[@petruzzovichi]

Behind the eyes, the hair, the complexion, the smiles and sense of humor is a remarkable brain. You are beyond lovely since you have such command of everything from your English to your reasoning. You are a joy to all and I wish you many years of excellent health and happiness. From an Old Timer in N Idaho

[@EleanorPeterson]

That's a great Comment, Peter. You can tell just by a glance how some people are 'right' for certain roles. They walk into a room or sit down for an interview, and you KNOW. This young lady has a tremendous air of competence about her. I don't think 'driven' is the right term (in my experience, driven people often have no time for anyone but themselves); perhaps it's 'self-assured'. She's born to shoulder responsibility. In America she'd probably have been singled-out in her formative years and would now be in training to be an astronaut. It's a wonderful thought to know that there are people of this calibre all over the world who are piloting jets because they NEED to, not just because it's a 'cool' occupation. On a more frivolous fantasy note, she's just the sort of candidate Starfleet would want as a starship officer! [I'm thinking of the Captain Janeway character in the Star Trek 'Voyager' TV series...] :-)

Funny how everybody is talking about both getting together as a couple. It seems, nobody knows, that both are in a relationship, but NOT to each other :D

[@jur4x]

If I remember correctly, it was mentioned in one of the videos, Joe dates a girl that was his passenger when he flew for Air Berlin.

[@katego370]

Yes, I heard all of you gasp when Joe came with the "If we ever get married" line. Thanks for not caring about all the rumours and continuing to make video's together! Great friendship you have, it's a treat to watch. Even though it's probably inconvenient for both of you and your partners, I think it's hilarious that so many people want you to cheat on your partners so badly and are just openly asking you to.

[@mackdlite5900]

Somebody even created a placeholder P*rnHub account...

[@tropicaldimitri7374]

Occasional one night stand is healthy cause it frees the tension.

[@washabee]

You and Joe make such authentic videos. I wanted to thank you and Joe for sharing your experiences and knowledge about the aviation field to others who are interested in becoming a pilot, like me! :) Thank you, keep up the good work.

[@ualflyer]

Bucket List Item: Be on a flight where the pilots are Captain Joe and Michelle!

[@victorang928]

You do know one of them fly a 747 CARGO plane while Theo the fly a 737 PASSENGER plane right.....

[@airwipe1639]

Victor Ang I’m sure he knows that, and it’d be to good to be true anyway.

[@ualflyer]

[@robertlm917]

It is so nice to see a girl/woman who is so well spoken with such a positive attitude which is probably why she is a pilot. I would venture to say she would be an asset to any company. May the Good Lord be with her in her travels.

[@healthyself7941]

When I worked as Flight Crew the first thing I did after arriving at the hotel was go to the swimming pool (most hotels had one). Dutch Pilot Girl, try it. You may like it. Any flight, especially a long one, is tiring. A swim helps stretch the muscles, and relax all over. It's great!

[@azzamfs]

Refreshing to see you guys out of the pilot uniforms lol

[@princegabytv7251]

Make more videos like this every week! Coz we learn many things from you two. Although you both you don expose your relationship verbally. But in action we see! I really love to see you are lovely couples.💟💝

[@irnbrukidsm]

Brilliant interview featuring two of the most natural individuals on KZbin. Answers loads of questions that must be asked of DutchPilotGirl. If you fancy trying all the different aircraft types is it not possible to try some in different simulators? Or is it way too costly?

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Way too costly indeed ;) Simulators can be very expensive

[@HarlockG]

I like how she thinks: "I'd like to try the 747, the 787, 777..." (...) "Also your Airbus, why not?" ROFL

[@colinsmith2518]

Love your two’s videos, you have a great relationship but how and where did you meet?

[@martinkarugaba]

I feel like I'm watching a movie. Thank you for sharing your story with us and Captain Joe, thatnk you for being there for her.

[@Aviation-vn7ko]

Did u ever fly with Mentour Pilot when u were at Ryanair?

[@watershed44]

@Aviation2002 It wouldn't surprise me though if they did. I wish she would do a collaboration with Mentour Pilot, but perhaps Petter's wife might not be happy with that idea.

[@CharlesLopes_]

It was an amazing interview, I really appreciate it. Enjoying from Brazil!!

[@rndshrl]

She is so good with the expressions when she's talking. Ya gotta luv her. I noticed this time that she's wearing a ring on her left hand. Now, I'm broken hearted. Not really, She's so good at these videos.

[@aviator_tech867]

Nice video! Question: How does the Rudder redundancy work on the 737? :)

[@MrRooibos123]

Specifically the Max?

[@jiminyhopkins]

Captain Joe did ask...

[@AaronHarberg]

Remember US air 427??

[@grumpycyclistdubai]

Can you please talk about pilot watches and its functionalities while flying. Big Kudos!

