How do you become an AIRLINE CAPTAIN?

[@KGVirus]

holy shit i have more respect for airline captains now i didn't know they go thru all that trouble to become a captain

[@tinotendamandizvidza1903]

It's no joke

[@mikoto7693]

Holy crap, lol. When I go to work tomorrow I’ll probably look at the Captains in a slightly different way. 🤣

[@maxmustermann194]

does it include a stewardess flirt course?

[@A719a]

Alexander Mustermann lol

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Haha ;) That question made me laugh :) Greetings Joe

[@rogerroger6049]

Hi Captain Joe, does your company have a policy on flying officers fraternizing with cabin crew?

[@nestorlazaro]

Hi Joe, I don't know where to write this question. So I know that a commercial plane can fly for a couple minutes with 1 or 0 engines, but is there anything that a pilot can do if 1 engine fails during the first moments of taking off? Thank you for sharing with us such an amazing profession!

[@Siatkowkarzadzi]

Every airplane is desgined to fly on at least half of engines working. So in 2-engine aircraft you can still fly on one engine. If engine fails before V1 you would abort takeoff but if it happenes after V1 you should continue. Then you climb at V2 speed. Of course flight performance is severly affected, however you can still keep flying (as mentioned even climb), make it back to the runway and land safely

[@TheSentinel091482]

Your next video should be "How To Become a Pilot"

[@natasaceko9615]

Great Video! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (google it)? It is a good one off product for how to get pilot license without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate finally got cool success with it.

[@jameslungu1920]

right he should

[@charlesbutler4646]

Thank you Captain Joe, I had no idea the PIC preparation was this rigorous. This really helps build passenger confidence in airline safety.

[@shachar2]

and I thought the interview goes like that: I see you have the knowledge & X flight hours, here are they "keys", here's the plane you start tomorrow

[@mattball7074]

*excited to start into aviation training* *watches this video & gets overwhelmed as hell*

[@mr_nice.]

Right! I'd better stick to FSX.

[@FrecklesAviation]

xD

[@MrMarcus1015]

mrnicehearted X-PlaneMasterrace!

[@mscheese000]

There's no reason to use FSX over Prepar3d unless you have addons that don't work in Prepar3d and you can't do without them. Technically you're not supposed to buy it for casual flight simming, but I really doubt Lockheed cares enough to go after anyone for doing that.

[@Miku-uw2sl]

James Amril-Kesh Prepar3d is really expensive compared to FSX and for what it would be used for

[@mscheese000]

Not really, Prepar3d v4 Academic is like $50. More expensive yes, but justified considering the improvements made.

[@TinyWords]

When I was at school, I always dreamed of becoming an airline pilot and this is what I set my heart on. Then as I was about to leave school at 18 years old I caught an infection and was later diagnosed that I had developed type 1 diabetes. The infection had triggered the onset of diabetes. My dream of becoming an airline pilot had been shattered! - Such a shame! (((

[@Mikec7702]

Thanks for the video Captain Joe. Although a tedious process for aspiring pilots, it is reassuring to many passengers that this is a rigorous process. Be well.

[@thomaskrafft9890]

You'll be grateful to become a captain if only to stop all the questions about your three stripes! Seriously, God's speed to you and thank you for all the time you spend to make such very professional videos! Incredible.

[@manosst4711]

Why is your name Captain Joe since you are a first officer? (3 stripes) Edit: I am sorry , I am dumb. I just saw your welcome video

[@pineonapizza]

Wdym? Am i still dumb i Dont understand

[@jeppesnderskovandersen9109]

SupeoyGT i also need help. Are he a captajn? He has 3 stripes?

[@Justin-eq6vd]

Jeppe Sønderskov Andersen first officer has 3 stripes, captain has 4

[@mallickminakshi]

I don't understand

[@dr.sudhiryadav2218]

He was a captain In air Berlin and now first officer in cargolux.

[@redhelmet8]

Question for you Captain Joe. What do you do inflight besides adjusting autopilot and changing frequencies as it seems it would get rather boring just sitting there listening to ATC for any updates? Thanks.

