Passenger Kicked Off My Flight

[@usaturnuranus]

The thing I really like about Kelsey's videos is how he takes us through the whole lifestyle of being a commercial pilot. Not just the technical details of how and when to rotate, gears up, flaps, etc, etc, but also the nagging little day to day things that are not at all glamorous, but that professional air crews constantly have to deal with. Gives me a lot of appreciation for these folks who we trust with our lives.

[@NikolaiUA]

he actually has virtually no technical details, unfo

[@usaturnuranus]

@@NikolaiUA Well, to be fair he does do occasional analysis of various aircraft incidents and accidents, in which he (naturally) explains these details. I agree that those are not his usual video format, but still, he does provide some of this. Regardless, I think we would both agree that those are not really typical for his channel, and most of the time he is relating his personal experiences. And that angle keeps me interested.

[@hamsterama]

@@usaturnuranus I agree! I absolutely love Kelsey's vlogs. I also love all the personal anecdotes he shares in his analyses videos. It's so fascinating to get a peek into the day-to-day life of commercial pilot. I fly several times a year as a passenger. With the locked cockpit doors and all that, it's easy to forget that there are actual humans up in front, controlling the plane. Also, Kelsey knows that his audience is the general public, and I'm glad he doesn't get too deep into the technical details. The average person, myself included, would have trouble understanding that stuff.

"these folks who we trust with our lives" Just curious...do you say the same thing about your Uber driver, bus driver, or any friend who gives you a ride? How about the people who inspect the meat you buy at the grocery store, or the chef who prepares your meal at a restaurant? The electrician who wired your house? The mechanic who replaces your brake pads?

I even racked up almost 80K in debt 15 years ago trying to solve this with (useless) doctors... had to file bankruptcy as a result... Even if I have nothing happening, I can only sleep 3-4 hours at a time, 5-6 absolute tops, and that's only after not sleeping for 48 hours and climbing 14ers all week... I have cut my caffeine intake down to only 4-6 ounces of coffee per day, attempting to eliminate it entirely. It seems to be helping: I have also found a ton of research showing how any amount of caffeine consumed regularly 'accumulates' (the body gets used to it- I forget the term they used) and has detrimental effects on long term sleep... their hypothesis is this is why elderly people have a hard time sleeping, because of all the coffee they drank in their 20's and 30's... Not sure if I believe all that, but I am on a mission to eliminate caffeine! Honestly, the only other thing I have tried that has helped with sleep has been my recent adventure into the Carnivore diet... all animal based diet. still only 5-6 hrs, but that sure beats the 1-2 hours of sleep I was getting when I was a vegetarian and the 3-4 on a "regular" healthier than most american's diet. (I have literally been trying, and will continue to try EVERYTHING that might help- legally that is)... My hope is to figure this out- perhaps use this to help people (pilots mainly) find better ways of battling fatigue and lack of sleep, than what the currently literature holds.

I love how humble Kesley remains - he’s probably one of the world’s most recognisable pilots, but he seemed to think that lady in the lift was just being nice despite not knowing he’s a pilot - Darling, if she’s watched KZbin then she KNOWS you’re a pilot 😂

[@MrDvo77]

Yes he is!! Also Juan Brown, is also pretty awesome

[@sebastiang7394]

Or you know she was just being nice. It’s not like I don’t have conversations like that from time to time and I‘m neither famous nor particularly good looking.

[@Chris-fn4df]

Seemed like a normal amount of friendly to me.

[@lucialuciferion6720]

I think pilots are arrogant often, like he admits, it's not appealing in the least. Don't see the appeal in pilots personally.

[@lucialuciferion6720]

@@Chris-fn4df It was. He's just arrogant.

[@Boogledigs]

This is the first of your videos that I've seen, and it was riveting. Love the way you explain each aspect. I found it so entertaining and am very happy to subscribe.

[@atatterson6992]

Riveting? What are your hobbies? Just curious...

