Oh my goodness, I flew with you a few months ago. I was your purser. I had no idea you have a channel. You are such a nice captain. These days, you never know what you are gonna get. You were so professional and kind. Thank you. I love seeing such a family man, kind and efficient with briefing. I’m definitely going to subscribe. My man loves when I fly with a captain I feel safe flying with. Thank you

The Buzz Aldrin story reminds me of when I was working a commercial booth at Oshkosh. It was slow on the last day of the show. A distinguished looking gentleman stopped by, curious about our satellite communications product. For about twenty minutes we had a very nice conversation about the satellite business. I never let on that I knew who he was. He never let on that he knew I knew who he was. No selfies, no autographs, just a very nice conversation with the last man to walk on the moon.

Loved the Buzz Aldrin story. In December 2005 there was a dedication ceremony at Santa Monica Airport of the Douglas DC-3 mounted on a pole. Major aviation figures were to be there including Bob Hoover and Buzz. I figured it would be one of my best opportunities of all time, to meet Buzz. Brought along an authentically signed photo of Neil Armstrong I had purchased at Long Beach flea. Finally got the courage to walk up to seated Buzz and introduce myself. Clumsily. Showed him photo of Armstrong and asked "Do you know this guy"? He laughed. Then I mumbled unsteadily, "Buzz would you mind signing this TO ME, on the backing? It's not for sale, ever, will be a family heirloom" I nervously gushed. He was very gracious and signed with the date and place AND, most interestingly, wrote "103rd anniversary of Kitty Hawk". He didn't have to do that. And charmingly, it was actually the 102nd anniversary!! Deceased astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom's nephew was there and he filmed my meeting with Buzz. Wow, what a day. I learned to fly in Miami in 1978 a 23, got my private ticket in a 152 and after 94 hours total in the log book hung it all up as it got to be an expensive pastime. In 1980 the pilot demand/hiring situation was not anything like it is now or perhaps I would have gone the airline pilot route. The times were different. Envious of you Paul, except for the constant very early mornings that pilots and flight attendants both seem to accept as a major part of their lives. As others on here have mentioned, your constant positive attitude, admirable general curiosity about the physical world, and genuine friendliness towards all, despite the difficulties of the job, are amazing to watch. I much enjoy your videos.

Great job giving that man the opportunity to converse with you despite how tired you were. Most of the greatest humble personalities have no ego so they tend to appear as “normal” people. Buzz Aldrin is a great example of a person who has achieved greatness, but will always consider himself a student.

That quote you said at the end “Everything comes at a cost”. That really hit me. I’m a few weeks away from my private pilot checkride with the end goal of stepping foot into a United Airlines cockpit one day. Your videos are always so inspirational and is helping me move forward in my flight training to one day, hopefully, fly side by side with you. Everything comes at a cost and even though flight training is really expensive and a huge financial burden, I know it will be worth it when we both fly together. Thank you so much for being one of the reasons for achieving my dreams and I hope to meet you in person soon. I’m a ramp agent on the United ramp in Fort Myers Florida and I love to travel. I’m always flying through Newark and it’s like my second home. I hope to meet you in person in the near future. Thank you so much for everything you do and inspiring us by just being you.

It's nice to see someone talking about the realities of the job. Commuting is an essential part of the equation for so many pilots in order to make the job work, yet it's at the least a major pain, and very often a nightmare when weather, delays, or full flights prevent you from getting home and seeing your family. It's not something that should be taken lightly, but certainly a perk of the job....because who would ever want to live in Newark, NJ!

Love your positivity, passion and drive! Would love to connect with you 1 day to hear your story! The stories we have are impactful and yours are always positive! Keep inspiring! Flying to Frankfurt from Denver in March, maybe you’ll be our pilot. :)

You had me at Jiu Jitsu. I also fly for work and train when I can. I love it... but I feel like I'm starting over every time coming back after trips. (It's difficult to have a pilot/ jiu jitsu life) Good on you for getting after it in the middle of a rotation!

Just started flight school, also just got my blue belt and I’m feeling like I’m going to lose it all on my journey to be an airline pilot 😅

@@Payton_oh Cool man. It’s tough to train consistently and be a pilot. I fly charter so it’s definitely a challenge. I also roll super chill because of the physical requirements of the job/ needing all limbs to be working 100%, can’t have concussions, etc. I almost quit Jiu Jitsu because of these things. But then realized I’d rather roll chill, inconsistently, and be quick to tap, then not train at all. As far as flying goes- Getting to the “good career flying” part is tough. I’d consider myself a seasoned pilot. But I’m a 2 year while belt. And I think flying is similar to Jiu Jitsu- Keep going past the point where everybody else would quit and push through the setbacks and discouraging times. Keep your eye on the end goal. There are no unreasonable goals… only unreasonable timelines. Everybody is hiring right now, so you’re in a good spot. But even if things turn, if you love it, keep going. I really can’t speak for the Jiu Jitsu thing. But as far as learning to fly… again similar to jiu jitsu- Enjoy the process, study, drill, practice flows, realize discouragement is a healthy part of the process, swallow your pride, keep your ego in check, backseat flights if you can. Take charge of your own training/ learning. Don’t expect everybody to spoon feed you. Breathe. Just. Keep. Going.

Having grown up near Cleveland, Continental was my go-to airline & I'm partial for United because of the nostalgia. I currently live in Colorado and I heard that between CAL dehubbing DEN after Stapleton closed, there was a still a large number of Continental employees based out of the front range.

This was really eye opening for me. As an aspiring pilot I was always worried about the concept of only being limited to the airliners or operations around my living area, but seeing that some people work for ops from the other side of the world sort of opens my options
