Lol people was saying this?

@@theHDRflightdeck yup 😂

I was remembering that comment from "replying to mean comments" during this whole video hahah

I never ever ever doubted it. Why would folks do that?

@@Finnec123 cos trolls be trolls?

I was thinking the same thing as he did it 😂

I thought the same thing

I thought that, too. A lot of work, but the result is outstanding.👍🏻🐀

Lol, more like 3 times as long, because then he has to watch to when he needs to cut it and cut it.

First time I appreciated that was an episode of Survivorman that they left some of the camera retrieval in the edit

What do you usally have when you go on a plane

he flies cargo

I want my pilot to look like a smart professional who complies with SOP. That is Standard Operating Procedures. ..... Start with the uniform. Not some scruffy freighter co-pilot that does not even wear a tie. What else does he miss!!???

@@daftvader4218 something tells me freighter co-pilots aren't exactly concerned with looks. It's not like you're greeting 200+ people every day moving cargo. Either way you sound like you have a personal vendetta against him for whatever reason. Clearly he does well at his job or he would be fired. Not only that, he seems to do his own video editing for his YT vids which for some people is another job in and of itself. I would cut him a little slack on his appearance, but idk that's just me. Ties are stupid anyways. Why would you voluntarily wear something that can be used to choke/grab you by the neck? Because fashion? Idk seems dumb to me, kinda like high heels. Totally unpractical.

@@nqglis he also does passenger he said in an interview, but 90% of the time he said he does cargo

Ye

As much as it would be cool to do, company ops regs would prevent it from happening. Maybe He could get a type of approval from the company similar to what that dude Swayne does over at the commuters.

The comment cut off at "how pil...." And for half a second I thought you would ask "how pillow talk with Kelsey looks like". Apparently my bf been gone for too long 😅 Cheers from 1 Daniel to another

For the 747-8 freighter he flies, the whole upper deck is essentially the crew rest area. Like on a passenger 747 there's a bunk room right behind the cockpit door. There's usually another bunk at the other end of the upper deck and the seating is usually like premium economy, 2-2, for the couriers and other crew. The loadmaster usually sits on the jump seat.

@@naturallyherb I was a loadmaster on C-141's in the early 1970s. When I got out, no real market for us. Apparently that has changed?

I always hated the American Instrument Plates for flying not like our easier British ones !

Really good idea

Ķ

@@Biggles2498 lol. You must have struggled at school if you think the US plates are complicated. Typical Brit, can’t get over the fact the empire has gone. You’ve been passed by bigger, better, faster. Deal with it.

I was just wondering how new pilots could learn the prep side since a lot of it seems to happen in isolation before the crew gets together. Great suggestion!

Yeah I'd love to spend an afternoon with Kelsey chatting over coffee. I bet we'd have some laughs

@@margotrosendorn6371 Yeah good coffee is always a great thing but I’d rather be slippin a new 747 - 8F with about 30 Knots of Crosswinds whilst watchin Kelsey rip a couple of his famous nervous looks from the right seat - yeeehaaaa 🤣

is* amazing.

This is fantastic. Love the format and the content. Not a pilot (should have been) but very into aviation especially airplanes. Thanks for this!

Your not into aviation? What do you find enjoyment in on the channel then ? 😂

thank Leah, glad you enjoyed it, maybe next I will do a super long flight so you can see how that looks

@@74gear yaaasass please do that would be great i really want to get into the aviation bigness. hopefully this summer I'm going to get my glider license. but this was supper cool to see love vids and the channel keep it dude.

@@EvanAviator Hes saying hes not into aviation but he likes the vlog let me just take the laugh emoji 😂😂😂😂😂😂

If I had to choose between those professions, I'd choose being a pilot (cargo flyer) over a truck driver. I love driving (and trucks are very cool, would love to learn how to drive one), and flying is a little scary and a lot to learn (I'm still new at it); but there are far fewer idiots in the sky than on the roads, and no central authority on the highways that you can talk to and who really want to make sure you reach your destination safely. Despite knowing of many ways my airplane can fail, I feel much safer flying it even at 12,500' with storm clouds around than I do driving in a lot of situations!

@@jcburleigh yeah that’s cool, I hear ya! I’ve always been captivated with the air cargo industry. Loved running shuttle trailers to the hub cross docks at the major airports across the country. Seeing the cargo planes and getting to deliver close to them as they were getting their pods loaded. Meeting the cool ramp workers too. I always found great personality at the ramps. Lots of places would get their tunes going and everything fell into a rhythm there and my trailers would get unloaded supper quick. 🖖🏼😎

