Hey Pilot Blog! Thanks for this awesome reaction to my video. It’s always a pleasure to have the insights of an experienced pilot! I tried to do my best to accurately represent the struggles of the job! Thank you again :)
OMG OMG OMG
Man, You are doing fantastic job!
@@PilotBlogDenys Denys, GLORY TO UKRAINE.
The man himself!
omg@@Johnny-df1mi
This is a crossover I wasn't expecting lmao
Gold
Keep up the amazing work! This is not just a reaction, it's a full analysis!
This is what a reaction video should be, instead of nothing more than a person watching the original vid and chuckling or nodding in agreement at various points.
In Sweden becoming Pilot is not only free, the state also pays you just to go to college
Man is this real
@@Pratikchobhe Yes, sadly you have to be a Swedish citizen however.
Me onw to get a Swedish citizenship 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
20 spots with an average of 500 applicants though.
@Sknasen Only 500? There was a cadet scholarship for British Airways, completely paid for, a few months ago. When I applied I was listed as the 8,200th applicant.
This is so cool Denys, I didn't realise you were back on this channel with new content.
It's awesome to see you in your element -hope you'll be flying again soon.
Cheers, and wishing you and your family the best festive season you can have. 🎄
This is an prime example of what a reaction video should be. A proper analysis.
when he said "thats an airbus mic not a boeing" i was like BOOOOOM level 60 pilot knowledge own (as a joke of course)
Well that was a great commentary and hell of a video :DD Had a nice time watching, thanks Captain!
Dude, I freaking love this video. It really does a good job of showing the difficulties of the career in a fun down to Earth way.
I remember one time I bid a trip to JFK cause I was gonna get a 15 hour layover in Jersey City at a hotel I like right in downtown. Well it turns out they changed it for one in front of the Jersey Gardens mall. On top of that, it was rush hour and took us 2 hours to get there to cross Manhattan to get there. The morning was the same with traffic. In the end, the layover ended up being only 11 hours (100% legal minimal rest). I was so pissed just like the poor guy! XD
I never bid another 15 hour layover again! 😂
Denys!!!!! Stay Awesome ❤✈ Hopefully Home Sweet Home can come back soon!!!!! Many thanks for this video 💕💕 Xx..........
I have already been watched this content in recent days but watching it through a captain's point of view is a privilage 👌
Greetings from Antalya, Turkey 🇹🇷
ohhhh i went to Antalya airport in turkey , the Mediterranean sea is truly lovely but i didnt stay in Antalya i went to a small down called Göynuk.
Sometimes i feel excausted as a passenger, so for the pilots and cabin crew is way harder if you think that the scedule is 24-7.
Same, every time I fly, I can’t sleep because I have to make sure I wake up 3 hours early to beat traffic and lines. And it’s also a mix of anxiety and excitement. And I literally feel like a zombie while traveling until I get to the hotel.
I remember only getting 2 hrs of sleep when I flew to Hawaii. Then when we got to our place, we weren’t allowed to check in yet. We had to wait 2 hours outside to check in. And we had groceries with dairy. I just wanted to sleep. But my aunt wanted to start exploring already 😅 she’s the only one who got enough sleep. A good 7 hrs.
Denys, thanks for sharing this with us. It's always fun seeing others work humor. I found your reactions very funny. Some of the radio chatter can be very funny. While flying with a friend we were diverted because of some military "Shenanigans" (this was the actual word used on the radio) when some F-16's were in our area. It must be fun! Boys and their toys.
the funny thing with “rest period” is its based on how much money the airline will lose the longer you stay on the ground. I mean, rest period starts right after chocks in. While you are literally walking yourself outside of the cabin, through immigration, and exit the airport and repo your ass on the shuttle service to your hotel, REST PERIOD has already commenced. Your drive to work already saps your energy And your duty time starts an hour and forty five minutes before departure, your rate only starts once you have sent your acars(attendance) from inside the cockpit of the aircraft. But with all the papers you have to go through (diversion airports, certificates, weather reports, notices to airmen, flight plan, etc) reporting on time would literally mean you’ll be unprepared for the flight. Then you get the f*king jet lag. Today you fly to a +3 utc, four days later, you are back home to a +9 utc with one day off only to fly the following day a 16 hour flight to a -5 utc. You haven’t even recovered from the jetlag from your previous flight, you are already battling a 16 hour shift. And, the most important part, every 6 months, we undergo proficiency checks where literally our jobs are at risk. The test involves a series of ‘’god says fuck you’’ type of events in a span of 2 hours. During your day offs, you also have to answer to emails and you also have to do computer based trainings which have exams btw. Each enrolment have exams at the end of the lesson, you fail those exams, you get grounded with no pay. You need a different type of mentality to get yourself in to this kind of profession. Pursuit of money is not enough to get you to stay in it. Its not the most difficult job or the most dangerous, but it’s a damn pretty hard job for sure.
