When you said "yeah, bring your kids to the cockpit" It reminded me that day when I was like- 10 maybe... And I really wanted to see how it was into the cockpit, how everything works, etc... And then my mom told me she was gonna ask if it was possible for me to go see in the cockpit but she told me that she wasn't sure that they would say yes because of all the accidents that happened with people just entering the cockpit and making the plane crash... So she asked to one of the women that was working on the plane if it was possible at least before the flight starts and she said that she was going to ask to the pilot. So when she came back she said that they said yes but that the pilot wasn't here yet so there was only the co-pilot. So I went to the cockpit, started to talk with the co-pilot, he was kinda impressed I knew some things that usually 10 years old kids (or even adults) don't know (I knew these things because my father worked in an airport and he had friends working on air planes (like fixing them, etc...) So then I came back to my place beside my mother and then there's the pilot, the co-pilot, and the woman that works on the plane that just went OUT of the cockpit and called us- the pilot said: "Excuse me, take your stuff and come please." And my mother was like- "What did you do?!" So we took our bags and all the things and then they just- closed the curtains and they said to follow them to the cockpit- so we ended up doing ALL THE FLIGHT in the cockpit with them! It was a really funny and cool experience! Fun fact number one: we had to shut up everytime they were communicating with the airport Fun fact number two: there were old candies on the floor of the cockpit- And finally- fun fact number three-: when they called us, all the people were looking at us like- wth..... Good luck to read all of this!

"it looks flat" that was hilarious!

Im a retired flight attendant, in flight deck while first officer was in bathroom,I was talking to captain. We were discussing UFO's. He and fo saw one on the way to Alaska late one evening. It was documented . He notified atc and wrote it up. His sighting was documented in a book about UFO sightings.

“Is the earth flat?”… nonchalantly - “i don’t know(?), it looks flat(?)” 😂

I used to fly British Airways on a 747-200 (2 pilots plus flight engineer) across the pond quite frequently back in the late 80's and early 90's. I usually asked the flight attendants if I could visit the cockpit in flight as I am a private/instrument pilot. I was usually granted permission and literally spent hours in the cockpit with the pilots. On one flight I was there for almost 2 hours chatting as we flew over Greenland, so serene and pretty. They finally threw me out when we had to begin our descent. I also managed to fly the jump seat on a Lufthansa ATR 72 from Munich to Milan. We flew over the Alps as the sun was going down. That was spectacular. Just discovered your channel, I love it. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't realize the autopilot could land the plane...interesting. I like hearing from the pilot, they always sound so calm and relaxed, might be helpful for travelers that are nervous about flying. I used to be somewhat nervous about flying but as I've gotten older it doesn't bother me at all now.

i really enjoy your videos! Don't stop!!!

Thanks for the content. You answered a question I’ve been wondering about the age limit for hire. I have eight more years before I’m eligible to retire and I will be 46 years old. I have my PPL and plan on taking it all the way to ATP by then.

I love your videos! I just found your channel last month and I’ve been watching your vlogs in reverse. Thank you for answering all of these questions. My husband is an ER doc. Occasionally when we’ve flown, the FA will ask on the overhead will ask if there’s a doctor on board. It’s never been anything life-threatening. But he feels like he can’t offer much help since he doesn’t have tools/meds etc. He usually just sits with the person and offers reassurance. The flight crew has always been very appreciative. Interesting about the break times that you get. My husband’s ED has switched to mostly 12h shifts. It’s too taxing. They need to offer ER docs breaks too. Not sure why they don’t?

I enjoyed the content in this video; and feel you have a wonderful positive personality. Interesting. I learned alot. ✈👍🏻😃

For your next Q&A video....I'm curious if you prefer the 75 or the 76. Excluding the destinations of course, but wondering which one is more fun to fly.

Thank you, send love from Cape Town. Keep flying safely!

I love this guy..

love it thanks for the insight

Keep crushing' it! Love the international travel! And I so want to see a UFOooooo!

In the topic of ratings... accelerated programs you can get from zero to MEI in 6 Months. With PPL in 1 Month, Instruments in 3 weeks, commercial 2 weeks, CFI 1 week, CFIII 1 week, Multi 2 weeks, and MEI 1 Week and the rest is building time for the next rating. So no years if you are committed to get your ratings.

Thank you for your super amazing and creative Videos! What is the nicest compliment a passenger can give to the pilot?

Fascinating video brother 👏. I just wondered what’s the highest altitude your usually able to go too? Thanks 😊

i really love your content. keep up the great work. I'm a flight sim pilot and I didn't know about the sterile cockpit before watching this vid and I am now watching a captain joe video on it and soon will incorporate it into my flight sim flights

When I worked at a dealership in Cannon Falls, MN, we had a customer who was a pilot for Northwest that would sit on his tailgate and drink beer while we worked on his truck. I always teased him that if I ever heard his south accent over the intercom before a flight that I would have to get off the plane. He said he couldn't drink before work, so he made up for it on his down time. I'm pretty sure drinking in our shop was against our rules, too...

