As another 16 year old aspiring pilot, you are a great inspiration for me to keep working hard and pursue my dream. Keep up the good work, and I’m so proud of you for finally getting to fly those planes!!!✈️ 😊

What a blessing to work for Southwest. Congratulations.

[@timerwin5646]

Sara, love seeing your transition to SWA. Looking forward to a video with @max8captain and @flyingwithbigern.

[@Violinistic]

Aah.. the memories of the first 737 flight. Still fresh in my mind. Congrats on your acomplishment!🎉 Hope you have as much fun as I've had in the 73's. Keep the blue side up ✈️

[@MiguelAAlfaro27]

im 18 and currently working on my instrument rating. Love general aviation but I'm so excited for the airlines!

[@andyland27]

Maybe you will collab with big ern some day 🙂

[@roscar787]

Hi, from Japan. I will be a airline pilot trainee this April. I found your channel two years ago and you’ve been a great inspiration from that moment. I failed once, but I finally make it last year. It’s because of you, thank you.

[@louisetvancouver6161]

Hi Sara, I’m a fairly new subscriber and very excited in viewing your new experiences flying the 737 and Max, your daily routines or anything you can show us. I love travelling by air to get to my destinations and look forward to viewing your vlogs. Take care ✈️🙂

[@BelieveSaif]

Congrats Sara !!! On Your First 737 Flight ✈. This is How You Start The Year 😜 !!!! 🎉🔥

[@essbe7158]

Just found your channel. Really impressive for someone so young to have their stuff together. Wish I had had a plan. Hope the career goes well on the 737.

[@kkeanisie]

Girl, I had the biggest smile spreading across my face by the end of the video with those 3 photos! I’m soooo happy for you; living your dream, my dream, ✨THEE dream ✨Congratulations, Sara! I hope you’re so proud of yourself, you deserve to be. 🫶

[@lawrenceakini4981]

Happy New Year! Fly and stay healthy. Cheers. 2024

[@susiew6851]

Congratulations on your first day and thank you for making a video.

[@ashikihsan1946]

Hi Sara Maika, My congratulations and good luck for your first trip on a plane as a pilot. I know you are already a successful pilot Sarah. You will be the best pilot in the world. I like your beautiful make up Sarah and the delicious foods you had. Happy New Year my friend Sarah

[@Ms2MrsSuddenly]

Congrats 🎉🎉🎉 And Happy New Year👍🏿🎊🎊👋🏿‼️‼️‼️‼️😊

[@simonk.9914]

This looks like so much fun, I’ve got a few years to go but can’t wait, keep making videos, technical, flying, lifestyle, cooking, whatever!

[@targetdecoy]

this is so exciting to see! congrats on your first trip! 🎉

[@nathanpeterson2296]

I start flight school in just 2 weeks! Been waiting for this forever and can’t wait to get started!

[@videogameplayer0552]

Good luck! It’s a lot of fun.

[@SalmaLemerabet]

Did you pay for your flight school ? Is it really very expensive????

[@nathanpeterson2296]

@@SalmaLemerabet for me it was around 12k for a part 141 private pilots

[@Umarkhani123]

Your video inspires me a lot and makes me wanna just skip the time to when I be a pilot. I seriously can’t wait I’m going to school right now and seeing this made me so motivated

[@ruilotz]

Must have been a tiring but amazing first flight on your new airline. Congratulations! 😊✈️

[@steve-o5600]

Congratulations! So awesome!

[@jaredsweater6423]

So are you Denver based, and commuting from LA? If so, how long will it take you to hold LA?

[@flyssimulation]

Nice video, congratulations on your future endeavors with the airline! You’re a big inspiration to me and I’m finishing my PPL in a few days because of you lol. Congrats

[@videogameplayer0552]

Nice! I still have to finish the cross country requirement including solo cross country, but once I do that I should be able to get my PPL too. I’m currently at 42 hours.

[@Saramaikat]

Aww thank you! Good luck you got this!! 😄

[@kammyr4082]

I was so thrilled to see you wearing a scarf😂 I'm a flight attendant in pilot training..... Im going to miss my FA uniform

[@joeshah8789]

This is one of the more enjoyable channels. It really feels like a "behind the scenes" view of pilot life. I think as she gains more seniority she will film more in depth of the flights.

