Life as an Airline Pilot

[@tim07737]

Watched this the first time in 2013 when I was 15 years old and it was still a dream. I’ve watched it so many times since then, especially when life was difficult and challenging. Passed my CPL ME IR checkride a week ago. Still can’t really believe it Update: after two years of searching for a job I‘m now flying as a first officer on a private jet. Happiest I’ve ever been

[@komkom0990]

Yes when you're 25 and single. When you go over 30, are married and have kids, its not that great anymore, missing so many weekends, never being home, missing your kids birthdays and football games etc. It becomes a compromise between qualifying as a pilot or spending time with your family... And its great travelling to places in the beginning but eventually you just want home to your family. Many pilots quit when they get older and go working as an engineer or something like that because of this.

Hello there. I first came across this video back in 2015. I was training to become cabin crew. This was my motivation to start flying school. Tireless nights of studying on layovers as cabin crew, having to study during my breaks on long haul flights. I always returned to this video for motivation. I am happy to share that I have finally achieved this goal I set out to achieve. A Commercial Pilots License with Multi Engine Instrument Rating. I can't thank you enough. The journey has just begun. Nothing is impossible!! Absolutely everything is Possible with determination, sacrifice and consistency. Thank you so much once again!!

[@steveo1kinevo]

To me flying for an airline would be fun for about 1 month. I prefer flying Single Pilot around the world. Cool Vid :)

[@sngwrter49]

I gave myself a week watching the video. I was a commercial pilot in the corporate arena and stayed away from applying for the airlines due to all the "away" time. I was fortunate enough to fly for hire and able to get home same day most of the time. To each his own.

[@mattolmstead6150]

@@sngwrter49 I want to be a pilot but want to stay local to where I live. I was thinking regionals? Or flying private jets would be cool as well.

[@sngwrter49]

@@mattolmstead6150 I would say to anyone who is interested in aviation and wants to fly for a living is to become aware of the realities of the endeavor first, such as 1) Obtaining the licenses and ratings necessary for professional flying is expensive, 2) Getting there takes time. No one cares about your newly obtained pilot certificates, employers want experience. Getting that experience usually means becoming an instructor and taking any kind of flying job you can get to build your flight time and the pay during this period of building your flight experience is often very minimal. 3) When you get there be prepared to work odd hours, being away from home and flying bad weather at times. Your passengers will typically have no idea what IFR, wind shear, convection or airframe icing mean. They just want to get to their destination and expect you to get them there just as if you're driving a car. 4) Always remember critical errors can be fatal and there is that possibility something could happen beyond your control. That inherent risk is always an aspect you assume for choosing a career that is a non 9 to 5, non-desk oriented occupational activity allowing you to fulfill your dreams of traversing the brilliant blue and sometimes gray and cloudy skies unlocking the mysteries of professional flying and traveling to interesting places. As a retired corporate pilot my recollection is having to get to the airport early in the morning before everyone else to get the aircraft ready, flying my passengers to their location and having to sit around for hours (often huge downtime. A smartphone would have been a great asset in those days) waiting on the passengers to return for same day flights and often having to go AFTER the weather for the return flight starts going to crap while you're thinking "why couldn't you guys have been ready an hour ago when the weather was fine?" I' ve talked with many other pro pilots and the consensus is usually that flying stopped being "fun" a long time ago. Yet we still must fly. So, that's my point for anyone thinking they might want to fly professionally. Just "wanting" to be a pilot is not enough. It's something you feel you MUST do. And, I suppose that holds true for many other abstract and possibly tenuous career choices. Yet, above all that, I can't think of anything more challenging and thrilling at the same time than professional aviation.

I remember the first time I watched this video; it was probably mid 2015, and I was on my lunch break at my retail job when I stumbled across this. I had no flight time and I was trying to figure out which training avenue to take after almost a lifetime of thinking about flying. 3 years later, I'm watching this again while awaiting my flight instructor checkride and so much closer to flying these jets than I ever thought possible. Been an amazing and immensely rewarding journey so far, and it's fun to come back to this video to remind myself why I started this whole thing in the first place. Thanks for making this, definitely one of the coolest and most inspiring aviation videos on YT. For those of you that want to do this, get out there and start your training! Yes it's expensive, but I can tell you that there are all kinds of ways to finance the journey; just takes a little bit of research. It will be the best decision you make! Especially for those of you that have been bitten by the aviation bug; I promise that the only way to scratch that itch will be to get out and fly :)

You didn't show the "pathway" to life as pilot though. You know Instructing in trainers for hours on end. The sitting on the ramp engines running for two an half hours awaiting a "flow time" to an airport, 35 mins away. (LAS-LAX) Getting to the layover hotel at exactly the same time as ever restaurant in the local area closes and eating the week old Powerbar from your backpack for dinner. But you know what, it's still worth it. (Some days!)

