    Watched this the first time in 2013 when I was 15 years old and it was still a dream. I’ve watched it so many times since then, especially when life was difficult and challenging. Passed my CPL ME IR checkride a week ago. Still can’t really believe it
    Update: after two years of searching for a job I‘m now flying as a first officer on a private jet. Happiest I’ve ever been

      Yes when you're 25 and single. When you go over 30, are married and have kids, its not that great anymore, missing so many weekends, never being home, missing your kids birthdays and football games etc. It becomes a compromise between qualifying as a pilot or spending time with your family... And its great travelling to places in the beginning but eventually you just want home to your family. Many pilots quit when they get older and go working as an engineer or something like that because of this.

      @sngwrter49 Před 5 lety +17

      @@mattolmstead6150 I would say to anyone who is interested in aviation and wants to fly for a living is to become aware of the realities of the endeavor first, such as 1) Obtaining the licenses and ratings necessary for professional flying is expensive, 2) Getting there takes time. No one cares about your newly obtained pilot certificates, employers want experience. Getting that experience usually means becoming an instructor and taking any kind of flying job you can get to build your flight time and the pay during this period of building your flight experience is often very minimal. 3) When you get there be prepared to work odd hours, being away from home and flying bad weather at times. Your passengers will typically have no idea what IFR, wind shear, convection or airframe icing mean. They just want to get to their destination and expect you to get them there just as if you're driving a car. 4) Always remember critical errors can be fatal and there is that possibility something could happen beyond your control. That inherent risk is always an aspect you assume for choosing a career that is a non 9 to 5, non-desk oriented occupational activity allowing you to fulfill your dreams of traversing the brilliant blue and sometimes gray and cloudy skies unlocking the mysteries of professional flying and traveling to interesting places. As a retired corporate pilot my recollection is having to get to the airport early in the morning before everyone else to get the aircraft ready, flying my passengers to their location and having to sit around for hours (often huge downtime. A smartphone would have been a great asset in those days) waiting on the passengers to return for same day flights and often having to go AFTER the weather for the return flight starts going to crap while you're thinking "why couldn't you guys have been ready an hour ago when the weather was fine?" I' ve talked with many other pro pilots and the consensus is usually that flying stopped being "fun" a long time ago. Yet we still must fly. So, that's my point for anyone thinking they might want to fly professionally. Just "wanting" to be a pilot is not enough. It's something you feel you MUST do. And, I suppose that holds true for many other abstract and possibly tenuous career choices. Yet, above all that, I can't think of anything more challenging and thrilling at the same time than professional aviation.

      It's certainly not fun everyday, I can find hundreds of drawbacks to the job. However I make videos because I love the job, not because I hate it.
      To be fair, most of the points I don't like are related to the airline I fly for, not the job itself.
      The things you mention are North America specific. There's no such thing as instructing for hours on end in Europe, most people start on heavy turboprops and medium jets straight out of school here (the few who are lucky enough to get a job), we almost never taxi for more than 15min, money is usually decent even in the low cost airlines, moving up the ladder is a lot faster than in the US (upgrade, base transfer, ...) and we spend most nights home with family. I have way more time off than I had with my previous non-flying jobs.
      Drawbacks? Unhealthy working hours, fatigue, not fun to share the flightdeck with someone you don't get along with for up to 12h, things often don't go as planned (take-off slots, tech and pax issues, delays, weather, ...), time pressure, responsibilities, constantly tested (sim rides, line checks, medical, Safa checks, ...), cost of training and licenses, lack of jobs (over 80% of fully qualified European pilots do NOT get a job), ...
      Still love the job, but that's just me.

    I remember the first time I watched this video; it was probably mid 2015, and I was on my lunch break at my retail job when I stumbled across this. I had no flight time and I was trying to figure out which training avenue to take after almost a lifetime of thinking about flying. 3 years later, I'm watching this again while awaiting my flight instructor checkride and so much closer to flying these jets than I ever thought possible. Been an amazing and immensely rewarding journey so far, and it's fun to come back to this video to remind myself why I started this whole thing in the first place. Thanks for making this, definitely one of the coolest and most inspiring aviation videos on YT. For those of you that want to do this, get out there and start your training! Yes it's expensive, but I can tell you that there are all kinds of ways to finance the journey; just takes a little bit of research. It will be the best decision you make! Especially for those of you that have been bitten by the aviation bug; I promise that the only way to scratch that itch will be to get out and fly :)

Tireless nights of studying on layovers as cabin crew, having to study during my breaks on long haul flights. I always returned to this video for motivation. I am happy to share that I have finally achieved this goal I set out to achieve. A Commercial Pilots License with Multi Engine Instrument Rating. I can't thank you enough. The journey has just begun. Nothing is impossible!! Absolutely everything is Possible with determination, sacrifice and consistency. Thank you so much once again!!
