I really appreciate your vlogs! It’s cool seeing stuff like the flight plans, crew rest area, along with getting a feel for the schedule & logistics as a commuter. I’ve been considering this career & this is my favorite channel so far that I’ve seen for pilot vlogs. Great work

I appreciate and enjoy these videos. I am a former FedEx Express ramper (KMSY), driver (Chicago), and sorter (KORD). I left FedEx this past summer to have more time and flexibility for flight training. I'm now working on my instructor certs and hope to be at the regionals by summer 2024. FedEx is the goal so it's nice seeing a FDX pilot on here. Something to look forward to and it's nice having what feels like an inside look at FDX flight ops. Best of luck and happy flying, hopefully you guys and girls get the industry-leading contract, and keep up the excellent content!

Have a great new year. It was interesting to see what really goes on for the pilots. I am glad to see the airline respect the timeouts even when they are inconvenient. Turning into a pumpkin is such a fun way of summing up what happens.

Have you ever been a passenger on a flight when the pilots upfront make a move with the aircraft that makes you wonder, hmmm, I wonder what they're doing or I wonder why they did that? Has this ever made you concerned as a passenger or just curious?
@pilotpetefly Жыл бұрын
Hey there! No, not really an “move”. I have wondered “huh, how come we’re turning or going this direction”. Since I’m not up front i don’t know the exact reason right away. But it’s usually bc of ATC or other reasons. So I’m never nervous about it, just more curious than anything

What’s your favorite airline to fly on?
@pilotpetefly Жыл бұрын
I personally think they’re all the same; they all have pros and cons. I love JetBlue, free Wi-Fi and snack and best seats, but I can’t go many places international with them. Delta has great customer service, and United gets me all over the world on some nice layflat beds!

Hi Pete I am an airline pilot currently on A320, wishing to work in Fedex or UPS someday. In your video I see you got your deadhead fare from your company if you choose not to ride them. Is it same for the international deadhead? As my family is living in Korea I guess I can pick up all the deadhead travel starting from Japan China and HK which is basically 2hours flight from Korea, if I can get a deadhead fare calculated based on departure from the USA that is a lot of money . Wonder this is feasible, if so how much seniority should I have to get this deadheads? Thanks in advance
@pilotpetefly Жыл бұрын
Yep, you get the DH fare from your base, to the where your trip starts or ends if not in base, including international. Not too much seniority, I was holding at least front or back end DHs within 6 months on the 767. Most pilots are commuters, they usually do go more senior though. I’ve been here 2.5 years, only have been able to get 2 trips with double deadheads to Europe for example
@NYCgragas Жыл бұрын
@@pilotpetefly Wow so if there is a trip starts and ends in Japan and if my base is LAX I can collect all those business trip fare. That’s insane amount of money lol . Wonder same rule apply in UPS. Only problem left for me is getting hired in FEDEX..

Did you get hired and then all of a sudden change your base? NO THEY DID NOT. Why don't you talk about why you do not live where you are based? Why don't you talk about why you CHOSE to commute? YOU chose to commute. It was YOUR decision. Do not make a sob-story that makes the uninformed think that this is something your company has made you do. MOVE if you don't like it.