[@WesT10109]

My cousin is a pilot. She said she just plays games or watch some movies on her iPad.

[@whalegod2411]

WT1094 Is that even allowed because that is pilot fatigue?

[@josephstalin4202]

Flugzeug Dokus lol they have nothing to do

[@flyingturnip1]

Mostly paperwork - filling in times when waypoints are reached, fuel calculations to make sure that you're burning what the systems think you should (in case of a leak/very strong unforcast headwind etc) and preparing radios for atc handovers. I guess still quite boring but you can always look out of the office window to relieve that boredom! I'm not a pilot but "in the know"

[@cianrss]

genial es una de las mejores carreras que puedes hacer

[@Redbikemaster]

I'm going to flight school now (just started), and this is my dream

[@levykenway1471]

How is everything going are you flying for a company yet?

[@zeppzeus]

I’m only a decade old still need a wait

[@IliasTselios]

Great presentation! Passed through that, but in military aviation. Although to unfamiliar looks like a mountain to climb, actually most of the stuff are already known from been a copilot. You know the aircraft you're flying, you know the airline procedures, because you are part of these, and you execute them every day. The major difference is that now being a captain you have to make decisions on any situation. That's the extra load that a captain is carrying. Which, again, is not something unfamiliar to an experienced co-pilot, because as a copilot you are the captains "consultant" on any situation, and have seen how captains react. Again...Congrats Joe!

[@AL_O0]

This episode has TMA (Too many acronyms)

[@rraahhuulliiyyaa]

I have immense respect for each and every person who contributes in making flying safe.

[@ranggaalr]

really useful and helpful channel. please keep uploading videos :D

[@rosen9425]

Well, as a passenger I feel confident that any given captain is in his position whole heartedly. Nobody becomes a captain by chance or luck!

[@永恒-i1p]

Thanks for the video Joe! I noticed that you only have three stripes on your uniform, why is that?

[@RomanRoblox]

Can you make a video about the ILS catagories, or ILS in general. Love your videos!

[@atmansingh18]

Best of luck to you captain...😎😎

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Thanks!

[@prajwalgowtham9168]

Captain Joe are you an actual captain? Cause you have 3 stripes.

[@ponyonoodles6568]

Prajwal Gowtham I think he is a first officer... Maybe

[@msy6864]

He is a first officer but u can still call him captain since his channel is captain Joe.

[@prestonbryant4257]

He’s first officer

[@zsoms.]

Captain you motivated me I nearly gave up but I didn't thanks to you thank you Captain Joe your a marvelous person, best of luck.

[@kimhung2345]

hi Joe. what do think about the 23 captain from easyjet?

[@saadahmed8954]

Great Video as always, hoping to see the 4th Yellow Stripe on your shoulder :)

[@SimPilotSky]

Does this working?😋

[@MunichAviationPictures]

Very well explained... as always :D Merry christmas Captain Joe ;)

[@cicci0salsicci0]

Hi Joe, I have a question. On the Internet, especially here on KZbin, there is a lot of information about what goes on before a flight. The plight plan, the briefing, the pre-flight inspection, etc... But what happens after the plane got to destination, and the engines are shut off? Are there procedures to do on the plane to "correctly switch it off"? Is there a de-briefing with the crew? Is there a report log to write down for the company? Thanks for your videos. I love them. Bye.

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Great comment for video! I´ll put some thought into it! Greetings Joe

[@aussienik]

Hi Capt Joe, I am always curious how could pilots navigate around the airport grounds as if they know every alley and turns?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

We have special airport ground charts for that :) Greetings Joe

[@saadahmed8954]

Standard Docking Charts, Taxi Charts published by Jeppesen are used, also Taxiway markings & Runway Holding positions are marked by two continuous lines of Yellow Paint & two broken lines

[@NipapornP]

...or request the marshaller!

[@noneofyourbusiness5074]

Keep up,the good work Joe, love your videos mate!!!!

[@Adityapilot93]

Thanks for explaining my question captain joe!