Yup. I had my transition training this year during the Summer. To me it feels like Summer 2023 never existed. All those camping trips, BBQs, beach days never existed. As far as I'm concerned, the world stayed in perpetual cold.
@@TrainerAQ I feel you brother. SAFE SKIES TO all us all.
You do realise that's the case for every single job ?
@@CatroiOz no. I'm a interpreter, we don't do that.
Hello enys:)!
Very enjoyable video:)! I can definitely relate to some of what is presented here, though I was a Flight Attendant instead of a Pilot. As you say, many things related to working hours are controlled either by the country your carrier is based out o, or by your negotiated contract. One thing that you didn't explain was what "Duty Time" is compared to "Flight Time." Still, I know exactly what you mean by each of those:). Also, one thing the video failed to mention is the random "Drug Screenings" that often go along with international flights. They can eat away at your time off as well. In general, though, the video was very interesting and funny:)! Thanks or sharing it with all of us, and I wish you and your family an awesome week:)!

Flying to Kathmandu with an ATR-72? Interesting...🤣
you should consider doing video analyzes more often it's interesting I like your content and a lot of courage to you
Hi dennis! Thank you for your commentary videos I gain a diffrent perspective🎉👑
Hi Pilot Blog! What is the hardest job in your eyes? Being the Pilot or the Co-Pilot while flying the aircraft? Also great video! Keep it up!
Denys, nice video! Don’t know if I was a passenger on your flights but I was frequently on UIA and windrose flights
Thanks Denys, funny reactions for sure and a good story from ZBS😅
Thank you, Denys! It is really very enjoyable to have your professional insights. Slava Ukraini!
Lol. This was my first few years at my regional in the US. 24 years ago, I was eligible for food stamps for the first 6 months while I was flying passengers. Time has changed over here for sure!!
what does flying passengers mean and why do pilots have to do that?
Any better now?
@@ibbie2139 I have forgotten. Boxes only now!
@@ibbie2139 I guess he means when he got his license for flying passenger airplanes opposed to cargo freighters, there are pilots that fly cargo and others that fly airliners
Yes! He’s back!
Wojak and ZBS will become a legendary channel lol. I'm a trucker and was very amused by the trucker video depiction.
It's just nice to see you smiling for once!!😎💙👍
Here in Brazil, The cost to become a commercial pilot is 180 thousand to 200 thousand, and private is 50 thousand to 100 thousand. Everything is expensive here 💩🇧🇷💩
😮 good gosh. Her in USA in NC the highest institute is $120k if you go through fast track 12 months less. It’s less like 70k if you do everything on your own
@@kuroe-chan5190 The price difference is big😮 You're lucky, it's much easier.😅
@@kuroe-chan5190 The difference is absurd 😱 and look, these values I entered were minimal, because it can reach up to 400 thousand If you consider additional costs for some certifications. Someone might say: "ah, but your currency is worth much less than the dollar, 🇺🇲US$1 = 🇧🇷R$5.15 Despite this large difference, For us who live here it doesn't mean anything.
Everything is "200.000 BRL", thats equal to 40.000 USD, so not that expensive if compared with Europe and NA. (for brazilians is hella expensive, because they earn way less, but overall not that expensive tbh)
@@toshiodocs Yes, following this line of reasoning, this is one of the problems, the salary is very low, it is actually quite unfair.
Ive Been a long time viewer and subscriber of your content Denys keep up the good work!
Absolutely loved this. Thank you.
In EASA (Europe) rest time is the same as previous duty time or 10 hours whichever is greater. I can't imagine how good it would be if our rest time was twice as much as duty time, but fortunately it is not and many pilots operate even night duties of over 10-12 hours with only just enough time to get to the hotel, have some food, sleep and go back to work.
yeah did many times
There was some video you posted a long while back where it was quite cold and you wanted to be sure of just how cold. You popped open the window in the cockpit and poked out of the window and said something along the lines of yep it's cold :D. Best funniest thing I have seen and made me a fan of your work.
Here in Mexico, I live about an hour away from the AICM (Mexico City's International Airport), and there's a hotel near my house. I've seen multiple times how some airplane crews arrive at that hotel, and I have always thought that it must be extremely annoying for them to be so far from the airport, especially since, during peak hours, the traffic from the hotel to the AICM can take around 2 or even 3 hours. The only good thing is that it is a very comfortable 4-star hotel.
