Island Hopping In A Regional Jet | Miami To The Bahamas
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 06. 2024
- Captain Lisa and I had the chance to fly multiple turns to both Nassau and North Eleuthera Island from our hub in Miami. A few years ago, I started my pilot career by island hopping around Hawaii with Mokulele Airlines and it's awesome that I had the chance to experience a taste of that in the Embraer 145. It's some of the most unique flying I occasionally get to do as an airline pilot, so here's how it works!
This flying is extremely different from my "typical" job, which is, in large part, hauling passengers over endless cornfields in the midwest. I'll be producing a video soon about our experience flying into one of our most challenging airports at the airline, North Eleuthera Island. If there's something you want to learn about becoming an airline pilot, shoot me a message on Instagram @swayne.martin or leave me a comment below!

Ur story
Ur so inspirational now I wanna become a pilot when I get older
I'd like to be an AA pilot as well. I'm in high school but in roughly 2 years I will start flight school.
It would be interesting if you do a video on flight schools choosing opportunities to get to the AA company as a whole. Or maybe some kind of video explaining the basics of the E-145.
In general every video you make keep us up!
How to talk as a pilot
I want to be an airline pilot for Alaska and I would love to see a video about you’re story and you’re future plan as an airline pilot
Nice one Swayne! Absolutely love the views I'm seeing in this video! Keep on doing what you're doing!
Captain Joe is here! :) I watch your videos everyday!
Hi joe! I love your cessna checklists!
I love your videos!!
Love your video, and detailed explanations, as a MX I find it funny that C/A always overreact and the F/O is just chill and want to fly
Hey Captain Joe! Love your videos!
Love flying in the Bahamas! Awesome video bud. 👍🏼
Thought about you when I was down there! So cool you spent a lot of time flying around the islands
Hey Steveo good to see you hanging the flight channels!
I've missed regular Swayne Martin uploads. Glad you're back!
I was just about to say the same thing. The video, the music, I needed that. I definitely would welcome more videos - even if it's a repeat of the same thing - it's just nice to escape COVID, even if it's only for ten minutes.
@Jackson Vickers Same, didn't think others besides me did that.
As a Bahamian I never realized how good our country looks until I watch pilot videos 🇧🇸
Nice job, Swayne! I got my Private Pilot's License for 1500$.. back in 1975 of course. I went on to fly C208's, then 757's, then MD11's for FedEx! I ended up retiring at the mandatory age of 65, but now I'm enjoying retirement and really enjoyed this video! Been flying my Piper Archer a bunch over the past few weeks, and it's really nice to see the younger generations getting interested in flying! It takes a lot of money and effort, but to any young person seeing this video, do it at all costs! I didn't come from a high income family when I was young, but I was able to achieve my dream of flying despite that.
Anyone who says that flying is only for the rich, is wrong.
Achieve your dreams at all costs, nothing's stopping you.
Safe landings,
Sid.
Whenever Swayne comes out with a video it’s always a good day! Keep up the great work your such a inspiration!
Thank you!
Damn I remember when this man flew the Cessna caravans in Hawaii, just look at him now the complete definition of never giving up.
Whenever a new video from you pops up - I watch it.
And thats because I loved every single one of them :D
Me to 😊
Hi
Thank you!!
Swayne's videos are the ones where I can watch it once per day, and the 100th time I watch it, it's as entertaining and awe-inspiring as the first. Very great and high-quality content that he uploads. Keep up the amazing and motivating work!
Somebody missed that sand between their toes. Island bug bit ya. Captain Lisa looks like she was as excited as you were. Great team.
Can safely say I have watched Swayne for four years now. Since January
Check out Ryan Huber another great channel. Guys super young and flys a G600 internationally.
Me too. When Swayne was still flying in Florida.
@@mikercflyer7383 yeah. And the videos were about two minutes long
@@joecarless9265 right
I want to be a pilot when I'm older ,you always make me feel happy when you make these awsome videos! Great work
Great video! I want to be a pilot someday, and finding your videos a year ago helped me through quarantine last year and showed me what I was really passionate about!
Love from the Bahamas 🙌🇧🇸💯
You are the only you-tuber that makes me so happy to watch your videos! I want to become an airline pilot when I'm older and when I watch your videos I'm just amazed by how amazing the job is! Thanks Swayne!
Love yout videos! They do really keep myself motivated to face up the day-to-day challenges. When you post, it is just amazing. Keep it up!!
You and Fly With Garrett are by far my two favorite aviation channels! The videos are amazing!
Greetings sir! Really enjoy your videos, very informative and entertaining. FYI, I am now retired from AA, after 25 years of managing primarily RR engine inventory. I initially worked for RR right after college, then joined Eastern in MIA. Eventually went to AA, mostly working at the now defunct AFW mtce base. In my later years, also worked at LAX and JFK. Thoroughly enjoyed my airline experience, along with the constant non-rev travel around the world! Kudos to you and your career now! The videos are great! Cheers!
Just stumbled onto your vlog. I've was a Navy aviator for 23 years and now I fly 91 for a private individual. I love your videos. Your love for flying shows on every video I've seen. Keep the vids coming and keep up the good work. Thanks
Your videos have always been top notch and upbeat, I love your style. Thanks for the amazing content.
Every time I doubt myself about becoming a pilot, I just watch your videos and boy do they inspire
Thanks again Swayne for another great vid. You give a lot of insights to the operations that usually aren’t at the forefront.
Glad to see you back in the cockpit, Swayne. Your videos are of the highest quality.
Great job, Swayne. You manage to capture many interesting perspectives of the world of aviation, which entices passengers to fly, and future aviators to become a part of the industry.
Stunning in-flight images, Swayne! Thanks for producing this and sharing with everyone! Images, score and narration- awesome
Great video Swayne! Wonderful to see a young lad like you living his dream. Safe travels.
That cinematic scene with the music at the start, that hit different :) My dreams in a video.. Amazing.
Glad your back, im 10 months from getting out of the navy, planning on becoming a pilot, I love your videos, very inspirational 😀
Great Video Swayne! Keep'em coming. This one was definitely a needed "lift up"! Appreciate you. Thanks