[@rumais3606]

You are amazing 🎉 congratulations dear lam in 16 year 😊 and lam also to become a pilot . It's my dream...

[@juliesdiariesofficial]

Hi Sara ✈️ I absolutely love watching your videos. As a student pilot myself I will start practical training in Phoenix next week - we will have a connecting flight from DEN to PHX and to be honest I‘m crossing fingers so much to have you on there and say hello - even though chances are sooo low haha! Keep on doing what you‘re doing, I‘m wishing you all the best 💛

[@kimheran]

I want to meet you Sara and I work on the ramp in DENVER hopefully to see you while doing your walk around :D

[@Marcfyve24]

Your video randomly came across my feed. Big congrats on your first 73 trip. I’m about a month away from my first 73 trip with this 🇺🇸 company. tailwinds and blue skies!!!

[@jadziak6997]

Being a pilot as a young woman must be amazing, especially the reactions of people when you tell them what you do...a very rare career answer! Do you ever consider expanding to a Helicopter? Or is cross-training for that not a good idea? I love watching your adventures! Almost to 100K Subs too! Happy New Year!! :-)))))))))

[@kammyr4082]

Can you do a video on why you selected your airline as opposed to a legacy?

[@bunnyboucher9802]

Congratulations! I’m very happy for you ❤

[@Hurrikai24]

What is different about the 737-800ER and the 737-MAX8

[@prabathbandara6590]

Good Game Sara!

[@daunit5493]

Wishing you the BEST for 2024! Let’s GOOOOO

[@tagbon]

Wonderful! Hope you have a great 2024. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us, it's fun to see someone doing well at the thing they love. 🥰

[@teresayoung93]

so happy for you to continue your journey and have such a great experience on your first IOE at your new airline! as an FA, I always love when I get to work with a female pilot and I know that you are inspiring so many young women to follow their dreams. thank you for being you and happy new year!

[@michaelmartinez5365]

Hi Sara, congrats on your successful first 737 flight ✈️😊

[@mandepilot]

Sara, the next time you're at DIA and have a layover, if you're staying on Tower, please do yourself a favor and eat at DiCicco's (eat in, don't order to go). It's my fave when we stay on Tower.

[@YanalMeristem]

I was eliminated due to a platinum stuck in my foot as a result of an accident. Good luck to everyone else.

[@joannekee5129]

I would love to see a video about the dress code!

[@marklisiecki5790]

You are the most beautiful, elegant, sophisticated female pilot ever :)Best wishes and Happy New Year ♥️

[@lordwiggin449]

Southwest was a great choice! That’s where I plan to be in the future!

[@jayzee9405]

I love the videos. Keep up the good work! Quick question from a current flight student. Have you noticed the pilot shortage decrease any in the past 6 months and do you know if the airlines have been hiring people within their cadet programs more or from off the street?

[@adrianac1569]

Congrats on your new position! I just took my first flying lesson and am so excited to keep going! Thanks for sharing your life and journey... it's an inspiration. :}

[@Sar_aaaaa]

Almost 100k🥰🫶🏻

[@wannafly34]

Congrats!!! I have a couple of friends who are captains on the airline. Hopefully you'll get to fly with them at some point!!! Happy New Year!

[@giuliamars8380]

Congratulations!! 🎉 I'm very happy for you!! 😊 Student pilot here :)

[@diego_mcfunfun8191]

It’s crazy to think that we trust pilots with our literal lives, while they just regular people like all of us, just trying to fly from one point to another. It’s so cool to see haha!

[@miarosea]

Just decided that I want to take a discovery flight early this spring! Congrats on the new job!

[@jaym3240]

I am currently a student pilot and I have been losing interest in aviation but your videos shows me what i am missing.

[@campingalan]

Hi there! Many many congrats on getting your 73 rating! That is really awesome. I operate a B350 out of Telluride CO. I see SWA over at Montrose CO all of the time. I'm glad they have began flying here all year.

[@Daniel-cr3gd]

I really thank you for spending time on making these videos cause I know these take a lot of time and energy. It's so inspiring to watch your videos and I sure hope to become a pilot 😊😊😊

[@CHSBulldog59]

Congratulations on your transition to SWA and first flight rev on the 737. Great choice on the MFK, they have some fire scents.

[@dennismassie3552]

👋🏻KSRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸Congrats and welcome to SWA.