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Will think about it! Problem is pilot watches are quite expensive, I don't own one so it would currently be difficult to review them/share my thoughts...

[@gurukural4970]

Respected Seniors, The conversation was good. Thank you to the both.

[@shotokanads3325]

Really enjoy your channel and this insight into your career. I worked at Ayr Hospital near Prestwick Airport and I had no idea you flew from there with Ryanair. Thanks again for this channel and your contribution.

[@matteofalduto766]

- If we ever get married... ehm... not the both of us - If youtube wouldn't have been there, we would never mate... ehm met :D I'm sure Mr. Freud had something to comment here :)

I love your energy and chemistry together !!! I have not even finished it but i know is gonna be great

[@TheRealMarkS]

"Such a good friend" - that's great, but always an almost certain kiss of death for a possible relationship. 😃 You make a great pair, in both appearance and interaction. I mean, you could be "Joechelle"! Seriously though, your collaborations are great! 👍👍

[@i-love-space390]

Very intelligent interview. I think some youtubers are better interviewers than on television. Very professional. Best of luck to both of you!

[@tommacbride3654]

That was really good! The two of you talk smoothly, not talking over each other. Hope you do more shows together, I am sure any topic will be well received. Cheers!

[@dickdewit8433]

Realiseren degene die een duim naar beneden zetten niet, dat ze de vrijheid hebben om niet te kijken? Dame en heer, ga door zo. Heerlijk om te kijken.

[@robertlawrence492]

Great video, although I and I'm sure others would like to have known more about Michelle. How her life was growing up, her family, did she have any real struggles going through flight training, were there time, when she reached her destination does she stay near the hotel, or does she wander around the cities? What other things does she like to do; such as painting, cooking, hiking, scuba etc. I hope the questions she asks Joe are about the things I mentioned. I do love watching them together. Now if we could get both of them together with MentourPilot, that would be awesome.

[@andraesellar7341]

Great story!! Hard work and also good fortune to actually land a job with an airline, i know people who trained as pilots but were unable to make it , congratulations!!!

[@aviationone1]

Great job Captain , I'm an air traffic controller and i have benefited greatly from your videos ,, excellent effort ,thank you .

[@cydc.r.1487]

Thank you so much to you and Joy for sharing both aviation experience! ❤

[@fa300zxtt]

Tell you what, You Tube is lucky to have such a bright young lady pilot on their roster. Hey You Tube if you're reading this let it sink in. So many young people are reading and watching this and are inspired by this. This "GIRL" is good! You're looking for a role model? Well this is it. Thank you for this episode as always.

[@Delta191]

You two seem to have a little friendly competition going.

[@diazi0117]

Safe flying.Very smart, beautiful & confident.... Great videos.

[@todddembsky8321]

I love watching you two together, you can see the friendship. BUT, Captain Joe, you will never have hair as nice as Dutch Pilot. I love how you banter back and forth. I got my Single Engine Land ticket in 1980, a C150 can have a huge takeoff roll when you are hot and high. You know you are in trouble when you depart the Denver area in a c150 and spend the next 10 miles flying around the Prairie Dog Holes until you can start to milk the flaps up. Those were the days. Steam Gauges, DME, VOR, Transponder, Single radio in the stack, and an entire right panel that had acres of open space. The only thing automated in those days was gravity. The fan up front stops, you have one option ... descend. Most of the rental planes still have Ventury horn to spin up the gyro's.

[@nilszitzelsberger8501]

Just bought the book ! I definitely want to be a pilot !!

[@witcheater]

Fun to listen to. Interesting how you had the opportunity to try other avenues. Happy for you that you found a good one for you.

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed that. The sound was a bit soft but that didn't spoil the video. Good luck with your desire to land all those types.

[@Pushkin62]

Michelle, you mentioned in your video on rosters that you are working for a charter airline. Is it your ultimate ambition to fly for KLM ?

[@mrade5321]

I had no idea you started out with ryanair. Over a 5 year period, I flew frequently with ryanair between edinburgh and dublin. Everyone always made fun of ryanair, but those people had never been on a plane in their life. My experience with ryanair was always a good one and I love to see a ryanair plane coming in to land at edinburgh. I'm usually sat in the mcdonalds car park, which the planes fly over on approach or take off. I've also seen the ryanair plane circling prestwick many times. It's a good sight. Have to admit though, watching a 747 coming in to prestwick is an awesome thing to see.

You can tell they’re good friends......

