- Your Path - Become An Airline Pilot Today: uafly.co/3mWnOpB ... If you want to become an airline pilot, you'll typically spend somewhere from 10-15 nights away from home in hotel rooms each month. Do we pay for the hotel? How do we get to/from the airport? What are the shortest and longest overnights we have? Find out in this video! Join me on an overnight in Traverse City, Michigan after a short flight from Chicago O'Hare. Trust me, not every overnight is this good and I find myself staring at strip mall parking lots more nights than not... So enjoy the good overnights when you have them! Here's what you'll want to know about how airline pilot overnight layovers work.
(Cockpit scenes filmed under Part 91 with approval of Envoy Air, Inc. Current mask-wearing policies were followed at the time of filming. Footage not recorded in chronological order.)

I've found some amazing spots in obscure, small towns. What's your dream overnight location?
Innsbruck, Austria is a stunning airport to approach!! If you stay in the right accommodation in the valley you can get a great view of the tricky landings.
Italy lake Garda amazing area and I wish to go into that lake it looks beautiful and taste that pizza
Was waiting for the next video 🤩
Tokyo Japan
Kickbacks Gastropub is the best restaurant in Jacksonville fl
I'm honestly blown away by the production quality. Clearly a lot of work got put into making this
the video is an ad for American Airlines--not that there is anything wrong with that. but they definitely help edit the videos. CZcams even includes a disclaimer "Paid promotion included" in the beginning of the vids. Still really interesting content though, I love the channel!
step Good point, Envoy Air’s name does get mentioned a lot in these videos. I’m sure a lot of companies wouldn’t be crazy about their employees making videos while doing their job. Unless those videos somehow promote the company
I'm a student pilot hopefully I get there someday
You will! Keep up the hard work
Same here good luck on your journey and I can’t wait to fly with you!!!
Are you off furlough now?
don't worry this hole pandemic thing will be over soon, just keep on grinding
That’s the goal my friend! We’ll get there one day
As a furloughed regional airline pilot in Canada, it makes me happy to see fellow aviators are still up in the skies.
I've travelled for work the last 8 years and I have never thought of using a hanger on the curtains. This has just changed my life.
Yes what WAS he doing there?!?
@@lijohnyoutube101 Keeps the hotel Black Out drapes light proofed. 🖤
Love your vids!
Thanks!
Agreed very informative and entertaining.
I like that Envoy is letting you film some video of the actual flying. Even if those were Repo flights, the editing worked nicely. I think you're doing a great job creating content in the legally controlled space you live in now at the Regionals. Keep it up Mr. Inspiration.
I’m a kid and I want to become I pilot when I grow up thx for inspiring me and hopefully I can make it
Same
Me too it has been a dream of mine for like 8 years and I am 11
@@emilymonteforte8878 just turned 13 last week. I've been trying to learn everything about aviation for the last 2 years ,playing flight simulators and watching CZcams videos about aviation its my biggest dream to become a pilot
Emily Monteforte
I’m also 11 and I know you will become a pilot one day
@riko same I’ve been looking at some many things and playing flight simulators I know you will be a great pilot once you are older
American Airlines flight crews are always smartly dressed and carry themselves in a most professional manner. Pride in one's work is inspiring. Thank you, Swayne, for another awesome video.
I actually live in Traverse City. Crazy that I stumbled across this video. Hope you enjoyed your time here.
I have been following you since you got your private license and have always been inspired to keep pursuing flying by your videos. Thanks for the excellent content that keeps me on track when I start questioning it all. My private checkride is in a few days and I cannot wait to accelerate my career from there!
That's awesome! Good luck on the checkride I'm sure you'll do great
@@SwayneMartinPilotI’m a big fan, how are you not scared of flying?!
I hope airline industry recovers soon, I’m looking forward to join as a cabin crew. The sky will definitely look prettier from above.
Swayne, I’m entering into a flight program soon with an airline and your videos have been more than helpful in explaining the life of airline pilots. It’s really helped me understand what I’ll really be doing and how the balance will work. One thing I know for sure is I’m gonna live at base! Also, props to adding disclosures for which FARs and policies are followed. The FAA never rests on putting your career on hold!
