[@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 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)...

The 6hr stopover turned down to a 45 minute stopover and had to go through costums there and check-in and run to the other end of the airport. Made the connecting flight just in time. At least better than the way back via Rio de Janeiro with their agressive scamming shoe shiners outside the terminal. But this airport had a very good (crowded) lounge. Still Brazil (Bahia experience only) is one of the most beautiful places i have visited. Love your videos Kelsey.

[@gunna1130]

I love that fact you take us through your lifestyle as a pilot. Not only that you just overall try to get us viewers to understand aviation which I greatly appreciate because aviation is a very fascinating way of travel. You are one of the reasons i appreciate and trust pilots so much!

[@DavidLDana]

I honestly feel that this video has given me so much info on Kelsey's work life...in a good way. Like this felt very personal and i truly enjoyed it.

[@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.

We all know it’s a great day when Kelsey uploads

[@Granny_Cat_Lady]

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.

[@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)?

[@paultownend]

I always love the vlogs - thanks for this! As a moderately frequent flyer (maybe 30-40 flights a year) who also deals with a lot of early starts and random hotels, it's really great to see the pilot perspective! I always wish I could go through the crew lines 🙂

[@LukeW-tx4sl]

I think this might've been my favorite video of yours yet. Thanks for taking us on the adventure. I really enjoyed the effort you put in to getting the variety of shots throughout the trip and give us a feel of the journey. I know it's not an easy thing to do filming surrounded by so many people but you did great appreciate the hustle. I'm starting my CPL schooling tomorrow and love watching the lifestyle videos that show us some insight and provide some inspiration. Thanks again!🍁 (Edit; one constructive thought, did the audio seem a little off though? Phone case over a microphone perhaps? Still loved the video!)

[@roxannlegg750]

[@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.

[@TheMomentEnds1]

Those views over the Andes were spectacular. I traveled throughout Chile in 1997, what an amazing country, the stars at night in the Andes southern sky are beyond description.

[@TXMEDRGR]

It's fun to see behind the scenes. I've sat by pilots on flights a few times and it is interesting to hear their take on flying.

[@ashleighsteaparty268]

It was your charm Kelsey! We ladies love a man that is able to hold a casual conversation without being creepy and gross!

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

If you are a guy, trying to have casual conversations (something in the past generations was just basic manners) can land you in the creepy camp just because someone has a chip on their shoulder. I remember one trip where I sat next to a woman and it was going to be a 3 hour flight. I am in my 40's and she was in her 20's for context. I never made an advancement to this young lady. I simple asked "Since we are both heading to the same destination, do you know where the hot spots are in the area where young people like yourself enjoy the nightlife?" I was asking because I took the trip feeling old and unwanted at turning 40 and though checking on the young party scene could be fun. I was told to my face "Eww. Stop talking to me to you old creep". I didn't say another word for the next 2 hours and even 3 years later I remember the words and how it felt. All I'm saying is be kind to each other. Words hurt,

[@ashleighsteaparty268]

@@SSingh-nr8qz She sounds like an awful person and not worth your time to be honest!

[@fernmoss3539]

Sounds to me like you are nervous speaking to young women. Instead of starting a serious conversation, say something completely neutral. People often start talking about the weather or something else inconsequential. Be relaxed and friendly. Sometimes it's best not to even look at a person at the first part of the conversation. If you're nervous say that you're nervous. That will help to explain your body language. If the person is sporting something out of the usual, compliment it.

[@hayleyxyz]

the opposite sex isn't a different species, just be polite, respectful and conversationally cautious as you would with any stranger, but otherwise open and friendly.

[@hamsterama]

​@@SSingh-nr8qz Speaking as a woman here, that is a pretty creepy thing to say. I know you didn't mean it that way, but you don't start off a conversation like that. You seem to be implying that young lady was rude and hurt your feelings, but the fact of the matter is that you likely scared her. You gotta learn how to talk with women. If an older dude said something like that to me, I'd presume that he's a creepy guy trying to look for a barely legal girl for a one-night stand. You should save that type of question for the concierge at your hotel. Instead, stick to safe topics, like the things you look forward to on your upcoming trip, your experiences with the TSA, how easy or hard it was to book your tickets, funny anecdotes about your trip to the airport, your pets, etc.

[@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.
