I love how you're so professional, honest and genuine with a purpose of really sharing that information and insights ! Thank you for the videos.

Please do more of these “life advice” videos, they are so good! You have really energised me for the day & I'm not even a pilot. Thank you

You've changed my attitude in very positive way really. Thank you!

This video is still inspiring in 2018!

You're not only giving some advices for pilot job but also you're teaching true personality. I hope you always have a great life and always let people's life change in a very good way. I look forward to apply for pilot training when my university finishes. I wish will meet you one day. Thank you for everything that you've added to my life. You deserve best.

I am a motorcoach operator (essentially the ground-version of airline pilot), and your videos are so inspirational as well very helpful in helping me to apply new skills to improve profinciency in my current field of work. Thank you for your channel!

Thank you Mentour for another awesome video. I am merely an aviation enthusiast. I started watching documentaries on air accident investigations (most of them). I stumbled up on one of your vlog on the crash of an Air France flight during an airshow and have been following you ever since. Your ever positive life lessons and outlook on work is one of the things that draw me to watch your videos. Now I am going through your videos from inception of your channel to present. Keep up the good work you are doing. Will certainly try and share on SM as much as possible 👍👊

Thank You so much for the content, sir. I really admire Your profesionalism and way of thinking. Your explenatinons of avition issues are really great!

Hello Captain i love the maturity and the highest professionality level you've portrayed in your topic I'm very thankful I found your channel.You've really inspired me in a great way being a young pilot needs someone like you to be my Mentor and a Role Model in this loving and passionate Career that I'm. I Hope and believe that soon a day will come that i will be your Co-Pilot and be the Great Captain more like you ever thankyou and God Bless

Its awesome listening to a pilot who is so enthusiastic about his job. It reminds me of the odd pilot you see that goes out of his way to farewell his passengers as they disembark the aircraft. I often ask the crew after a short flight if i could snap a quick picture inside the cockpit, some go out of their way to show you bits and pieces even tho you were happy with a photo while others are a little less interested. I guess it depends on their workload tho, which is understandable. Ill never forget the first officer that actually asked me if i would like to sit in his seat. Its great to have people like you guys which inspire young people like myself to press forward to a job in aviation. thanks for all the work your doing :-)

This is brilliant advice for anyone in any job, not just the airline industry. It's all about mindset, how you decide to view your workplace. At the same time, you don't have to buy into someone else's negativity - and you have a chance of trying to change their mind, too. Remind them why they came into the industry in the first place. You have the opportunity to prolong their career longevity, or simply to improve their quality of life by focussing on the positives. If we zoom in on negatives, they will very quickly overwhelm any positives. This is an excellent podcast, and thanks for creating it!

Here is a good example why I like these type of videos, the things that you are saying can be applied to basicly any part of life, any kind of job, and not just for the aviation industry. This is gold.

Always a pleasure to have a Pilot in this Captain that is still positive and enthusiastic about this job. Can't see how people that have a passion for avaiation can get bored you just cant get enough of it. Thank you for these Videos Captain!

I think this advice/attitude is not only helpful in the airline business, but in many situations in life! :)

Big thank you from the very heart! I am in a big airline for some years, it's exactly as you say. Be positive fellas!!!

thank you so much.. just a kid from the Philippines .. and even though my father beats me down and poisons my mind when he is drunk (he is an alcoholic).. ur vlogs keep me going .. thank you so much again captain

This is just bang on! Could not agree more. Thanks for the insight!

Great advice that applies to pretty much any job. Sometimes things are so obvious that they often get overlooked and is good to remain ourselves what really matters. Thanks!

This is the best advise, thank you so much.

You should be a motivational speaker! You’re very professional and inspirational. I’d pay to watch you do a TedTALK presentation!

Fantastic! I really love your outlook, you have such a professional, logical, mature and 'big picture' attitude. Thanks again.

this is really a great video, the wisdom is useful for every occupation and life situation, thank you very much for sharing!

Very well said. Too many people go on forums, pprune et al, and read and write really abusive comments. My advice is to steer clear of these sites

Thanks man I really needed this today!

Thanks for this positive video that you posted. I'm about to go on my first flight in line-indoc as an FO for my first Airline job in a couple of days, really nervous as to how things will pan out but what you said has somehow helped calm my nerves a little. Appreciate it!

2021 and this video still brings motivation and happiness in my life.

Wow, you are the sweetest pilot :') I recently became a flight attendant, my number one dream since i was 8 yrs old. Im 23 now, and i love my job sooo so much, but hearing senior pilots and flight attendants complain makes me so scared. I dropped everything to make my dream come true. I was working at a hospital as a student nurse and like you said, i was not happy so i changed my whole life to do what i really wanted.. i can't thank you enough for this video. Hope to fly with you someday!

i love this video! great message! you deserve to win! cheers to a great life!

This is a really sound piece of advice, thanks for the enlightenment.

Great video! And some very useful tips that I've barely even thought of before. Thanks!

Right on! Regardless of the job you're doing, that's the attitude!

Best 12:28 on the internet and it has nothing, for me at least, to do with being a pilot. The world is my neighborhood, nice meeting you.

