Island Hopping In A Regional Jet | Miami To The Bahamas

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

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!

    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!

    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.

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!

    Love Eleuthera, it’s one of the few islands in the Bahamas with 3 commercial airports on it; North Eleuthera, Governors Harbour, and Rock Sound. I flew into there when it was still operated by the ATR, I wasn’t a trip reporter back then so I didn’t get any pictures or videos which sucks, but it was still something I’ll never forget.
