As a 60 year old who is just embarking on my flying career - as short as it will be - I will enjoy every hour in my journey. Some people NEVER realize their dream of being a pilot. Nope, I’ll never have your career, but then, I was a rescue diver for the fire department for over 30 years. Now I am gonna fly!! Best of luck in all of your endeavors, Kiddo!!

@@dustyrhodes2717 No, it's the perfect time.

Factor in that there is a huge wave of pilots coming up for retirement, this combination will definitely get them to Captain status and seniority much quicker.

I agree with you 75%. Unfortunately, on the mainline Bus side I’ve flown with some Captains who were…horrendous. Landing with unacceptably low amounts of fuel, making bad decisions, not wanting any input or, on rare occasions, berating me. So take that into your QOL calculation, it’s so much better being in charge and setting the tone (as you know from the regionals). Hope all the Captains you fly with are great in the meantime. Take care.

This is a nice for the people who either want to be a pilot or who are on their way to have more hours flying. People who are flying please continue. He was right about seniority and being able to bid better trip in our industry. With respect of those last two aspects, I did not become a pilot I went on to become a Flight Attendant and started flying career back in 1999. It is the same with being a Flight Attendant with experience the seniority in bidding for your trip schedules. The first couple of years of flying on reserve are crazy! You probably will have to wake up early early in the morning and getting crazy trips to fly. Also, from my former airline they wanted F/As to becometeam leaders or Pursers onboard the aircraft. So, I took those class for leadership and passed those Leadership classes to make more money. And to gave me a better ability to bid better schedules. And after flying for first 3 1/2 to 4 years, woth seniority I could hold the city trips that I liked. So, yes, in our industry "seniority" is soo much apart of our lives. So, congratulations those people who want to become pilots. Also, for people who may not initially have the funds to start their Flight Classes and who may not able to find a close flight schools to you then becoming a Flight Attendant is a nice job as well. You will experience what it is to fly to nice cities, speck to nice Captains and First Officers and find you a flight school close to you so, that you can to start flying classes. Plus again being a F/A you will have an airline job, income, travel and the abilty to experience what "seniority" is all about.😊

I had a good friend who flew for Pan-American world Airways for many years as a first officer. He stayed as a first officer well into his 50s, and he could bid any trip he wanted on the airline anywhere, anytime. He always told me the same thing. His quality of life was so much better than if he was a junior captain. When Pan Am folded, he decided to take a deal that was offered, as United had acquired Pan Am’s Pacific routes. There was a fast track advanced to captain for certain Pam first officers, and he decided to take advantage of that offer. He somehow negotiated a higher seniority number on the Pacific routes and stayed there for the remainder of his career. He told me he would never even considered doing it anyway other than how he did it. Being a senior first officer was so much better than being a junior captain.

Ignorant question as I'm looking to change careers. Is seniority based entirely on how long you've been with a company or is it based on accumulated flight time? Also, does that seniority reset as you change bases or aircraft? Just curious if there's a way for a new pilot to accelerate or catch up to those with a more casual, quality of life focus that have been with a company for a while.

Hey Garrett, I got a question for you or anybody willing to answer. Is everybody in the company in the same seniority pool or does is go by aircraft, FO, Captain? For example, when you do decide to upgrade to captain, will you be at the bottom of the barrel for captains or will you have seniority over people that joined the company after you but upgraded before you? Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Everybody is technically in the same seniority bank overall, but then it is broken down to base/aircraft type and CA/FO. He said he’s in the top 10% for nyc fo, which is very good for only being at his company for 2.5 years. And yes you are also correct, if he upgrades to captain later he would have a higher seniority than someone who joined the company later but upgraded earlier

Being able to bid for captain is solely based on seniority (and having the hours eligible for being a captain). Since he was at the start of a hiring boom, his seniority shoots up fast so at a junior base like NYC and as a FO, he’s at the top in seniority of his group (Base, Aircraft, position). If he wants to fly a 777 out of Dallas, well, he’d be pretty junior as Dallas tends to be a very senior base.

It’s a fake uniform that he wears to film his videos. He doesn’t wear his actual work uniform as frist officer pilot 🧑‍✈️ on videos.. he talk about this in couple older KZbin videos

But epaulettes are not fake….they are a rank. It does clash with the message of the video saying he wants to remain as an FO whilst wearing Captains rank.

It’s not rude, just an observation. I am a captain and it strikes me as weird,, unless he was demoted in the last 3 days since it was posted on KZbin…if I was rude I would have said a bit ‘wannabe captain’ but wasn’t rude 😊

@@battyjoe if you simply don’t like it, then send him the right palettes for his fake uniform that he just wears to make videos in.. and he was the captain before if you look previous KZbin videos he’s talked about it before.. So I don’t think it’s weird that he wears a fake uniform for KZbin videos so he doesn’t offend his company if he wears his actual uniform.. I’m done with this 😂😂 like he said in previous video if you want to send him the right applets to him go ahead that’s why he said..

Seems like it’s short term gain for possible long term pain. Why not put in the work now, build your seniority as captain, put in the long hours now while you’re young and no one is at home to care - no wife, no children to miss out on. Put in the long days, lower quality of life now so when you do have family and children you can choose your schedule so it works for family life. Set yourself up now for the kind of family time you want in the future.
