Firstly it’s Qantas AIRWAYS not Airlines and John Travolta NEVER flew for Qantas, he owned an ex Qantas 707 that was painted in Qantas livery by Qantas and he acted as an ambassador for the company on a worldwide tour. Qantas got him a 747 endorsement free via their training department. I wish people making/narrating these things would spend more than a nanosecond on research.

[@bradcrosier1332]

No B-747 rating on his certificate at the FAA airman registry.

[@Kevin_747]

I met John late one night in Salina, Kansas. A well known fuel stop for what both of us were flying at the time, 20 series Lear Jets. He had an instructor with him and wasn't particularly chatty in the pilot lounge. In about 2005 I ferried a B-757 to Lake City FL for maintenance and his 707 was there. Our maintenance rep knew his maintenance rep and we got a tour of his 707. The media loves to feature John all dolled up in a pilot uniform but he has never turned a wheel as a professional pilot. He is a hobby pilot that always has qualified professionals accompany him on his flights. He's a successful actor with an aviation habit, not a pro pilot that is an actor.

I’ve tried to find out how much time-in-type John Travolta had in his 707. I know he had 5,200 total time and nearly dozen type ratings. That time sounds like a lot but if you spread out the time equally over the 40 years he’s been flying, it comes out to be about 2 .5 hours a week. I can’t even imagine how the insurance works in his case.

[@andredarin8966]

@@justreeln2946 It’s not hating to wonder how much “time in type” he has or what the specifics are of his insurance coverage. It wasn’t all that long ago when you could count on planning to spend 10 years as an F.O. with your butt planted in the right seat before you qualified as captain of a beast like the 707. It isn’t hating to wonder how tricky approaches are handled, given the almost obsolete avionics.

[@professorvoluck9311]

Makes it even more special that while working full-time as a top actor and raising a family, he was able to get all his type ratings(12) and buy 5 jets with a dream house & runway. No need to minimize his aviation achievements. He certainly didn’t choose to work as an ambassador for Qantas because he needed the money. The man deserves to wear a pilot’s uniform if he so desires-he can land a heavy jet the same way any airline pilot can.

John Travolta been flying Airplanes almost 40 years. I remember John flying a Learjet into the Hilo Airport in the state of Hawaii in the Mid 1980’s. John would fly his B-707 into state Hawaii all the time. His late wife is from Hawaii. No one flies a jet solo. Maybe he flies with instructors, retired airline captain , that is a very smart thing to do, it is always good to be flying with experienced pilots. John has love for flying and aviation and that’s what it’s all about.

[@tonylam9548]

No one flies a jet solo, well, you never heard of jet fighters? Read some old books like Richard Bach's Stranger to the ground. I am fairly sure with the newer 2 pilot airlines, if forced , one pilot can fly it. They just be busier.

[@user-my3ff5lj6m]

You say no one flies a jet solo. I depends on the jet. Cessna has been building jets the Citation, M2, M3, that are single pilot certified. Also, the Embraer Fenom 100, and Fenom 300 are single pilot certified.

Actually, if he is a member of the crew (without a relief pilot) he is required to be in the seat per the Federal Aviation Regulations: § 91.105 Flight crewmembers at stations. (a) During takeoff and landing, and while en route, each required flight crewmember shall - (1) Be at the crewmember station unless the absence is necessary to perform duties in connection with the operation of the aircraft or in connection with physiological needs; and (2) Keep the safety belt fastened while at the crewmember station. Schmoozing or getting a massage is NOT going to make the definition of either "duties in connection with the operation of the aircraft" or "physiological needs."

I love John Travolta and so proud of him. I like flying also...HE'S MY MAN!❤❤❤❤

[@TheGospelQuartetParadise]

Commercial pilots dont get licenses for each type of aircraft they operate. For instance, John doesn't have separate licenses for the 707, 747, 737. He would have a commercial pilot license, with type ratings for each aircraft he is qualified to operate, to include whether they be multi-engine piston, turbo, or jet aircraft. But the newest addition to his personal aircraft fleet is amazing.

[@hb1338]

He has neither a commercial licence nor an ATP licence, which is strange.

[@fernandorosales2418]

There's no such thing as a pilot license. It's a certificate.

@@fernandorosales2418 you can substitute certificate with license. Even the FAA does that on their website. 🙄

[@tonylam9548]

John's lack of ATP is just because he did not need it, (or it expired, at his age and not working for an airline, he would have lots of recurrency training problems) he can pass a commercial test real easy. That is just a private with stricter tolerances. Technically, to fly a 747, you just need a private, with multi engine, and type rating, and you do not even need the instrument rating if you stay below 18,000 ft. Any jets or over 12,500 lb gross weight plane need a type rating. I don't think that include turbo props?

That inspection schedule is suspect with the pressure that these aircraft will be under. Boeing Dreamliners had to have carbon fiber to attain and hold that much pressure. You can do this for almost any modern airliner, but it means that the rivets and welds are stressed too much and will develop fatigue earlier. I used to see it on commercial aircraft all the time. That's the biggest reason that most are only pressurized to 8000 ft instead of 6000 ft.

I dunno, how he didn’t care about ANYTHING in that moment but his son hit me hard. Selfish people don’t react like that to death, they make it about them somehow. John, just fizzled out and was a mess. End of the day, he’s a good man. So, I support him and pay to watch his shit when I can afford it. Also, Jett was a neat kid.. really brought John and his wife together and was the glue. He loved his dad a ton. That’s a special thing and he should be remembered. Thanks for reading.
