southwest. Congrats with the left seat👍

[@pamelastrickland7967]

Retired (OJI) CAL FA here (who still misses it every...single....day). Just wanted to say that flying with a front end crew like you guys could make the WORST trip the absolute best. Keep that attitude going and be safe up there!

[@notboeingnotgoing5483]

17yrs on the left seat for me w/ the Brown uniform freight guys and I syill havent been told where the cool pilots hang out....and we make our own coffee on board, so i got that going for me😁...congrats Captain Ern

[@keithhudson8205]

Congrats Captain! F/O is awesome. You 2 guys could take " the fear of flying " out of anyone.

[@davidhood2200]

That fourth stripe really suits you!!! Congratulations on making Captain.

[@beebeesfuntasticadventures6110]

That's for sure.

[@siop921]

Congrats Big Ern. Shout out to Mark. Love seeing 2 Copperheads flying together.

[@josephineahelle5094]

[@JohnPrivette-t9x]

Big Ernie, congratulations on the upgrade to Captain. It’s so cool that you get to fly with Mark. Thank you both for your USAF service. Both of you are are in the top five of pilots I’ve flown with. Keep up the good work.

[@JohnPFoleyII]

My wife and I enjoyed your videos very much ! Congratulations 👏🎉 on receiving your captains bar's . I'm a private pilot that shares your passion for aviation . Thank you for your videos !

[@scottturner891]

It’s awesome seeing you in the left hand seat bud!!!! Love it.

[@carolynsteed3649]

I lived on Guam for several yrs while my dad was stationed around Andersen AFB.

[@RodUKPIC]

Congratulations on your move to the left seat. Blue skies and fair winds.

[@JasonB95]

Love to see great vibes between pilots in the cockpit. I can totally see why he and Ernie are friends. They both emit that same great energy. Thanks for sharing Big Ern!

[@gervanwilliams1409]

Man, your humility is so amazing to witness. Professional work. I enjoy these

[@randyschaub5452]

[@turbopiloto]

[@대한민국-t2b]

Congrats! Left seat! Captain upgrade!

[@patrickstack5185]

See??? I told you you'd make a great Captain. That fourth stripe looks so good, you oughta take a pay cut just to be seen wearing it. Remember all those years in the wrong seat, if you were a little behind it was "where the heck is the darned F.O. Now if you're a little late it's "we are now awaiting the arrival of the Captain." Thanks for all of the great videos.

[@gurukn]

4 Stripes at long last!! Massive congrats Captain!

[@DG38594]

You look great in the Captains seat! Congratulations!!

[@ssbthekidnextdoor6713]

Wow I just love seeing Ernie in the left seat. Ernie I am so proud of you man good job congratulations and continue to make us proud. I’m actually an airline pilot in the making I’m currently in flight school doing my training. 🎉🎉🎉🎉😎😎😎😎👀👀👀👀

[@paulm2861]

You guys are great. Love these videos. Did my CPL 23 years ago, but ended up in a different industry. Living through you fine folks.

[@LuxPlanes]

those 4 stripes look great on you! love the videos :)

[@dougaphs]

Thought you got lost..congrats again on moving into the left seat. Quite an accomplishment but hard work does pay off! Safe travels.

[@jerryprice6521]

Fantastic to see that camaraderie between my Air Force brothers! Thats the thing I miss the most after retiring from the Air Force.

[@terrymckone9616]

As many others comment, you are truly someone who makes the fear of flying in this day and age more palatable. You are such an inspiration both professionally and what is a class act personality. Thanks for sharing your career as a pilot. I am a 61-year-old man who wishes every day he would’ve chosen that path to being a commercial pilot because I love aviation. I get to live vicariously through your videos, please keep recording.

[@jesse00pno]

Boy, those 4 stripes look SO good! That one extra stripe sure does look good!! So happy for you! You deserve it! Congratulations!!!

[@saadn.3348]

Congratulations!!!

[@piersslinger174]

[@Razorback68]

Awesome that you get to fly with one of your fellow bluesuiter from back in the day!! My wife was a DODDS teacher at GK for a very long time!! I was a counter weather forecaster at Bitburg and worked at a weather central in Traben-Trarbach both in Germany!! Beautiful area for sure!! Thanks for letting us ride along!!

[@mapp4751]

[@inboxvlogs2022]

@@FlyingwithBigErn hello Sir, Good day, my name is Victor and I am 36 years old. I Reside In Canada,married with kids. Since my childhood I have passion to become a pilot,but due to some financial reasons, my family could not make my dream come true then. Now I want to start flight training by getting my PPL after which I will proceed to getting my CPL. I want to know if it is late to pursue my aviation career as I am 36 years now and will be 37 years by next year April. Please I need your advice sir.

[@saulpilot]

[@flynomo3148]

One of my best friends on the 787 called me and said, Pick up the HNL and we’ll fly together!! Don’t hesitate!!” I did. Couldn’t believe we were going to finally get to fly together. So excited. Showed up and….no friend around anywhere 😝

[@johnhenninger1980]

yeah, same as they say about pro golfers: '' cab pulled up and nobody got out''.

[@mrkc10]

Another cool video. Yes favorite TDY 🤔 Always good to reminisce.

[@SSAviation737]

Once again, Ernie, splended video! Those 4 stripes look awesome! Could you please show us your preflight to show us what the captain does during preflight instead of the FO?

[@beebeesfuntasticadventures6110]

Fantastic question, I was wondering the same thing, I hope he has the time to answer it.

[@CaptBesweri]

Congratulations Captain and all the best

[@jamescollier3]
