Yeah the music and the editing made for some pretty hilarious clips especially the “nap” during traffic.

I totally agree!

Agrre.

Agree.

I think Kelsey has found his vibe. It's cool to watch him make his 007 moves to skate through customs!

he actually has virtually no technical details, unfo

@@NikolaiUA Well, to be fair he does do occasional analysis of various aircraft incidents and accidents, in which he (naturally) explains these details. I agree that those are not his usual video format, but still, he does provide some of this. Regardless, I think we would both agree that those are not really typical for his channel, and most of the time he is relating his personal experiences. And that angle keeps me interested.

@@usaturnuranus I agree! I absolutely love Kelsey's vlogs. I also love all the personal anecdotes he shares in his analyses videos. It's so fascinating to get a peek into the day-to-day life of commercial pilot. I fly several times a year as a passenger. With the locked cockpit doors and all that, it's easy to forget that there are actual humans up in front, controlling the plane. Also, Kelsey knows that his audience is the general public, and I'm glad he doesn't get too deep into the technical details. The average person, myself included, would have trouble understanding that stuff.

"these folks who we trust with our lives" Just curious...do you say the same thing about your Uber driver, bus driver, or any friend who gives you a ride? How about the people who inspect the meat you buy at the grocery store, or the chef who prepares your meal at a restaurant? The electrician who wired your house? The mechanic who replaces your brake pads?

@@adiinbar993 Do you say the same thing about your plumber, who ensures that your toilet flushes away your waste properly? Or about your tailor, who makes sure your clothes fit nicely? Or about your baker, who makes delicious sourdough bread to nourish all of you, including: you, your Uber driver, your meat inspector, your chef, your electrician, your brake mechanic, your plumber, and your tailor?

One important factor there is control. flying the aircraft is being in control.

It's a bitch: having to live around your job.

This reminds me of teaching. The actual job is easy. The planning, grading, communicating with parents is the pain

😂so true lol

@@Xamry🎯🎯🎯

I sat near dead head pilots a lot lately. We talked about APU and airport map layout. They study or rest like us. I met many as an aircraft mechanic in USAF. Long ago; we socialized and studied airplanes together. They're humans & nutty, fun.

Totally agree 👍

The priorities of every road warrior.

I’ve got three million miles plus as a passenger, and the only thing I’ll add is “made the upgrade list.”

@@Bill_N_ATX wow nicee, what is your job?

@@lora4624 I’ve been an IT geek for about thirty years. Sadly the recent lockdowns have taught our customers that the geek doesn’t always have to be on site, so I’m not traveling nearly as much as I used to. Plus, it’s not nearly as nice as it used to be. The whole air travel experience as been going down hill for the last thirty years. As a business traveler who flew 100k plus every year, they used to treat you as a king. Now, they don’t care. The exception is some of the Middle Eastern or Asian long haul carriers. The domestic carriers are shells of their former selves.

HAHAHA! This is perfect. So who’s Binky the Clown? 🤣

😂😂😂 cute

"I don't like to fly on Mondays."

@@VictoryAviation The one getting kicked off the plane??

the real question is whos nermal? @@VictoryAviation

Plus if there's an issue with it not going off it's THEIR fault, not yours!

He certainly isnt flying Monkey Class like scrubs like me!

The alarm says Crew Connect, which is a third party app. It can download your schedule from the company and offers a more friendly UI with several features, but you set your own alarms.

Also, you have to hit a button to download the schedule, it won't automatically check for updates like delays, AFAIK.

@@jblyon2 eh no blame shifting :p you want a raise? Do a little extra. Unless you're at one of those places where it doesn't matter what you do, in which case, spit in their onion rings.

I noticed that too😄

I imagine a lot of people have to perform in a safety-relevant role soon after a flight

It should probably be okay for jobs to give you some related perks as long as they're not horribly unfair to everyone else.

Pilots getting to skip lines, total agreement. (My Dad was a Flight Engineer; flew Evergreen, Emery, MGM Grand, and with maybe a few other carriers. Love you Dad, RIP.)

I'd actually be fine if they could use it even if they're a paying passenger on vacation, as long as it doesn't hold up the crew line. It's one less person in the long line, plus it's a perk of the job

I was always taught to make room for pilots and crew so they could get where they need to go. Partially manners, partially because anything that delays them will delay the whole flight too.

Agreed. I love seeing the different types of food set-up they have in the lounges too.

I’m sure anyone who flys with Kelsey feel they’re on an adventure too!😂

who did the music fx track? impressive!!

Absolutely!

They’re called vlogs

If he goes to south states he will see even more goodness

❤ I know, right?!

I say the same thing about Colombian woman!

Maybe she was excited to have a back up pilot on the flight 😂

@@kimberlywoodbury1739 😂🤣😂

The swagger the uniform gives him and the swagger he gives the uniform😂😊 Go Kelsey! ❤

Don't forget the smile and them dimples ❤

Agreed!! He's ADORABLE!

Every ride in Sao Paulo is like an hour+, even if you're just going to a hotel nearby, the traffic congestion is unlike most places I've ever experienced.

