Hi, from Japan. I will be a airline pilot trainee this April. I found your channel two years ago and you’ve been a great inspiration from that moment. I failed once, but I finally make it last year. It’s because of you, thank you.

[@alecFourTwoZero]

Congrats Sara! What an accomplishment and almost unheard of I feel like to have already flown a full on 73 by such a young age! No doubt you'll have a long, successful career that I bet will end with you flying a wide-body. So dang cool!!

Congratulations on your transition to SWA and first flight rev on the 737. Great choice on the MFK, they have some fire scents.

[@callumscott6555]

Congratulations on your first flight happy new year all best for 2024 ✈ 😍

[@joeshah8789]

This is one of the more enjoyable channels. It really feels like a "behind the scenes" view of pilot life. I think as she gains more seniority she will film more in depth of the flights.

[@peterpitrakkou3335]

Wonderful vlog Sara. Thanks so much for sharing your Pilot adventure.

[@celine1659]

Wow !! You actually made my day, congratulations on your first day 😍😊

[@kerricherelle]

Congrats on completing training and officially coming on line! So excited for you to be here - I'm Den based. Here's to seeing you around campus one day!🎉

[@Daniel-cr3gd]

I really thank you for spending time on making these videos cause I know these take a lot of time and energy. It's so inspiring to watch your videos and I sure hope to become a pilot 😊😊😊

[@effinator]

So very cool, thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@campingalan]

Hi there! Many many congrats on getting your 73 rating! That is really awesome. I operate a B350 out of Telluride CO. I see SWA over at Montrose CO all of the time. I'm glad they have began flying here all year.

[@dpglobal7021]

Happy New Year 🎊 Sara Wishing you all the Best this year. Sitting in Madeira airport heading to SFO I can’t help but look at all the 737’s this airport supports and realize you actually fly one on these lol. Soooo awesome 👏 Keep your drive of Life alive. Happy Travels ! E

[@michaelmartinez5365]

Hi Sara, congrats on your successful first 737 flight ✈️😊

[@exploirs]

Love your content. It would be great if you showed us more about the flight itself like you operating the airplane, taking off/landing. Happy new year!

[@RM-bl1wi]

that would be illegal

[@Priya-ye7lr]

Thankyou so much for making this vlog it really gives me motivation ❤

[@dpragain]

Congrats on the new job🎉

[@julietsierra111]

Hi Sara ✈️ I absolutely love watching your videos. As a student pilot myself I will start practical training in Phoenix next week - we will have a connecting flight from DEN to PHX and to be honest I‘m crossing fingers so much to have you on there and say hello - even though chances are sooo low haha! Keep on doing what you‘re doing, I‘m wishing you all the best 💛

[@wannafly34]

Congrats!!! I have a couple of friends who are captains on the airline. Hopefully you'll get to fly with them at some point!!! Happy New Year!

[@xTriinuux]

Congrats! I hope you'll vlog more often now that you've finished your training ❤

[@kat_n]

You're such an inspiration, Sara!! I'll be a pilot some day (and I'm a lot older than you are)! Congrats on your first flight!

[@officialmiguel8179]

im 18 and currently working on my instrument rating. Love general aviation but I'm so excited for the airlines!

[@kimtongo3533]

Thanks for sharing your career as a pilot!!!!!🙏☀️🙏☀️🙏☀️🙏

[@BigTinzszn]

Super excited!❤

[@flyssimulation]

Nice video, congratulations on your future endeavors with the airline! You’re a big inspiration to me and I’m finishing my PPL in a few days because of you lol. Congrats

[@videogameplayer0552]

Nice! I still have to finish the cross country requirement including solo cross country, but once I do that I should be able to get my PPL too. I’m currently at 42 hours.

[@Saramaikat]

Aww thank you! Good luck you got this!! 😄

[@Catelynmeow]

The inside of the 737 Max is so beautiful!

[@essbe7158]

Just found your channel. Really impressive for someone so young to have their stuff together. Wish I had had a plan. Hope the career goes well on the 737.

[@kayashishido1401]

Sara, over the past year, I've been observing your journey as a pilot. While I'm aware you probably receive numerous messages from aspiring young female pilots, I wanted to express my deep gratitude for being able to witness your growth. At 17, I've just started my own journey into flying, and it feels like I'm truly experiencing life for the first time. As someone who shares your background-half Japanese, half white-I've never connected with someone like you before. Your story inspires me to persevere through my high school years, anticipating the happiness and rewards that hard work will bring. Thank you immensely!

[@Saramaikat]

Your comment resonates with me, too! I started flying when I was 16, it will seem like a never-ending journey but looking back I wouldn’t have chosen to do anything else tbh! Thank you so much for your kind words 🤍🤍 I’m excited for you & wish you the best in your journey!!💘

[@kayashishido1401]

⁠@@Saramaikat Thank you so much, you are the absolute sweetest! Just know I am committed to always supporting your journey, and should success find its way to me, I look forward to crossing paths with you in the skies! 🌟✈️

[@code10garage94]

Congratulations Sara🎊👍🏽…Aloha🤙🏽

[@garyh987]

LOVE the jazz music in the background…..

[@ashikihsan1946]

Hi Sara Maika, My congratulations and good luck for your first trip on a plane as a pilot. I know you are already a successful pilot Sarah. You will be the best pilot in the world. I like your beautiful make up Sarah and the delicious foods you had. Happy New Year my friend Sarah

[@FilmsOfGreatness23]

Congrats on your first 737 flight Sara. I fly SW all the time. Hope to see you sometime.

[@Chelsea_Rene]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@akalina]

Congratulations!

[@joannekee5129]

I would love to see a video about the dress code!

[@diego_mcfunfun8191]

It’s crazy to think that we trust pilots with our literal lives, while they just regular people like all of us, just trying to fly from one point to another. It’s so cool to see haha!

[@kammyr4082]

I was so thrilled to see you wearing a scarf😂 I'm a flight attendant in pilot training..... Im going to miss my FA uniform

[@lordwiggin449]

Southwest was a great choice! That’s where I plan to be in the future!

[@mandepilot]

Sara, the next time you're at DIA and have a layover, if you're staying on Tower, please do yourself a favor and eat at DiCicco's (eat in, don't order to go). It's my fave when we stay on Tower.

[@ashtonw4389]

Looking forward to experiencing something like this

[@beyzaozdemir1834]

Hi Sara! The video is so comforting and fun to watch as always! I wonder if there is any sudden change in your schedule regarding the latest emergency within the MAX? Also can you do a video about pre-flight reading? Thank you for the awesome content, you are a true inspiration!!!💖💖

[@cynthiarodriguez2906]

You’re such a inspiration to me since I’m a aspiring female pilot l am going to start my flight classes in 2 weeks wish me luck ☺️

[@CanyonBlue737Capt]

Congratulations. Welcome to the line.

[@nicholasaviation]

OMG! Being a 737 pilot for Southwest has been my dream! You go girl!!!

[@mattmooreawm]

Lots of great restaurants in Lower Downtown Denver (LODO as locals call it). My favorite place is Hopdoddy!!

[@eddiemartinez7555]

Happy new year Sara 😊😅🎉🎉😂❤❤❤love you

[@itryharding1054]

Congrats!

[@marklisiecki5790]

You are the most beautiful, elegant, sophisticated female pilot ever :)Best wishes and Happy New Year ♥️

[@itrash3459]

As another aspiring 16 year old + 3 more years I can’t wait!

[@jaym3240]

I am currently a student pilot and I have been losing interest in aviation but your videos shows me what i am missing.

[@Dinoxt12]

Glad for you !
