YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode, Captain Steeeve reads a real letter from 1930, written to co-pilots by an airline operations manager—and it’s absolutely wild. From being told “you’re not here to fly” to being labeled “faithful servants,” the letter is a hilarious (and slightly horrifying) look at how far aviation has come.
Captain Steeeve reacts to the outdated expectations, power dynamics, and brutal honesty that co-pilots faced nearly a century ago. It's part history lesson, part comedy roast, and all Captain Steeeve.
👉 Stick around for Steeeve’s take on what still holds true—and what definitely doesn’t.
If you enjoyed this glimpse into aviation history, leave a comment below with your favorite line from the letter—and how you would’ve responded in 1930.