[@KansaSCaymanS]

4:05 “Oh man!” I guess even Kelsey can be impressed by another pilot’s “soft” landing. 😂 Beautiful footage of the mountains flying into Santiago. 😎👍

[@2yldy]

It seems like a pretty nice *butter* landing

[@steveanderson9290]

I wonder what's more mentally challenging, flying the plane, or the personal logistics on the ground? Kelsey seems to be highly competent at both.

[@jonathanbair523]

I would say flying..... Some of the airports when you gotta taxi look like they are going all over the place to be put in a holding spot till there gate opens up... Then there is also weather and flight changes in air.

[@jimbopaw]

Flying a plane you train for, personal logistics seem to be shifting all the time and you need to improvise.

[@blah7983]

The answer is actually taxiing the plane.

[@matthewwarlin7421]

Free food and sleep. Wise man.

[@bob1234881]

Taxiing, I think flying is only hard when things go wrong.

[@shinystones]

I am always friendly and polite with cabin crew....why not be friendly and polite? They are there to serve and care for their passengers and we should be grateful. It makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

[@monolith1337]

And this positive attitude and behaviour creates a positive feedback loop and everyone levels up and has a great time.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, I’ve never understood rudeness. It really bothers me.

[@jamesoverholt878]

But I NEED to speak to the manager NEOW!

[@tookitogo]

And in my experience, the cabin crew always reciprocates friendliness and appreciation. I haven’t paid for booze onboard in _years_ simply by always being nice to the crew.

[@ai_is_a_great_place]

This might be the first vlog I've watched in years and wow it was really well done! This was actually phenomenal!!

[@gwendolyncarter5668]

Omgosh. I've not been able to watch in awhile. Then I log on and notice youre at over a mil subs now! Good for you my friend! You work hard, it shows and you deserve it! Couldn't happen to a nicer person, more deserving KZbinr!!! 🙏🤗💗

[@peacepantherproductions]

I like seeing these from the pilots perspective as you’re walking around an airport.

[@irishcurse65]

Love the behind the scenes stuff. Keep these coming

[@hyperthreader]

Great video! I don't get to fly long haul often, but this reminded me of one of the best flights I've had which was Chicago to Sao Paulo on a United 777 in business. It also reminded me of the preceding flight I took that day from Pittsburgh to O'Hare... the only time I've encountered a let's say "aggressive" flight attendant. I was in an exit row window seat focused on plane spotting and the flight attendant gave the "are you willing and able to assist" speech while we were still boarding, the plane was noisy, and I completely missed it. Next thing I knew she was pulling me into the aisle to be reseated and I had no idea why. I figured out what happened and she wasn't interested in anything I said until I pointed out that it was her job to get everyone's attention before giving that statement. She then let me go, gave the statement again, I said "Yes" and got to sit back in my window exit row seat.

[@celaowen4831]

Thanks for posting your travels as a pilot. Makes one of my Dreams come vicariously with you. Blessings

I say the same thing about Colombian woman!

[@VAClaimInfo]

This is EXACTLY why PassportBros exist in the USA. Screw the typical Insta/TikTok (Western) woman entitlement.

[@airbornemike380]

Another great vlog. Kelsey, you content and edits have become so good. Hard not to watch them from the start all the way to the end in one go.

[@fleet1stltd326]

These are the vlogs I enjoy, watching day to day flying rather than the reaction videos Kelsey does.

[@davegrundgeiger9063]

I love them both! Don't take away my reaction videos! 😆

[@Jane-vo5qc]

Love your videos, I’m fascinated by aircraft and you explain everything so thoroughly. Thanks for sharing 🛫👍😊

[@daleunroe6074]

a long while ago doing a second job as I started out in business ...I used to load a DHL 747 Asia flight out of CVG - it was cool seeing the inside and the deck again - a very unique plane to load compared to all others

[@andyroid5028]

*_At _**_8:38_**_, "Goodness gracious." LOL Kelsey sees firsthand that the voluptuous reputation of the 'girls of Brazil' is not a myth. : )_*

[@suegardner]

I love your relaxed delivery and your crafty moves! Hope you keep making these vlogs !

