Resonating voice. Nice.

As an airline pilot myself I am happy to live in my base. I have 10 min drive to the airport. Greetings from Europe

Great to see you posting videos again. I followed your videos when you were flying the C208 for FRIENDLY.

Thank you for following. I appreciate your patience, kind words and hopefully, no more long delays in content for the channel.

I just moved in base and have my last commute out to Tulsa next week - loved living there!

[@TheSoaringSamoan]

That’s awesome. Living in base is great. Where will you be based now?

[@CJPanichi343]

Good to see you posting again. Keep at it!

[@TheSoaringSamoan]

Thanks, CJ.

Wow. Good to see you moved up to the big leagues! Congrats!

[@TheSoaringSamoan]

Hey! Thank you. It took a lot of ups and downs but glad to have made it.

I used to live near Dulles. C19 on an international flight? How did that work with having to go through customs?

[@BrentEvjen]

How do you do those map animations? They’re great! Commuting is tough… I try not to think about it..

[@TheSoaringSamoan]

Commuting can be tough. Some of the hardest ones to get on, are right after a red eye. I use an app called Mult…I think.

[@BrentEvjen]

I’ve been commuting for almost 15 years.. 10 more to go. Thanks for the reply!

Would commuting from Mco to Mia be bad. My choices are either narrow body united in Mco or both for AA in Mia. Torn on what airline to pursue

[@TheSoaringSamoan]

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. Honestly, I’ve never really looked into that particular commute. But, I’m sure there are those who probably do. I understand where you are with trying to determine which airline fits best. I approached it by basically finding the airline that I see myself working for, then from there start formulating a plan on how I would get to work, should I choose to commute. That way, no matter how difficult the commute is, I know I’m where I want to be…that eases the stress a little.

Have you had any trouble with filming on the jumpseat? Aka I've been debating posting mine 😅😂😂😂 Loving the content. 😊

[@TheSoaringSamoan]

We do have policies that are in line with regulations when you’re an operating crew member. However, for non revving, I don’t think there is. But I do my best to make sure I don’t show SSI, and pilots faces or identification.

[@FrigidColdFlying]

@TheSoaringSamoan I was thinking that. No tail numbers. No faces 😅 thanks for the info. Love the content 🤩