I work in injection molding and what you say about complaining is very true, it happens in every profession.

Thank you!

Thanks for the motivating words!

This is still one of the BEST videos on KZfaq

You're a legend! Very wise words! Keep those videos coming!

Amazing video. Thank you man

A fan of your videos and channel.. really inspiring to see how u made ur way up the ladder.. and inspite of that humble and down to earth.. KP up the good work going. could u please emphasize on what are the different trainings an airline pilot under takes before flying those airplanes eg CRM, Security etc

I would love to see a podcast for VFR and IFR pilots about how to assess meteorological conditions in the preflight. Any tips? Thanks!!! Useful channel!

Great videos! Any chance you would be able to produce a video on Descent and Energy management, including selection of pitch modes?

Thank you for the words, I really needed them!!

Way to go mentor. great advice

This is absolutely incredible advice no matter what industry you are in.

great advice. thanks.

Off topic, what sunglasses brand/type? i really like 'em. Hey great video for me i looked around and found out that everyone complains about his job! so i just ended up doing what i wanna do. one of the main reason i like you is you're positive and always give EPIC answers:) thank you.

So true! This video is so good not only for pilots!

Great video. Happy I discovered your channel. As an A380 SE/TRI, hats off . I've been exactly in the same situation as you mentioned over 10 years ago. Keep up the good work and enjoy the sunsets/sunrises!

I really respect this guy.

Just love all your vids

"Don't waste your life by complaining as the one you are complaining about are not listening"-best👌

Thx 4 ur help. I 💙 ur idea. Going 2 do it 2night. I'm have problems right now. I really like my job; it's getting hard 2 go cuz of the atmosphere. I overheard my supervisor tell my boss 2 fire cuz I'm making them look bad (I pride myself on my work ethics to the point when I c something needs doing I do it without being asked) 《don't mean 2 brag》 I refuse 2 let them win.

You're an absolute legend mate.

Strålande! Den här delade jag på min Facebook sida. Tack!

This is great advice for life, not just for pilots.

Capt... I Really Salute you... You Acknowledge each N Every Query...😊. You helped me When I had Query... You Are Not Only Capt But Super Capt...😊✈

Always look at the bright side of life!

Hi Sir, Yet another reality based video. so informative! This has popped one question in my mind about decision making, In airline industry and as a pilot, it is critical to make decisions (in fact for all of us in our lives, no one is exceptional!). I want to ask you, what factors should you consider before taking any important decision that would impact later on your life as well as others life. Also, how to deal with it when you realize later that, if i would have chosen the other option , it could have better results than the one which i have taken. Have a superb day!!

Great video!

I was on a practical occupational experience once in a finish store named tokmanni, but the workers there seemed to be depressed, so I almost thought I would find a dead body somewhere. I had been on a trip to Spain the day before the POE, so I had to do a physics test during the POE. Usually I get an A but I got C+

"If you don't have any expectation, you won't be disappointed". Many believe that after being hired, they will be able to do what they want (in case of the airline industry, fly a nice plane to some exotic beaches, as you said more than once, maybe have some fun with the flight attendants), then at the end of the week/month a heavy paycheck comes, and all is milk and honey. I'm not in the airline industry (but i work on an airport) and i know the weird working hours and working through holidays all too well, and i see colleagues who when they got hired they couldn't find their own asses with both their hands, but they were dreaming of getting in decision making positions, then after a year or so they started complaining that they had the same salary they started with, and the same shitty position, but they miss the fact that they still can't find their own asses with both their hands.

Hey ,great video . I've couple of queries but I would like to discuss it somewhere else .

As a fellow pilot at a flag carrier, I wanted to come on here and have a bit dig because I thought you were going to oversell the industry. Having watched a few of your videos, you're actually very much on the money. The message is not that the job doesn't have flaws (it absolutely freaking does ha ha) But that if you don't like something about your work, get a new licence (if needs be) and move on. Support your unions, don't sell your own or yourself out, think very carefully about signing up for productivity gains etc, but when all is said and done, either get yourself ready to leave, or stay and get on with it. I'm not an aviation enthusiast personally. I do enjoy it, and I was lucky to go through the military first, but it's a job to me now. If you really want to "fly", don't join an airline, get a heli licence. There's a lot of general things to like about the job (working closely with others) - as long as you go in with your eyes wide open, and you've done a few sums first. Oh yeah, and never ever pay to fly.

hey. Thank you for your videos, they're really inspiring. Can I ask, is there a great difference between airlines and regional pilots?

Sir, would u please like to share any experience in which you had to do an emergency landing, and how u dealt with the situation, or how difficult is it to land in harsh weather conditions...?

So much truth in one video.

Great Videos! Question: is there any height requirement for becoming an airline pilot (any one you may have ever heard of?) Thanks

Love the channel mentour pilot I love the vids

+Mentour Pilot Do you have any video on domestic vs international flights? If not, that would be awesome.

