Cool Skywest YouTube Video

[DE727UPS]

Anybody know the guy?

[meritflyer]

That is a pretty cool video.

[pilot602]

They show it at the interview ... I do know that.


I thought it was one of "Cheechako's" but I dunno ...

[GaTechKid]

They showed a different video at my interview.

[Captain_Bob]

I thought he took it off his website because he didn't want it floating around the internet so much... I guess it's OK, if they are using it at the Interview now.

Anyway... True story. I would watch this video any time I felt close to getting burned out instructing. I would also show it to my students right before a checkride to pump them up!

Great job... and thanks again Chris!

[JaceTheAce]

Didn't he not want that video floating around?

[Doug Taylor]

Ahh rumor has it he left the company for another company, thus decreasing his liability like 100%

[Ophir]

Yeah, but we spoke about this video two weeks ago and there has been someone who has turned it in to the FAA. I have emailed the guy who has it up to take it down. Most likely nothing will come of it but it has landed on the desk of the operations people at SKYW. It should be taken down!

Remember back in Elementary school, when there were kids that wouldn't share and wouldn't play fair on the playground?

Well, they're all grown up now...at least size-wize. I avoid people like that as if they were wake turbulence, because they seem to create a lot of it, socially.

People are bitches these days, luckily, if your liked at SKYW, they turn a blind eye to these things. Either way, he wants it down.

[Hacker15e]

What would the FAA care about the video?

[TXaviator]

It's an extremely well-done video, and it made me really want to work for SkyWest when it was posted a while ago. There's things in it that people with no life in the FAA could probably get really nitpicky about in it, which is unfortunate, but I'd guess that's why its creator wants it down.

Yea...I hate those people. They think that in their mind they're doing the right thing,protecting others and just following the rules...

[Hacker15e]

Again, WHAT on the video would the FAA give a rip about?

Can't say. But trust me, the people in the high ups are protecting our video producer. Thankfully.

I'd be a violation of the sterile cockpit concept.

Of which, I do not agree with. . . especially if it is coming from a crewmember.

Probably a violation of the sterile cockpit rules I presume.

The FAA is very weird when it comes to commercial operations. There are things that you can get away with as a private pilot that they'd snap up your ticket for if you're flying in commercial operations.

Case in point:

English.

The rule is 'read, speak and understand' English.

But if your foreign/ESL commercial student doesn't have the ability to understand and follow a non-standard English command from ATC the first time, he doesn't have "ATP/Commercial Quality English" and by signing his 8710 form you can be held in violation and have your certificate suspended.

It's not written anywhere, but when you're sitting in front of four inspectors in a conference room at the FAA HQ in Oklahoma City state this and threaten to do so, it's a little hard to build a case.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.

If you're going to do something similar, be VERY CAREFUL. The ACI for your 121/135 operator might be on a fishing expedition.

If the person in the video is a JC member, it would be best to delete this thread. Will somebody that knows, for sure, please say so or PM me?

[triplec76]

Sorry about my last post, Doug. I didn't realize what was going on here. At least it's a testament to his video skills that I didn't forget him!