[@fernmoss3539]

So glad that Kelsey is allowed to use his camera while he is working! Great to see inside of the cockpit. Beautiful video of the mountains. Sorry that Kelsey was not able to video some of the passenger being put off of the plane. Would have liked to see more of that even if faces were blurred out. Can't help but wonder if the woman on the elevator recognized Kelsey. If not actually recognized him consciously maybe she just thought he looked familiar.

[@fjb4932]

And why " blur their faces" ? They are criminals, causing problems, in public. Show their faces. Don't worry, they have no shame . . . ☆

[@jonathanbair523]

I bet she was like "Oh that is a trip I want to go on."..... Now for me if I go on a trip to anywhere it would be country's like Canada, Sweden/Norway that has the cold....

[@barbaraperry5023]

​@@jonathanbair523Oooo, you must be somewhere warm! My sister from India was thinking of visiting me in FEBRUARY - she reconsidered when I told her how it is in W NY that time of year...😱

[@xfirehurican]

Go for it, Kelsey! I carried a US diplomatic passport for ~22 years. Over hundreds of worldwide flights, whether on official or unofficial travel, unashamedly, I always went for the diplomatic or crew checkpoints - and was never turned away. 😊

[@PsRohrbaugh]

Wow. That's awesome! Do you mind saying what sort of job gets you a diplomatic passport for two decades?

I carried a D-1 for a couple of years, it did make life easier on a couple of occasions.

[@ralphholiman7401]

I was a US federal agent for twenty one years (FBI and DEA). We were required to fly armed when on duty, and allowed to fly armed off duty, on US flights. And, I flew armed on a few international flights (when flying to countries that allowed us to carry firearms). The pros, was getting to walk to the head of the security lines and getting to board before everyone else so you could introduce yourself to the captain and crew. The con was, you couldn't drink alcohol before flying or on the flight. And, if there was a problem passenger, you would sometimes be asked to deal with it (my partner had to handcuff and sit on an out of control drunk half a flight one time).

[@PsRohrbaugh]

@@ralphholiman7401 Wow that's so cool. Thanks for the reply!

[@kystars]

I just now saw this and really enjoyed it. I think Kelsey is really such a cool guy and always shares his experience as a pilot and more. I have learned so much watching his videos. :)

[@cathypreston1095]

Bless your heart Pilot Kelsey! We need you out there. Thank you for all that you do.

[@jovetj]

That's _Captain_ Kelsey now!

[@loganradinovich1127]

I’m in training at the moment to become a pilot. It’s a lot of fun and I love it but it’s also a lot of work. I question sometimes if I’m doing the right thing. I always come back to “yes” but I still do. Your videos are always so helpful in my confidence that I’m on the right track. Thank you for all the cool creative videos you make!

[@ralph601]

This "let me show you my day" video is great. more of your day vids are fun to watch and very informational on the life of a pilot. Thank you for all you do. And keep your blue sky up.

Always excellent content, Kelsey. Thanks for giving us a real insight into the industry and what happens on a day-to-day basis!

[@Rupe51]

Super interesting! Bring more on like this! Not that I don't like your analyses of incidents, but this is great too, learning about your lifestyle as a pilot. Thanks!

[@Blue-Blazes]

I met this guy back in May at the FBO Atlantic Avation at LAX. We talked for a few minutes. He flies for Atlas. The first thing i noticed was his shoulder boards. Not only is he a captain but he is a line check airman. He told me. That takes a great deal of seniority to become a line check airman. He made Captain back in 2012.

[@kimberlywoodbury1739]

What is a line check airman (but there must be line check airwomen too)?

[@lakeireland]

The pilot/not-a-pilot gig gets me everytime.

[@obadiahkaemmerling1474]

How editing and music can create suspense like an action film, I love it.

[@Flora-x3g]

I don't know how he got a picture of his own plane taking off while he was on it. That's talent.
