THREE DAYS AS AN AIRLINE PILOT w/special guest CAPTAIN CHRIS

[@brettsbaker]

Paul, just want to say finding your KZbin channel has lowkey been one of my best online finds of the year. Not only are you an airline pilot, but you’ve become an excellent storyteller. Both of which are exceedingly cool, but it’s the amount of heart, with a dose of vulnerability & optimism, that you do it with that, for me, makes it must see viewing. This is a long way about saying thanks for sharing a bit of your experience with us. All the best!

[@mylayoverlife]

Wow, thank you!

[@tigerlord600]

well said man! I am in agriance with you.

[@flo3467]

Just a little hint: Don't explain why you didn't film your vacation! No need to justify, vacation and family time are more than valid reasons for you to not make content. When you post the next video, we'll be here waiting. Greetings from a European colleague 🙂

[@mylayoverlife]

Good point! Appreciate you!

[@lijohnyoutube101]

While true I am glad he said that. Especially for younger generations it normalizes that it is okay not to film!

[@craigsteelx]

Captain Chris is a legend. Always responds to me on instagram. So engaging, so genuine. I’m also stealing “Aviate, Navigate, Be Nice”. I’ll be teaching that to all my students. Thanks as always Paul for the incredible content.

[@mylayoverlife]

Words to live by. 🤙🏻

[@merlefinch-browm6781]

Captain Chris of Virgin Atlantic! Great Gentleman 🙌✈💙

[@brandonthedeaf]

“I’m proud of you and don’t forget to believe.” Man, that was powerful. Thank you.

[@mylayoverlife]

Good to hear!

[@WRVonEngel]

It was great running into you on your leg from Newark to Minneapolis during this video! I love your content and your positive energy and calmness. And, anyone who wonders what Paul is like when you meet him in person - he actually really is that nice a guy! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! w.

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate you!! Great seeing you as well!

[@TheChosenOnelive]

Paul, it is evident in your work the amount time and heart that is put in to each video. Thank you for taking us on your story, your work is so beautiful.

[@mylayoverlife]

Wow, thank you

[@elexbeats]

Came for a cockpit video, left with so many gems discussed in that pub. “Moments are more precious than items” is something I would never forget.

[@CptFritz]

Probably your best vlog so far, originally came for the scheduling stuff you showed in your videos but stayed for the travel vlogs or the conversations like in this vid!

[@mylayoverlife]

Wow, thanks!

[@mlagirl]

United family here. I’m retired and your vlogs bring back such good memories. Thank you for doing this. Subscribed and loving it!! 🥰🥰

[@MatthewAllen-i1t]

I just got hired by southwest in Austin as a customer service representative. I been in the industry 5 years with other airlines and I love it . Captain you really inspire me and I’d love to meet you over food and drinks sometime

[@diskolilfinesse6520]

thank you so much for this I'm 27 currently looking to become a pilot, this video gave me so much inspiration

[@StevenAbernathy-km6gq]

I just found your channel today. My father was an Eastern Airlines/US Air pilot for 30 years. I am 48 and home bound due to health issues. It’s easy to get depressed in my condition. However, your videos are really lifting my spirit. Thank you!

[@AmireDivine55]

Success isn't about wins or losses but rather being the best version of yourself - @ My Layover life ( Paul) well said ❤- Sir!

[@mylayoverlife]

Thank you!

[@adammoser4227]

Thank you for helping me with my fear of flying, I've been flying to and from Canada from Georgia, seen 4 Provinces and have been 10 flights, loving it

[@zach9373]

Your talent at storytelling makes these so enjoyable to watch. I only have a PPL but this is the kind of stuff I always dreamed of when I started my training.

[@laurafortuna5417]

This video was such a gem! ✨such encouraging words from Captain Chris on career & life, really inspiring ♥️

[@randyfiles9980]

As a long-time fan, I can honestly say your content is great and getting even better!!

[@perockus2965]

Can't help but feel good when I watch your videos.