Good vid. Great to see socializing with fellow crew members, not just flying the plane. Thx for sharing.
Very enjoyable! I look forward to the day when you’ll be reporting on your overnights to London and Paris!
I live in TC and I am a huge aviation fan!! So cool to see what goes on behind the scenes with pilots when they fly into a smaller airport such as Traverse City! So glad you enjoy it here
Brilliant, so informative! Safe travels
Haha I saw my house on your van drive in Traverse City! 😂 That’s hysterical. Glad you love TC as much as I do! Maybe you’ll be piloting one of my commuting flights down to ORD some day. I’ll be sure to say hey 👋🏻
Swayne, you truly are an awesome brand ambassador for Envoy and to anyone with aspirations on becoming an airline pilot. Keep up the great work👍🏾
Thanks Kerron
As always, awesome content. Thank you
Awesome video. Super motivated!
Can't wait until I get the opportunity! Currently working on my IFR rating with close to 150 hours total time. Definitely a long ways away but wanted to say thanks for your vids, they're always a nice motivation :)
Me too! Shooting to get my commercial and cfi by July. Where are you flying out of?
Atleast you are somewhere. I'm not even in college yet. Good luckk
@@miss.macaroonqi6209 You have time :)
You’re not gonna get there bud. Aviation industry is gonna take awhile to recover
@@DarkKnight-bi7cr are you involved in the industry?
Lovely, do more day in the life.
Awesome video as always.
Thanks for the great video! Loved the lakefront shots in Traverse.
Not gonna lie: 1:30 shows a shot probably every aspiring pilot is dreaming to be a part of one day.
Flying a jetliner at FL380 with several hundred miles per hour and looking fu**ing awesome doing it!
Keep it up Swayne, all the best for 2021!
FAA be like what was that flight number again? 👀
Swayne is so good I didn't even realize there was paid advertisement! Lol
Envoy saw the potential for a plug lol
Good to see ya having fun mate
As a Traverse City resident and wanting to become a airline pilot, I love seeing your videos when you come! Every time I see a ERJ-145 taking off or landing I always think of you! Keep up the good vids!
Always great content Swayne, you are one of my favorite aviation channels.
Thanks Robert
Thanks, Swayne, this was definitely an interesting video I enjoyed. I've been watching you for many years now. I'm creeping up on my PPL here and I can't wait to be in the airlines one day!
Awesome! You'll never forget the moment you get that PPL
Always great to see your videos, hope you are doing well, keep flying and enjoying.Happy Landings👍
Nice video and good knowing new places
I’ve been at the regionals for a year, and my top overnights are San Diego, Eugene, Missoula, Jackson Hole, and LaGuardia!
Im a pilot going to school in traverse city!! recognized everything in this video
Swayne, I absolutely love the production quality, thoughtfulness, and insights. Thank you!
Glad ur flying! Hooray!
Everytime I think about this, it feels more and more surreal
Im in the navy. I have 1 more year before I get out. I can't wait to start my path to becoming an airline pilot, great videos, truly gives me exactly what my life will be like. So exciting
How is that going? I’m getting out in a year and a half and I’m thinking about doing it too.
Truly, an amazing video . Good job Swayne. I was waiting for the video for a very long time. 👍. I comment in each and every video of yours
Amazing video!! Great editing❤️
Swayne, you don't even imagine how much I enjoyed this this video.
Me too... regards from Cancún
Amazing video 😍
Thank you!
But haven’t even seen the video its just came out lmao ?
@@seanirvine529 just by the intro I can tell it’s going to be amazing.
Great video Swayne.
Another great video Swayne. Thanks for posting it. Always enjoy watching them. Happy New Year!
You deserve 1 million subscribers and u also deserve that pilot seat keep it up
Edit I wana be a pilot when I grow up but I've flown a mooney mko2 rocket love from Mexico you should fly to Mexico City airport and u inspire me to fly

@@SwayneMartinPilot no l understand how busy I are
Awesome video- so informative!!
