THREE RESOURCES FOR NERVOUS FLYERS // Swiss Alps Adventure

[@GeneBrotherton-z6q]

Hello Paul, retired UA pilot here. Just discovered your channel today. Don't know why it took so long, but glad I made it. I watched some of your earlier stuff and was surprised how much we had in common. You do such a great job of relating to the world what you're doing and feeling. Makes me remember why I loved having the best job in the world. I too started young, got my private license in high school. Went the military route for the rest of my flight training. Flew F-8 Crusaders in Vietnam, got hired by Continental. Frank Lorenzo messed up Continental for a lot of us, so I ended up at United. Most of my career as right seater on the 747-400. Commuted my entire career, so I feel ya. Can't believe you did the Canyon thing. Always thought I might want to skydive, 'til I had to eject from a dead Crusader over the South China Sea. Okay, don't care if I ever do that again. Anyway, keep up the fantastic KZbin work and I'll keep watching. PS Retired in 2007 as 57/67 Captain!

People fear what they don’t know so watching pilot podcast, check rides, IFR IMC flights, bush pilots, and listening to ATC has helped a ton! Your channel is the best because it gives behind the scenes footage and the breakdown of your day. My friend has been flying with United for 31 years out of San Francisco and hates not being able to go to JFK to visit me lol. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@GeorgeConner69420]

My fear is really just heights. I hate being in a tube 30+ thousand feet in the air and having my life in the hands of people I have never met lol. I still do it, but I just hate it. I can never sleep and just have extreme anxiety the entire time. The feeling of wheels on the ground is one of the best

[@Emzzz78]

Same!! However, the feeling of getting out of the tube is better than the wheels on the ground for me. Only on the way home though. Flights to my destination, I don’t struggle as bad as I do on flights back home. Strange, but true

[@doctorream]

As a psychologist who routinely treats specific phobia of flying, I really enjoyed your video. A lot of work in the beginning involves "psychoeducation" about phobia, the body's response, and erroneous appraisals of the "threat" of flying. I like how you emphasize having people get more fact-based information such as information related to turbulence, and also humanizing the experience of flying where its to everybody's advantage to experience safe flying so we all get to see our families. P.S. - I have to check out that Illy cold brew, it looked amazing!

[@bernardkennedyIV]

Another excellent video Paul from start to finish. Really enjoy your style of videos and your content. You are a consummate professional and it’s really nice to see the human side of things with spending time with family, enjoying your career, exploring new layover spots with great crew. I think every time I watch one of these videos I learn something different and reflect on how to create similar memories in my own life. Thanks for taking us along for the trip, and look forward to the next one!

[@bradya4914]

Retired FAA (Air Traffic Control) after 27 years; SLC, DEN, SEA. I really enjoy your channel and content. Keep up the good work!

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate you being here! Thank you!

[@ianhiles8706]

What a nice video ... its great to see the crew interacting and having a great layover ... and not a flock of birds in sight :)

[@mylayoverlife]

Right?! 😂

[@VictorSilva-b9d]

7:37 Don't stop with videos,great inspiration can't wait to be on ur flight again to porto

[@mamaloveshercats]

I am so glad you said what I have always thought... When the plane is shaking and going through the rough places on the air and made me nervous, I always told myself "trust the pilots... trust the pilots... I am sure they have loved ones waiting and would want to go home to them..." Thank you so much!

[@mylayoverlife]

We’re also up there sipping coffee during that time. 😉

[@imzeus3865]

I love your sense of adventure! Your crew must get excited when they see that you are on their trip. Enjoyed this very much, Paul!

[@mylayoverlife]

I don’t know if that’s true or not but everyone is welcome to come along!

[@telegraphable]

The thing that helped my fear of flying the most was on United over a decade ago. I don't know if they still do it, but there used to be a channel on the inflight entertainment where you could listen to the pilots in the cockpit. Hearing how calm everyone was and all of the conversations about trying to find smooth air during turbulence helped me realize how commonplace it is and that the pilots were always trying to help us have a more comfortable flight. That, watching KZbin videos like these, and flying a lot more often have pretty much cured my nerves!

[@mylayoverlife]

We still have that on some flights. You can access it from the setback monitor, I think it’s called “From the flight deck.”

[@reyesben]

There is a lot of love poured into this video. Thank you.

