Ready For Your First Day Flying Jets? - Airline IOE

[@SwayneMartinPilot]

While it wasn't easy to get approval for this kind of filming around airline operations (especially in the cockpit), I know how important it is for all of you who are dreaming to become professional pilots to see this view. When I was a young student pilot, I remember how it felt to watch videos about the career I dreamed of.... Simply put, the videos kept me motivated! I want you to walk away from these videos with the same feeling. If you've ever wanted to become an airline pilot, let me know what you want to learn about the career in the comments below. Much more to come soon! Thanks for checking it out guys!

[@Rafael-fh8fz]

is it hard becoming a pilot?

[@UjwalAnurag]

More wind to you man... more wind!

[@nocoaviation8353]

Rekt Gaming lots of hard work and takes time but it is something that you will never regret

[@thegods2622]

I'm guessing the company gotta approve your video to post on KZbin?

[@splitshot7721]

How old do you have to be to get you pilots license

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

WOW!!! Swayne! What an amazing, motivating and inspiring video! Well done my friend! You got me hooked to do a similar video about my experience flying the Boeing 747! Keep it up dear colleague! Its time we meet up for a collaboration!

[@ekkomanhighlights388]

[@itsDKRG]

Captain Joe, please do a collab video with Swayne! It'd be truly AMAZING.

Hey captain joe

[@junkjunebug7228]

YES PLEASEE

[@DUIA77]

First of all I want to give American Airline/Envoy a huge shout out for believing and allowing you to present the important behind the scene of what it takes to be a regional pilot with Envoy. Envoy if you read this please allow Swayne to continue his videos with your airline. They done in a very professional manner and very informative. Based on this past videos that Swayne has showed with Envoy, Im pushing myself to hopefully be a Envoy pilot one day. Thank Swayne for you great videos and thank you Envoy. Hope to see more videos. Ps : huge thanks to the training Captains that allowed the video taping in the cockpit

[@michaelstern1945]

Congratulations it has been a great accomplishment since I first stumbled to your channel a few years ago. Safe travels.

[@ShawnTheDriver]

2:36 That is the most beautiful camera shot I've ever seen. That slow push, steady and stable, right to the window. Absolutely amazing.

[@mikepazzree1340]

I have followed you sporadically for a number of years. I just had an epiphany.... I resented you and I apologize sincerely. You have earned your way into that right seat , by sucking it up , studying diligently and maturing . Like my former profession , your’s ( Aviation) typically eats their young and spits them out. High attrition, burnout , stress , circadian rhythm disturbances leads many to just move into something easier. A great read I highly recommend is “ Squawk 7700 “. A young man went to an Aviation Bachelors program , Freight Dog and eventually ended up in a regional that stuck him in Puerto Rico for his IOE etc. ..... Fortunately for you , your strong vision for your goal has un wavered and you succeeded. I congratulate you Sir on this huge milestone. SFMF

[@Adam-fz2qk]

It's amazing watching you on your journey from a student to a professional pilot. Over 6 years, you documented all of your experiences and it really helps new pilots like me get a feel for the career. I thank you for doing these things and congratulations!

[@gregoverley5349]

Awesome awesome video, Swayne! I bet Envoy will be incorporating this into their training. If not, they should! Great job!

[@austingunn734]

So rad, Swayne! Thanks for these great videos. Literally 30 minutes away from an interview at a local flight school to make this dream a reality!

[@elik1491]

I clicked so fast and I am so excited! Edit: Just finished watching this video and have to say, Swayne, each and every video you upload inspires me a little more. I have a watched you since you began in Hawaii. After that first video, I knew I wanted to be a pilot. Thanks so much Swayne for your videos, looking forward to many more in the future.

[@SwayneMartinPilot]

Thanks Eli! I'm so glad you've been enjoying the videos. My whole goal is to show off how amazing this career can be... So I'm glad it's helping you out.

[@saulegoode7293]

Eli when I found Swayne I didn't want to be a pilot but now after watching him and a few other people I do

[@dpm-jt8rj]

@@SwayneMartinPilot Ah, to be in my 20s again! Fantastic video and I have enjoyed watching your videos. I see you got a shout out from @Captain_Joe, his videos are very good as well. Keep up the good work. I fly AA out of IND frequently and usually fly through ORD, CLT, or DFW. DFW on mainline, CLT on either OH or YX, and ORD on MQ. Keep up the good work.

[@MarionBlair]

Congratulations Swayne, Excellent video Swayne, your video quality and content is excellent.