[@mylayoverlife]

Glad to hear that! ✈️

[@cher_blue_chavez]

I absolutely love your content. I am DEN based FA for United and I am pretty junior. I just started flying last year as a second career! Your vlogs make me remember to have fun and be my authentic self, so thank you!

[@mylayoverlife]

Amazing. 💙

[@the_wonk]

Love this, Captain Chris should have his own YT Channel!

[@captainchrisYT]

I would if I had the spare time.

[@lndrvrus]

I feel like I had a seat at the table eating fish n chips and was part of the conversation. Thank you Paul for this content and introducing Capt Chris to those of us that don't follow him on IG. Cheers to more adventures.

[@mylayoverlife]

Love that perspective. 🤙🏻

[@EcoFlightAttendant]

another airline employee here- just wanted to say how impressed I am by the number of shots and quality editing you have done to tell a story. I know how dang difficult it is, especially when you're working and rushing through airports, and I have to say your video not only inspires me, but makes me not want to give up on my YT journey. Quick q- do you carry around a full sized tripod? again thank you for the great content, I can definitely see how much work you put into your videos ✈

[@mylayoverlife]

I don’t generally carry a full tripod unless I know I’m going to use it, like when I recorded the interview with Captain Chris.

[@JJB_12371]

Just a brilliant video - thank you for the inspiration!

[@vbnvufiufkvkjh]

The way you narrate these makes all the difference! I really love your videos.

[@mylayoverlife]

I appreciate that!

[@DONSTRAPZALOT]

I spent my £150,000 in 2011 to get my frozen ATPL, I then waited over 10 years to land my first job flying passenger Jets, no matter how long the wait just BELIEVE, it will ALL BE WORTH IT!!!! ✈️✈️❤️❤️❤️

[@mylayoverlife]

Love this.

[@imzeus3865]

Paul, I recently found your channel and have spent countless hours watching your vlogs. I am addicted. You seem to be a really genuine person who would be fun to fly with. I love how you spend your layovers and how you include your crews on the outings. Them wanting to go with you speaks volumes. I really enjoyed this one! You are a guy that it would be a pleasure to sit down and talk over drinks. Keep up the fantastic job!

[@JamesAeroScotland]

Paul, sincere thanks from a very happy Scotsman, your channel brings me such joy! Keep up the good work. ✈️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@pathfinder-eatingonearth1323]

Just saw your United Airlines Commercial here near Ontario, CA international Airport. Well done. 🛫 Makes me wanna fly somewhere. I’ll be sure to fly United next.

[@hazelsmith3897]

I have been waiting for this since you posted it on Instagram. ❤❤❤

[@IrishDave]

As someone from Ireland living in the US, please do a VLOG on Shannon. There's so much to see around there, I know people in County Clare and would gladly connect you with them.

[@outdoorlightingdesigns762]

Good morning Paul, this is Rodrigo, we met a few times at EWR, looking forward to this video. Thanks for your great work.

[@mylayoverlife]

Yes! Great to hear from you!

[@SUSIEB0812]

Hi Capt Paul👋🏼I’m always excited to see where you’re taking us next on KZbin! And you never disappoint…loved this video! Sending much love to you & your sweet family! 💕💕💕

[@gtwlaw81]

Filmed you from inside the LHR Cathay T3 lounge on Friday taking off from 27R. Have followed you on KZbin for a while, fun to see your takeoff roll in real life. Keep up the videos. Lovely, positive, insight to life as a pilot.

[@mylayoverlife]

That is awesome!

[@andrewholsapple407]

I think a video based on your personal thoughts on managing difficult situations in life would be awesome! You have a lot of people that look up to you, including me! It would make it interpersonal and give us a good feel to how you handle things (on or off the aircraft) I’m thinking more like personal matters such as maybe, loss, relationships, just something in the realm of that! Either way, another great video! 😊

[@kylejtam]

I’m glad that highway entry ramp plane spotting shot worked out! Great collab and great vlog! Keep inspiring us future pilots!