[@FsnGoldandSilver]

I was a phobic flyer for many years. Tried everything even flying lessons. It started diminishing over time and then I tried visualization and desensitization therapy. It worked almost immediately and today I am a fear free flier.

[@FernandoVaz-i4g]

Hello Paul, I’m living in Geneva, I’m from Porto Portugal, I really appreciate your videos!!!! I really hope you continue to make this wonderful stories of your trips, all the best for you and all your family 😊

[@hungo7720]

Anyone who is afraid of flying will be reassured and enticed by your footage Paul. A superb video as always!

[@williamdeveson2673]

Hey Paul, you’re really great at story telling, it’s one of my favorite parts of your videos. It’s cool to see the united ops as an FO from another major, but I always stay for the unique messages you tell.

[@corinardh8635]

❤your video. Never miss

[@mxjet1]

Your videos make me remember how much I love and appreciate the airline employee life. Me and my family also realize how lucky we are to travel and see the world. I have been to this region before and everyone needs to see it. Thank You ,and looking forward to running into you one day in EWR to say thank you again face to face .

[@mylayoverlife]

It’s the best and craziest life. 🤙🏻

[@RoyalGuthington]

Just adore you and your family. Thank you for sharing all of your trips with us !

[@karolrust2300]

I'm sharing this with my adult children who both are very anxious about flying. Thank you Paul for providing resources and showing us how beautiful this world is through your travel!! 😊🌍✈

[@hendrikdevries9725]

Loving your professionalism, your adventures, the challenges, the travels!

[@Oompa_Lampuh]

Always a good start to the day when you upload new videos! Safe travels!

[@christineramseyer4721]

The one thing that has helped me when I fly is KZbin videos like yours and other airline crew members. Thank you, Paul.

[@EcoFlightAttendant]

I love the way you can tell a story and weave it seamlessly in with great advice. What a fun layover, thank you for sharing! Definitely adding this to my layover bucket list! Safe travels ✈️

[@susanspence3029]

That was crazy, I can see the appeal. Thanks for sharing your tips for nervous flyers (my husband). Really enjoy your vlog!

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate you watching!

[@vinnyperix1808]

Your videos have helped me get over a lot of my fears, Thank You!

[@nickk4010]

So cool, I was right there in Lauterbrunnen and Wengen/ Interlaken last Sept. Absolutely love that area! Great videos Paul hope to see you one day when I'm flying United!

[@mrrs8118]

My son-in-law airline captain has helped alleviate a lot of my fear of flying. He answers all of my questions and I watch a lot of aviation-related videos and I listen to ATC frequently. Lucky me….I am going on a trip to Kauai in a few days in the company of my daughter and son-in-law!! Otherwise, I might be a little freaked out about flying over the ocean. But I’m actually looking forward to it. Thanks for your fun videos!

[@MainStageGuru]

Paul, Your videos are simply inspiring. I honestly look forward to each of your releases so I can add more destinations to my bucket list. Thanks for all you do!

[@itsnotme07]

Yep, Paul has just got his crazy certification! LOL Nicely done!!

[@alexnail7779]

Paul, I came across your channel last night and have spent the last day making my way through your channel. I worked at seatac for about a year and a half and it sparked a lifelong interest in aviation that continues to this day. Your channel is incredible and the positivity you spread through your videos is remarkable. If you ever find yourself in the Seattle area again I'd love to say hi. - Alex

[@lawbreaker33]

Love your channel, and good luck with EDI tonight, John

[@suetodd7789]

Thank you, Paul. You are so sweet and calming and your style of your video is wonderful.

[@navcop33]

Awesome video Paul! Keep it up! 🛫

[@EffSharp]

I used to be crippled by fear so badly that I once had a screaming crying meltdown during turbulence. 😂 I said “enough of this” and decided to do all I could to get over it. I read a book about aviation and learned how to meditate and now I actually LOVE flying. Even turbulence doesn’t scare me anymore. ❤

[@lakeishaturner9847]

Thank you. Your videos have really helped with my flying anxiety. I've cancelled trips in the past when it's gotten really bad.

[@knflack]

Thank you for this video, Captain Paul. I think my next European adventure will definitely be Switzerland, as that jump looks exhilarating. I likely won’t be on any of your flights because my home is SFO and I try to book non-stop, but I look forward to my next United flight to Europe.