[@golfcharlie232]

It's certainly not fun everyday, I can find hundreds of drawbacks to the job. However I make videos because I love the job, not because I hate it. To be fair, most of the points I don't like are related to the airline I fly for, not the job itself. The things you mention are North America specific. There's no such thing as instructing for hours on end in Europe, most people start on heavy turboprops and medium jets straight out of school here (the few who are lucky enough to get a job), we almost never taxi for more than 15min, money is usually decent even in the low cost airlines, moving up the ladder is a lot faster than in the US (upgrade, base transfer, ...) and we spend most nights home with family. I have way more time off than I had with my previous non-flying jobs. Drawbacks? Unhealthy working hours, fatigue, not fun to share the flightdeck with someone you don't get along with for up to 12h, things often don't go as planned (take-off slots, tech and pax issues, delays, weather, ...), time pressure, responsibilities, constantly tested (sim rides, line checks, medical, Safa checks, ...), cost of training and licenses, lack of jobs (over 80% of fully qualified European pilots do NOT get a job), ... Still love the job, but that's just me.

This year I finish college,and then gonna start the Flight Academy here in Norway...I see the pays are very nice,but what about the work time ? You could end up with some really stupid flights.Anyway it seems very awesome to do that,and the company paying for your food and drinks and all shit while you are away is just killer.Really looking forward to that!

[@predatortheme]

Lol no way i could becomea pilot with my school education... they only take the best.....

[@CptContar]

Conex Xenon You'd be surprised my friend, don't count yourself out just yet.

[@Philos791]

Conex Xenon Most airlines only require a bachelors degree in any subject. You could get a bachelors degree in basket weeving and be qualified by most airlines standards. What they care about is #1: flight experience #2: ratings and #3: how much of a sheep you are. If have enough experience, have the right ratings, and are willing to completely give up all your personal freedoms and bow down to them in every way possible, then they'll hire you.

[@predatortheme]

Well in germany, you need "Abitur" to the "Pilot-Education" the Abitur is equal to 12 years of school on the "gymnasium" path... I m not on that path and will only get a "Fachhochschulreife" Which means you can only study engineering on any college, but not study on a University(medicine, biologie,law, psychology and so on) Only things they offer on a engineering college.... And having Abitur when applying for the Pilot-Education is the requirement.. Also you will have to go throught entry tests first.... So if i would get a bachelors-degree... I would automaticly get the Abitur-degree and Could apply for the Pilot-Education..... depends if i would even get invited and pass the entry tests....

[@Expectations1337]

They also grade you on loads of medicals,and you also have to be very calm in sticky situations

[@maujo2009]

Piloting an airplane is the closest to being a starship captain.

[@Toasty_-jx6zk]

Mau Jo no.

[@blumac9801]

Mau Jo no. Being an astronaut is.

[@Jay-zs6ox]

@@blumac9801 Probably not even that. I think being the commander of a Navy destroyer/ship like the U.S.S Zumwalt would be the closest thing.

truly inspirational video, but for now its just a dream. just nothing to say

[@Contrail-yx1eh-tropopause]

My husband has been a pilot for 35 years. Seven years ago, during his transition training from ERJ170 to B737, he watched this video over and over again to keep himself motivated. He told me that it was his favorite video. I am also a former flight attendant. I know how amazing every moment of this video is. He is currently serving as a B737 check pilot. This video is his treasure. And I would like to send a shout out to all Pilots . Thank you for the great video! From JPN✈️

[@jo-oy4vj]

i wish i could like this video more than one

[@island5317]

I am 13 and currently taking flying lessons at my local airport. I want to be an airline pilot when I'm older, but i can't stop thinking if pilots will be replaced by computers by the time I'm 25 or so. Anyone who knows a lot about computers and stuff?

[@Wuilmer39]

No I don't think humans are gonna be replace by computers :) and I 13 too and want to become a airline pilot

[@island5317]

Cool what airline do you want to pilot for? and what aircraft?

[@f_zed8712]

Joey I would fly the 747-800 I love the plane btw I'm also going to be a pilot! :)

[@island5317]

Not sure if you heard, but many airlines are retiring their 747's and going for planes like 777s and 787s for fuel efficiency.

[@hobbs1701a]

I am a pilot. No, computers will never replace pilots.

[@sjwdestroyer6336]

You get paid to travel the world! I can't believe more students would rather become doctors than this, but everyone is entitled to their choices. I'm on my way to getting a B.S in aeronautics with a focus on commercial aviation, can't wait to get my license and eventually be flying these babies!

[@MonteroEntertainment]

Aumed Ramadhan Good luck! There are actually many more advantages to being a doctor than pilot I think (IDK about them myself, I'm just assuming).