Great video, love it
i’m living vicariously thought you
me too

Awesome content! Keep em coming!! Happy flights and safe landings...
Great Video Swayne!
This video came up on my recommended and watched it. That’s cool that I had seen that you went to my hometown airport in Sioux Falls. What did you think about Falls Park?
It's awesome! One of my favorite overnights
Traverse City is a real hot vacation spot.
Swayne -- Glad you're flying in my-neck-of-the-woods. Great episode. Wishing you and yours a Blessed 2021!
Your videos are the best!!!
Please do a video on how COVID has or has not effected your career.
A guy I know is now a truck driver before he was a pilot for Envoy but was laid off due to low senority
Keelan Massey that's a stupid comment. Who cares? What about people careers?
FUTURE AIR TRAFFIC CONTOLLER HERE!
Same😁
Having flown for both a regional and working as a controller now, there are definitely a lot of advantages being a controller, especially when you have a family.
Outstanding videography well done!
Great video!!!
Who else got excited when they saw their city as one of Swayne’s favorite overnight destinations
I was surprised to see Sioux Falls come up first. With me being a resident of the city it was awesome to see him enjoy the Falls. Beautiful place and I would recommend visiting there when you’re in Sioux Falls.
Yeah he doesn't know Albany NY lmao
Hah, my city is boring! I would be genuinly surprised if Louisville made it on the list.
I’m attending Utah valley university soon to work on becoming a pilot. Can’t wait to fly the sky’s and see beautiful things across the country and maybe across the world.
Sweet I'm going to USU aviation just north a few hours. Utah is one of the prettiest places to train in my opinion
Sharing my AV geek-ness with my 6 year old! He absolutely loves your videos! Please know you have some future pilots to inspire!
Nice one swayne. Flying is worth the wait despite the long stay overs and finding the best spots. Living out of a bag keeps things simple. Fly only the best aircrafts.
Brilliant video again, your production quality just keeps on rising! Hope to join you in the skies soon, I'm currently in ATPL ground school and really looking forward to flying already!
I'm curious how the next step goes in terms of progression for you. Do they keep you as FO and move you to larger aircraft or do they move you to the left seat next, or do you get the option?
Needs of the airline and seniority
He works for Envoy, which is a separate airline from American. If he’s applies at American then I guess it’s all about where they need him 🤷🏻
@@auggith Envoy has a direct flow through to American. He won’t have to interview again if he doesn’t want to. They own Envoy, PSA and piedmont
Yeah he ain’t going nowhere with Covid. He’s lucky to still have a job.
Nice videos as always Captain ! Just for curiosity, you mentioned in the beginning of the video that cockpit scenes are filmed under part 91, but, part 91 doesn’t refer only to general aviation ? Shouldn’t it be under part 121 ? Just for curiosity, because here in Brazil 91 is just for General Aviation. Have nice and safe flights Swayne, I appreciate your job here from Brazil !
I think it’s because those flights have no passengers in the back, and they’re doing a repo flight...
@@mgtowacademy8433 it would be nice if he could explain this for us...
@@MarceloTrentini maybe he will in future videos. I sure hope he does, it’d be interesting. Cheers
@Jackson Vickers it certainly does, thank you!
@Jackson Vickers Thanks so much, that helps a LOT!
That sunrise was beautiful.
I absolutely love your day in the life video!! It’s so nice to see you living your dream… Hopefully my journey to be a pilot will put me at a major airline one day. Happy skies! ♥️✈️
Do you think UND helped get a airline job after college because sometimes I feel all colleges that have pathway programs are sometimes not that real I hope I’m wrong
I have no personal experience. None.
With that out of the way, the first I heard about UND's program was in the comments section of this VASAviation video czcams.com/video/pTpcctMNMYg/video.html . It's a comment section on the internet, so who knows who is giving opinions and why, but it sounded like they may rush students through. I think I'd want to talk to some pilots, at length, and try to get opinions from folks who went through a program, folks who work with people who went through a program, etc.
I've always heard pilots like talking about flying and calling your local airport FBO might be a good start.