[@iamchuggins]

Another great vlog! I started flying at 3 months old but went through a time a few years back of a lot of fear. But I think social media and following folks like you helped put it aside. Thanks for that 😊

[@barbarafogarty4802]

Your videos are THE best. Really look forward to seeing them. OMG. Just watching that jump made me gasp. You are amazing!! Thanks again for your perspective. ❤

[@RedCatt423]

Love your adventures as well as the quick peek into airline and pilot perspectives. Your editing is noteworthy.

[@t.lucalake8963]

I would feel 100% safe flying again on United if Paul was my Captain. Love your videos. 😊 👍 I will definitely by the book, Soar. THANK YOU!! 😊

[@dennisbrooks3270]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I don’t know if I could do that jump though !😳

[@LiveInSydney]

As always, very enjoyable - thanks Bernie in Sydney

[@aiwama1]

Discovered your channel only last week and have been binge watching since. Really excellent. I love your positivity and joy for life. Well done, Paul.

[@DianneSmith-fv1vi]

Just love love your videos be safe always pray for you guys🙏🙇‍♂️🌷

[@markcrowell2727]

Amazing place! I once worked for a Swiss company and, on one of my trips, my wife and I got to take trains up to Wengen...it was an amazing journey. Your video reminded me of how much we enjoyed our trips to Switzerland! I don't mind flying, but I do mind when we start to have bumps...that's when I get nervous!

[@Lisascornerlot120]

Thank you, Paul. I am handicapped and probably wont ever get to experience most of what you do.

[@Kyle901838]

Paul, I have seen you many times at the MSP airport. I used to be with OO for two years based in MSP before I made the jump to G4 in BNA. I want to applaud you for being genuine even when the camera is off. I have seen you on the escalators chatting with pax or other pilots. I wish you the best! I would often watch your videos commuting home!!! I would often find myself exploring the small cities we would fly into with OO. Now being home every night with G4 the story it different, but I still love the adventure!

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate that!!

[@emilymirandaluz]

I used to be a little nervous about flying until I worked with people who would be future pilots. They were so dedicated and conscience of everybody's safety that I have absolute peace when getting on an airplane now. Definitely meet the pilots if you can.

[@anne-marielithgow1977]

Another great video paul . 😊

[@theworldofjohn1972]

Awesome adventure! Great vid as always!

[@christopheraxten7020]

Great to see another video I will be flying from London to Newark with United on the 4th September who knows one day I might get to fly with you 👍

[@Naomi-b2u]

I’ve loved all your videos. Love how you show us cool things to do and see. United just changed my return from Berlin to LAX to a stop in EWR. Hope I find a sticker!

[@Tina2tu]

Watching videos like this help with my flight anxiety 🎉 thank you for this

[@markm6263]

I’m a fearful flyer n this page helps knowing such a great guy is a pilot….. actually when I’m on the plane I am fine it’s leading up to the flight

[@RivelKAMP]

Love the video! Keep em coming!

[@amandazoglio]

When people ask my favorite place I always saw Lauterbrunnan! I also jumped off a cliff there paragliding (loved it). I also absolutely hate flying and actually watching your videos and a lot of flight attendant videos has helped. Watching people fly over and over for their job helps me realize there is nothing to worry about - if there was people wouldn’t sign up to do it every day! (Well… that and Xanax but hey it works)

[@christopherlee5164]

Love your videos! Taking a risk and starting flight school to become a pilot. This video was perfect for my current thoughts and feelings about leaving my current career. Thank you!

[@kyrieeleison7328]

I am not a nervous flyer I just love your videos! ✈️

[@alexchan4304]

Please make more vlog! Always a pleasure watching your adventures

[@karenthomas2638]

I always enjoy watching your videos . I live near Geneva ! Its so easy to get to the city from the airport !

[@antaltakacs9767]

Paul. Love your videos. Thanks

[@CloudSurfer13]

What an inspiring video. Glad I found your channel!

[@AlanLawSydney]

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing!

[@mjsimmons2605]

Wow. You guys are soooo brave. 😮 Love these adventures you go on. 😂

Wow it's beautiful, thanks guys love the video,

[@allenbateman3518]

Great Video, beautiful country... Something must be off with this platform, first video of yours that I have seen in quiet some time.. Thanks for sharing!

[@matthewrammig]

Hey Paul! We are huge fans of your channel, and are here in Lauterbrunnen. I wanted to try the Brat restaurant, but they don’t cook out in the winter!

