@Paul Smith I sometimes find it goes the other way too. I'll be watching a foreign movie with subtitles and the actor will say something really quick, and you get 3-4 lines of text flashing through the subtitles that you have less than a second to digest. Especially annoying if you're in a cinema, when you can't pause and rewind, and that quick bit of dialogue is a major plot point.

I've had the same experience and it's really funny when you understand both languages lol!

Imagine. Then you wonder is that all they said in their native language 🙄🙄🙄

No way!!!!! Hahahahahaha

"I think aaaaaahhhhh I um aaaaaahhhhh I might be aaaaaaaahhhhhh having a aaaaaaaahhhhhh having a stroke aaaaahhhhhhh here aaaaaaarrrrgghhhhtttt"

Agreed, Daniel! I feel the same way.

Me too! I actually like when they do that and the way they talk

It's mind control, all pilots do it.

If the pilot doesn't know how to say uuuhhhhh it makes me think he doesn't know how to fly a plane.

My father, who was a DC-3 pilot way back in the day, always said it was so people know they aren't missing any words. If you just stop making noise for a second and then come back in, it's not clear whether you paused or your mic cut out.

Oh when MSFS 2020 came out and I was streaming to my friends, that was absolutely a key part of my PA to them...

A pregnant pause while the speaker checks a number or verifies something is worse for the listener. Try it.

yes, this is a natural continuous engagement, it might be a annoying to some because they are relaxed and know nothing bad will happen but with people flying for their first time or fly once every 2 to 5 years they know little of how safe planes and flight crews are so they overthink things "did he finish? did his radio cut out and I could not listen to something in between?" when the pilot does the little "huu" in a relaxed way it relaxes the anxious people, make them realize flight crew do that every day as a routine and they are still there, they are pros on their dailies, nothing is going to happen... at least that's my personal opinion when I study other people's expressions during flight because reasons :3

It is actually something all humans do in their speech. If they are talking and hit a spot where they have to "think" about their next words....they will fill the gap with "something" rather than let that gap be silent.... filling it with ummmmm or uhhhh or anything that is not a "word" that will not leave that awkward silence.... It's just psychology.... and I'm not sure about the WHY behind it.... but I know it is like "instinct" that we do it...

you should check out a youtube channel called studio C, they have a funny pilot skit

It's a natural human reaction to being distracted, basically anyone talkin in such condition would do that. I do it a lot playing video games.

@@Mdnightsoldier i dont even like to talk while playin games ,i just ignore

yeah me 2 I'm like aaahhh do you even know how to pilot bro

I'll take "uuuuhhhhh", anyday over, "Like um" or "Ya know" or "And um"!! Any. Day. 😂😂😂

Besides, your flight attendants can be seen so the passengers are aware that they are still presenting from the visual elements of what they're doing. Uh... is a way of stalling through distractions. Since pilots are looking at a lot of information and distilling it down amidst a lot of distractions, it's like a placeholder in the conversation while they regain what they're trying to say. As well as, yeah, sort of holding the place in the conversation.

@@esm1817 Yep don't hear flight attendants jumping over each-other to communicate like what folks do on the radio....Tho the info that the flight attendants is very important for the passengers.

Also, voice-activated radios from older times, needed the sustain for the mic to stay open.

Well thank you!!!😉

@@aaronwilcott4561 yes! Went to DFW on Delta and looked for pilots on way out to thank them but was a little sad they were in cockpit. It was ok, I thanked the FAs.

Ive been fortunate that most of my experiences i was able to meet the pilots either boarding or debarquing. I dont fly often; my anxieties are such that is an uncomfortable experience.

I know they do it on Alaska

Yeah, but that's part of the duties in some professions - sounding calm while everything is going to hell. Pilots, surgeons, cops, paramedics, military leaders etc. The idea is that that if the professional is seen choking, then EVERYONE starts choking. It's all an act; the turmoil inside is still there.

"You didn't know? There's an app for that."

*& drink a ton of booze*

I would shit myself hahah

As a pilot very cute!

Omfg amazing comment 😂

Hahaha! Good one. :)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Daaaang that's mean but I would do that too if I were a pilot lol

😂😂😂😂

uncle_jessie lol poor Brittany 😂

100% I look at them as _actual_ celebrities. Their training, the responsibility they take so we can get to grandmas for Thanksgiving, the big brain on all of the crew? I think it's fantastic and while I'm a 48yo woman, when a flight attendant speaks to me in a way that seems "special" out like they're somehow taking a moment to make _me_ feel seen, (though their job is to make everyone feel that way), or when I get to see the pilot as I'm getting off the plane? I feel kinda like a 16yo girl just taken with everything. It's awesome! It's dreamy! And why not it feels good to have fun and feel young 💯✨

@Benni B It always sounds to me like they're trying to find that part of the page they're reading from.