This is such a good channel why dislike

Seriously WOW, I love Mentour Pilot, only discovered the channel 4 weeks ago. Just found out what airline you work for....if it was me I would allow my company to be flashed all over this channel. Until I've seen you,I thought everyone working for this airline was overworked, unhappy & sad....if everyone's like you then I have made a terrible misjudgement...

Misery needs company, negative people will allways try to convince others about negative things. That is when they start feeling good. Good job!

If it possible for to apply for the CPL Course those who use spectacle??

And oldie but goodie. You should do a video with Dutch Pilot Girl: it'd be ratings gold! Besides, her accent sounds very close to a Swedish one (to a non-Swedish ear)

Mate, I wanna be sat in Barcelona in a hammock and a pool right now 😂

What kind or type of wrist watch must you have?

Best video yet

Hej and greetings from a Swedish flight enthusiast! :) How do you proceed if you want to sit in the cockpit with the pilots during the flight? Do you ask the stewardess before take off? Is that even allowed anymore after 9/11? Do pilots find it annoying to have a passenger in the cockpit? Thank you for all your videos. It's really interesting and I'm checking your channel everyday. Keep up the good work!

What was the job situation like post 2008 GFC? What will job opportunities be like when the next financial crisis happens?

Mentour Pilot. How much confident are you when you encounter turbulence, e.g I actually see wings bending however the flight attendant don't seems to be scared. Is there a save working loads or breaking stress on the wings or plane equipments to allow such heavy turbulence?

Hi Mentour! how much months did u take to get the job?!

Please I want you to give the details about the diplomat in college or other to become a Pilot like a Jobs (Academic School Path )

I've not yet chosen this. but I'm the sour person. lol. I mean I don't know if it's all jobs or just because of certain factors. before i had a mean boss and low pay, now i have a nice boss and low pay. I work so hard it seems a shame to be paid so much lower than my coworkers. I don't know where a spark is. It is so hard to choose something to do, when you haven't a clue what it is you want.

What airline are you working for?

Well i really loved this video couse it make me see some positve things, but i still have a question. I use to see these forums and the thing that scares me is that people complain about pay2fly or complain about the poor job offers, i mean. The thing that scares me is paying more than 100000 € and still don't get a job. What do You think about it as a pilot?

When I was a baggage handler I had pushed back a lot of aircraft while hearing most of the pilots through my headset complaining about every aspect of their job from scheduling to union bargaining even bitching about the flight attendants. I often felt like telling them; "Hey buddy, I spend all day on all kinds of weather loading and unloading heavy bags and cargo in a noisy, dirty and dangerous environment for a fraction of your pay and benefits! You care to trade jobs?!"

How could anybody complain when you have the coolest job in the world? My goodness. “Few people can fly on planes, but even fewer can pilot them”

I want to be a pilot I'm only 12 years old and my brother always said that sounds so boring but I don't think I could ever be dissapointed if I was a pilot

Once you join an airline as an FO for example Ryanair, can you apply for another airline as a Captain, example Thomas Cook or are you stuck with the first airline you are put with for your entire career? Thanks

I’ve never even been on a plane, I’m positive one day I will! :)

I have a question please answer is it hard to be a pilot and a father at the same time

how old do i have to be to become an airline captain?

so what are your views on things like P2F, zero-hour-contracts, forced self employment, crash pads and paying for your own TR's? I mean, I agree flying is awesome and I have looked into becoming a professional pilot myself (currently only have a PPL) but you have to wonder if it's worth it. There are a lot of mixed stories out there. On the one hand you have guys like you, all cheery and happy and everything is great. Great pay, great life, flying all over. Generally loving being a pilot, living the "pilot dream" basically. And then there's the other side. Pilots with massive debts, not even getting paid to fly (on the contrary even, paying the airline 60+k for "training" and "building hours"). Young guys who see your videos and love flying as much as you do but end up wishing they'd never fucking started it because they can't get a fucking job and won't ever be able to pay off the debt which, by that point, has gone up to 200k if not more. They're the guys who get in line with a couple thousand other pilots in the hope of having a shot at sitting in that right seat while being paid for it. I no longer know what to believe. Either you are very lucky or all those other guys (and there's a lot of them) really suck at being a pilot.

can a person choose which type of plain he/she flies?

I'm a B737 captain in the US. The industry here sucks because we're always tolerating the horrible work conditions and pay (pay being stolen sometimes), the broken promises from management. Not being able to get hired by a better airline, unless you want to go back to the regionals for 7 years to have a job at the legacy airlines, family problems because you haven't been home in three weeks; it's not worth it. With your job in Spain, you don't know how good you have it and should be a bit more understanding of the guys who have sacrificed everything and not seeing any return other than being spit in their faces. Not to mention the dick measuring contest that other pilots want to have.

What aircraft do you fly

How would an airline pilot find his way after finding himself way off course and completely lost? I'm wondering because of the incident recently where airline pilots accidentally flew hundreds of miles past the airport the

Thoughts on the recent algerian crash

Mentour do you live in spain.?

Hey Mentour. i am 18 years old and in live in South Africa. i have recently been bitten by the aviation bug. i have tried to watch all of your videos but i am still not quite sure on what to do to become a pilot. I would really appreciate your help?