You’re back! Love these videos man!
I like the kind you are making this videos very much. Thanks for this nice views regarding Miami and the Bahamas!
Loving the videos as always Swayne! Curing my flying cravings whilst in lockdown!
It’s funny, I’m well established in my piloting career. Yet I absolutely enjoy watching these videos! The perspective from someone who is excited and motivated in their career is a semi-rare treat. Keep flying and keep the positive attitude. More than anything else that will carry you to the greatest heights!
To the people who watch these videos and want to see themselves doing the same things someday, have heart and dedication. It will pay off someday.
Swayne this is the first time i'm subbed and got a notif from you, an absolute pleasure to see! Thank you.

Glad to see you back. And I also like the fact that regional jets are perfect selection for island hoping. Not everywhere in the world but still.
One thing I like the most is visual approach with a jet as the only option on this small islands 😛

hey swayne thanks for the videos it pushes me everyday to finish up so i can be a pilot like you
This was quite refreshing to watch. I live in the Caribbean and have been a passenger on the American Eagle ATR's. I do miss seeing them. Looking forward to the next video which focuses on a specific flight into the Bahamas. Great job Swayne.
My man, Swayne. You are doing a great job. Keep it up young man. Thanks for posting the video. Its been a long time since a seen one of your videos. Huge encouragement of obtaining my private pilot license. Still at it. This is Awesome with a Capital "A". Can't wait for the next one. Requesting: More videos of you flying in the Bahamas. Do plan on flying to Nassau, Bahamas in the next two years and taking my little son with me as well.
Been looking forward to a new video for the last 2 months! Awesome video!
Thanks for watching Justin!
