Pilot or not, this content is insanely good. The whole production really. I’m starting my training (at 29) next week and this channel has made me realize that yes, commuting is going to suck-but the pros substantially outweigh the cons. Love the channel, love the personal touches. I’ll be there for the next layover. Cheers!

I loved how you kept the video engaging and family focused. As someone considering training to become a pilot I’ve worried about how that would impact my future family. This video showed me that while pilots aren’t always at home, they have great opportunities to spend quality time with their family all over the world! Thank you for being real in this video. Too many KZfaqrs create videos of their perfect lives and cut out the kinds of things that you included like flights not going according to plan, camera awkwardness (with your wife in the bloopers lol), etc. I liked and subscribed and can’t wait for more videos like this one!

First of all, I stumbled across your channel and have been loving it. Secondly, you have an absolute beautiful family and you are teaching them patients when travel. I think that's most critical when you decide to travel around the world is be in the moment, and enjoy the journey. I lived in Atlanta for 35 years and traveled all that time. I'm a million miler on Delta but recently downsized and moved to Greenville GSP. Most of my flights are now GSP to ATL to my final destination. Thank you for making the world smaller and taking me along with you! Travel safe.

Your video is why I started to work for an airline as my “retirement” job after 28+ years working for the local government. Almost two years an averaging a trip a month getting ready to head to England and Scotland in a week or so. I agree that non reving generally leads to flying an “odd” schedule I look at it from the standpoint that the object is to get on the plane and then be sat as comfortable as possible

Earlier this year I flew into CDMX from IAH with United and with my Bernese Mountain Service Dog. Immigration was backed up and I missed my connecting flight by 5 minutes. Me and my SD needed fresh air so went outside and plopped down. The gate agent from United walked by us. He had answered a question for me when we got off our flight. When he noticed us he stopped and asked me what happened. He knew I had a connecting flight. I explained the situation. He said come with me. He got us a room at the Camino Real and gave me meal vouchers. He was soooo nice to do this. I fly ALOT with my SD and had never been treated so well. We love United Airlines

Love the videos, and love your family. My brother in law is a training captain for the Dreamliner at British Airways. So I’ve had some amazing trips with him. Mostly manage to get first class on the outbound and after 3 days of layover with the crew, we know them so well, we let them sit down in first class and serve them, provided its empty of paying passengers. Other benefits we get are airline floors in hotels with dedicated checkin and concierge as well as crew transfers to and from the airport. I’m waiting to get to fly the SIM some time. We also get upgraded frequently when we fly BA.
