Video of your stellar achievements in a Piper Cherokee is equivalent of the old c.v. where pilot applicants mistakenly thought posing against a sports car in a uniform with 4 gold stripes made a good header photo. Most outfits I worked for binned any c.v. that demonstrated too much ego and/or over-conflated achievements.

You will get far more respect if you pay down your debt by producing something of use - aka work.
There is a Jetstar pilot who has one of those YouTube and Insta channels, I’m amazed the company allows it.

I’m no management pilot, however doesn’t sit well with me and would get a tap on the shoulder from myself, or my mob anyway.
