I'm Swayne Martin, and I'm an editor at Boldmethod.
I'm an Embraer 145 First Officer at a large Part 121 Regional Airline in the United States and a former Mokulele Airlines pilot in Hawaii. I hold an Airline Transport Pilot's Certificate along with a Certified Flight Instructor's Certificate (CFII). In addition, I graduated from the University of North Dakota's Aerospace College in 2018 and hold a PIC Type Rating for Cessna Citation Jets (CE-525).
I run a YouTube Channel with over 30 Million views dedicated to inspiring the next generation of pilots. Each video tells a unique story about becoming a professional pilot, starting from my very first solo flight and leading all the way to flying for a major Part 121 Airline. I'm excited to be a part of the movement to revolutionize the way aviation training works. In a modern, technological era, the next generation of pilots should have the opportunity to utilize the best online training methods.