Counting people as Souls, interesting!

Just noticed you have different color eyes! Nice!

Speaking of all important Coffee, the last flight I took with United from Geneva to IAD in Dec, they served the expensive "Illy" brand coffee in the Economy. That was a pleasant surprise. The food sucked but the coffee more than made up.

currently now you do not need a 4 year degree for United, Southwest, American airline because there an pilot shortage happening. so they are moving from the requirements

We love your channel!

Questions: older men tend to have prostate issues which can affect how often you go to the bathroom. ever been a problem your flights With you or a first officer who really needed to go to the bathroom at a bad time? With the current pilot shortage, is there still the requirement to have completed a four-year degree?

I am considering a career change and have always wanted to become a airline pilot. However, I am concerned this late in my life if I will still be able to continue my current standard of living. I’ve recently reached out to a local aviation school that is affiliated with the United Aviate program and I am a veteran (AirForce Maintenance non-pilot). What concerns me particularly is will my starting pay as a ATP match or better my current salary requirements. Would be helpful if you could explain in a next video what is an average salary (starting to senior level timeframes outlook) and lifestyle expectations/change and life experience/outlook could be like. I currently have a corporate remote job (home) and I am mid 40’s. You mention 65 is max age these days. That leaves me < 20 yrs to go. I just don’t want to have to start all over again as low man on totem pole for pay if salary is not well for beginners, I may have to pass on this idea if pay expectations are not a match at ATP beginner stages/levels.

When there's no live pilots that's when I stop flying 😅 Thanks for your video I enjoyed that and isn't it funny that everyone who mentions a ufo says it moves very fast maybe there's the answer if there real or not

Hi i traveled around the world i work in aviation too, i was born in Lisbon, my favorite places in the world are Singapore and Portugal , when i try to explain why Portugal and Lisbon is one of my favorite places in the world i have a hard time to explain maybe because i was born there its hard to explain for me because i like everything, what is the things you like i love to hear an outside opinion,

Thanks for the note about kids in the cockpit! My son ****LOVES**** airplanes and jets, so as soon as we go flying with him again I'm definitely going to try to let him see the cockpit. Is it best to walk up and ask a pilot directly or ask a flight attendant first?

Love your channel. Did you say you don’t know if the earth is flat or not?

Hahah I played golf with a pilot and I asked the indirect question lol “do you see anything weird? Lol

I had a buddy pass and trying to use it ended up being one of the most expensive trip I’ve ever had. Since, I couldn’t get space a, I ended up paying for my entire trip at the airports.

If you were flying a plane and the wind broke off what would be the first thing that you would think about your PreFlight inspection or a prayer to God or would you notify the passengers not to look out the window of the plane with the missing wing

Hi! I’d like to become an airline pilot, im 47 and am looking to get my private pilots license. Would you recommend an ATP school after?

Where did you get your flight training?

Is it possible to get locked in the toilet on a plane? If so how would it be unlocked? AlwAys been curious!

Recently hit "mountain wave turblance" on a trip to Vegas. Felt like we were going down haha. Any thoughts on it like is it avoidable? Why was it so crazy? etc..

Hey Paul, I’m thinking about starting pilot training so I can work for the airlines someday. I’ve noticed not many pilots have sleeve tattoos. Both of my arms are tattooed. Would I be disqualified from working at an airline?

Does your airline allow comfort pets to fly with the passengers and if so what's the strangest comfort pet you've seen over the passenger

when flying a longer flight, is there a point where the pilots get to kind of relax and enjoy the fact that you are flying? Kind of like during a long car ride, there are points where you can relax a bit and enjoy the scenery. Do pilots ever get that? Would suck to have to keep on high alert and miss some of those views. Also, in n emergency could the auto-pilot land the plane?

Just started watching you today. Do you have to pay for the hotel room when you're on layovers? Or does the airline pay for that? Or do they include an amount in your salary?

How do you keep your ears from getting plugged?

Is the Earth flat? “I don’t know, it looks like it?” Haha 😂

What airline do you fly

I’m surprised you didn’t mention noise abatement rules when addressing the throttle back question.

Do you have a personal plane you fly on you off time

Have you ever been to Australia and New Zealand?

My Daughter and I saw One Years Ago . My 1 st Time Ever and it was A Gold Color,Shaped like a Old Lantern .It was like as Soon as We Saw it .It Took Off Super Fast...Zig-Zaged.Then It was Gone. I was Glad cause it was Pitch Black at the Lake where We Lived. I Did Not Want To See Anything In it . It was Strange . 😃

The UFO response starts at 14:56

Can you react to the video of that airline worker who took a plane and did loops in the air

What tips do you have for people who get motion sick on flights

I flew medevac and had a baby born on board. We didn't change the weight and balance haha

I am an EMT and Registered Nurse. I don’t advertise this upon boarding anymore because I was being disturbed for too many minor issues that are weren’t actual medical emergencies. I want to make a suggestion for when you do have your first live birth in flight. EMTs have to start a second chart for a baby when we deliver in the ambulance. We also have a great tradition of contacting dispatch to inform them that we went from transporting one individual to the hospital to two (or more) including the newborn. I don’t know what your protocol is but I hope you get the honor of updating ATC that you have more souls on board than when you took off!