[@Soordhin]

Well, at your airline the current batch of upgrades do not go through a PICUS program, get only 9 simulator sessions including final check and zero flight time training, and only after that start with a five day theoretical course. No assessment or checking is done before entering the upgrade process. LIFUS is sequenced in four phases: zero flight time landings (first four sectors), LIFUS with LTC only, progression check, LIFUS with a normal FO and final line check. All in all 100 block hours, or about two to three months.

[@don-qb4xb]

Fascinating. Thanks so much for taking the time to educate us on how skilled your job is. Really enjoying all your vlogs.

[@papapboss2787]

Thank you captain Joe this is making me more confident of being a pilot. I wish you safe flights.

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Dankeschön :)

[@dutchcpt8357]

At Transavia (Netherlands) there's just a list. How earlier you got your job, the earlier you become a captain. So if there are 300 co-pilots who got there job before you, you'll have to wait for a couple of years. It's not based on skills and flight hours. It varies from airline to airline.

[@alhidayatyahabibi9782]

So you just have all these people in both hands 👌

[@all-roundermahrafin8831]

I have a question: Let's assume that I am a flight student, now I will do simulator training. Do we get the chance to choose which aircraft we want to fly like b737,787, etc or do authorities decide who will fly which aircraft model? Please answer my question Captain. Joe.

[@ZK-APA]

The airline decides which aircraft you will fly based on vacancies. Though sometimes you may get a choice. Something like fly a narrow body aircraft as a captain, or fly a wide body aircraft as a Co pilot.

[@mfairos]

hi captain.. if a person who is already a captain in smaller aircraft such as 737 and then be promoted to 747 or larger aircraft.. do they still hold the captain rank or be downgrade to co-pilot rank before completing necessary type rating course of the aircraft and become a captain.. from my view.. i always see mature age pilot still hold 3 stripes on larger aircraft.. that makes me curios.. thanks

[@kornkixassman4645]

eros actually it depends on airlines and company. Most airline are promoting senior fo in wide body aircraft to became captain for a smaller aircraft. It depends on how small the fleet the airline has. Let say senior fo in b777 will be promoted to became captain on b737 after accumulate a certain flying hrs. Some airline in the west are promoting from right to left hand seat. Example he started as fo on b737 then become capt b737. After that become co pilot on b777 and then promoted to capt b777. Some cases if you see some old fo he might be joined the industries quite late of his age. May be he just started flying at the age of 30 plus.

[@mohdfairosamros5270]

good explanation..hope it will clear the doubt...

[@shabab246]

I suppose it’s much harder in Europe. Here in the US I was only a first officer for 1 year and Captain upgrade took a total of 4 weeks. 25 hours of supervised time, only 2 check flights, 5 simulators, no interview nobody in the jump seat. And you can fly with inexperienced first officers only after 100 hours. I guess it’s a very different world and a lot more work in Europe.

[@carlosgarcia-ue7hd]

How much does it cost the process of upgrade for captain?

[@shabab246]

Usually it’s free unless your airline is poor or cheap and makes you pay for it. Can cost between $10,000 - $60,000 depends on make and model.

[@atmansingh18]

This means captain joe is not a "captain"---check-5:40 in the video....😕😕

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

ATMAN 1803 that is correct my friend, still waiting for my upgrade😉

[@PreparingForTheHereafter1]

Captain Joe replied nicely

[@m1co294]

Atman 1803 Count his yellow stripes, captains have 4 and first officers have 3, soo if you see him wear 4 stripes hes a captain

[@TopRacer2002]

After that explanation, I now know how hard my captains onboard my ship have trained and worked to achieve their rank. Safe flight Captain Joe

[@lausimeyer6558]

How many of 100 Copilots usually pass successfully and get the fouth strip?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

I would imagine 90

[@flippah9101]

Can you explain Flaps and Spoilers? Grüße aus Dortmund. ;)

[@Luxoriantlye]

Flippah flaps allows you to fly at a lower airspeed then 0 degrees of it. Spoilers slow the plane down

[@flippah9101]

I know what flaps and spoilers do but I think it would be interesting for some people who don't know anything about it.