[@mylayoverlife]

Me too. 😂

[@safferms]

Paul, my second comment on this vid. Sadly, Ted Lasso's not available here in EU where I am. Because you mentioned this series, I DL'd it and watched S1 thru 3 in two days. I LOVED IT! Great suggestion! Thanx.

[@planely1263]

It is sooo amazingly beautiful to listen to you chatting away in this pub. So many truths, so many stories untold...

[@ianhiles8706]

What a great video and some great discussion ... Two absolute legends on social media ... and two genuinely nice guys that you hope will fly you somewhere and you get the chance to shake their hand at the end of the flight ... Thank you !

[@slimjim3280]

Good video! ha it does go junior. I try to go there once per year just to stay current. Pacific flying is just so much easier. cheers

[@mylayoverlife]

I bet. One day I’ll head further west than Hawaii. 🤙🏻

[@runarandersen878]

It is something with London, that makes you go back. I have been there many times and keep returning as well. It is expensive, but still. It is also a city that can attract people with different interests, can do completely different things and have a good time.

[@danielmantovani272]

Man, what an immeasurable conversation! Very good to see the connections that the world of aviation can bring, as always an excellent video!

[@jamiescott1169]

What a beautiful uplifting video thank you great insight into a pilots life I shall defo be going to the pub in Richmond 🫶

[@MustJetContrails]

Great conversation with Capt. Chris, Paul. Your videos continue to impress me (and the general/flying public!), and I’m sure inspire many. Also, your PA announcements with the iconic 76 cockpit sound still give me chills. ❤🔥👌🏼✈️🛬

[@coreyjordan2745]

Hey, Paul. Been following you for a while. I really appreciated what "Captain Chis" said in London. "Everything is possible" Very encouraging. Thank you, brother. In Pursuit of PPL. Currently, studying for FAA written test.

[@mylayoverlife]

I appreciate you man! Good to hear you’re on your way!! ✈️

[@toddwhite7752]

Not a pilot but love seeing how pilots do there jobs and your fun adventures...Was always nervous about flying till i found your channel...SKOL VIKINGS

[@sammilburn445]

this was such a good watch and such a nice little break from studying during ground school. just makes the future seme even more exciting

[@mylayoverlife]

[@Chrysalis927]

Always on the move Captain, it’s absolutely fascinating watching your content! Very well put together. Thanks for always taking us along the ride!!

Got into aviation because of this channel. I’ll be getting my private pilot license now that fire season is over thanks for the videos!

Hello i've been following you on utube,do you ever post your flights before hand,so i can follow you on flight radar. Thanks.

[@loucuevas3867]

My 52 years in aviation is coming to an end in two months. I still love it. I’ll stay in it by following you. Thanks for your channel.

[@DONSTRAPZALOT]

[@satpreetsodhi]

One more thing I forgot to add. You as a person are so inspirational. You have the ability to motivate people. I love what you said. " Being the best version of yourself" Grest piece of advice. And just as you are proud of us, we too are proud of you, who you are. Stay the way you are! And you are so right; BELIEVE!!

[@FTWciaran]

Fantastic video and a great conversation with Captain Chris. Really enjoyed.

[@AviatorSupreme]

Thank you, Paul for giving us such a wonderful insight to your life as a pilot. It really gives me motivation to become a pilot when when I see the beautiful experiences you have (besides the fact that I love flying)! I took my discovery flight yesterday and I loved every second of it! Thanks for inspiring me and many others to become pilots.

[@mylayoverlife]

That’s so good to hear!

[@frankfarrelly5215]

Great video Paul and as always from the heart and meaningful. Hope one day we cross paths safe travels ✈️

Adjourning to a pub to confide in a British colleague after a long flight is amazing. Fantastic footage as always Paul!

Gosh your videos are just SO good. Positive, inspiring, and full of great content. Also love the outtakes!

[@mylayoverlife]

Thanks so much!!

