Understood, I was just wondering if there was an updated list due to more scabs. Are you talking about Falcon Air?

Yeah. When I flew for NK I don't recall anyone from actual NK crossing the line. The only ones were the pilots working the Falcon Air flight under flight 2000 something IIRC. Could be wrong about the flight number.

I didn't know there were more than just Spirit back in the day. Thanks for the info.

I just watched his new United hiring propaganda video and I’m convinced United is trolling all of us. That video can’t be serious, his name is under the United Airlines logo on the final shot. Why?? Because he got some SIC experience at envoy and has a YouTube channel? It’s amazing how much support he gets, his videos don’t help anyone. It’s just clips of him flexing to would-be pilots, that’s all.

I could have been a Swayne circa 2005 or so. It would have been about hotel desks and chairs that don't fit together, single ply toilet paper, loud air conditioning that doesn't work, and waiting for vans in the cold. I would have detailed my mostly hate relationship with commuting, my **** tier regional pay, and my divorce. I would have exposed the difficulty in using "Plenty Of Fish" on overnights due to weird hours and delays and how I'd consistently simp for 6s (Jenna I still love you). There'd be at least one shirtless pic in hard overhead lighting with my gut totally sucked into shadow. I would have capitalized on every mistake made by the airline and definitely would have let you know my thoughts on TSA. I would have used a few props like surfboards and guitars to make me look interesting. Surely my intellect would come through in the technical content. It would have been quite good. Sadly I was completely consumed with online dating at the time and hadn't yet discovered Asia, so all my creative energy went to my many profiles. Props to this dude for getting it out there and getting it right. It's not what I would have done but it works for him.

His videos aren’t meant for those who already have a seasoned pair of New Balance shoes and some well worn Rustler jeans. They are meant for aspiring pilots and fans of the industry. Those who wear cell phone belt clips, and comb their hair over should just keep on scrolling when they see his video.