Especially the reverse Jedi Mindtrick... "This is not the nap I was looking for..." haha... ;o)

His face though 😑 Oh man I felt for him! 😅

@@overcomingobstaclescreates1695 Agreed!

Ngl that sounds like the beginnings of a nature documentary parody. “The elusive airline pilot in his natural habitat” 🤣

@@Boundwithflame23 get Dave Attenborough on the phone 😆

But if I did that they would probably say I'm being weird and kick me off. One standard for him another for me. 😢

He has a hole where his stomach should be

Pilot likes ertang free 😂 atlas air

@@CL-we8tn Hollow legs 😂

Everybody gets free food for long-distance flights.

I heard he screamed at you for making eye contact.

It seems like a pretty nice *butter* landing

87 likes and no comments? let's fix that

I don't know if that's allowed anymore... Maybe it is

@@JakeDaBossmaybe before or after the flight, never during

​@@JakeDaBossSam Chui and also some other vloggers sometimes get allowed on the flight deck during the flight. But I assume you will need some sort of credential for being harmless, background check or personal relationship to the Captain for it to be allowed.

@@laaaliiiluuu More importantly, these aviation vloggers got permission from the company before they fly, so you can be sure that their PR will get all necessary paperwork done or they'll reject the request.

I wish I could go on cargo flights in the jump seat, but I am not in the industry at all.

Yes he is!! Also Juan Brown, is also pretty awesome

Or you know she was just being nice. It’s not like I don’t have conversations like that from time to time and I‘m neither famous nor particularly good looking.

Seemed like a normal amount of friendly to me.

I think pilots are arrogant often, like he admits, it's not appealing in the least. Don't see the appeal in pilots personally.

@@Chris-fn4df It was. He's just arrogant.

If you want or need visceral cargo related terror, have you seen that video of the tractors shifting on takeoff and crashing the 747, I think it was an american plane in Afghanistan? Ever since I saw that I feel absolutely sick when I watch cargo flights take off. Guys never had a chance, but they eould have if Kelsey had been there.

@@aircastles1013 yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. That image of physics at its cruellest is seared into my eyelids

I thought about the same accident. Very important to have that cargo secure!

The video of that accident was terrifying. Great reference for why checking if cargo is secure is so essential.

@@aircastles1013 they were not tractors ir head watch video a hole

Bro, prolonged sleep deprivation almost guarantees brain damage. I think you should renegotiate your contract to ensure your safety. Your employer won't give a damn if you get dementia decades after your employment. Workers safety goes first!!

Im sure there's something you could do to sleep 9 hours most nights

Yeah I know it! It's not schedule or contract, but just constant days/nights/day/nights... circadian rhythm gets totally smashed doing that... circadian non-rhythm.

I WISH! I have tried every over the counter and prescription sleep aid legally found in the US market. I even racked up almost 80K in debt 15 years ago trying to solve this with (useless) doctors... had to file bankruptcy as a result... Even if I have nothing happening, I can only sleep 3-4 hours at a time, 5-6 absolute tops, and that's only after not sleeping for 48 hours and climbing 14ers all week... I have cut my caffeine intake down to only 4-6 ounces of coffee per day, attempting to eliminate it entirely. It seems to be helping: I have also found a ton of research showing how any amount of caffeine consumed regularly 'accumulates' (the body gets used to it- I forget the term they used) and has detrimental effects on long term sleep... their hypothesis is this is why elderly people have a hard time sleeping, because of all the coffee they drank in their 20's and 30's... Not sure if I believe all that, but I am on a mission to eliminate caffeine! Honestly, the only other thing I have tried that has helped with sleep has been my recent adventure into the Carnivore diet... all animal based diet. still only 5-6 hrs, but that sure beats the 1-2 hours of sleep I was getting when I was a vegetarian and the 3-4 on a "regular" healthier than most american's diet. (I have literally been trying, and will continue to try EVERYTHING that might help- legally that is)... My hope is to figure this out- perhaps use this to help people (pilots mainly) find better ways of battling fatigue and lack of sleep, than what the currently literature holds.

@@chopperskier damn I see... thanks for your sacrifice man! At least you get to fly a helicopter XD

Legend is that some people still refuse to believe that he’s a pilot 😂

I mean he didn't fly any planes the whole video.... conspiracy confirmed....

most pieces to camera?

You are right that the Airline dictates what they can say or do. You never hear a pilot name the airline they fly for, which is silly because if I knew which airline people like Juan Browne, Captain Joe, Kelsey, and Mentour pilot flew for, I'd want the flight they operated if I booked a ticket with that airline. You would think the airlines would welcome the free publicity.

@@TheGospelQuartetParadisehonestly I feel these pilots deserve the focus and relaxation without notice that the airline anonymity allows them. Let the content feed you without needing to impede on their daily lives.

Noone has ever made me want to fly more than Kelsey. He is so spontaneous and honest, about his job and his life, I'd love to spend some real time around him but I have to admit, the hotel life & living out of suitcases gets old pretty quickly.