[@jasonchimes8838]

Great video Paul loved it. Welcome to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@amfwelsh]

Absolutely love this. Two interesting guys having a chat. I also love that flight into Newark.

[@smXXVI]

Great video! I look at every jet that flies overhead and often think about how challengingly rewarding a career in aviation would be!

[@Ken_Leivonen]

Hi Paul! Thank’s for another great video! They are always informative. Looks like you will be crossing the 150K Subscriber point very soon, congratulations on that. Ken

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate you being here!

[@lebobo4532]

Next year I'll try the ENAC exam to have the luck to attend to the all-paid public airline pilot training here in France. Will be tough yet I'm still fighting more than ever and this thanks to you and people like Chris. You're giving hope to thousands of teens worldwide like me and you gather us around aviation, hope and all the passion we share for this wonderful industry. So thanks for the video and the talk with Chris, it was amazing and just continue to make us dream cap :)

[@marv703]

What a great video! I enjoyed your little chat with captain Chris so much! It was very inspiring. The storytelling was also great! Keep it up!

Hi Paul, great to see another great video! Always appreciate the insight that you’re able to provide. I wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you have been to me! I will actually be going to St.Paul for my commercial rating at the end of June. Content like yours is what has kept me going chasing the dream! Thanks again!

[@lonnieann8536]

Pilots, Pints & Planes. Love your videos!!!

[@mylayoverlife]

I like it.

[@CraigZeigler]

Being a pilot is so very rewarding and many who are working through their journey using mainly creativity and learning how to live as cheaply as possible. I started my journey when I was in my late 30s and am still doing my main career. Flight lessons are crazy expensive, solo time as a rental is also crazy expensive but its worth it. $200/hr for the plane, plus $60/hr for the CFI.

[@DiamondOrPoor78]

Really high production quality on this one, loving the longer video aswell!!

[@tiaanbredenhann771]

I really enjoy your channel. I am a FO on A320 and I just got my green card and moving to the US in a month, super excited. Cool layover. Thanks for the cool content.

[@mylayoverlife]

Amazing! Thank you for watching!

[@samtakhandhia1012]

This may have been my favorite episode yet you are always inspiring positive and showing me something new. We have been fortunate to travel most of my life and living here in California it's a very quick non-stop trip to hawaii. If we need to get away for 5 to 7 days we often pop over and visit friends. It is great fun at this stage of my life to be able to take my grandkids places we first saw as kids ourselves. I am thankful, I am grateful, and I believe❤

[@mylayoverlife]

[@TheParapente74]

Always nice to watch your videos ! I used to be base in Stansted for Ryanair and lived in London. I have to say, London is a great city. If you want to see something new I would recommand the Upmarket Brick Lane Food Hall (open the weekend) with, downstairs, the vintage market (just next to Liverpool street station). The food experience is awesome and the vintage market is kind of an experience ;)

[@jmcmillen19]

I will never miss the pandemic. I was blessed (Ramp agent for a major US Carrier) that I didnt have to take a furlough. But I just remember how quiet the ramp was at times (and I work in SEA) I remember getting excited for 40 bags, or 50 bags on an A321 then the 40/50 finally turned to 70/80 then 90/100 then bam most of our guys were coming back and we were 120-130 bags. Now with the boats back we are happy when its 120 bags (most flighfs 150-180) thank you pax for coming back

We are the ANSP for BGGL FIR, even though its for flights below FL195, we love to chat with you guys flying high above us. Just ask for Junior, and if im not on the radio, my collegues will get me if im on duty. Freqs 121,300 if in the south, or 120,300 if over the northern part.

Paul, your vids are awesome. They are an inspiration to my 12yr old who wants to fly. As en ex Air Force ATC'er all I have is a PPL but he wants to go full ATPL/CPL...not sure which is best for the long-haul (no pun intended) here in Europe. Also, you have such a gentle spirit that is commendable and your family values separate you from the chaotic in the world today. Keep up the inspirational, motivational and interesting vids.