[@Luxoriantlye]

Flippah oh, sorry I didn't know you meant it as a video my bad

[@flippah9101]

No problem thanks for the help anyway ;)

[@finean]

A video on how wings work will explain it further..., just make sure you have the correct video, btw it isnt to do with lower pressure of air on the wings. and flaps also create drag. and spoilers also decrease the lift.

[@flyhigh4575]

[@tadicbb]

can a fighter pilot fly an airliner?

[@PilotEngineer]

After training of course. If you mean some emergancy situation, I think fighter pilot can land aircraft safely with instructions of Type Rated pilot because every fighter pilot knows the basics of flight and navigation

[@institorisinstitoris959]

Pilot Engineer What do you think, do fighter pilots have certain advantages when they become airline pilots comparing to pilots with only civil flying experience?

[@tadicbb]

yes exactly. and what is that advantages?

[@institorisinstitoris959]

I don't know, maybe better understanding what plane can do or feeling more relaxed in stressful situations... just guessing...

[@WhiteKestrell]

Yes. The Military will fund the PPL, Instruments Rating, VFR and IFR so you more or less need only a CPL and Hours on Types, I think? There were many ex-airforce officers who joined airlines that way. It is said to be an easier way than doing it on your own.

[@imaad8910]

Wow!the pilot upgrading procedure is very interesting thanx for the tip joe!

[@gregfredericks5201]

Wow I can really appreciate your job now more than ever. Super job and thanks for sharing Joe.

[@quinnjim]

This is not how it works in the U.S. You wait until your seniority can hold a Captain seat, then go to class. After the ground school and simulator training is done (usually 4-6 weeks), you fly 20-30 hours as a regular Captain with an instructor (LCA) sitting in the First Officer seat "checking you out". That's it.

[@HEDGE1011]

quinnjim Thank you and completely on point. Of course the time spent as an FO can vary dramatically depending on airline fortunes and economic conditions. I was an FO for 17 years before I could upgrade and was furloughed for four of those (9/11, age 65 rule, recession, etc.) People hired in the last couple of years are looking at 2-3 years to upgrade some places and conversely there are guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time that started over mid-career due to airline failures, etc., who never got to upgrade through no fault of their own. It's all seniority and it's not for the faint of heart.

[@francesjarvis3479]

Good lord, so many abbreviations and what a stringent process!! Necessary but wow!

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Very true Frances, a lot of abbreviations, but that was just the tip of the iceberg ;) Greetings Joe

I've always admired captains and copilots. It just feels harder and harder to become one the more I know!

[@umarabdulhamid3576]

Your next video should be "which rang do you come out after finishing pilot school"

[@mikep9604]

You don't get a certain rank after finishing the flight school. You get a pilot license, like for example a commercial pilot license.

[@TheSledgehammer205]

Joe, there is a video online where an experienced Airbus pilot was asked to fly in a Boeing 737 simulator. It would be nice to see something similar from your perspective.

I really enjoy your videos! Thanks!

[@stephanguilloux3023]

Hey captain, small question about the video. In which airport was taken the take off, at the end of the video (time = 6:40) ? Looks familiar to me, but ...

[@psychocuda]

I do have one question; with today's modern aircraft, many are flown by stick rather than yoke. Is it awkward to fly for years as a copilot/first-officer with the stick on the right, and then suddenly as a captain, your stick is in the left? I mean, I'm certain there are a lot of flight hours in the simulator to get you ready for that, but muscle memory develops, etc.

[@michaelwilliamson6061]

Joe, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share you experiences with us. I enjoy all of your videos. I always wanted to be a airline pilot, but could only do this as a private pilot. I now enjoy this as my hobby , with VR I am in flight sim heaven.

[@Frugaltail]

cracking job Joe! how easy is it to swap from commercial flight to cargo? Is the training broadly similar? and how easy is it to fly a different aircraft? do you need simulator hours?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Well there is not that big difference, most probably the biggest change would be a different aircraft type, and therefore you have to take a typerating course! Greetings Joe
