Day in the life of an airline Pilot | 4 legs in a B-737

[@gulfcoastliving3186]

Five hours of flying with four arrivals/departures is “Ernin” your money for sure. Great episode. It’s wonderful to see Vicky thriving in the right seat. Hopefully she will have opportunity for left seat someday. It looks like she has a lot of flying left in her.

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

“A fear of flying hungry”. Haha love that 9:30

[@skyepilotte11]

Thanx Big Ern...nice flights. Vickie is an 19:13 inspiration...right on.

[@jerryconnors8663]

Another great one BigErn!! Thanks for intro to your FO Vickie and her flying background. Keep the videos coming! ✈️

[@boatlover1875]

FO was impressive, great communicator.

[@frankiedee2024]

Vicky , you are amazing!! Ernie, thanks for the video as always!

[@omantoodle2437]

Vicky is a great inspiration

[@zbar739]

Wonderful videos! I love the format of the ATC with the approach and departure charts overlayed. I'm in IFR training right now and this is great as a learning tool for me. Thank you!

[@deppi]

I really enjoy watching your FO interviews. Best part of your videos.. Interesting to hear how different people made it into aviation different ways. Keep up the great work Captain 🙂🙏

[@travismishler9437]

I complete agree.

[@donaldcornwell1151]

Ern, you emit positivity in every video. That's what makes this channel work

[@cesarm1347]

“Dad! a new BigErn video dropped”

[@S.Sheezy]

Nice to see a South Asian at SWA! From another South Asian!

[@unclefreddy2009]

Ok this video was epic and Ern is on his game here. Love seeing fo interviews. My dream is over I think as I’m already in my mid 50s (I’m a pilot but just private/instrument) but I love living through you guys

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

@@unclefreddy2009 Never too late👍🏽. I had someone who was 60 in our newhire class.

[@davidbakerscuba]

I am 52, retiring after 27 years as a police officer and working on my commercial license now. I recently finished the instrument rating. I still have several more years to be a professional pilot. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of big ern. It’s never too late.

[@nathanwildthorn6919]

@BigErn, I was going to make oatmeal, but now I want 2 taco truck tacos and a brrreakfast burrito! Vicki, you _rock!_ 😊

[@HartsfieldSpotting]

LOVE IT!! I've been hoping for a KSAT video from you!

[@Jerseyguy8527]

9:58 good choice..as a former resident of the New York Metro Area, Texas Bagels are NOT BAGELS. It would be like thinking NY BBQ is actually BBQ.. This is one thing I hate about AUS airport..they don't do fast food really..sure keep Salt Lick and a few other locals but they need a Whataburger or McDonald's too.

[@Kam_MD11]

Love the new intro captain. I was lucky enough this weekend to spend some time in a MAX9 cockpit. Those screens are just something else:)

[@michaelmartin1414]

Love the content and would love to see more of the hotels and time between layovers. 🛩️

[@CrooklynPilot]

The taxiway radio calls at those Bravo airport are insanely intimating. Great video to show the IFR routes and transition.

[@tomcarr4630]

Enjoyable as always! Love the new intro. Will keep looking for on my travels.

[@MrKevreg]

Vicki living the American dream. I would be happy to have her as an fo or you as a pilot

[@Arcadiez]

no High viz vest?

[@respighi3]

Yet another fantastic video, Ern. However, Vicky was the star of this one--- what a wonderful bio! Hope I'm on a SWA flight with Ern and/or Vicky one of these days...

[@daveevans2482]

Love the videos and the ever-preset quest for good food on the go. It's a shame for the rest of us in the traveling public that the best food at LAS is from a truck on the tarmac. Just got off a BUR-OAK flight this morning; I always take a peek in the cockpit to see if BigErn will be our pilot. Someday!

[@hjc0706]

wow even the taco truck on the tarmac has airport prices :)

[@ethancalk8809]

I'm from SAT - that Whataburger is super crowded no matter what time of day :)

[@richarddelgado8913]

I'm flying to the Hawaiian Ialands in March and I'm hoping have you as my captain along the way. The possibilities of meeting you would be awesome as well be safe flying out there Captain Ernie!

[@stanwill]

Hello Ern. I really appreciate these videos. I wish i could have afforded to complete my training. I hope one day, SWA will let you show us takeoffs and landings, but I respect their position. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. Keep up the great work.

[@denault3985]

I see we improved the intro graphics, great video as always!

[@stevebaker3550]

Listening to the voice is on the radio our first officers allowed to taxi to the runway or is it straight captain’s only on tax thing and then turning it over to the FO once you’re at the runway

[@Micg51]

Both airlines I’ve worked at captain always taxis FO always talks on the radio on the ground.

[@75876]

Thank for the inspiration and motivation ❤

[@theafter5clubrcgroup]

Love your vlogs! vlogs directly from the pilots themselves is what I like! get to see the real life of a pilot at work!

[@PoweredByChoro]

Don't fly hangry Big Ern! 😂

[@ContactDeparture]

Boy taking Vicki’s advice makes me wanna “Be Like Mike”!!! Outstanding advice!

[@tTenKay]

I got flying just to go eat sometimes too😂

[@johndemerse9172]

Another great video Ern. Going to be in Hawaii for a month in February to Early March and hoping you are the Captain on a short hop from PHNL to PHLI. Cheers from CYYB.

[@USconnectionVA2020]

Ok when I saw new video clips for the intro I got scared but it’s fine because the “going up going up get it down never” song is still there OG fan love your videos and just got my commercial license and you helped me fall in love with with aviation industry thank you keep up the good work!

