airline pilot vlog // pt.1 15 day trip, 747, hong kong layover, LAX!, qingdao, shenzhen

[@bgabb9110]

My son just turned 21 yrs old and just graduated with his bachelor’s. He was going to enter law school but changed his mind and wants to be a pilot. He is 5 months into flight school and loves it. Watching him going through this really makes me realize that you really have to have passion and focus. I have new respect for pilots.

[@qjsa]

YESSS the longer videos!!! Thank you fr, just what I was looking for. You make amazing content so the longer the better.

[@estherinclouds]

Glad you like them!

[@driver288]

Wow! I’m SO impressed with your incredible journey from zero to 747 in like 3 years! I’ve never heard of anyone that have done this so quickly as you! As you said in another video, still too young to drive in certain situations but fly multimillion dollar jets? No problem. I bet you get some surprised looks from your colleagues that haven’t flown with you before. I bet they’re super impressed too!

[@estherinclouds]

thank youu! It actually took me 5 years total but yess im very happy here😊

[@marvlessmarvin]

New vid nice! I always watch these like at 6am and really sets the tone for the rest of the day. I go to LAX a lot since my parents are retired and visit Mexico a lot. Something about airports really calls to me because you see so many people from around the world. I'm working on being a nurse but sometimes I wonder if I should have worked in this field. Thanks for sharing and glad youtube recommended this channel early on. They know what they are doing lol.

[@estherinclouds]

hahah thank u youtube algorithm!

[@speedimikey]

Isn’t this the best job ever? What job pays you when you are sleeping or out exploring towns! I am so grateful. First year, I ate all the catering I was assigned to saw my takeoff weight getting heavier. Now I only eat when I’m really hungry.

[@estherinclouds]

hahaha yes be careful of boredom eating

[@jkim47ill]

Remote jobs

[@gilbertestrada6195]

Thanks for taking us on your journey! I’m sure if you keep doing what you’re doing, you are going to get a lot of followers. You should try and do a video explaining what’s in your flight bag. Everyone’s always curious what other pilots carry with them.

[@estherinclouds]

ooh i love that idea!! will work on that😊

[@ChesSambaBrasil]

Ready to fly in Enterprise 🤩

[@letitiaan]

I love the video so much, Esther! I'm 52😳, New Zealander, studied Mandarin while doing my law degree, then decided to go to Korea instead of China for my work❤ First I learned Korean at Keimyung University, Daegu (loved it!), then went to work with law firms in Seoul. Now, back in NZ, and preparing to start my PPL✈❤ My Dad flew🥰 and I look forward to carrying on his dream🙏 And I am still thinking of ways to return to Korea and fly! Thank you☺You are helping inspire my dream~~* Happy flying, and I look forward to your next video!

[@estherinclouds]

thats wonderful!! I hope to see u in the air someday

[@letitiaan]

​@@estherincloudsThank you, let's hope!!✈💙☁️

[@joshuasmith1813]

Can’t wait for part 2 also crazy switch from a small plane to the queen of the sky

[@estherinclouds]

i know i feel so blessed😊

[@kiraasuka9943]

Took me a second to think which 747 with a layover in Hong Kong will come to Los Angeles. Should be a freight airline. Turns out to be Atlas and it makes sense. I wonder how many pilots are in contract with Atlas. Feels a lot but you are definitely one of the most lovely pilots

[@Trojan0304]

Thanks for taking us along. Love the foodie info😊😊

[@espeescotty]

Congratulations on passing 10,000 subs! I got in just before you got 2,000. I am so happy you have started doing voice-overs throughout the whole video. It helps this slow reader out. 👍 And, thanks to you BF for catching your 🧈landing at LAX!

[@estherinclouds]

Omg wow thank u for ur support so early on😊

[@fabianmercado721]

Awesome I most likely saw your PO916 flight land since I work at the DHL @LAX

[@flyer7694]

Congrats on reaching 10000!

[@estherinclouds]

Thank you!!🎉🎉

[@tanyagash6615]

This is great, after years of trying to understand how an Atlas pilot schedule works, I finally have an understanding.

[@enjoyj3534]

제가 좋아하는 비행기 vlog에 가장 좋아하는 기종인 747 pilot life 정말 부럽고 너무 멋있습니다.^^ 궁금한점이 앞전에는 Atlas air 운항하시던데 이번에는 Polar 이면 같은 회사가 비행기가 공유되는건가요?ㅎ

[@jc-tu6pg]

love to see how you're challenging stereotypes! do you work for KAL or a shipping company?

[@estherinclouds]

cargo!

[@bobagowoof]

Thank you for showing your daily life, very intriguing!

[@cheneyrobert]

Congratulations on 10K 🍾🥂

[@DC-rf1sn]

These are very nice videos, happy to see some flight plans and your travel vlog. hope to see more of it. just curious that you are flying cargo and commercial tgt? Normally i heard pilots flying either commercial or cargo only, rare to see both types.

[@videoconcord]

Esther Your video is amazing life of a pilot all over the wsorld. I am dressing up as a pilot for Halloween I always do every year because I had always wanted to be a pilot. Everyone lost my pilot costume. I got the hat, shirt and everything need to wear a pilot uniform haha. LAX is a busy airport I will be heading to Costa Rica in November flying out of LAX on Alaska Airlines. The hotel you stayed at is really amazing I love the window part for privacy or just show full window LOL I look forward to your next video

[@estherinclouds]

omg costa rica!! hope you get to see sloths🤭

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

Hey there Esther So I take it you flew for United or DL Express before Atlas ? How long where you there? How many hours did you have when you got hired on at the airline? cant wait for part II

[@estherinclouds]

yup 1.5 years!

