My Aviation career update 2/25/24

[@JuliusRussell]

From a greyhound driver to a pilot.......awesome

[@gregoryrobinson161]

Woooow. I stumbled across your video and was saying..... he looks like the Grey Hound guy. I started reading through some of your comments and realized...... this IS the Grey Hound guy!!! Ive been trucking for 23 years now and decided to switch to the charter bus side at the beginning of the pandemic. Needless to say, I stayed in trucking a few years longer, which is when I came across your videos. I've been in the bus business for 2 years now and mostly enjoying. I'm also in the process of earning my PPL lol. I really don't think I'm going to join the airlines but hey..... who knows 🤷🏾‍♂️. I'm proud of you Doc, you always follow your dreams!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!

[@FranciscoMorales03]

Cool man! I used to load Amazon freight a couple of years ago at KABE, now I am a truck driver for FedEx but I haven’t given up on the dream of becoming a commercial pilot…

[@TheOtakuphill]

Don’t give up. It’s all a matter of time

[@treyfeeley2519]

Do it while your young!!! Don't let anything get in your way!!!!!!

[@isaacpestpreacher5175]

Used to work at KMEM in USPS sorting, now I’m a private pilot logging time getting my instrument rating soon, keep grinding bro

[@WestAirAviation]

@@TheOtakuphillMight be a lot of time if he hasn't started yet! By the time he reaches ATP they'll be asking for 1,000 turbine just to sit right seat again.

[@93caddygable]

Congratulations brother!!

[@rocnnrollbus]

From Greyhound..to the B757/767!? Bruh...bang up job! I remember seeing ATI DC-8s at Ramstein and Rhein-Main back in the day..

[@ilbria5913]

Man, I’ve seen you go from Greyhound to this. So proud of you. I did something similar, I drove for USA Truck for a year. I quit and went back to flight school finishing my ratings and later going to a regional. Now I’m at a major airline. I hope to see you at the big U soon dawg!

[@troybellamy4615]

Absolutely amazing journey on your part! It truly shows what hard, work, focus, and an education will get you in the end!

[@ReidsAviation]

Inspirational, I am age 16 and a student pilot. I will likely be taking both my PPL and Instroment checkrides on my 17th birthday to become profesional like you

[@CamWM]

Excellent! This journey has been inspirational.

[@gpyle]

Congratulations again, Phillip for moving right up the ladder. Schedule is a little rough but overall I'd much prefer it to rotating shift work like I did for a long long time. Cool you're up in a 757/767 now. Log those hours and have a great time. You deserve every bit of it.

[@CW-le8wc]

Congratulations! It's fantastic how you've worked so hard and kept your eyes on the prize. Good to have you back on youtube too.

[@diegoaccord]

Very nice seeing this journey. So what's next? You can fly for so many carriers with that 757/767 type rating. 747's with Atlas/Kalitta? Legacy carriers? 777? 787? Open to Airbus?

[@maxracing1777]

Wow, Just came across your channel I really like the content. Can you do more IRL Airline Pilot Vlogs

[@slamandgo]

Does your carrier offer home basing with paid tickets to where your trips start?

[@TheRaffiarmen]

Congratulations!

[@DarleneAdamsaa]

[@TuaTV]

Can I go to any flight school to get my certificates and work my way up to being an airline pilot?

[@TheOtakuphill]

Yes. I started at a small mom and pop and went to atp credit private.

[@davidb-kf7hr]

Awesome !!!!

[@BigTurtleMane]

Hello Philip! I’d like to ask u a few questions regarding your aviation career. How may I contact u?

[@TheMuta71]

Man… if you are even considering going to a legacy the time to be applying is now. That wasted career earnings and seniority aren’t worth waiting for upgrade at your current shop.

[@michaelw2108]

what company is this mainline cargo amazon job

[@thepilotnetwork]

Hey man im 17 yrs old and i go to school in Lakeland florida, could i maybe meet up with you sometime i always see ur jet taking off from there every day. I have my private and my plan is to foy corporate

[@McGTexas]

Whats the vax requirements now?

[@alexanderordinary2110]

Go to the legacies? you kiddin? it takes decades to see the "big money" you're talking about.

[@TheOtakuphill]

Not sure you understand the disparities at some companies. A 2 years captain at a legacy makes more than a 6 year captain here. 1st year FOs are still making $62k. The contracts are long over due.

[@CoThG]

Mainline.... You funny.. ATI sucks

[@TheOtakuphill]

@@CoThG most companies suck in one way or another. I consider a company you can retire at and make some good money at a main line. Not too many non main lines you can fly a 767/757 at.

[@CoThG]

@@TheOtakuphill Oh really.... Let me take a stab at it. United, Delta, UPS and FedEx all fly both and ATI isn't even in the same universe as those in regards to a career.

[@TheOtakuphill]

@@CoThG would you not consider netjets, atlas, Kalina, execjet, frontier, jet blue, sun country, breeze, etc main lines? Plenty of people consider them main lines and retire from those companies.

[@TheOtakuphill]

@@CoThG the ones your talking about, delta, United, FedEx, and the like are legacy main lines.

[@CoThG]

The fact that you even ask that question shows how ignorant you are about the industry.

[@LeighAndrews-zg3sr]

Hey sir ! Is there a way I can contact you and send you a msg with a few questions ? I couldn’t find you in Instagram.

[@osmosisdaily]

I work ATI in Austin maintenance 🫡
