Cockpit to Christmas Markets: Behind the Scenes of a Pilot's Life in 2024!

[@elmiguel1969]

Paul, Santa here: it was so funny bumping into you and your colleagues at Hays Galleria. Merry Christmas and continue making those inspiring videos.

[@FlyGuy457]

You genuinely seem like the nicest guy on KZbin. It's great you are willing to share your flights and life. Always look forward to the next. Merry Christmas and be safe.

[@lyndaplancarte4895]

I don't know if you've already done so but I'd love to see you and Kelsey from 74 Gear do a video together. Your personalities present as being so different but you are both pilots so I think it would be great entertainment and info!! Love your joy of life, enjoyment of taking risks and commitment to your family. I was able to get myself from California to visit my friend in Massachusetts in 2024 so scratch that off my bucket list. Had not flown since 1992 so now retired and free to travel!! Sorry that I flew on Delta but they got me home safely...would have loved to have had you flying the plane!! Wishing you and your family a great Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!! Hope you continue to surprise us with ideas in 2025!!

[@cfairfull8030]

Definetly should post more vlogs. Your layovers are really fun to watch. You might think it’s repetitive but I think a lot of your viewers would agree with me that its so much fun to see.

[@AvStuff1]

FINALLY, I always look forward to your videos each month. I was so inspired by you that I am now on track to becoming a pilot!

[@janeelliott6772]

To mull is to heat, flavour and sweeten. Everyone has their own version but mine is - gently warm red wine, sometimes add brandy, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, maybe cardomom. Add some sweetener and fresh orange juice. Drink warm. Gorgeous.

[@Cicely667]

Merry Christmas Paul and family. Have loved watching you this year, so glad you made it down here to Australia. Cheers

[@peterboss3401]

01:50 as of now, i didnt know you have two different eye colours! very nice!

[@SputnikF22]

Right! Been watching his videos for awhile and I was like, "Wait, what...how did I not notice!"

[@bionicsjw]

As a Flight Attendant with United from 88-2004 I averaged 450-500,000 a year. A lot of coast trips form IAD, DCA and BWI. I commuted to the University of Denver weekly for law school while still flying 75+ hours a month. Although I had a great 30 year career as an attorney, I still miss that job and my flying partners all the time.

[@jamjar5716]

I am so impressed! What a life you have lived and are still making the most of it I'm sure!

[@barbarafogarty4802]

We were travelers but now at 80 and 88 my husband and I don’t go too afar. So appreciate your intimate descriptions of your life. Family and travels, you make everything very well worth watching. My Number 1 channel. Thank you. Happy holidays and the best to you in 2025. From Connecticut.

[@dianafraser6915]

Have a wonderful Christmas with your family Paul. We love your videos and appreciate the time you put in to get them out.

[@Mauricio_Marquez]

Happy Hollidays Paul another gem of a video appreciate your work!

[@HecR0d]

Well Capt., something that went well is that your videos (and those of other AV KZbinrs) have inspired me to set a goal of planning, at the very least, a discovery flight for 2025. It's something I've been putting off for way too long, but getting my PPL has always been a dream of mine since I was raised in that environment. As your personal /professional goals go, more videos is certainly a goal I would love to see you accomplish. Even if their shorter than what you would want them to be, they would be welcomed for sure! Wishing you and your family a prosperous 2025 and blue skies throughout the year! Happy holidays Capt! 🫡🎉

[@richardswede]

I just found your channel quite late in 2024, so i have the fun time of catching up on your past video's. You ask in this one, what we the viewers might like to see more off......Well for me (If your company allows it) to see more of the flight time, not the whole journey , but maybe a cockpit view of TO and Landing, and taxi to gate. I am an AVID fight simmer, and can actually boast more flights than you this year, but hey i never left my Gaming PC, 🤣 and you do it for real LOL! Merry Christmas & Good luck for 2025 and 'Stay on the Centre Line'!😉

[@alexanderseitz9699]

I love your channel! I am always looking forward to your videos! It is an excellent mix between entertainment and an informative look behind the scenes of an airplane pilot! Keep up the excellent work! All the best for you and your family for 2025!

[@jeffdavenport4829]

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas Paul!! Thank you so much for being an inspiration for all of us student pilots trying to move up into the ranks and become airline pilots and live the dream that you are able to live everyday. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!

[@MrBUpop]

Paul, your summary of 2024 was wonderful and just reached down to my soul. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and family. Loved the ending with you and your son.

[@f3nd13y]

never realized you have one blue eye and one hazleish

[@RonSchwoyer]

That’s called heterochromia. My friend has that unique quality.

[@adam7601]

I had that same thought!! Haha

[@allisonbrownn847]

I was thinking the exact same thought.

[@Nunyabeeswax8577]

Same

[@wingflex5367]

Pretty neat, never seen that before.