@Benni B Not so much, as one can have a buffer on the mic, it sends a very slight delay, but guarantees all of it is sent. But yeah, while making the announcements pilot is 1) listening to ATC, 2) listening to and paying attention to what the other pilot is doing, 3) reading information off the sheets of things like weather conditions and such. It is a lot of information they are dealing with, they do an excellent job even with the "uuuuuhhhhhh" bits to manage all that at once.

@Mike Thompson Yes, pilots often do it in the middle of the sentence, mostly cause of everything else they are doing at that time.

*speaking process

It’s like the French “euhhhhhh”

Me too it’s relaxing in a way to know there is a set plan

Yeah it's nice to know where a search party may be looking just in case 😆 for real though I like it when the pilots share. Word

Also love the information; guess it’s us ‘nerd folk’ LOL

Honestly, I’d be happy for the pilots to just narrate the entire flight

I also love it. Always interesting to know what's going on around.

It also covers any other conversation or noises that might be happening in the cockpit.

@@jimbopaw Like emergency klaxons?

I was going to say that too, but i think Stella's comment was more on a better expression to connect the lines

I do radio emergency dispatching, and when doing announcements or basic comms, the uhhhhs just come naturally and afterwards I'd also ask myself why I'm channeling an airline pilot.

Personally I think it sounds better if you just drag on the end of your last word a little bit longer than usual instead of saying "uhhh".

Hmmmm it seems ure IMC ..... I AM MILITIA

Bajahahahahhahahhaha I mean, man that sucks.

Absolutely! Im nerdy so i like all those minute, meaningless details. Obviously if someone intended to work or sleep on the plane, that would be a distraction to them. but i always enjoyed it. Or pilot comedy hour! I always enjoyed the pilots practicing their stand up routines!

@@inconnu4961yes

I absolutely love that long announcements as well !

The pilot was probably Kelsey 😅

I love it too, and judging by the thumbs-ups, there are a lot of us. How about a compromise? Give the pilots an audio channel so that anyone who wants to listen in (including "pa" announcements and atc chatter) can do so, and everyone else can sleep? That would be awesome.

It's also natural in conversations for the same reason. The filler noises say, "I'm not done talking yet. Please do not interrupt." It's easy to understand how conversational habits can slip into radio or PA communications.

He said pretty much the same explanation in another video I saw recently. And that the uuuh is just a carryover habit

Spot on

I used to be a trainer for civilian crowd response teams and get that... we would fill the dead air with all sorts but try not to say "Urrrr" as that would sound dumb or in fact that we had no authority.

yeah that's more along the lines of what I was thinking....Kind of, keeping it all in 1 unbreaking communication.

So sorry for your loss :(

I use benadryl.

I am also a fearful flier. I used to always ask the flight crew to play ATC over the headsets. After one flight from ORD to TPA I stopped and thanked them adding that I like hearing ATC since it allowed me to know in advance about turns turbulence, anything that would make me nervous. I could psychologically prepare myself for everything.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Shut up and let me watch the movie with sound!

That's fair.

Ye, weather reports etc are just kind of normal and comforting in a way. Like mo matter what hell there is in the world the weather will still do its thing.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lolololol love it

😂😂😂

Exactly! Im a nurse and really for health reasons alone they should exercise those calf muscles!! And as a person who has bladder issues ... to hear them talk about when to or not to use the WC just makes me kinda wince.. otherwise I love 74 gear!

When i see a pilot calm & relaxed i know there's nothing to worry about. All is well

That would be rich! But the Kens and Karens would pitch a fit, so . . . .

@@inconnu4961 they ruin all the fun

I feel like if the pilot did that I would of thought "Oh we going somewhere better than the other place? Okay I'm in"

👍👍 thank you for your time 😊.

ya a blast, we will have to do it again sometime!!

I'm getting ready for my first flight alone and I've been loving both of channels and videos!

Don't mean to be disrespectful Stella but I have to disagree with a few of your "annoyances". You stated that you don't like pilot announcements and pointing out interesting features along the route. Well what may be boring to you is very interesting to some of us. Myself I like them.I love flying and my nose is usually pressed against the window looking. You want us to enjoy the flight, well they contribute to that. You also stated you just want us to go to sleep and be quiet. That just sounds like laziness. I have felt MANY times by FAs that the passengers are just an "annoyance" they'd rather not be bothered with. While true you're primary function and role is safety a little less "attitude" would be nice. While I have experienced a GREAT many friendly, helpful FAs there are also many surly ones. btw my sister is a former FA and her husband a Captain for a major so I do know a little bit about the biz. Just my two cents anyway.

Awesome collaboration!

I love pilot announcements they reassure me

That shows how the mentality is already poisoned in a way the pilot believes his interactions are not welcome lol.