"Is the Earth flat? I don't know, it looks flat" 🤣

Ive been researching that u dont need a 4 year degree it just helps during hiring

Next time you fly with Henry Hampton tell him he owes AA DX a shot glass from Lisbon

Never heard why you base out of newark... Why not Chicago as you live in minnesota

If takeoff and landing are the most demanding and dangerous for pilots, doesn’t the robust success of the Garmin G3000 demonstrate it can do everything a pilot does, and in some ways safer and more reliable?

Great video! I thought that after 9/11 the cockpit door has to be locked during a flight and no passengers are allowed in the cockpit

how safe is take off? i’m always so nervous about take off 😭😭😭 but the rest of the flight i’m sleeping lol

You can’t bring the kids to the cockpit in flight though can you? Just on the ground prior to doors closing?

If you ever come to São Paulo (GRU) and want to have a bjj practice. Let me know

what is or favorite thing to us a pilot

@My Layover Life why doed everyonr luv the Neo A321(A21N) A330 A320 A220 A350

Have you ever taken a flight that’s more than 1 day without stopping

Why when about 30 minutes before landing, can you feel the plane seem to slow down, then it seems to take a small dive upward?

when you fly example to Spain, Colombia CHina what langue do you speak to air traffic?

Does the pilot get paid by flying time?

About people in cockpit. I was flying from Budapest to CDG and a little while after takeoff I asked the flight attendant if I can see the cockpit. She went there to check that, and then came back to follow her. Basically 90% of the flight I was sitting in the spare seat in the cockpit. What is more, the pilots asked me if I wanted to land with them.. hell yeah. So I had the whole Paris panorama in front of my eyes. It was an Air France A318, so a pretty rare plane. The whole footage is on my channel. But since then, they are not really allowing people in the cockpit, only TAP Portugal let me take a look at A321neo cockpit after landing, then I had to leave the plane quickly.

You WILL ALLOW passengers to see the cockpit❓That must the airlines rules that leave it up to the Captain. As of UPGRADE… My SON & I were coming back home & the Gate attendant moved us up to FIRST CLASS, FIRST ROW.. He was in uniform , just finished Bootcamp! Best Flight ever! 😅❗️

Actually what you were explaining the object that another pilot saw is exactly a UFO as that is what I saw.

Haven’t most airlines dropped the 4 year degree requirement because of the pilot shortage?

Here's a weird question have you ever had a snake on the plane

Do you have 2 different coloured eyes?

Is it reasonable to Pray with your crew during flight planning???

Very few airlines require a 4 year degree anymore. You can get hired almost anywhere right now if you have the time and a clean record.

"I dunno.. it looks flat"... I hope that was sarcasm!

I like you to know I'm the reason there are no trash cans in the boarding section of spirit airlines in fort Myers Florida airport because I accidentally brought a carry-on and they accidentally wanted $300 for me to carry it on thank you

No, sir. You do not breath the same air. Crew oxygen system is separate from pax oxygen. Flight deck air supply has more external air than the supply run through the packs.

Do you have your own plane when you're home?

I was part of a medical emergency on a flight to Honduras. As an EMT, I was able to provide oxygen for the passenger, monitor her vitals and she was fine well before touching down. Never thought I would experience this lol

I hope your answer to 'Is the earth flat' question was just sarcasm.

The pilot that my stepson and I asked to see the pilot he said he was two busy made him so sad

🛸🛸🛸

Passenger can land airplanes without experience... May 2022 in Florida

Curious.. What kind of career is available to you after the mandatory retirement of 60? Or is it a rather dead-end job?

To be clear. No one has a fear of flying. They have a fear of crashing. Big difference.

John; has ever happened to you, where you did not get paid for some hours ?

i am 28 can i still train to become an airline pilot?

Interesting you deifine the calls during sterile flight deck times as disturbing you. My company calls them as an interuption. same I guess, but I hate to disturb, which seems like an annoyance, where as an interruption is exactly that.

I went to the cockpit as a child, and the pilot asked me if I have ever been to a Turkish bath or seen a grown man naked.

I believe a non-pilot landed a plane in the Eastern US in the last year.

Capt. I have this great fear of flying. At take off I am usually terrified. How can I over come this fear..?

Yeah. You the UFO

Its mainly american seeing ufo’s …. Wonder why that is 😂. Ever seen a map where they have plotted ufo sightings …. Very few sightings in mexico and in canada, but in the US. 😂😂. holy crap ufo’s loves usa

😂😂😂😂

Why is the word “souls” used?

I'm not interested in things from area 51 ..is the world flat that's wat I wanna know??

$200 to cross the country. Let me introduce you to Canada. I can't fly to the next closest city for $200.