@@jcburleigh umm i prefer driving trucks..i get to see everything god created on a daily basis up close&personal..i see all the new technologies,cars,trucks,rvs etc.. hot women in the summer and i can stop everywhere and eat everything and i can stay if i choose.. I control were i go,its not dictated 19yrs in. And when things change i have all the old memories. See one of the best things in life is memories and mine are very extensive and i could live in my head for a unknown amount of time off my memories. I get to be a part of the thing that takes me from place to place(truck),and if i see a new truck no matter the price,i can go get it. I can go on for a long time about the benefits of truckn..i can go to bars and do as i please and if i wake up and can't go, i don't have to.(this never happens because im professional) i do stay in the same hotels as the pilots.. i used to stay in Gulfport Mississippi at a hotel pilots stayed in and we would sit at the bar and talk. I definitely believe there is a nice correlation between the two occupations..and obviously i love&respect the pilots im subscribed to a pilot channel. i served aboard the USS Nimitz for 5yrs in a nuclear capacity and ive obviously been around many different types of aircraft and i take my hats off to pilots,our lives are made better because of their dedication and professionalism. But i don't know anything that beats my job. I would give anything to be around clean well dressed ppl such as a pilot, But i am that and i overlook everything else.. I just want to say god please continue to bless us all on different paths because we are all important in this pursuit of happiness and our dedication to make the world a better place 🙏

@@richardgibson4757 ok now I want to leave my job as a Senior Software Engineer and become a truck driver, lol!!

@@jcburleigh if i could fly and see UFO on regular basis i would stop truckn..thats one thing that could change my mind that i can definitely think of at this moment. They have the ability to get closer to them.we do on the ground as well, but it would be a awesome to be flying a big jet and see UFO.

@@74gear Please consider it! I'm sure it takes more time out of your day, but I really enjoyed it.

@@74gear If you can do one like this but of an international flight , that would be awesome. Great video! 👏

@@wfemp_4730 he also has to get permission from his company (possibly ups) to film

@@28morela definitely Atlas lol- UPS never flies passengers

Why? What? How? Do you fill the tanks using tea spoons? What could possibly take 8 hours? Do you actually fly during the preflight to make sure it flies?

Robert Heinkel thank you for your service my husband retired 35 years USAF. What a career you had! Thank you! 🇺🇸

Pilots claim flying a plane is the most boring and mundane thing ever, and honestly that should be a testament as to how safe planes have truly become.

We need to make a 747 model with a Bank of Utah livery painted on the side!

More companies should be more open and let pilots show off what their job looks like. Would benefit with hiring and help create more pilots

It does indeed work pretty well. I'm not a frequent traveler but I have had to deal with keeping bright parking lot lights out of a hotel room before.

I'm a night shift worker and have found getting used to sleeping with the lights on and having a loud fan or some other noise constantly will provide you with uninterrupted sleep. Takes about 3 months to get used to but worth it in the end. Good thing to use on babies too.

Live in Alaska for a year and you'll never need black out curtains again.

Stella taught us that

That's a great idea! 👏🏻 I always travel with an eye mask, so I never have that issue

That sounds super cool, did you like flying the 757 and 767 I’ve heard from other pilots they are awesome planes to fly

What is a UAL?

> very real and genuine person The 238 @ 2:38 begs to differ lol

glad you enjoyed it Paul, thanks for watching!

@@74gear I have a Brother who flew 747's for NW then Delta, his Wife was FA and they flew together for years. THEN one day an aviation accident they decided NO MORE together flights. An accident on their flight would mean several kids losing their Parents. Delta was essentially a "hostile" takeover as it was explained to me. The other takeaway was the difficulty to ever make Captain which he gave up on, and was able to manipulate his schedule and flew Asian routes to get time in quickly each month and maximize time off. When he flew for NW he used a program which submitted monthly schedule bids automatically, I think it was called "white night" or something like that. When he was BUSY flying, I was tasked with submitting all his data, and assisting with the endeavor. I know you never seem to divulge who you work for and I appreciate that. He did cargo flights for a LONG time, stationed in Anchorage, and he said flying cargo was preferred over dealing with those pesky passengers..... argh. With my SIL being a flight attendant, she told me SO many bizarre stories of stupid things stupid people did. Stay safe my friend. LOVE your videos.

@@Fay7666 Bro you watched that part of the video and didn't interpret that he was joking?

@@halcyonoutlander2105 lol true, but even the stories that aren't are fine for a 15 year old to hear imo

wow thats so cool Ken, glad you both enjoy them!

Very nice to have a son that is same interest/hobbies as you. Get him into radio control planes and in future most likely he be flying real planes :)

Hope you like it Miza

@@74gear Must have taken quite an effort for a "fake pilot" to fake all this. 👏 👏. Keep up the great work

I agree I love these types of videos!

its all KZfaq smoke and mirrors Wendy! you got it 👍

Doesn't everyone get up at 5 in the morning to go exercise? Not me!

I feel rhe same way Wendy!

@@jillcrowe2626 pretty common in the successful crowds of life.

Haha yeah, in one of the memes videos he also admitted "the first thing I do is walk to the kitchen to check the food". This video is evidence!

Ya that’s tinte typical but crazy times

Glad you liked it Andrea!!

@@74gear I recently found your interview on the Pilot to Pilot podcast. It gave a lot of context regarding your "pilot first, KZfaqr second" mentality, and it made me appreciate this vlog even more. I guess my point is, this was a lot of fun to watch, but I can understand if it's not a regular thing.