Then let first class passengers tell stories of how these inflated sky waitresses act like they are queen of the skies. But can't land a damn plane, or even stay in shape. JAL would never hire this bitchy beast.

So you were a granny when you retired... How I miss Pan Am.... Today's flight attendants are just sky waitresses.

I’d kill for a joke like this on my flight 😂😂😂

Brilliant

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it’s like white noise right?

That’s facts

Same! It really comforting and when the pilot doesn't communicate with the passengers it kind of gives me more anxiety, lol

Same here

That... my friend... is some darn good trivia.

DO MORE COLLABORATIONS

You deserve a medal! Thank you for this explanation!

Remember, the com systems in the spacecraft were usually set for voice actuation ( VOX ). The Aaaahhhh opens the mic so the first part of the first word isn't cut off. I don't remember John Glenn doing that, however.

@@bcgrittner They probably had 'Push to Talk' by then.

j2simpso ... it seems we’re going to have to uhh deplane because the uuuh crew has worked their maximum hours

Hi Hi UHHHHHHHH Thanks for flying with us uhh yeah

Hi Hi #RYANAIR

The most dreaded words from the captain are always in a language you don't speak on a super depressing tone, on a small regional flight in a foreign country, with not many people speaking English around you to ask wtf is going on.

Lol we pulled back out of the gate and waited for around half an hour. Turns out the atc and pilots were kind of arguing. A maintaince light came on so the atc made some people check it out and like the glass on a light on the wheel broke. It was like a hard landing before that. Pilots were saying”just let us fly to RDU” Atc be like “you have to come back to the gate by the rules” ITS FREAKING GLASS COVERING A LIGHT!!!!! then the pilot just said. Well folks we might have to have a bit of a delay. Half an hour later. Well umm a maintenance light came on. But the tower wants us to go to Raleigh. (Just in the backround I just heard”no they don’t”)

And I bet if that happened you'd be the first to file a lawsuit!

@@terrencebradley5417 Why would you make such a bet? Do you just assume a person who cracks a joke is a snowflake, or do you think you know me? Or maybe you are just an asshole who makes juvenile insults to any comment you don't like?

The best trans pac I ever had was when NO ONE made any announcements for the entire flight. The only disturbance was the seat belt bell going on/off periodically.

sign543 French flight attendants say ‘’ un passager qui dort est un passager en or’’. A sleeping passenger is a golden passenger.

In all fairness, the cabin crew is there to ensure the passengers are properly prepared for an emergency situation, and to assist the passengers during an emergency. Everything else they do in the name of "passenger comfort" is just a nicety tacked on by the airline. That's why I get so mad when I see passengers treating them like waitstaff, or worse.

@@GrubbyZebra That's great, but it's still their job. Don't believe I've ever seen a buffet on a plane.

@@tiamilo3673 the point is that cabin crew are not there to be your personal servant. They are there to perform a critical safety function as required by law. Passengers need to treat them appropriately.

Yes, this! When the pilot has got the time to talk about the weather or sights along the way you know everything is going well in the cockpit - no ongoing disasters

John McIntosh But not at 1am just as I’ve drifted off to sleep.

I love it as well. It's is so cool to hear the flight plan

I had the same... My parents and I were flying a lot! I asked for it on every flight. I remember going on a 737 to Bankgok... I guess from Phuket... and asking them if I could stay during landing... and they said: Yeah, why not. Oh man... That was amazing. Imagine you are like 10 Years old and you know you can be in there during the landing and then the seatbelt signs go on and the flight attendants just passing by and you start to think, that they forgot about you... But at the end I was able to be in the Cockpit. :)

damn so jealous

@@MaxBenn Yup, I would do the same on every flight. One gave me juice to drink out of in an airlines mug. They said " this mug, (with the airlines logo) is only allowed for pilots" before they put a plastic captains wing on my shirt. Those were the days indeed. SOOOO much has changed in the world. Must have been a nice view coming into Phuket over the water before landing. I go every year.

I remember that too, I visited the cockpit twice as a child. One of the times I was the only kid, who wanted to see the cockpit (or maybe others weren't allowed by their parents, because why would you ever not want to visit the cockpit?) and one of the pilots actually explained a lot of the instruments to me and showed me where exactly we would fly. He even explained a bit of physics to me, because, as he didn't know me, he thought it was safe to ask if I had any more questions. Little did he know I would go right for "How does a plane stay in the air, eventhought it's so heavy?". Super nice guy, will never forget it.

Something similar happened to me when I was 8, I was flying with my mom and she noticed one of the pilots was a female so she told me "look girls can be pilots too!". A flight attendant overheard this and told the pilot the pilot then called me into the cockpit and showed me around and gave me a little pin. I'll never forget it!

They teach us to talk like that...