[@Mlgraham22]

Great advice from your FO, Vicky! Also, your radio voice sounds so different from your KZbin voice. I guess the radio modulation raises everybody’s voice an octave. 😂

[@CTde110]

Shocked that juliet closure at ELP was not briefed.

[@HPfly]

Great new opening! And you kill me about the food truck! It’s there every day except Sundays…just a heads up Big Ern!! 😂

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

@@HPfly Very good point!

[@dhdaniel1]

Houston Center! Cool. great video Ernie

[@gerardemmanueltiongson6470]

My last time I flew from SacTown to San Antonio via Phoenix the first officer was a female. 2021 SacTown to San Antonio via Las Vegas it was an all female flight crew. It never happened during the heydays growing up with Burbank to SacTown. 💛❤️🧡💙❤️🧡💛❤️💙

[@mtk52983]

Love the new intro!

[@PCBill0622]

Ditto-finally got rid of the guy in 3 stripes

[@PCBill0622]

Nice to see the new intro with the 3 stripes gone. Regarding back-taxiing at ELP - might be unusual for you but Alaska 737 pilots do that daily at several airports in the 49th state.

[@ewilson22683]

Loved this one. Thank you! As far as what I want to see: Come to ICT and do a video here!

[@lidacca]

You are awesome as always!!! CONGRATS!!! Good flights always 😊😊😊

[@travismishler9437]

Love the videos, keep them coming. I’d like to see a breakdown of your monthly schedule. Currently flying 135, patiently waiting for you all to start hiring again!

[@BBQSauceman]

@FlyingwithBigErn question. "Taxi into position and hold" was replaced with "Line up and wait"? and if so why?

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Would love to see a SFO to Denver Or SFO to SLC leg in the Future if possible ❤🎉😊 Or a PDX to Cabo leg

[@Thumper43230]

Love the videos. Appreciate the coms and map so I can follow.

[@TB-um1xz]

Did you guys forget to check the Notams?

[@ritchieb1612]

Outstanding video!!!

[@flynomo3148]

Retired. Sitting in the waiting room at Mayo Clinic. Pass on the What-A-Burger was a good forced choice.

[@marksellinger3736]

The video departing LAS must be old....the Tropicana is still there! :-) Safe flying!

[@josephgilson1747]

Always love the videos.

[@AdrianFernandez82006]

@Flyingwithbigern can you please add a video of a leg that includes Albuquerque?

[@Adam_Gray]

My happy sound 🛫!

[@timerwin5646]

Love the new intro.

[@jeff4030]

what radar are you using that has all the airlines on it really nice

[@jamesgardner578]

Yall came into ksat rwy 4 over downtown I watched on flight radar 24

[@Tina2tu]

Love the intro 🎉

[@random1883]

I want those tacos now !

[@ScottCooper-ev7tq]

I am assuming the flight time references are wheels up to wheels down and not taxi and other potenenial delays.

[@mauimason4039]

Like to see you fly in and out of MDW (possibly in the snow).

[@JoshSmith-me7oe]

Hey love your videos keep it up! Do you ever fly to Columbus? They just broke ground for our new airport. Old terminal getting demolished. Super excited to fly out of there.

[@carolynsteed3649]

Enjoyed the video as always.Have a blessed day.❤️💛💙✈️✈️👋😉😎

[@johns8771]

What software / website do you use to animate the air traffic? It's really neat!

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

@@johns8771 FlightRadar24👍🏽

[@davenelson-yd2mv]

do you come east of the Mississippi river use Southwest Airlines out of SDF when I fly to anywhere in Texas or West Coast

[@rickk.667]

I like the live window view of takeoffs and landings, please continue.

[@j.o.p.enforcementagency7931]

Hey Ern!!! Big fan! Had a question? Are you based in the west coast and also have you ever tried Caribou Coffee? its a MN brand but I think you would lke it all my friends that are pilots go all the time!!

[@PETERObrien-b1q]

When are you going to fly the max8

[@julianwang9015]

Have you done all of southwest hubs in one day?

[@chrisc161]

I don’t get it. On the San Antonio leg the FO was flying but she did the ground comms and after takeoff Ben took over. Is that always the procedure?

[@collinphillips9097]

I still want to know what the opening theme is!!

[@glenstuart7823]

I was in SAT over thanksgiving, you better have time to spare if you are going to get food form that airport whataburger

[@Captain_mickey-Mouse]

Ern could u pickup a pwm trip please u need to it would be from bwi nashvile and others please should i take u or breeze to mco from mht

[@CaptainBuzzBee]

Great video. Anyone else copy these days in Flight Simulator?

[@freeoc2]

❤

[@SaturnAstronaut]

I am going to be a pilot for Southwest Airlines 👨🏽‍✈️

[@ljthirtyfiver]

I’m going to say you don’t have what it takes . Not cus I dislike you….but so you can tell people you made it when others said you couldn’t 😂

[@Jammer2001]

Where do you get the maps?

[@HartsfieldSpotting]

Jeppeson Charts and FR24

[@aviationfan2637]

New intro

[@jbreezy101]

How’s the HUD treating you after 2? years?

[@sb859]

Four legs...no thanks!

[@SwingAddict7]

Since Southwest’s stock is failing so significantly, do you think that it may be the first Domestic airline to be nationalized by the U.S. Government as the domestic Airlines in the U.S. start their inevitable failures?

FO, great job but might want to keep the hair shorter and or secured as I have seen woman pilots pull their hair while on the yoke, no beuano.

[@adamrosales3617]

thats a lot of talking

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

Hey buddy! Love your videos, BUT... I would appreciate it if you could be less technical for those like me who aren't pilots.
