He let him sit in the Captain's seat and flipped the lights on and off. It was dark so it was really cool for him. We got some really good pictures too. Thanks to "Skip" for the opportunity. Then the Captain talked to my son when he came back onboard. Thank you Southwest and Thank you to hardworking men and women that get us safely to our destinations. Very much appreciated.

It will not make the path easier - maybe even harder. Classic path would be to start with gliding(which USAF pilots are going through as well), then get PPL licence, build hours with flightshare, civil services, instructing...then get small aircraft CPL, then gradually rise Your carrier to bigger planes if interested. I suspect, that airliner pilot job is not as interesting in long terms, then being just in good paid position and have Your private flight abilities, like personal or rented plane, PPL maybe involvement in soaring sports - that could bring less stress, more romance and diversity from aviation. But of course - study the subject, that is really good age to start from and start to build Your knowledge, experience...and making right choice is much more easier. As from my experience, I can tell, that it's not as important to see if You can be something(You can be anything You want unless You have health and mental problems and attitude), life is about getting experience and it might become boring and psychologically challenging with repeating experience, where only destination points and weather is changing.

In the preflight procedure the Capt and F/O share tasks to optimize effiency. There are no checklists included in this stage. The crew briefing still needs to be done as well as all the checks. The first checklist to be done will be the "preflight checklist", which they will do together and in then they will crosscheck each others actions that they have completed during the preflight procedure (shown in the video).

Ultimately, the point is we as pilots are taught emergencies procedures, or for that "what if" moment and its the same whether you fly a 737 at FL23 or a Cirrus SR 20 at 025. Great video!

About a year ago (give or take), I flew on Southwest to Colorado Springs from Phoenix. When we landed, I went up to the flight deck and had a chance to sit in the right seat for a while and chat with the pilot. The PMDG models are THE MOST accurate plane you will find for a simulator. The Captain and I had a GREAT conversation and as a result, I made my decision to become a pilot with Southwest. I'm currently building my hours and hope to have enough to become a pro within the next 2 years. Hopefully with SWA within the next 5-6 years.

Part of their Type Rating comes with memorizing checklists and flows. They have most of that stuff memorized.

Amazing stuff. Started to study 737 on X-plane. Been in training center for 737 with my son, who is huge fan of aviation. Nice Adventure.

Same thing happened to me the other day when I was in Chicago haha they were done with the pre-flight though so I took the left seat and talked to the F/O and ended up talking about the NGX.

What he did was a pre-flight. He set the aircraft up, checked systems and paper work. The check list is completed before we start and yes we prefer not to be interrupted. Now I can't speak for British Airway but it can never hurt to ask. So when you go up be sure to have your camera or phone ready.

Some captains are super nice, I've got to sit in the cockpit a few times after the flight and speak with the pilots. Some are not too nice, I go to embry riddle myself and can't wait to get behind the 737! All you have to do is ask the pilots if they don't mind speaking with you. One gave me his personal number!

Embry Riddle. They have aviation schools in different US locations. My flight instructor went there and they are the "military academy" of flight schools. They turn out good pilots. I heard they are on the expensive side too.