@@Bigsky1991 Try that with ATC... Copy your request Mumble2237. Descend and maintain 6000 ft. Increase speed to 240 knots. Expect hold at PAYBCK with 1 minute legs until min fuel. 😉

Yes, when that happens, I can't help but wonder how they can keep a jumbo jet in the air if they can't even maintain a functioning PA system!

@@lisalu910 it's not the pa system

Thank you Will Ford. It bugs when that happens.

That's the best explanation I've ever seen

haha

The "uuuuh" thing also keeps the transmission channel reserved for the pilot, so nobody else is taking over in the comms. :D

Also reminds you when your done whatever that got you distracted that you where talking..... Also the bathroom thing could be once in air people's badders are destressing and the need to go is now awake for them.

It's so that the Mike doesn't go in and out. If the Mike doesn't hear anything it stops and it becomes silent. Not only does it derail your train of thought but someone else can start transmitting. At least that's why we do it on our coms.

Its cool, as long as he isn't carrying a chute.

If I was the pilot I would look at all the puzzled passengers and throw my hands up in the air and go “look no hands”!!!

Gotta say, it's nice to know some flights come with backup Pilots...lol

Not to fuel your anxiety, but there are no parachutes on normal commercial plains 😅

Or maybe its like - oh god this pilot keeps talking he is not focused, smart, or calm.

🤣

that's from a very old show of the Monthy Python team: "How to irritate people"

There's something on the wing. Some......thing.👹

But captain! Why are you trying so hard to distract everyone from the RIGHT engine?? 🤣

That's what am thinking! Lol

each and every state? Thats such a long announcement

@@74gear we usually don't take a flight that covers that many states 😉

Yeah, I had a pilot explain a short flight route once and I loved it! I usually fly 9 hs MVD to MIA so I would not like to hear about that particular route on a PA, but short ones are great!

Me too! (maybe not every detail but like 5 different cool things maximum)

I enjoy hearing landmarks, like when we flew past Mt Fuji headed to Korea. I was glad I didn’t miss that.

Good point, didnt think of that! Thanks for you service -UK

CrimePhoenix 27 even if you had the fuel, you’d have a rocky flight. Flying into Delhi always gives problems with smog haha. ILS ftw

If passengers are uncomfortable they let the flight crew feel that

You're right....it goes back to early flight training in small airplanes!! Uhhhhh...roger out!!!!:)

You most definitely fly or use David Clark’s a lot, only a pilot would think of that ..... lol

@@michaeljohn8905 I am a pilot. Yes. Well, student pilot.

That's actually a trick I was taught when I became a helicopter crewman - if you're using voice activation instead of a PTT to always begin with "Uhh" in order to activate the mic before it missed anything important. And that was even for internal intercom, I never talked on the radios where I worked in the back.

Automatic gain control is the term you are looking for.

LOL

onepropjock so once the mic is hot and they’re transmitting the mic is on a “vox” setting ?

I just wish that they would add a giggity whenever they reported a head wind.

@@toemblem yeeessss. That would be sooo funny. 😂😂😂

onepropjock: Exactly! We develop the habit so it carries over to other conversations. I learned it too but never really thought about it. LOL

@@ROTAXD No, but all the other people on the channel are waiting for the sound to stop from whoever is currently transmitting so that they can begin their own transmissions filled with um's, and uh's and vocal fry. Actually, I don't think it's a radio thing. That's just how people talk. It may be because a silence like that in a conversation is an invitation for someone else to say something, so people learn to fill the silences so they won't get interrupted when they know they have more to say.

I'm not a pilot myself but i've seen quite some videos about ATC communication or aviation in general. And i coulnd't agree more. Even moreso taking in account that not everybody speaks english fluently / is a native english speaker. I totally understand that while working at ATC time (management) is paramount. But those infos are coming in really fast.

Courtney Homan-Jones Agreed!!!

Probably against company regulations, but it would awesome to get a vlog of a day in the life of a crew.

I love when pilots talk about where we are flying. I’ve never been annoyed by the Ahhhhh

I would agree it's not a good idea during the early or very late flight but otherwise? Yes, please :) Still that's as a passenger, who doesn't fly often. I can understand how it can annoy flight attendants who heard it million times already. Still she said the love their passenger so suffer for our enjoyment :-D

Godfrey Poon I too enjoy the long PAs. Reassuring to hear the calm, confident voice of your pilot.

I don't. If it were up to me, they wouldnt do any PAs just to tell me about the weather at the destination. I looked that one up myself to dress and pack accordingly. And when I hear they do this while they have to do other stuff, I am even more inclined to say "just focus on your job, and that's certainly not reporting the weather".

i dgaf about cruising altitude or weather conditions I have multiple devices to tell me that crap just fly the damn plane and listen to ATC so we don't have to go around

Arghhhhh no

Same for me too

LOL. Reminds me of when I was little & my aunt convinced me her car had a "jet". It was her turbocharger kicking in.
