Routine

[@TheDiscoDinosaur]

I’ve been an airline pilot for 17 years. I don’t normally comment on videos because I don’t really know what to comment anyway. But for this video, you captured perfectly the routine during layovers. The boredom , the lack of meaningful human interaction and being away from family. I hate layovers. But I love your video. Thanks.

[@DanPKing16]

Honestly, I don’t mind them. I stay occupied enough where they’re not bad. That’s the secret.

[@Airforceproud95]

Great videos man

[@hollyb118]

Great video as always. I admire your organization, self-discipline, and time you make for a spiritual practice. So important to have spirituality in today’s challenging world.

[@andrecosta9988]

Watching this video is like watching myself from a distance during a layover. Perfectly captured. Great job 👍

[@maichauehlers2621]

I love it!!! Welcome back!!!

[@Samerootsdifferentbranches]

Love your content, this is so dope, a pilot vlogger yayyyy ❤

[@firefighter-0922]

As always: Brilliant Video! Greetings from Germany!

[@DanPKing16]

Thanks man!

[@gretchenpersinger2575]

I really enjoyed your video! But in the morning, everything is packed and ready to go before I put my uniform on, Lol... I do need to become more disciplined on my trips though. How long was that layover? Still at a regional so min rest is often a challenge. But I do lunges down the airplane aisle at a minimum!!

[@DanPKing16]

Thanks for watching! I always fully get ready before I pack because I can’t tell you how many time I’ve forgotten to get out socks or a t-shirt and have to dig back into my already packed bag for one. This particular layover was about 14 hrs but that’s definitely the exception. I do a lot of min-rest as well. I still try and maintain about the same routine even then.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing. I am glad I know what this life is in our industry. I am a former Purser Flight Attendant and yes I was so do glad I already lived in my base city before going into the industry. I did not commit at all.😊😊

[@styXv3ngeance]

Back flying? Cool!

[@DanPKing16]

Yeah man!

[@geekguyful]

Can you do an updated routine video sir?

[@DanPKing16]

I could, however, my routine has not changed too much. I guess the the biggest change is that my overnights with Delta tend to be a little longer, so I strive to go out and explore more

[@geekguyful]

@ that would be interesting to watch. Just small daily life vlogs.

[@Daddytobruce]

Perfect video. As real as it gets. Greetings and happy landings from nepal ! Btw, still waiting for the luggage works executive review video.

[@DanPKing16]

Nepal?! That’s awesome! Sorry about the delay in the executive review video. Lots going on, but it’s coming.

[@This-Is-Your-Captain]

That ringtone gives me nightmares. So much so it literally gives me anxiety. Showed this to my wife so she would know what it’s like thanks man.

[@DanPKing16]

Every time I hear it, I twitch. Glad you liked the video otherwise.

[@bsirrobin32]

What razor was that?

[@DanPKing16]

Sorry for responding so late. The company is “Supply.”

[@Aviator408.]

Dan I’ve been at a regional for over a year but considering going where you are for better work environment & family QOL. How is your QOL /experience vs. regional experience. I Would like to connect to ask further questions.

[@DanPKing16]

QOL is significantly better at NetJets than at the Regionals. Definitely happier, although I am jumping ship from NetJets soon.

[@Aviator408.]

Ok cool. So I’m guessing it’s not a long term winner? There are lots of opportunities out there.

[@DanPKing16]

It’s a great place and a great company, but you realize quickly you could make more somewhere else, working a little less.

[@Aviator408.]

@@DanPKing16 Thanks for the insight. I love your videos. God bless!

[@jazbylrosa44]

weekly videos pleaseeeeee

[@sebastianruiz9811]

does TSA or immigration give you a hard time about the removable razor?

[@DanPKing16]

A shaving razor is authorized if that’s what you mean.

[@sebastianruiz9811]

@@DanPKing16 yeah they gave me a hard time brining a safety razor into canada so i was wondering if yours was different.

[@DanPKing16]

@@sebastianruiz9811 I’ve had no problems

[@jfm562]

Those are two different razor blades. Safety razors are no go.

[@johndanger79]

Well done. I normally fast forward through people's videos, but with your videos I always watch without skipping ahead. It's fun to compare your routine to mine. Let's just say your a bit more disciplined. I will say I'm really good about pressing my uniform and plugging everything in before I head out for food and drinks. 😂

[@DanPKing16]

Thanks for watching! Honestly, there are some nights where if I get those two things done, I count it a success.

[@Zackbrooks737]

Overnight bag on the bed?! No, not unless you have two beds. I call that the eating bed. One bed, bag only aloud when packing up to leave.

[@Zackbrooks737]

Great video. I like the silence. Also, my wife said you “lost her” with the phone clip. And she likes the razor.

[@DanPKing16]

@@Zackbrooks737 They all mock the belt clip and then at the end of the trip, they ask me where I got it and how much.

[@DanPKing16]

I used to care a lot more about that. Then I realized that I walk on the carpet in the hotel with my shoes that I wear all day and then I walk on the same carpet barefoot and don't bat an eye at it.

[@Zackbrooks737]

@@DanPKing16 hahaha I bet. It’s kinda like a mini van. We have one of those too now.

[@rws0010]

No shot of the new jet? Come on bro haha

[@DanPKing16]

Perhaps down the road...

[@reggiepaulk]

I just ran across your videos… I’m entertaining a position with a regional and possibly a fractional. I saw your video about quitting Skywest and want to ask about NetJets… what do you think? Thank you!

[@DanPKing16]

Hey thanks for watching and for the comment. Unless you are dead set on flying 121, I would definitely consider going with NetJets over SkyWest. Better contract and better flying. I also think that the training at NetJets is a little better. Either road will get you to a major or a legacy if that is your end-goal.

[@reggiepaulk]

@@DanPKing16 I appreciate your reply! Are you home-based? I’ve been flying a Cessna 441 Conquest II, and commute to wherever it is. Two weeks on-two weeks off.

[@DanPKing16]

At NetJets, you would be home based. They have over 100 different bases so you would more-than-likely never commute. And if you have to hop on a commercial flight, it’s a positive space flight and you have a ticket

[@jfm562]

What are you doing for Bible study? What translation do you read?

[@DanPKing16]

During this video, I was in Ephesians and now I’m in Philippians. I use the NASB. I like the way it reads.

[@sccolamale1]

I think it’s super that the guy does spiritual study, and all of your comments are soooo nice….but c’mon….I know I cannot be the ONLY ONE that watches this guy’s videos because he is super goodlooking and hot. I mean, when he gives us glimpses of his muscular legs. OMG. I GET SPIRITUAL all of a sudden! If he ever commuted on any of my flights, I’d be too nervous to serve him. 😍😍😍

[@DanPKing16]

Interesting

[@Zackbrooks737]

First view and comment. Yes!

[@steveramos1452]

Still waiting..

[@sb859]

I need to work out more. And, wallet...front pocket. It will change your life.

[@DanPKing16]

I tried that for a while and just couldn't get on board with it.

[@troybabz]

I can't say I miss that lifestyle at all! I'm thankful to be at the airline that doesn't have layovers. Great vid, enjoyed it!

[@DanPKing16]

Thanks man! What airline are you at?