Yaaa... that's real Kathmandu, Nepal!
Wow I haven't seen anything from you in forever. I was worried.
It was only 7 days…
are you slow
@Anotherandomstreamer let me clarify.. clearly his content is not being promoted because I have seen nothing come across my subscription feed of his for months
@@cruelladevil1001 youtube glitch. Happens to a lot of people
@@cruelladevil1001 same here...
hahaha thanks for doing this pretty funny, I'd watched the video weeks before xD
Thank you for the video it was great 👍
Awesome video! Greetings from a student pilot from Poland!
Zero Budget + Denys = best combination of both worlds ❤ loved it! Greetings and Glory to Ukraine
in europe we have same rest as duty rule..... with a minimum rest of 10 hours ... I did many times that you land in the morning after flying all night and the same day you take off again in late evening for another night flight
😬
It was a very interesting video. It reminded me of when I actually took the first piloting exam for Turkish Airlines. At the time, I didn't even consider the cost of the education, even though I stopped studying for the second stage of the exam due to something else that came up that year. Now, I find it hilarious
I am a wannabe pilot. I may start my PPL in 2024. I have a big respect to every airline pilot in the world, it's very complicated (And not cheap as you mentionned !) to have the chance to be seated on the airliner cockpit. I saw this video 5 day ago, and it's great to have a pilot's point of view
hey awesome! me too good luck on your journey for 2024 !
@@mvp2231 thanks! Well actually, I learned two days ago that I can't have my medicals to me a commercial pilot, so my dreams are destroyed but I can still do a ppl,however good luck to you in your aviation career!
Good insight on the tribulations of being a pilot. My cousin flies for a commercial airline in the States, maybe I'll send this to him. 😂
Afaik Wizzair gives you free food, according last year briefing given pre-assessment.
Ryanair now gives you a free 0.5 l water bottle/leg, but started recently (like 2 years ago).
Not providing hotel rooms and then fire people for sleeping on floor is good trick 🥴 Was Ryanair shorting crew and they took this as a great opportunity to fire some people? 😅
PB has the cutest accent on YT no changing my mind
Ahh yes, Zero budget story’s, the most accurate thing to adulthood.
Oh my boy found this one on budget story channel.. i been like i hope youtube will recomend this video to me yesterday but today youtube does that...😂🎉
I'm gonna go to flight school next year! You inspire me alot captain❤
очень интересно то, что я английский понимаю на слух плохо, но ваши видео понимаю отлично. Как по мне, у Вас отличное произношение
in the u.s. u need 1500 hours before u can fly for an airline, definitely wouldnt say its cheaper
Lmao nice video also funny and educational commentary Capt
Lit video as I wish to be a pilot
Як тобі легко вдається розповідати так багато речей такою простою англійською) Знаю стільки ж слів, але зв'язувати їх в речення - складно)
Nice video, keep it up Denys!
i love your videos because your the goodest pilot
There is no double of duty time for the rest time regarding the EASA regulations. So after 12 hours duty 12 hours rest time is legal. Can be reduced by the pic to 10h.
I’m very lucky. In Poland we have universities that provide ATPL training for free. The only requirement is to obtain a PPL license, which costs around 6000-7000$ here
Can you share info please? Dzieki
Невже я знайшов сторінку пілота МАУ? Неймовірно)
14:27 I'm from Kathmandu and yes that's the real picture of Kathmandu shown in the video .
Professions like that of airline pilots hold a special glamour in people's imaginations. They are associated with intelligence, boldness, attractiveness, and courage. In short, there is an image of all things good. Pilots tend to be vain about the type and size of the planes they operate, the uniforms they wear, and the positive perceptions people have of them. Movies like Top Gun and others have greatly contributed to building this image. Employers are well aware of this, and in my view, this is a huge disadvantage because many of us overvalue the profession as if it only had advantages and is a wonderful life: beautiful women and men, luxurious hotels, outings, and basically paid vacations, which is far from the truth. Employers know this very well and masterfully exploit this vanity and our profession, which is just a grand illusion. By the way, I've been a pilot for 30 years, 26 of those as an airline pilot, and this is not just an opinion but a conclusion from someone who lives and observes the reality of the profession from the inside. What I see is the quality of work only decreasing since 1998.
14:58 I laughed at this part. He was dreaming about his daysbat school qhen learning to pilot. Even in his dream he wants to focus on his pilot memory skills. Haha! Assuming that was his teacher.
