Somehow soothing to watch this video while sitting on the seemingly endless wait for a regional class date. Can't wait to start.

Regionals have 3 day trips now! That's awesome. I could only ever get 4 days, or 2 day back to backs

Another great vid. These are very motivating as a student pilot. Hopefully you can post more of these in the future :)

There was a video I saw (of this style) before I committed to aviation. It was very motivating and inspiring. It helped me push through the rough patches of training. If this helps one person stay motivated, then the video was worth making. Thank you for the kind comment, and I hope to see you in the skies soon!

Lots of video of the floor. Safe flying.

I'll do better on the next one. I don't like being obvious with recording around people.

I’m a little over 60. When I was a kid and you flew these routes, you would have been a pilot for both Southern Airlines and Piedmont Airlines.

So it was four days right? Day one was a commute on WN and a hotel stay on your dime? How many days off before the next trip? Was this trip over a weekend or did you have to commute on a weekend? How long was your rest at each hotel? Cool vids, man.

@FlyByGarrett 5 ай бұрын

The actual work trip was 3 days. First day was getting into position. So yeah, for the video it was total 4 days. But my assignment was 3 🙂

@cloudstreets1396 5 ай бұрын

@@FlyByGarrett glad you got into position. So cool.

@southwest82 5 ай бұрын

Love this video. Those po boys in Shreveport look mighty tasty. My only question is how long is a typical Duty day at a regional? Just trying to compare that to a normal work schedule.

@FlyByGarrett 5 ай бұрын

I'm looking at my schedule now for next month, it varies per day, bit you're looking at around 8 hours average. I do have a couple of days where I only have a 3 hour duty day and then I'm done. But the maximum is 14 hours, and it can be extended by 2 hours (the pilot can say no to this without penalty).

Appreciate the info! Currently in STEP at a 141, learning as much as I can.

Could you land the 737 if need be?

@FlyByGarrett 5 ай бұрын

Could definitely bring that plane down to 30 feet without a problem on runway, but since it's a different weight, view, and control feel, I would most likely damage the airframe upon the actual touch down (I'm imagining it would be a hard landing) at least that's how I'd imagine it would go.