[@emmettcoutre5191]

This is purely inspirational. I've been following for a long time and I feel that it was just the other day you had your first solo and now your already flying for the Regionals. Thank you for sharing all the experiences so far and in the future as I am a high school Junior and only hope to get into the right hand seat as quick as you. Keep it up!

[@edpippin]

Thank you and Envoy for allowing us to see your new opportunity in the industry. You have worked hard for your dream and educated others along the way.

[@UncypheredRoblox]

I just feel inspired every time I watch one of your videos. When I get older I want to fly Bahamas air and work my way up.

[@johnrn-pilot3083]

Swayne, I just came across your videos and love 'em. I was a CFIIMEI, taught for a Japanese Airline (ANA), then flew for a Delta Connection Carrier for 7 years on the CRJ-700. Loved every minute of it. I lost my medical and changed careers. I can get my medical back now, but it's going to cost me around $20k to jump through the FAA hoops, so I can't afford that at this time. So I can only dream of getting back in the cockpit. I miss it so much (tear rolling down my face now). So watching your videos brings back so many great memories of when I was in your shoes.

[@AviatorInspirations]

Amazing job getting the approval to create this highly useful piece of content! With the shortage, everyone is scrambling at information, and you have put together a perfect price. Keep up the great work helping the next generation of aspiring pilots🤙🏻

[@justinquitadamo]

I've been watching you grow and succeed in the aviation industry for over a year now and I'm sure your parents are proud. Safe flying.

[@bobshaw4063]

You look really sharp in your Pilots uniform . Congratulations on already been released from IOE to be a regular line pilot . I know your family is proud of you & so am I Swayne .

[@donwhitehead4587]

Swayne, I can already tell you are going to be a wonderful Captain. Your serious professionalism is contagious.

[@gerardmoran9560]

Great video Swayne! Good luck with your career. I remember how excited I was when I checked out on the 727 with Delta. I was a Line Check Airman (LCA) not too long after. In the USAF we had our IOE and after that when you checked out as an AC (aircraft commander, same as Captain in the airlines) you went on a 5 or 6 day line mission. This included an ocean crossing and legs "down-range". That meant not to Italy, Spain or the UK but to Egypt, the Mid-East or Sub-Saharan Africa. A long time to have an LCA watching over you. Here's fuel for debate- 125 miles out of ATL we reduced power for a descent from FL350 to FL 240. The left engine shuttered violently and quit. The other pilot was reaching for the mic button to tell ATC and I said let's wait a bit. Sometimes you need help and need to tell ATC right away, not this time. After all it was an idle thrust descent. We ran the checklists, briefed the flight attendants, made a PA a sent an ACARS message to company. That was done as we prepared to level at 240 at which time we announced our malfunction to ATC and declared an emergency. ATC as expected wanted to help and needed the usual info. We calmly replied and could converse without putting them off as we tried to run our checks amid a barrage of calls and inquiries. Weigh in guys and gals! Happy landings.

[@cjcoule]

I start ground training with an American regional tomorrow in the 145, and this video has me absolutely stoked. Thank you for sharing your journey to the airlines with us Swayne!

[@Utahforrest]

You’re a major asset to Envoy and the entire aviation community. Thank you for the effort with this content.

[@trinipilot2246]

Swayne congratulations on making it through training and becoming a line pilot. Thank you for documenting your aviation journey, it has been very inspiring. Getting to see everything step by step has been a real eye opener for me, into understanding the road to becoming a part 121 pilot. Your videos are top notch, awesome views and excellent editing. I'm sure I can speak for all of your viewers in saying, please extend a huge thank you to Envoy for allowing you to record your experience.

[@RockerboiProduction]

Seeing that 140 with the classic AE livery damn bear brought a tear to my eyes when I remember flying to Puerto Rico on the ATR’s they used to have

[@MDFRfiredriver]

You are one of If not the best aviation motivator currently on KZbin Great delivery of your trips your adventure your future goals Great video!

Congratulations Swayne. Your dream just came true. What an amazing accomplishment. I am very proud of you. Welcome to the Big Leagues!!! Cheers, Will

[@voeoxford3554]

Congratulations Swayne Martin..people with passion and committed by the love of work is that they deserve our respect ... I am from Rio..Brazil

[@MarcusLeepapi]

I come from flying on the old DC-10s, 727-200s and 747-400s...I still love the industry and I stay in contact with my cool friend. And yes, I flew mainline flying and finally I was apart of the crew as a Purser Flight Attendant. Purser means Chief Flight Attendant and you going through training to be a Leader. Leading an working with a crew of 14 team members it was crazy. But I did it and I was happy. So, in working with Captions and First Officers you guys are great to work with and yes I have been in the cockpit during crew trips and Jump Seating going home and I have enjoyed flying every single time....Again, fly safe and enjoy!!!!!!