@@gtfg3800 definitely, at some point I'd wanna slow down and enjoy the area rather than skip around the world

@@TheGospelQuartetParadise I thought it known that Kelsey works for Atlas air. Is that incorrect............?

Riveting? What are your hobbies? Just curious...

right, if you cut all that out then he is just a bus driver lol.

Wow. That's awesome! Do you mind saying what sort of job gets you a diplomatic passport for two decades?

@@PsRohrbaugh Foreign Service Officer

I carried a D-1 for a couple of years, it did make life easier on a couple of occasions.

I was a US federal agent for twenty one years (FBI and DEA). We were required to fly armed when on duty, and allowed to fly armed off duty, on US flights. And, I flew armed on a few international flights (when flying to countries that allowed us to carry firearms). The pros, was getting to walk to the head of the security lines and getting to board before everyone else so you could introduce yourself to the captain and crew. The con was, you couldn't drink alcohol before flying or on the flight. And, if there was a problem passenger, you would sometimes be asked to deal with it (my partner had to handcuff and sit on an out of control drunk half a flight one time).

@@ralphholiman7401 Wow that's so cool. Thanks for the reply!

And why " blur their faces" ? They are criminals, causing problems, in public. Show their faces. Don't worry, they have no shame . . . ☆

I bet she was like "Oh that is a trip I want to go on."..... Now for me if I go on a trip to anywhere it would be country's like Canada, Sweden/Norway that has the cold....

​@@jonathanbair523Oooo, you must be somewhere warm! My sister from India was thinking of visiting me in FEBRUARY - she reconsidered when I told her how it is in W NY that time of year...😱

And this positive attitude and behaviour creates a positive feedback loop and everyone levels up and has a great time.

Yeah, I’ve never understood rudeness. It really bothers me.

But I NEED to speak to the manager NEOW!

And in my experience, the cabin crew always reciprocates friendliness and appreciation. I haven’t paid for booze onboard in _years_ simply by always being nice to the crew.

What is a line check airman (but there must be line check airwomen too)?

It was indeed beautiful.

"That's ok, right?" was definitely a thing of beauty. 😆

The moment of suspense before the guy says "It's okay"

I do the same thing but in different circumstances. Also, if u keep yr head down and walk fairly fast and look kind of bored like u do it every day u can get in and go thru a surprising number of places.

@@maryeckel9682 LOL could almost see the gears in his head turning.. (He looks to be a pilot, umm if I say no and it is ok how much trouble will I be in... What the heck, he looks like the aircrew...) "It's okay"

yeah have you seen the hate he gets? I recently found this channel but he seems like a really kind and down-to-earth kind of guy. I really don't get why he would be a target for such vitriolic

So true he gets so much hate and he is such a nice guy

​@@rayleekarraker6471Why so much hate? Makes no sense...😮😮😢

lol dudes will hate on anything lmao. Most likely jealousy dudes living the life we all wish we did

I would say flying..... Some of the airports when you gotta taxi look like they are going all over the place to be put in a holding spot till there gate opens up... Then there is also weather and flight changes in air.

Flying a plane you train for, personal logistics seem to be shifting all the time and you need to improvise.

The answer is actually taxiing the plane.

Free food and sleep. Wise man.

Taxiing, I think flying is only hard when things go wrong.

If you are a guy, trying to have casual conversations (something in the past generations was just basic manners) can land you in the creepy camp just because someone has a chip on their shoulder. I remember one trip where I sat next to a woman and it was going to be a 3 hour flight. I am in my 40's and she was in her 20's for context. I never made an advancement to this young lady. I simple asked "Since we are both heading to the same destination, do you know where the hot spots are in the area where young people like yourself enjoy the nightlife?" I was asking because I took the trip feeling old and unwanted at turning 40 and though checking on the young party scene could be fun. I was told to my face "Eww. Stop talking to me to you old creep". I didn't say another word for the next 2 hours and even 3 years later I remember the words and how it felt. All I'm saying is be kind to each other. Words hurt,

@@SSingh-nr8qz She sounds like an awful person and not worth your time to be honest!

Sounds to me like you are nervous speaking to young women. Instead of starting a serious conversation, say something completely neutral. People often start talking about the weather or something else inconsequential. Be relaxed and friendly. Sometimes it's best not to even look at a person at the first part of the conversation. If you're nervous say that you're nervous. That will help to explain your body language. If the person is sporting something out of the usual, compliment it.

the opposite sex isn't a different species, just be polite, respectful and conversationally cautious as you would with any stranger, but otherwise open and friendly.

​@@SSingh-nr8qz Speaking as a woman here, that is a pretty creepy thing to say. I know you didn't mean it that way, but you don't start off a conversation like that. You seem to be implying that young lady was rude and hurt your feelings, but the fact of the matter is that you likely scared her. You gotta learn how to talk with women. If an older dude said something like that to me, I'd presume that he's a creepy guy trying to look for a barely legal girl for a one-night stand. You should save that type of question for the concierge at your hotel. Instead, stick to safe topics, like the things you look forward to on your upcoming trip, your experiences with the TSA, how easy or hard it was to book your tickets, funny anecdotes about your trip to the airport, your pets, etc.

Simp more.