[@joshuawarner5249]

Thanks for an amazing year of videos, flights, and adventures

[@AviiEdgar]

Hey Paul! I’m Edgar, a United Aviate Academy student. Amazing video as always! You mentioned you would love to speak to flight schools and do interviews. One of my biggest dreams has been to meet you and interview you one day, as you’re my favorite KZbinr in the world! We would LOVE to have you back here at the academy in Arizona. It would be an amazing time to have you speak and hang out with us! Let me know if that would be a possibility and thank you again for always making such great content 😁

[@Dstew57A]

Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family Paul. Thank you for sharing some of your life and times with us.

[@cejay67]

I always love watching your videos. Thankyou for taking the time to make them.

[@lsosa9185]

Love your videos!! You always make layovers fun for you, your crew, and your viewers. Thank you for taking us along on your layover life!!!

[@INDIGO3081]

Your video editing is incredible! The camera angles, drone shots, and music create the feeling of a full-scale production. I’d love to see a behind-the-scenes video showcasing how you bring it all together. Keep up the fantastic work-hope to catch you on a flight someday!

[@LiveInSydney]

Paul & Family - thanks for a wonderful year of videos - Only subscribed this year and glad I did. I love the day in the life and your travels and especially the people you meet. Merry Christmas and a happy, safe and healthy New Year - Bernie in Sydney

[@markotango54]

Hello Paul from Manchester UK, Thanks for all the great vids, Merry Christmas and All the Very best for 2025 🤝

[@amfwelsh]

That’s a great amount of vacation flights and awesome perks. I had 6 weeks of vacation and most of that was in U.S from UK. Looks like you had a blast in London with the flight team. Finally happy holidays!

[@jamjar5716]

Great episode Paul! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@christao408]

Happy holidays to you and yours. Thanks for all the inspiring stories you shared this year.

Sounds like a great 2024! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@markustrettnak6588]

All the best for 2025 🎉. Looking forward to your so inspiring videos ! Very well done. Happy landings !

[@tomgillotti]

Just watched your interview on the Pilot to Pilot podcast. Great interview. Congrats on a great 2024, and thanks for the motivation! Merry Christmas.

[@lorifrederick2367]

Loved your year in review! Enjoy your holidays with your beautiful family. See you next year!🎉😊

[@spiritwings1446]

As always, a terrific video - thanks for all the work you put into these. Happy holidays to you and the family!

[@r0mani4k89]

Whoooaaa, your eyes... I just seen that for 1st time in years of watching you

[@Walshark777]

Me too… 😮

[@MikeyDVC]

Merry Christmas buddy! Love the videos!

[@kevinheard8364]

Amen, sir. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@kirkjberry33]

Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year,great videos

[@beven117]

Very good video. Always look forward to them!

[@seangormanorozco7003]

I absolutely love your videos, so please keep making them in 2025! We also live in Minneapolis and are huge aviation nerds (well, I am at least). Great content and hopefully we'll run into you one day at the airport. Thanks for representing MPLS!

[@lifeiswonderful8578]

Great video as always captain Paul!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@angelacampan5799]

Merry Christmas! God bless you and your family!

[@RyanGoss-i4c]

This video is one of the best, such an inspiration, you make me more want to be a pilote. Thank you so much merry Christmas to you and your family

[@frankfarrelly5215]

Great year end reflections Paul and yes, no place like home. Happy Holidays to you and your family. 👍✈️

[@missamo80]

Love your annual recaps. Congrats on a great year, loved the videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family, hope to see you at KSEA sometime.

[@JediTev]

Merry Christmas! Thank you for a wonderful year! I love your videos and living life vicariously through you. You talked about doung a team up, i agree with another poster Kelsey of 74 Gear fame would be cool, or maybe pilot a leg for Noel Phillips and you do something together on your layover. I know you're based out of Newark, i still hoped you had been my pilot from SFO to HNL. Maybe when we do one of our European trips coming up soon.

[@ax00baa]

Your videos are such a joy to watch! Thank you!

[@beltonfields2311]

I hope you had a great trip also, Happy Holiday's to you and the family. Enjoy your week

[@tomcarr4630]

Another wonderful video! A wonderful 2025 to you and your family.

[@ThePenguinSJ]

Awesome video! Loved it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family

[@anne-marielithgow1977]

Merry Christmas paul and a great end to the year . Looking forward to next year's vlogs . X

[@jameswalker1779]

Love the current format and content of your videos. Please don’t change anything. Would love to get an update on your seniority now that you’ve been a captain for 2(?) years

[@ItxWavey]

One video idea that I recommend is like a cockpit video and what you do to get the plane ready and setting up the airplane

[@robertc1982]

Capt. Love the videos ! Thank you for all the content … as EWR is the nearest to my home , hopefully I get to bump into you in terminal c one day . Merry Christmas

[@josephgilson1747]

That is impressive flying miles. You definitely have the dream job. I love going on a plane and flying. I get to go on a plane this Friday, super exited. My favorite part of my vacation is going on a plane and flying. Takeoffs, and landings, absolutely are the best. Merry Christmas.

