Becoming A United Airlines Pilot | Your Worldwide Adventure

Your Path to United Airlines: bit.ly/UALPilotApplication ... It's no secret that learning to fly takes immense time, resources, and motivation. I've made it my mission to dive behind the scenes and show what it takes to become an airline pilot. You've seen my career unfold step by step over the past few years, and I hope it's helped kickstart a dream career for many of you! Believe it or not, this is just the beginning...
To accomplish the next step of my mission, I'm excited to announce that I'm joining United Airlines, an airline that shares my passion for supporting aspiring pilots from the very beginning of their careers. I'm starting my United career flying the Boeing 757 and 767; it's a legendary fleet that I've always wanted to fly. I'm humbled to have an opportunity like this so early in my career and can't wait to take you with me. Let me know how I can help and what you want to learn as you start flight training!
United Airlines is growing by hundreds of airplanes, and to fill all of those flight decks we're going to need a lot of pilots. The United Aviate Academy is the only flight training school run by a major carrier in the USA. It's designed to train thousands of pilots, and open the doors of aviation to people from all backgrounds. Simply put, being a pilot is for everyone. Diversifying the flight deck isn't just the right thing to do, it's the best way we can meet the world's demand for new pilots.

Hi Swayne, I’ve been following you since your first videos. It’s been fun watching you grow yo where you are today. Congratulations on the new job. Are you starting over as a first officer at United? You just earned the “left seat” and at Envoy and now it’s back to the “right seat” Either way it’s worth it career wise.

HUGE CONGRATS SWAYNE! I've been watching your content for a couple years now, and this journey has been incredible!!! I ended up switching over to the dark side (helicopters), but seeing this makes me smile from ear to ear for not only you, but also for the opportunity to inspire young aviators! Today I helped out with my first helicopter ride event. I got to see so many young children that had an amazing time riding in helicopters (and some flying) for the first time. I told every single one of them that they can be a pilot one day, and that I genuinely hoped they would! Sharing aviation is the best part of aviation. I can't wait to see what lies ahead for you and your fantastic creative skills that show us the insight into airliner aviation!!!!

Congratulations on your "upgrade" to the big leagues after 10 years, even if it is United (not always my fave to fly). So happy to hear you are getting to fly 757's, that is the one commercial pax plane I would want to fly the most...the power! But this won't last forever, the 75's are getting very old and will be phased out eventually. I am left wondering if the new United gig will restrict what you are able to film and include in your videos - like cockpit footage. Keep up the great work, I am fan! I live vicariously through you.

last friday I got rejected at the last round of applying for pilot school :(, one day I will succeed in following my dream to become a airline pilot

[@williamjohansen8016]

Congratulations, I’m looking forward to see this new journey with you, my own favorite airlines to work for as a pilot, would also be American and United.

Aloha and Congratulations Swayne, my Son has just graduated from high school here on Oahu and is very interested in pursuing a pilot career with United. His Mother is South Pacific Islander and I am a retired airline Captain here in Honolulu. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo, John

I know ATP on the island has a decent program. And if he wants to build flight time, he could start networking with Mokulele Airlines (owned by Southern Airways Express)

Its just fanstastic to see you progress in your career brother! I hadnt got the chance to watch your content for a while and just came on here today and as soon as I saw the 757 thumbnail I was like "Oh hellz yea Swayne has left behind the little Embraer and is flying the rocket 757!" Congratulations and thanks for taking us along for this journey! At this rate you will be 787 Dreamliner Captain flying to Tokyo next year aha!

I am literally in love with United. I live in Europe but I've made it my life goal to fly for United someday. wether it means lots of hard work, and building hours as a CFI, or any other way, Im determined and ready to make it happen. This video is very inspiring, and congratulations on becoming a United pilot, and the fact that you're flying the 757 and 767? You literally hit the jackpot!