[@timotheus30]

Very proud of you Swayne! I wanna be a pilot myself! Chase those dreams!👍🏾

[@markg7963]

New subscriber here. 33 years of flying, and I like your videos. Great to see a fresh young perspective and your positive attitude is awesome!

[@bogeypilot2210]

I have been watching you grow for sometime now and am very excited for you. You have accomplished so much and have a lot to be proud of. Congratulations. Please keep sharing.

[@HEDGE1011]

Congrats Swayne! You have a great career ahead of you, and if I'm guessing right you'll find yourself at mainline in no time. A comment from a different perspective: I've flown nine types in my career so have been to the sim and done IOE/OE more than a bit. I've also been a sim instructor and a Line Check Airman doing IOE and line checks. I can honestly tell you that conducting IOE is the hardest and most rewarding job I've ever done in airline flying. Most people are like you: eager and highly motivated, and are a pleasure to work with. Some take to the new aircraft naturally, but some have to work harder to get signed off than others. You have no idea how satisfying it is to see any IOE pilot succeed (but especially those who initially struggle). It's a wonderful feeling to park the aircraft on the last flight (the line check), do the checklist, and shake their hand and welcome them to the airline. The same goes for people checking out for their first time as a Captain. It's a huge day for them, and I was always honored to be part of it. Best regards and fly safe!

[@thegreatermind]

Hey Swayne, I've been following your progress for a while now on your channel. It's been so exciting watching your progression from over-wing views of flights where you're a passenger; to flying and learning on single engine trainers; to flying for Mokuele; to now flying for a prestigious regional airline. You should be so proud of what you've accomplished over these few years. Thank you so much for bringing us along for the ride with you. Looking forward to the day when you're flying wide-bodies inter-continentally and still sharing your passion for flying with your audience. Thank you!

[@thomaschadwick1557]

So weird to see You in Envoy uniform... But Your dream comes true! Congratulations and many, many miles on the skies!

[@skylord58]

Congratulations Swayne! While I've been a pilot for ages, my career path took me into air traffic control at LA Center and SoCal TRACON. I was forced into retirement due to old age (56), but now I'm picking up my flying again. This was an excellent video, and parallels ATC training, with the stress, anxiety, and sense of relief (and for me, disbelief) that here I was doing a dream job and getting paid for it. Hit me up if you are out this way, I'll set you up for a tour at SCT. That goes for the rest of the pilots here too. If ATC gives you a hard time, tell them Radar Queen (it's a long story) said to knock it off.

[@031films8]

3:19 - For those who are wondering what RVSM is - it's "reduced vertical separation minima" which is basically what it sounds like - reduced vertical separation of aircraft

[@ADuckOnQuack97]

031 Films can you explain to me why?

[@031films8]

@@ADuckOnQuack97 To increase the capacity of the airspace.

[@ADuckOnQuack97]

031 Films actually, it’s when the IFR traffic switches from the 1000’ separation to 2000’ deprecation due to the density of the air above certain flight levels

I don't give many thumbs up, but this video deserves a million. Anyone who who hit the 👎 is truly envious. Great job

Stunning video. Super informative and well thought out! So happy to have provided footage for you! Can’t wait for more films like this.

[@richietv1554]

Thank you so much for posting these kinds of videos. I am currently attending Texas State Technical College in Waco, Texas for Aircraft Pilot Training. I am weeks away from taking my Commercial SEL initial checkride, and then Comm Multi shortly after that. I have been watching your videos since the beginning and you have motivated and pushed me through my path to achieve my dream of being a Captain flying international routes with American. I basically have tried to follow your path and go to Mokulele Airlines and then eventually go to Envoy. But I decided to give back to the youth of the aviation community and have scheduled my CFI CFII flight course with American Flyers in Addison, Texas, then teach back at Texas State Technical College as a CFI. I actually just passed my FOI written! I was invited to interview with Envoy about 3 months ago. I received a hotel room and then an initial interview with my private instrument SEL for the cadet position, the next day but then was informed that I was not supposed to be invited to the interview until I had my Commercial Multi checkride completed. The recruiter then ordered me an Uber back to the hotel to grab my belongings and drive back to Waco. But man, I have been truly inspired form the beginning by your videos and tried to start my own youtube channel but it is obviously not as followed as your channel. I would be greatly honored and would love to talk to you about your experience with Envoy so far, If you would like, can you please email me @ [e-mail] to get in touch. Thank you very much.