It's a lot of money and a huge commitment, it's worth researching.
Before the pandemic, airlines were coming to the flight schools to recruit, it was hard not to find someone to work for after 1500hrs TT. UND should hire you as an instructor when you’re done with training. If not, there are hundreds of flight schools who will hire you. If you don’t want to instruct, if you look hard enough you can find pipeline, survey, ferry and maybe even right seat in someones business jet/turboprop if you know someone. After 500hrs TT even more doors open. At 1500hrs TT right now cargo is hiring with low minimums in jets like 767/777 like Southern and ATI. A lot of charter/private are hiring right too.
@@idontgotnothin thank you so much for the information that helps a lot
@@setharnold9764 thank you Seth for the information
Haven’t watched it yet, but Ik it’ll be amazing!
Glad to see you flying and making content!
Par excellence! Always a great day when I see a new video from you pop up. Happy new year and thank you for all your effort. Much appreciation.
Can you make a video talking about the math skills you need to fly commercially, as well as real life examples, I'm in high school and i want to know how much math pilots use in the airlines.
He usually only covers experiences you'll encounter as an airline pilot, and I don't think he's done much of the technical side. All I know is that it's a lot of calculus and math you need to know to be an airline pilot, or a pilot in general. It takes a fast brain and a lot of skill and you have to have it mastered before you get your ATPL license.
Hope this helps.
Future air traffic control here! Can’t wait to follow my journey
Thank you Swayne for your videos. They helped make 2020 just more enjoyable. And I learned quite a few things in the process. Best to you in your career. Happiness and peace be yours in 2021. Love also.
I'm from Richmond, VA and I geeked out when I saw you walking over the pipeline on the river. Nice little spot. Awesome video, very well produced. Keep it up.
It’s my dream to fly for an airline. Thank u so much
You'll love it
When you go to Birmingham Alabama you should try out topgolf and rojo
ah yes, Top Golf. Thats definitely a local must-see
Thanks for your videos Swayne! They really help me prepare myself for what to expect! You keep answering all my questions! Working on my CFI now so I’m getting closer!
Awesome! That's the goal
Awesome vid, as usual. Happy New Year and let's be hopeful 2021 returns air travel to a pace which is more normal.
How overnights work: you go to a hotel and sleep. Wow
Really good videos Swayne!
Fantastic video as always.
Thanks Jake!
watched you after ages from the mokulele airlines times and god has your channel grown, keep up the good work, and the quality content :)
Woah! Nice Video! ❤️
Great video like always!!! Keep up the great work
Another great video! We met once at COU and I did some TDY in FSD. Beautiful city.
Thank you Swayne. When I get homesick to be an airline pilot, I watch your videos. Thank you man
Your videos with the music - just perfect
Flew most of my life and watching your video a old dog learns a new trick. Keeping the binds close with a cloth hanger. Most of my flying was in the artic and during the summer its the land of 24 hour sunshine. Its a little late now I am retired living in Florida and never wanting to see ice or snow again. Enjoy your videos and love your professional flying habits keep up the great work habits that's very important..
i just started flying lessons and love your videos, keep it up!
You havent uploded in a wile but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! And you are my favorite airline youTuber. Great video man.
Awesome Video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and share it with us all. :-)
Swayne.... this video is amazing!! That shoot of the camera going from the right side of the pit to the front facing the pilots was beautiful. So glad this video got recommended to me!
Always good info, always good video! Well done Swayne and Happy New Year to you!
Welcome to Michigan, TC is beautiful!
Solid one as usual man! Keep up the good work!
I’m glad you uploaded another video. They make my day better when I’m feeling down so thanks ❤️
Love the video, Swayne. As usual, great flight deck shots. Happy New Year!
Yay, I'm glad you were able to enjoy some time in Michigan (my home state)! We've got SO MUCH more than Traverse City; maybe after this whole pandemic blows over you would be able to take a proper vacation here (anywhere in the UP is brilliant.) My hat's off to you, your fellow pilots, and flight attendants; God speed to all of you, I can only imagine what this year has been like.
