Swayne coming to a 121 near you

That’s what I get for poking my head out of the groundhog hole. Lol. I’ll go back to hibernation

I saw the video pop up on my YouTube suggested videos feed a few days ago but haven’t had any inclination to actually watch it.
 
Wait, wait, when he was sitting at the gate in the cockpit, was that Tom Maxwell in the left seat? I can’t even imagine old school Tom Maxwell dealing with these damned YouTube kids. :bounce:
Ha! Made me watch a minute of that video.
How do you know Tom?
He retired earlier this year, fun dude.

Does this guy have to always get permission to do these videos?
Yeas, each and every video is done with a blessing and supervision and typically for a practical recruitment reason.
 
To be fair,he flew the hell out of it until he decided to point it towards the ground.

my buddy who worked at Horizon at the time said: “god if only we could get another 45 volunteers - we’d finally be rid of that POS!”

he was joking, but also kind of serious - he hated that plane.
 
Good lord how long has Swayne been in the right seat there? 5+years now it feels like.
It is the way
When I got here, most dudes I flew with were FOs for 8+ years, then the direct entry times were upon us. Then those who upgraded <2 years were either stuck in 2 years of reserve, or downgraded. Now, depending on base and equipment, the upgrades are 4-3.5 years. It'll be back to displacing anyone with 1k hrs into the left seat within 6 months if nothing changes. The circle of life.

Man, that kid just can't help being a •. Who the • poses outside the sim after finishing a checkride?!

Edit: I didn't realize that a female genitalia cleansing solution isn't allowed. I did know that • would be sensors.

While Ive never done it for myself (and try to stay away from the camera anyways) Ive taken a few photos with captains who completed their last recurrent. This is one of the least cringe worthy things ole Swayne has "grammed".
 
Go figure, thought he's left.
Bid to 145 CA, could have held 175 if he wanted to in the same base. Somewhat better relative seniority on 145 I guess
