MAX'd Out Weather in the 737 MAX

[@jjsifo1]

This is turning out to be one of the best aviation channels, I'm a retired maritime patrol Pilot and I can tell you are a great asset to your Airline.

[@clearlycaribbeanreb7176]

I fly southwest all the time and always stuck my head into the cockpit looking for Big Ern 👍

[@clearlycaribbeanreb7176]

Ern, Columbus Glenn CMH is my home airport and SW and a decent presence here. You ever make it this far East from Sky Harbor?

[@flaps4038]

Me too I do the same!

[@MHortonIII]

Thank you for these vlogs! Becoming an airline pilot has been a dream of mine since I was in middle school. I left the military, I’m 27 years old and just starting school and when school gets frustrating I come to your videos for inspiration….so THANK YOU 🙏🏾 these videos make a difference.

[@alrcfn80]

Big Ern, I was a fueler and in inclimate weather I always gave an extra 1,500 lbs so you would have takeoff fuel when departing. In SNA, the first flight of the day always got extra fuel. Always got a thank you from the flight crew for looking out for them. 🙂

[@albertomoreno993]

Captain Mike seems cool and easy going guy, and interaction between you two. Happy flying!

[@kevincole2484]

I’m starting flight lessons for my PPL on January 31st at KSUS… you’ve been a huge inspiration to me!! Hopefully I’ll be your FO in a few years

[@brendand7948]

Wow small world! I’m doing my Solo portion of my PPL at KSUS. It’s amazing man you’ll have a great time. See ya in the skies soon

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

I’d be honored!👍🏽. Congrats!

[@RomansFiveDotEight]

Hey! Where did you do your training at Spirit? How did it go, by the way?

[@kevincole2484]

@@RomansFiveDotEight Howdy! I did my PPL Training at Elite Aviation. Can't recommend them enough, phenomenal flight school with well-maintained C172's. I passed my checkride in August and have 110 hours now! Currently working on my Instrument rating at KCPS at the moment

[@RomansFiveDotEight]

@@kevincole2484 Cool! Did you have any interactions with ATP while you were there? I see their airplanes out quite a bit.

[@willhyde3]

My favorite youtuber by a long shot! Thanks for all the great vids ern!

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Appreciate that👍🏽

[@bradyeverett9225]

Huge Tesla fan, huge aviation fan, huge America fan. Ur one of my favourite channels at this point. Super cool dude. Thanks for sharing your life with us, it's an inspiration.

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Much appreciated!

[@dinostudios6579]

Enjoy your Tesla! My family has a 2012 Tesla Model S which still runs great. Such a good car. Some advice I have is to set the battery not to charge fully if you don’t need it. We have ours set to charge to 50% because we don’t normally need more than that. It helps increase battery longevity. So if all you do most of the time is just take it to the airport or just around your local area you can set it to charge to a lower setting and charge it to full whenever you need to drive longer distances.

[@toro8star]

Thank you for your time and explaining the fly procedures!!! I'm glad you survived the cold Denver temperatures!!!😁😁 De-iceing a plane is interesting procedure. It never snows here in south Florida!!!

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

And that’s why I love Florida👍🏽

[@mateeenkhalatbari2664]

Ive watched alot of pilot perspective videos and this was one of the best POVs ever. the things you show are so sick but you do it so casually.

[@mateeenkhalatbari2664]

Its like im on FaceTime or somthing

[@hellfighter4135]

Great video as always! Just flew the MAX for the first time recently from HOU to MDW. Nice plane! Seemed much quieter than the 700 series.

[@1derol]

Thank you for the "Jumpseat Pass" as always. Sounds like hiring is going well and air travel is revving up again.

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Thanks Tony! Yup hot and heavy on the hiring front. Let’s pray it continues🙏🏽

[@MadeInNewYork73]

SO GLAD TO FIND U! Buffalo girl in Colorado...and a Tesla, too! Great find. New sub 😃 Yep..get MAX's out of both DEN & Colo Spgs 🙂🙂🙂😘

[@CanuckFlyer]

Excellent video. PHX is a nice airport. Sam's Diner on the south side is always great for quick-turn lunches.

[@viktorbarkovski2226]

Good to see you again Big Ern! Little update, I have 5.1 hours under the belt and I made my first landing! It was rough with a bounce but we made it! (Rip landing gear) definitely having fun and learning a lot!! Any study tips from the pro?

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Awesome!!! Congrats! Keep learning my friend. We all were in your shoes. Keep up the great work👍🏽

[@julianserna393]

best videos on youtube man! I am always looking forward to your videos! Cheers from Lubbock (KLBB) and also comgrats on your new TESLA

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Thank you Julian! Another great SWA city!