Definitely different than the normal

@@74gear Good vid dude!

Favorite ever? Ok good to know

@74Gear - I'd have to agree, this was phenomenal. You did a GREAT job!

@@74gear YES! Favorite ever. You did a great job; wonderful humor as always too.

@@74gear You might not realize how interesting you are. 😎

@@saginawdan I think one great attribute that Kelsey does so well is how succinctly he makes his point. “This how it is, this is why it is” and moves on in about 10 seconds total to the next topic. He’s really interesting because he keeps things moving along at a fast pace…. plus an interesting topic to boot.

It's all fake, just like New Zealand and the moon!

I mean, the fact that he knows how to work the coffee maker is obviously proof that he's cabin crew and not a real pilot.

The Flat Earth Society has members ALL. AROUND. the. GLOBE. Lol. I love it.

Honestly now, has the internet made _some_ folks actually stupider? They're so afraid of our tech driver changes that they're creating _and_ believing into these BS lies. Is it to keep themselves feeling safe or something? Are they _all_ trolls? *sigh

@@Digitalhunny About ten years ago someone in the pub was arguing that the Moon landings were faked on the Moon? His claim was that we had been visiting the Moon for decades before 1969, and that it was all done with alien technology!

Awesome! I currently work on the ramp for UPS! Have yet to work a 74, though my typical I’d 76

well I don't go downstairs too much cause its too damn cold down there but anytime the loadmasters came upstairs to talk to us about something I told them to grab a sandwich or chips and one loadmaster took several of my sandwiches downstairs to everyone downstairs who were waiting on the freight ... On a nice day when its nice outside I go outside like when I was in Houston I was downstairs talking with Mx for like 20 minutes while they were fixing a reverser... but otherwise I am a big baby and stay on the upper deck and out of their way I don't want to mess up what everyone is doing haha. Thanks for watching Dee glad you liked it.

@@74gear I was a loadmaster on C-141s. I presume your load masters fly with you? Or are they generally on the ground, stationary and just deal with the loads when they arrive and load up to depart? If I wasn't retired, it would be a great job for me

I used to load and unload cargo charters at SDF for Ford. Auto charters are usually factory parts which can be anything from brakes to body panels. Largest aircraft I ever offloaded was a DC-8 with several racks of frames for Ford Explorers. When loading, we were sure to strap everything down nice and tight so nothing shifts. I've seen enough to know some cargo shifting can cause an accident. Loading is really important.

@@74gear Thanks for the notice, but are you not super busy during the holidays? I worked at Portland and at this time we always had a 747 and a smaller jet and sometimes 2 747s. Can't believe you are flying only flight from Louisville to NYC. Maybe it's a west coast thing, but our jets always arrived between 5-6 am. We were told that cargo jets usually fly late night because air traffic is lighter. Is that true for you?

worst habit ever is being a bored eater.

@@74gear guess you're gonna have to keep walking a mile... 🤣🤣🤣

I know many other worse habits 🚬

eh beats trichotillomania. do you know how many times I've had to spin some yarn about a kitchen fire to explain where my eyelashes and brows went?

@@CL-we8tn in 18 minutes...🤣

Thanks for watching Truth

That is a great idea writing down ATC comments/instructions and reading it back to yourself!

that actually sounds good, going to try that! thanks for the tip!

What about the dispatch office? You could have touched on them a little bit.

I did notice one thing we didn't see, which is the down time between arrival at their destination and the departure on the return flight to their base station. Since Kelsey was working an afternoon-evening turn, it wasn't so bad. But it's a real bitch when you have cargo runs that launch in the evening and depart on their return leg to base in the middle of the night. The airline I worked for hauling freight, the inbound flights to Louisville generally arrived around midnight, then didn't depart until between 4-5am to return to their base with outbound cargo. Middle of the night down time with a noisy breakroom available to get snakes and maybe catch a short power nap before they had to start preparing for their departure. Sitting through this period really gives you insight into the life of a cargo pilot.

just passing along the tips that were given to me, just on a bigger scale thats all. Glad you enjoyed it Rick!

Thing about porridge is, it can be made of any grain: oats, barley, rice, etc. Oatmeal is specifically oat porridge. (Or the ingredient, oats ground or cut up for porridge, sometimes used in baking, like for oatmeal cookies.)

Oatmeal is the standard in the US. I will sometimes call it porridge if I'm feeling whimsical.

@@williampulley I'll do it if I'm doing that old-timey vaguely-English accent we've decided means "I dunno, something-something historical Europe".

In the US at least, what we call "oatmeal" is almost exclusively of the processed, rolled oat variety, almost always "instant" in context like this. Add hot water and it's ready. "Porridge" has only a small portion of the market for oats here, and isn't even sold in many stores. It may also be marketed here as "steel cut" but it's literally not even typically sold on the same shelf as the ubiquitous "oatmeal".

Goldilocks and the 3 bears, eh? 😂