[@brunocascardo3327]

Aumed Ramadhan I also think that, as a Pilot you get paid to: travel the world, to have the best office in the world, not scheduled timetables of work, you don't have Homework(simulators could be (studying)), and the best is that you feel free, no like a rock in the ground, but better, with this job you can attract girls very easy 😉

[@sanantonio855]

@@brunocascardo3327 You don't have homework ? How about meteorology, air regulations, navigation, all the theory behind ? And you have to be pretty desperate to choose your job according to its attractiveness towards girls. Besides, say farewell to your family life.

[@brunocascardo3327]

@@sanantonio855 it depends International Pilots have a Lot of free Time (sometimes a week free) And what i say about the girls was very stupid (i was like a Virgin😂) And yes i know that you have to study a Lot

Fedex feeder pilot here, you have no idea how much I enjoy this video. I've watched it so many times. The music is amazing, and so is the filming. More people outside of aviation need to see this, if this doesn't make your adrenaline pump, goosebumps raised, smile from ear to ear, I don't know what will. My other favorite video is "sky fighters" the song is "into the fire". On the thumbnail of the video, there are two fighter jets. That one is also just as invigorating.

I have decided when I'm 18 I'm gonna do the CTC integrated corse and get a loan and pay it off when I'm a pilot

[@explodingmind4351]

TheLankyPilot I hope you make it there as a pilot but I would not have a loan and I would save because what if you fail? You have to find a job that will help you pay them back and if you don't that's bad news for you.

[@hanidjari1174]

This video was the very first aviation video I saw, in 2013. It tipped the balance, I dropped out of university 3 weeks before the beginning of my program an pursued aviation. I've been an airline pilot since November 2016. So thank you sincerely for this video. I'm hoping to make one just like it in the future. I have videos on flight instructing, my first job, though!

[@haribotomeb]

Hi, I'm a 17 year old ALevel student. My whole life I've wanted to be a pilot, to fly for any airline is the greatest dream of mine, but I have one small problem...... Don't you need a lot of money to become an airline pilot? My budget is tiny, my family is working class and try hard to save but we just cannot afford the extortionate prices to train for an airline pilot... Is there ANY way I can achieve not only my goal but my dream? Can anybody tell me of any scholarships, sponsorships or anything to achieve a pilot with a small budget! Please ~Thomas

[@Aadhar.Chopra]

Thomas Bowdler nothing is impossible ...try to find a sponsor or if ur home is near to an urban core...try to get a loan...or start saving today.study hard.get a job that somewhat pays well...use savings and loan amt to fund pilot training....keep searching for ways..don't give up...cheers mate

[@byronhenry3877]

Just take out a loan, that's what I'm doing. My family isn't filthy stinking Donald Trump rich and you'll notice when you get into the industry, nobody else is either. You will need to pay it back and live on a tight budget for a few years while making a lower salary but if you can suck it up and make some sacrifices you'll make it. Besides, who cares if you make a low salary in the beginning? You get paid to FLY. That's pretty rad in and of itself. It's your dream isn't it? It sure as shit beats sitting in an office on a computer or flipping burgers for a living. Keep motivated, think about how great it's going to be in 10 or 15 years when you're flying a 787 making over 250k a year. You can do it, I can do it, anybody can do it. You just gotta have that "I am a fucking boss and this whole planet is my playground" mentality. Best of luck to you.

[@yrboyten352]

MylesMCL but are the controls diffrent from fighter jets and planes?

[@muhammadshairazi6087]

Find an Airline that has a Cadet pilot programme, the airline will cover you for all the training expenses and once the training is done you must work for them for a few years as a contract and after that you can be promoted to a captain and so on

[@byronhenry3877]

YRBOY TEN Obviously some things will be different, but for the most part, it's the same thing. It's still just a plane no matter how you break it down. The airline will train you on its procedures and you'll likely earn a type ratings for their specific plane. It's not like you just get hired from flying F-16s and then immediately tossed into a Boeing 737 on your first day at work and then get fired for not knowing how it works.

[@SatanicStorm]

I feel like I should be a pilot, I just feel like its in me to control such a modern marvel and such a beautiful machine, but my anxiety is so (no pun intended) sky high that I can barely go in a car without thinking its going to crash. Sigh. At least I can always fly in a plane with some anxiety pills :3

[@dylandefalco9138]

No you can't.

[@dylandefalco9138]

Unless you mean passenger, you can do that.

[@SatanicStorm]

I know I cant be a pilot and take pills. Just look what happened to Crossair Flight 498

[@SatanicStorm]

IIproductionsII Who knows really. But all I know is, I wont be a pilot. When I'm on a plane, all I do is distract myself, so I cant have myself distracted when flying such a beautiful aircraft. :(

[@SatanicStorm]

IIproductionsII Oh wow, that was some fantastic advice! I've only been on 4 planes.. From Perth (Australia) to Thailand, then Thailand to Switzerland and then back again. Like a 16 hour flight there and back lol.. So nerve racking ! But yeah, I will see how I go after more plane trips :)