[@Cali_909]

I just love the cockpit perspective you give. No other channels do this. Thank you so much!!! 😊

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eddiepaez605]

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

That plane you were on, I flew it’s first flight out of storage…almost a year to the day prior to this video.

"Anyways this is not a car 🚘channel this is a flying channel so hey lets get to work!" **cuts to airplane** that was funny. Nice video LOVVVVE the SWA MAX!

Great video as usual, really enjoy your dedication , Thank You

[@AaronHarberg]

Actually flying on Alaska to Orlando MCO in July on a MAX 9! It’ll be the first time for me.

[@geno8154]

Hey Ernie! Stumbled across your channel and can't get enough. It's so entriguing to me(non pilot) to watch all the hard work that goes into commercial flying. You make it look easy. Do you fly into LAX?

[@blessedmom3599]

Hey! I don’t understand everything you are saying but I’m enjoying listening and watching!! Godspeed!!

[@poker_18rs92]

I love how the 737 MAX 8 & 9's look... I went out and did some plane spotting today at SNA. They were doing reverse operations because of the strong winds.

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

That’s a great airport for plane spotting👍🏽

[@PhilipAlonzo]

Big ern dawg whats up luv the videos

[@JG-bi3he]

You made flying with Southwest even more exciting now😊✈️

[@TB-um1xz]

I always wondered why the 73 has the Hud. On the 747, we don't have a hud, but we still do CAT III approaches.

[@MrGyngve]

Yeah, but you do CATIIIA, B or C? The HUD makes the difference between a 0-RVR 50ft DH minima and a 0-0 (if I am not mistaken) for a two AP aircraft (and you have three!). But of course if your SOP (OM) is to be more strict and considering the fact that you rarely need that low of a minima, I would bet that the HUD is money spent not for the sake of increased chances of landing, but for safety..? I know that a LCC like Ryanair has left them out as they dont see the cost/benefit of having them. EDIT: The 737 also has a fail operational vs fail passive autoland-system. I figured the 747 is much like the 767 in that if you lose one of the three, you revert to CATII, and divert if that happened prior to entering 1000ft AGL.

[@TB-um1xz]

@@MrGyngve we can do cat 3 degraded before going to cat 2.

[@blessedmom3599]

You are talking about NC RDU weather. Coat in the am not in the afternoon. We were at work taking selfies in the Sunrise and it’s snowing an hour later. Lol

[@ItsCoreyLynxxYall]

The paint looks fresh. It hasn't been in service long.

[@notboeingnotgoing5483]

Great to see all of the 73 Max' back at it, shocked that Allegiant is getting them. As you can tell from my handle I dont fly aircraft that "have tray tables"...always good to see more Boeing AC in use. From all of us on the 74-8's from Big Brown "safe flying"....nice car, that Tesla rental paid off

[@Micslmn]

Best car you’ll ever own, I love it. Congrats again and welcome to the Tesla family!

[@samdogsam11]

the weather in denver seems like a summer day. where i live we had a month from the middle of december to basically the middle of Jan of -31 Fahrenheit. always enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work.

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Wow! I wouldn’t survive there😁

[@rrrrrrtt1]

Cool video, Big Ern!!!

[@scottjacobs1072]

Ernie Congratulations on the Tesla Model 3. I see you still have your garage door opener. Just program Homelink on your car and you don’t need it anymore. You can also program garage door to open automatically when you arrive at driveway …. As well as close Which model 3 did you get? In any case the smooth fast acceleration never gets old. No more fuel stations. Enjoy!!!!!

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Thanks Scott! Yes I need to do that. Such a rookie but I’m learning👍🏽. I got the dual motor.

Great video as usual. Question, noticed that when you did the initial walk around in PHX, it looked like the landing lights and beacon were on? If so, why?

[@jamesgardner578]

Gotta have them on to check if they work I’d assume

It's Southwest's procedure, you check to see if the lights are working.

I think they’re all the same. Just not 100% sure though. Good question👍🏽

@@FlyingwithBigErn so the Max 8 and 737-800 have 32 inches of pitch vs 31 inches used on your 737-700s according to your airline's website.

they are similar. only that the max is inherently unstable and should have been scrapped. Death trap. One computer error away from the plane flying itself into the ground.

I don't know all that much about Teslas, but I will pass on the following: the HOA for my townhouse community does not allow Teslas to be charged inside the garage. Charging stations have to be mounted outside on the driveway because of the risk of fire while charging. Though the risk is small, fire has been known to occur, and there would be nothing worse than having your beautiful home go up in flames.
