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!