[@jamesclark7996]

Love your videos, love United.Frequently flying 883 then 940 back.Happy Holidays.

[@deniset5148]

Absolutely love your vlogs! Love anything you do because you really do inspire me to travel! DH is retiring next year

[@stevenjmasters]

I saw your commercial on a flight a few weeks back! Congratulations on all the wonderful statistics! Loved the snorkeling in Iceland, will try to do that on my trip there.

[@adplotkin]

Awesome as always

[@Ryan_WM]

Love your videos. They definitely inspire me to want to be a pilot. Unfortunately I have a mild speech impediment that I feel like would hold me back 😔 Merry Christmas to you and your family! Wishing you a safe and healthy 2025!

[@lisawilliams1927]

Merry Christmas thank you for sharing ❤

[@SUSIEB0812]

Merry Christmas to you, Capt Paul, and your beautiful wife & sweet family! 🎄🎅🏻🎉

[@RobertSears-f3t]

Thanks for a beautiful video..The best one beside your family trips which are so special!! I find all your videos interesting not redundant at all , as you do so many crazy adventures. I cant wait till you get the famiy to Antartica, a dream for so many people...Happy Holidays !!!

[@anne-marievr5710]

Merry Christmas. I have really enjoyed all your videos.

[@dixienormous3262]

Love Paul's videos. ❤ Very inspiring.

[@braddethomas9825]

From an aspiring pilot who loves your videos for the lifestyle side of things…I’d really like to see some more aviation videos, whether it’s aviation excursions, history of your aviation career, or day in the life from an aviation perspective!

[@williamumbach592]

Merry Christmas! And Happy 2025

[@MrJannelah]

Very nice video, thanks and merry Xmas!

[@EricClem-x1s]

You really don't need to switch up your content. I really enjoy your approach to visiting places and have adopted checking out Atlas Obscura before I go somewhere new. You have a knack for finding unique, interesting things to do. If you spent your video time doing room tours, then yes I would say switch it up!

[@alisonr9608]

You are blessed with a family that allows your freedom to fly. There are many careers like this. My daughter is a singer on cruise ships and is away for 6 to nine months at a time.

[@stevestibbons1789]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year Paul, hope you and your family have a wonderful holidays , I really look forward to seeing where you take us in 2025, we have faith in our Captain to keep raising the bar.also are you aware of Bigjet tv, based at Heathrow, I’m sure Jerry and Gilly would love to meet you 👍🏼

[@zxjim1104]

Just flew United from MCO to LAX a couple days ago, and I saw the commercial you are in on the airplane! Your channel is amazing. Best of luck in 2025 🎉

[@yleesm.erasquin6051]

Hi Captain Paul! My husband and I are always looking forward to your vids. His name is Paul as well and works for United for almost 10 years now here in SF. We hope to see you and bump into you in one of flights! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your family! 🎄

[@BenjaminSartin-d6r]

Awesome video as always! I would love to see a video of using non rev flights for vacation to visit multiple places around the country/globe!

[@donjohnston3776]

Your once a month video, I believe, is a contributing element of video excellence. What you do in terms of people is rich. As a viewer, I feel rewarded in some way with your sharing and production. Don't change anything.

[@Nico-uit-brabant]

Love the ideas of doing interviews!

[@ccut1955]

Congratulations on 20 years! May the rest of your marriage be filled with stronger love, healthy family and safety on your job.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎆

[@thatloudCG5]

Hope to see you around EWR soon and enjoy your family time! So as the movie goes, "Merry Christmas ya filthy animals. And a happy new year!"

[@MaddoxZook]

I enjoy the day in the life videos because it shows me what it is like to be a pilot(what I am trying to do) and there is not many out there

[@MrMarko-gk4so]

Love your videos . Hope to one day bump into you in the airport I work at . Maybe an idea for videos would be take off and landings and taxing to and from the runway if you’re allowed ? Either way Happy Christmas to you and your family

[@abbylea2359]

I was so excited to spot you in the commercial! Congratulations 🍾

[@GerryPicker]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄

[@bartrandsnappy]

Great video Paul. Try harder next year to exceed the half million mile mark. Like many comments I’d never noticed your different colour eyes either, or was it the light. Anyway Xmas wishes to you and yours. 👍🎅🏻🎄

[@thebadgerpilot]

I think it would be cool to experience Christmas in different regions of the world that celebrate. Here's to a prosperous 2025!