[@Cyn2906]

You’re such a inspiration to me since I’m a aspiring female pilot l am going to start my flight classes in 2 weeks wish me luck ☺️

[@swagger105]

Congratulations Sara, you’re living your best life and safe flying, I start my training next week and cant wait to get started, keep this content coming I love watching.

[@tempeth8744]

nice vid you should buy Ray-Ban sunglasses so its not a hassle to record with a big camera when your flying

[@joey7384]

Congrats on the flight Sara!!! Must have been quite an experience...

[@MrJohnBos]

Your scarf and the wingtip colors would be good indicators of your new airline. I'm not sure what airline though. The wingtip colors in your VLOG look like Southwest but you may have been deadheading. The scarf has me puzzled. Congratulations on your first 737-8 MAX flight.

[@AlongtheRiverLife]

This is an amazing video! Loved hearing about your first 737 experience. I know you did so very well!

[@stevenlee_1]

Happy New Year Sara! Congrats on your 737 flight. Wishing you all the best with the new company!

[@kat_n]

You're such an inspiration, Sara!! I'll be a pilot some day (and I'm a lot older than you are)! Congrats on your first flight!

[@S_fx7]

I love your enthusiasm, positive attitude, and self discipline

[@mike48084]

I am really inspired to see gender diversity in the cockpit. I am an aspiring 18 yr female pilot. I am still working on my commercial, but I don’t know if I make in this heavily male dominated workplace. All my instructors are male and make me really uncomfortable with their strange comments about boyfriends, my menstrual cycle, etc. It is just awful. On top of that being in a confined space with them for extended periods is torture. How do you deal with the inevitable micro aggressions at work? Also, I heard the male pilots like to use the crew rest rooms as changing rooms at some airlines. Is that true?

[@ShabavizEztarabi]

Hi I like to be a pilot 👩🏻‍✈️ What can I do after high school ? Can you tell me the program thanks 😊

[@Chelsea_Rene]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@YanalMeristem]

@Sara Maika Hi,i think you wrote me an account name to contact me, but when I clicked on the comment it was already deleted. If you deleted this on purpose, it's okay, but if it's an error caused by KZbin, do you have a chance to share it again?

As another aspiring 16 year old + 3 more years I can’t wait!

Okay...that hotel room in Denver literally looks EXACTLY like the one I stayed in Edmonton a month ago😭

[@TheBillybobmartin]

The MOST IMPORTANT THING….. FLY SAFE!!! Know your job, it’s your responsibility to do it 100% correct, 100% of the time. Have fun with your job and overnights. NEVER forget your responsibilities. MY life and my family’s lives depend on it. Every day. Every minute. Every flight.

Hey sara I’m a 16 year old aspiring pilot i would love to know more about how to become a pilot soo if you make a video about the steps and processes that would peachy. Love your videos! 🩷

[@Jsthappytobehere]

Love your content girl!!! Keep on chasing your dreams ❤️ I have a question, do all/a lot of pilots eventually experience boredom/disinterest when it comes to flying?

[@kimtongo3533]

Thanks for sharing your career as a pilot!!!!!🙏☀️🙏☀️🙏☀️🙏

[@beyzaozdemir1834]

Hi Sara! The video is so comforting and fun to watch as always! I wonder if there is any sudden change in your schedule regarding the latest emergency within the MAX? Also can you do a video about pre-flight reading? Thank you for the awesome content, you are a true inspiration!!!💖💖

Lots of great restaurants in Lower Downtown Denver (LODO as locals call it). My favorite place is Hopdoddy!!

[@JuJu-zb7rt]

Thank you for sharing your happy life as a pilot. I also want to be a pilot so I have a question. For flight training, aviation academy or university, which way is much better for being a pilot?

[@carsonknott9884]

Congratulations on your first flight in the 737! What were you reviewing before your flights? I’m training to get my instrument rating right now and was just wondering what you look at before.

[@Jdmstiflat4]

I really admire and appreciate the work you guys do !!! 👍👍

[@daniellejean6923]

Could you do a video on how you paid for schooling and a cost breakdown? I know it's very personal but I am aspiring to enroll and just don't know how it pay for it.

[@AlongtheRiverLife]

Was this the first time you felt and flew the actual aircraft? What did it feel like, light, responsive?

[@jennadeleon4017]

Living my dream !! All the best to you and safe flight every time
