- My airline just set us up with a sweet new application that helps us navigate turbulence to make the flight even more enjoyable for everyone riding along with us.
Hope you all enjoy it. Cheers!

WAKE UP YALL ERNIE UPLOADED
Loved seeing Eugene! A lot of my family lives there and I have taken that very same flight (Eugene to Oakland) a bunch of times. Really enjoy coming along on your travels; thanks for posting.
Best pilot content on CZcams. Keep up the good work Big Ern.
Hello Captain. Always great to see one of your videos.
Looks like Em is a foodie! Liking the time-lapse...
Didn't know Southwest flew to Eugene, thought the city was Alaska/Horzion territory.
All of the big 3 fly into EUG. United I believe went all mainline from
Express this year.
Nice Tool 👍 Thanks for showing!
Had to chuckle Ern, when I started in early '80s flying sideways on 727 Northwest O. had a WX system thru our MET department where we would physically chart Turbulence Plot on custom charts ("TP PLOTS") and we would be routed around chop. It got so when we'd request a deviation other flights from other airlines, knowing we had system would follow us around the chop but they did not have the plots since only NWO had the custom charts. We were a 'smooth' operation back then and was awesome avoiding mountain wave and clear air chop. When NWA was aquired by DAL one of the components was NWA's MET section was a specific part of the items aquired because of it's tribal knowledge on getting a smooth ride. See you around DVT
That’s awesome! The 72 is a beast!
Are you still using paper flight plans? Paper ATIS? That's a lot of paper getting used every day throughout the network.
We have it all on ipad, even Electronic LID, and currently in trial is Electronic techlog. This will help since maintenance/operation can read it and plan ahead, same for the next crew taking over the flight. This reduces delays and AOGs.
We're almost fully paperless.
I'd imagine SW would modernize some of their operations/system.
I've never been to Oregon, but would LOVE to go someday!
There is so much here in the PNW to see. Flying thru the Columbia Gorge is amazing! Volcanos to fly around. Coast, mountains, desert! All here!
I love Thai food. Lived on it for a very long time. I chose to raise my children in Thailand, so I know authentic Thai food choices. Currently preparing for the part 107 and from there I am choosing to go for a private pilot’s certificate with an IFR rating. Thank you and others whom I follow for the positive aviation posts. They fire me up! Amen.
Just got to AZ and doing my pilot training with my friend down in Chandler, I’m so excited for my ppl
I landed at Eugene, Oregon a decade ago on the way to visit a friend... all I remember - aside from the friend experience - are the TREES... as in, all but "in your car with you". always enjoy your videos, captain
Turbulence? Well, I am that evil SWA passenger who likes to sing "Shake, Rattle, and Roll." It's just one song on my turbulence playlist.
Thanks Ern! Didn't expect to see you in Duck country. Great stuff
Love your videos! Does SWA keep you in the western half of the U.S. because you’re based in Phoenix? I haven’t watched any videos of yours where you have flown east of Dallas. Is that by design so you can keep a normal off time schedule?
Your awesome dude keep up the videos
Another great vlogg Big Ern!!!
I never get tired watching u. I love the way u explain everything from turbulence to the walk around. Take care😊✈
So cool to see you in my home town Eugene! You got lucky with the weather that day. Thx for the great vids.
Grew up at EUG! Great place! #PNW
Glad to hear you enjoyed the PNW. Hope you get a chance to fly up to KBLI before the company pulls out of our airport up here in Bellingham WA.
Hello Captain!
Will you make a flight video with Mikita Radzivon sometime?
Ernie U of O is my Alma Madre and Eugene is a great place to par-take in great food and micro brews. ENJOY !
Love the videos as usual Ern
Love the vids man! Keep up the good work and safe travels man ❤️
allways fantastic
Great vids Captain.😁
Enjoyed your video as always very informative!
Just listened to your Pilot to Pilot podcast interview, you have a very interesting story! Welcome to my home state!
Amazing technology. Always love your videos.
Hi Ern! Long-time subscriber and fellow Thai-American.
That app will come in handy for Denver flights lol
Big Ern representing my hometown PHX
Love us some Thai food, always nice to have one's wife come to work and drive us home🥰
It looks like Southwest's 737-MAXs are all othe west coast and Hawaii routes. I fly Southwest from MDW to the east and south a lot, and I often fly on an old 737-700😂
Go Ducks! 💚💛🇹🇭 I've been to EUG plenty as a student and CFI but never inside the terminal 😂
Hi Ern. I'm a young student pilot about to finish my PPL, and planning to go to college for aviation. Enjoy watching your videos. I believe with enough hard work I can make my dream of becoming an airline pilot a reality. Sometimes it's hard and worrying seeing people be so negative about the aviation industry, for example, people talking about how there's a slow down in hiring FO's at the regionals and some of the delivery issues at Boeing. I am just getting started, but can't wait to see what opportunities are ahead. With all that being said, in your opinion, do you think it's still a great time to become a pilot? I'm asking because I remember my uncle talking about how it was pretty hard back in the day, because the airlines were saturated with ex-military pilots.
In 18 days I will be getting on a southwest airplane to go my grandmas in Arkansas
2:59 What's that hose attached to the underbelly, is that for the wastewater?
I just flew with Southwest to and from Las Vegas - Indianapolis on MAX 8 aircraft. To me as a passenger the aircraft seemed louder but smoother than the 700/800 series. The engines made more noise I feel. Any thoughts on this? How do pilots feel about the MAX compared to previous generation aircraft? The landings also feel harder rougher and louder on the MAX to me. Thanks, love seeing your perspective as I used to be an A&P mechanic.
ever use Navigraph BigErn?
Olá capitão like parabéns brazil
That App or program is actually very cool. Is it available for just the everyday pilot? Could I get it on my iPad right now?
Can you please have a flight to HNL and come fly with me I am a student pilot and it would be an honor to fly with you. Thanks for the inspiration to keep going.
Nice , not fond of turbulence , but I love to fly ❤
Big Ern you should wear earplugs on the ramp you don’t want to end up deaf at the end of your career a humble advice from a ramp guy.
Airline pilot life
Can't find any good Thai these days. In 75068 area
How come you been to almost every east coast city flying except Baltimore
👏
Very nice place!
1:33 passenger cabin lighting looks kind of freaky because you sped up the video lol
The main.thing about being a pilot is the love, passion, of the job. If its all ego, pride, provimg a point dont even bother. You have to love the flying. Another reality is not everyone has heathly and suppprtong parents. Some people have free rides, people grandfathered on. If your middle class non military you will have a difficult time in regards to flight training. Not everyone can do it unfoutnately. I would like to see a fair portion of middlr class citizens to do this wlrk. Aviation caters to rich and elite. A stereotype that I would l like to change. If God would or the Universe wants you there then you will be there. Pilots who had to work the hardesr deserve to be there vs free hands out from ungrateful people.
I'm like #198 which one are you????