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

@@estherinclouds ORD based? I was based there for my last 12 years at AA now retired. By the way I love your Channel... FYI, lived in Kunsan and Osan for 4 years. I miss my layovers to Kimpo

[@estherinclouds]

⁠@@Boeing767DriverAAi was lax based before! thats awesome i've been to osan before!

[@kalekainxx]

If you use roaming service you can use all your North American apps including google and google maps.

[@liangtian-f2g]

welcome to shenzhen～dongmen street is too far from the airport，baoan center is a better choice when you visit again😄

[@Doremon2524]

Keep doing more vlogs❤✨

[@estherinclouds]

[@Keepcalmandslaytheday]

So lucky that you fly my fave plane !! The 747-400

[@dupeydupey1353]

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed your vlog.

[@simo-dv5xk]

So Atlas assigned you to ANC basing or is that your only option since you are new with low seniority? Are the NY and Tampa basing harder to get?

[@RelaxNChillOut]

ooh butter landing!

[@pongsirip.1872]

Nice view and nice job. You are so cute.😅

[@estherinclouds]

Thank you! 😃

[@Mumra]

Chinese hotel are top class, I have stayed all over china and it’s nice, I love Yibin.

[@GengWang]

I am from Qingdao and I’m a student pilot！ is there still LAX-Qingdao nonstop airlines ？ I thought they all cut it off after pandemic

[@simo-dv5xk]

Does Atlas have a dedicated Loadmaster on each flight?

[@estherinclouds]

not always! sometimes they fly with us

[@sam-ff2bg]

cool vid what app do you use to view the flight plan or is it a company app?

[@estherinclouds]

jeppesen!

[@simo-dv5xk]

Do you get to accumulate your hotel and airline points?

[@estherinclouds]

most of the time yes!

[@pureCHance11]

are you allowed to vlog during flight?

[@Syd_17]

do you work for Polar? or Atlas? or are they same company??

[@Hillpilot]

Is Atlas a good company to work for?

[@SynicalDan]

(Food) Queen of the Skies. 😂

[@estherinclouds]

facts😂

[@PKerusso]

So you flew E-jets for horizon before atlas.. NICE!

[@calistuscosmas2609]

nice video, keep it up smart pilot :)

[@blondejohn25]

After that buffet, you needed every one of those 23,000 steps to burn it off

[@estherinclouds]

100% true😂

[@chrisleung99999]

Nice video! I am a student pilot in China and I am receiving IR training. maybe when I graduate from the academy and back to the company, I will fly 777F😂. I wish we could met in the sky.

[@TraineePilotJess]

Have you ever met Kelsey?

[@chaitaliiiii]

Hey just a ques. Did you have US citizenship to become airline pilot in US. I too wanna study aviation and become a pilot in the USA. Would really help alot if you guide me a bit😭🙏🏽

[@chrisfry1768]

ERJ - 767 - pair of 747s

[@DaveChai]

believe that is a 777F.

[@NYCgragas]

HI I am a Korean American pilot trying to get into Atlas once hiring resume. How many credits you get in a month? Is OT openly available for all seniority? if so , how easy it is to get it? I will be commuting from ICN and base in ANC . It seems there is a line that start from deadheading to somwhere in Asia, which will makes my job immensely easier as I don't have to touch ANC and deadhead from ICN to the whatever place in Asia my trip starts. Do you have any idea how easy it is to get one of those lines?

[@estherinclouds]

not too sure yet since im still new! most of my trips start with an operating leg. i havent had a start with a desdhead but im sure we have those!

[@jackyu1143]

Must be such a nice feeling when your boyfriend takes the video of you piloting the plane on its final approach. How impressive is that?

[@simo-dv5xk]

Which European and South American destinations do you also fly to?

[@estherinclouds]

im not too sure but we do a lot of germany for sure!

[@gilnelson6563]

Hello! I do have a question for you. Can you help me?

[@JacKey-i2l]

I like watching your videos, upload more

[@itrollspeed_56]

Great

[@AsiyeADoruk-AyBerk]

Is pilot easy or hard❤

[@tangfukman]

[@MCole-xz3cz]

It still blows my mind that a tiny 115-120lb girl can handle a 700K+ 744/748!

[@estherinclouds]

😂😂

[@renzarrubio1839]

long vlogs!

[@simo-dv5xk]

Have you experienced any tough Captains on a flight so far?

[@estherinclouds]

nope, thankfully everyone has been super chill and pleasant😊

Where are you from? Aren’t you a Mandarin person in Taiwan😂😂❤❤

[@sofaonasock]

How do you stay so cute?

[@smithkenny8034]

[@morphix007]

i got 800 hours on flight sim 2020 bro

[@sk8guitardrums]

you must want to do a lot of cardio workout between flights one would think, to get your circulation working good, like swimming, cycling or running? even some rock climbing or Bouldering would be a good exercise and stretch. then again i guess time is very limited, the price you pay for such a high end job as pilot.