That was was real funny Denys. 😅
I think it would be interesting to talk about psychotherapy and pilots. I'm not in the buisness of being a pilot yet. But it feels like psychotherapy is a very harmful thing for your medical certificate. It's kind of paradox. If someone goes to therapy, most people think that he or she must have a mental illness. But that's not always the case. Sometimes a loved one dies or other tragic events happen. If pilots are "scared" to go to therapy, when they have encountered a tragic situation in their life, it will definitely affect their work quality and probably perform worse. And it might be even more dangerous because they might be thinking about something else while flying and having lots of passengers lives in their hands. It's paradox because going to therapy looks like someone is ill, but if they don't go to therapy and they have an "illness", but hide it, it will be even worse. But keep in mind I don't know how true it is what I wrote. It's just something I feel like observed. Maybe I'm totally wrong.
hey den big fan of you nice video have u thought about flying for any new airline or differant plane! enjoy please get back to me
And I thought pilot live their life on easy mode. Its refreshing to see other job or profession has its own miserable moment too, I've been stuck on my job for 7 years as a frontliner in finance with no absolute career progress in future and always ask myself why is this happening to me. Then this video made me realise other people have problem too
Security… ATL based for 11 years. As an airline crew, we parked in the airline parking lot, took the airline bus to underneath terminal C or D and went right in, NO security, until…. Delta employees got caught running guns between New York and Atlanta.. then WE had to get to work earlier to allow time for security, but Delta still didn’t have to go through security… 121.5=delta radio, any US pilots will get it.
Yes the airport terminal and the city picture is of Kathmandu
What a nice video, cap!
Rest has been equal to duty on a few occasions. ZA regulations are a bit iffy though
When I subscribed your channel and watched my first vedio on your channel when you in 100K now i am watching my 2nd vedio now you have 1M subscribers i think I waked up after coma😂 anyway what achievement🎉
great to hear that specificly my country charges 100 grand for my dream job to come true.
I want to be a pilot so bad. I don't care about the money, I just want to fly planes cause I love PLANES.
Dude, in low fair airlines like Ryanair you pay for everything theese days. Except maybe the bolier water. The cabin crew brings their own drinks and that's how you can have a 'free' coffe.
Hello @pilot blog, I have a question. Can people who wear glasses become pilots? also love your videos
Yes you can at least in the United States
Hello and have a nice day 😉
My childhood dream was becoming a pilot. My sleepy ass can't be a pilot.
Great video!
I always just assumed airports had an on-site hotel for crews.
Nice
In germany, you study at lufthansa and they give you a chance to work for them.
i live in France, should i buy my flight lecons or go by millitary?
I know that pilots fill out flight logs. When the FO was talking under 10K feet did you mention it in the flight log? It seems like a difficult decision because if you log it you can be seen as a 'whistle blower'.
14:17 yep thats the real kathmandu city back in 2014.
Is duty time paid for? Or only flight hours
Hi Denys, was fun. 😂
14:53 Eren's scream related to my reaction as listening Pilot explaining
I like this type of videos, they look interesting, but I think part of that video was a joke
Крутой видос! Люблю тот канал и приятно было от тебя увидеть обзор)
I hope I become an airline pilot some day
Adding the unpaid hours commuting, dealing with parking lots, airline terminal BS, showing at least an hour before the flight, waiting, etc severely degrades the hourly rate. This is even at a US major.
Without regulations, airlines would be working pilots like mules non-stop!
The idea that you have to pay to have a job is just insane
bro turned a 6:54 video into a 23:00 video and would u believe if i said the life of a pilot video was right above this video i'm not lying
About duty times talking from short haul side- rest time is atleast 10 h or the same time as the duty if its longer.
P.s. Sometimes short nightstops are so short, that it makes sense to stay in the aircraft than to drive to the hotel.
Hey pilot blog I’m almost in high school and I know what classes to apply for. What class should I apply for?
hey bro, i want to ask something, so i was a pilot student here in Indonesia, im curious to know how u can get to be as Garuda Indonesia pilot? like how to register yourself in the airline? is it hard?
3:25 they do random checks on inflight crew because smuggling. Some people abuse their privileges and smuggle drugs. It has happened numerous times on international flights to or from the States . It has even happened in the states on domestic flights.
lol what job provides food for their employees? even when i worked at kfc we had to buy our own meals and drinks lol
4:17 deki evrak kontrolu Türkiye'de, as bayrakları :D
hi i am 11 i love ur videos and i want to be a pilot when i grow up
I believe the average cost here in America is closer to $90,000 usd. At least that’s how my training so far is looking like 😢