[@debmcgimpy5958]

How funny that your wife married a pilot!! I LOVE flying!! I LOVE your videos!! Always wish for more. Could I ever NOT want to go to London? OMG!!! You are an adrenalin junkie! :-) That was an awesome jump!!!! Switzerland looks beautiful, too. Thanks for a other Great vlog!!!

[@cathybowley9189]

I love your videos!😊

[@JamesRoloff]

Soar is awesome. It not only helped with flying for me, but addressed some other anxiety. I'm no working on getting my PPL.

[@mylayoverlife]

That’s so good to hear!!

[@ritchieb1612]

Beautiful!!!

[@beltonfields2311]

I hope you had a great trip and enjoy your weekend

[@johnolsen394]

I took capt Tom Bunn’s course in 2007. I was deathly afraid of flying. I am longer fearful. I love flying. Great course.

[@Traveler-rv]

What a beautiful village and what a rush that jump had to be. 👍

[@ChlyDoris]

If you happen to go to Kloten, I do propose going to Scool. On the way there you can load the car onto a train. And once there take a bath in the stunning scenery!

[@ruthnoronha8206]

Paul I love your channel. I just discovered it.

[@joelleholmes1658]

I love that you’re watching Kara & Nate!

[@TinaR622]

Great video, what an amazing experience…wow, you are more adventurous than me for sure 😂

[@angelfriend5211]

You‘re so brave!!!

[@mjotd8670]

peculiar shaped "rock balls"/ bungee jumping off a ravine....join the dots...Great video

[@jamesburns9706]

I love the 757. Such a beautiful aircraft.

[@ethanpadilla2205]

You are one of the great inspirations for me to start my journey to become an airline pilot. Hoping to start flight school soon!✈️

[@kymw7833]

Thanks Paul your very inspiring new viewer ,and aviation geek,never reached my dream of being a pilot due to colour blindness,so i live vicariously through you mentour,and other flight guys oh and Dutch Pilot Girl Michelle,but your the fun guy well done mate Kym Adelaide

[@scottlavin3921]

I love your videos. I so desperately want to be a pilot like you.

[@arigon87]

Awesome video! Grindelwald is just a 2 hour drive from here. Maybe I should go visit it 😅

[@smgebrov]

I’m sure that you are a great pilot but i think you are a better KZbinr lol Just love watching your videos from A to Z. Awesome content. God bless Captain 👨‍✈️

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate that!

[@dCarey906]

Wow brilliant video thank you so much for sharing

[@lisaappelmolly]

Love you videos!! So inspiring. After watching this one I may need to do the jump when we get to Switzerland! Planning to bike down a volcano in Hawaii in January--partly due to watching your videos!

[@mylayoverlife]

That’ll be so fun!

[@Whiteninja123]

Love the videos. I know you're busy but I wish you could make more videos!

[@Dannsandiego]

Well done, guys!

[@adilmts3793]

Excellent commander

[@tiagocarvalho7117]

excellent video Paul. cheers from aveiro!

[@matthewreeve5012]

I'm so glad you flew into Geneva! Last time I commented I worked next to ZRH, now I'm working next to GVA, and in the aviation industry. I also now have my Swiss PPL! I hope one day we can fly together, but I don't mind if it's your plane or mine! You'll be very welcome.

[@billsmafia1757]

Love your videos, you inspired me to get my pilots license, getting my private out of MMU, which is right next to ewr.

[@zaiivonhest]

Fun video! And great attitude. I actually did the same swing in Grindelwald in 2022. Good tips for nervous fliers. Any tips for sources that helps someone who hates flying because of claustrophobia? I honestly have 0 fear of the flying part or turbulance, I just hate being confined with 100's of people. Turbulance even helps a bit I feel like because it takes other peoples attention and makes it less likely that they notice that i'm wildly uncomfortable.

[@hulda2002]

13 times to london in 8 months is alot! Good you got something different

[@dwdw90]

I used to drive touring coaches to Lauterbrunnen, Wilderswil and Interlaken. An amazing part of the world.

[@mylayoverlife]

What a beautiful place to drive!

[@dwdw90]

@@mylayoverlife Tiring work! I drive trains in London now…..huge amount of study but I remember looking up at the planes arriving in to LHR and thought to myself that if someone can be trained to fly those then I can achieve what I had set out to do….and now 5 years later! Time flies!!!

[@paulzelazek828]

I am jealous! Damn - frequent flyer miles welcome