[@canutusvulgaris]

Michelle - as an retired Airbus R&D engineer with 37 years at Airbus with being involved in all Programs from A300 B2/B4 to the A320 NEO family i will encourage you to once migrate to the best aircrafts in the world, build even with the help of dutch engineers of FOKKER (I started at VFW-FOKKER, so I was very often together wit the great dutch colleagues - great people.... like you I guess. I really like your channel, and especially that you do these videos together with Captain Joe - you both make very goosd team to whatch. I am impressed in general by all you female pilots i came acoss in the last years in the KZbin telling from your jobs like flywitheva flying 747F or your B737 colleagues - the "Marias" from Sweden Maria Peterson, Maria Fagerson... love to get how you all made it into the cockpit. 👍👍👍

[@GeeLove]

This is absolutely outstanding!!! Thank you Dutch!!!

[@slam854]

Future videos: A) Healthy things for pilots to do off hours & B) Crisis management You two make great videos together. I liked the A320 vs 737 program. I asked Michelle about microburst weather approaches. I had heard an argument about how traffic piles up with these long shallow approaches. The argument states get them there and down with STEEP descents (6% or greater) and full flair/low or no power landing like the shuttle. What are your thoughts?

[@Lloyd2605]

Great work guys. Both of you produce AWESOME videos. Thank you once again. Look forward to more from ya's. :)

[@EmmyGuitarxGirlBird]

Great interview! You two both work well together! Can't wait to see more videos from you both.

[@xxtylerxx9057]

Ime 12 but I really like wanna be a pilot because to see the world and take people on holiday it would be fun I love airplanes and every thing need to find out what you need o be a pilot what u need to pay etc... so I dunno how much flights school is and licensing is but you Dutch pilot girl and captain jo are my INSPIRATION because you're amazing I wish I new what I need in gcse to even do or go to flight school or that but yeah u are an !IDLE! I respect u soo mutch ☺☺☺

Oh my Gosh! DutchPilotGirl is wearing a ring!

[@maarten9844]

JTDrummer She would be quite young if she would be married now (not judging) , so I dont think she’s married

[@Rik079]

First: they have confirmed that they are NOT a couple. Secondly: in the Dutch culture, it is quite common to wear rings for other reasons then marriage (or engagement)

[@OhYeahYeah-wz6ix]

She's 26 lol

[@camfantasyforsf9876]

you are my inspiration, you answered all the questions in my head.

[@rudolfhuijs4526]

Hi Michelle! My suggestion for a future video would be about navigation. How you program the VOR and how the flight plan is decided in advance. Also, what happens if there are restrictions to fly over certain countries or zones or bad weather with too short notice. Does it cause a lot of distress and that ends delaying a flight? Keep up the very good work you've been doing in your channel. Fly safe. Tot ziens!

[@taniaballester7257]

The video on Joe's channel about this video, Theresa another one, it is much clearer and smoother, good camera!

[@taniaballester7257]

I flown a plane, a paper plane🤣🤣

[@EMTdrummer]

The two of you seem like such fun people to be with... As for future videos.... I often wonder if you participate in any kinds of reviews when there is an airline crash or serious accident? I would think all pilots would like to know what happened and how to avoid the same problem on their aircraft... thanks!!

[@lamontjames1670]

So here's what this life is REALLY like: 1. Most pilots are stuck at a regional for life. Spotless career record? Sure. 2. Most pilots are road warriors for life. Nobody knows you out there. 3. You can lose your medical at any time. Game over. Months for a special issuance. 4. You have a $125k+ note to pay which MUST be paid- even if not as a pilot (#3/#6). 5. It is "not" a high pay job. Regionals pay low wages. You WILL still pay your debts. 6. You face lifetime jeopardy sim and line check events. Check airman didn't get laid...? 7. Reduced life span, melanoma, and lowered sperm count go with the high gamma. 8. Expect occasional bad apple crew pairings lasting days on end. 9. You WILL be working holidays. Kiddies wonder where you were on Christmas, 4th, Easter... 10. 5 hour commutes on both ends of every trip because you can't afford to live in base. 11. Major diet of pack food, fast food + whatever is in walking distance of a hotel. 12. Airlines down-cycle. Your seniority goes bye-bye. Back to FO poverty. 13. Airline jobs enjoy very poor lifetime compound interest earnings. Look it up. Huge. 14. But oh, you get to fly to Europe occasionally for free. Standby seating only. 15. The con job now is a sign on bonus which never repeats. 2nd year- back to poverty. 16. Its mainly outdated aircraft. Hot when hot, cold in winter. Breakdown prone. Filthy. 16. Regionals do essential service to the remotest cities in the US a lot. Podunk time. 17. Assignments are never guaranteed. Mad dash time. Forgot something? Sorry, gone. 18. Airlines misuse 117 "emergency" all the time. Tired pilots go well beyond duty limits. 19. Many hotels are a circus. No sleep. Call out for lack of sleep sure. You are not paid. 20. How many do we need to see this is a hard, low paying, risky, stressful career?
