Your parents should be very proud of you captain 👨✈️
He never ate at McDonalds so he looks 50.
@@Howrider65 lol
They will be very proud of him
You don’t know the complete story of this character
2 Takino 2 yea actually good point.
From the beginning of his professional flying career to his retirement with one company and still a smile on his face, congratulations.🎂
that is so extremely rare.
I wish to do the same.
It's evident that he loves his job, most of us would be depressed after working for the same company over 2 years. Then again, it's not uncommon for people to be working for the same company for decades in the olden days, my dad worked in a company for 3 decades and he has never thought about leaving. Times have changed, nowadays it's considered normal to switch jobs every 2 years as job security has eroded.
Sounds like Singapore Airlines looks after its employees as well as its customers, very good to see.
Dude i'm crying just looking at this comment. Beautiful
*I can’t be the only one who is glad CZcams recommended this video to them. Great video and happy retirement!*
Mr Anderson 🙋🏻♀️
Why doesn't youtube recommend my master piece videos ?!??!?!?!

The man looks better than some 30yr olds.
😂😂😂😂
I am one of those 30 year olds you are talking about. Damn.
It's what happens when you love your job
wbgsci lmao
65?? impossible
As an aviation enthusiast, it is always so sad seeing a pilot retiring. Countless hours in the sky finally comes to an end. I bet he will really miss his job so much.
there are worse ways countless hours of flying can end.
There are pilot jobs for people aged 65 plus.
Yeah but in the end it's good that pilots retire after a certain age. As all people suffer from some degree of cognitive decline
@ flight instructor, bush pilot, banner flying, corporate jet pilot. Many options. No more large jet flying but there are many ways to take yourself to the sky and get paid as long as you can hold your medical.
Flying is not a job for them. It's a passion. It has always been.
He really looks Good and healthy for age 65... all the best and we'll wishes to him
from maintenance engineer to captain pilot!!! that is no easy task sir!!! Well done
He's enjoyed the whole spectrum of a career in aviation. He's a pilot and aviation professional to the bone!!!!.
Hanasua chon g chii
everything is possible
As a former flight attendant for (just) 33 years I can very well understand his feelings and emotions during his last flight.
I felt exactly the same on my very last flight.
All the best, a happy retirement and always 'happy landings!'

This video needs to be seen by everybody.
Tumne dekh lia na kaafi hai👅
You are a role model for all SIA pilots. Well done and happy retirement. More time for your grand children I believe. Good bye.
He is a role model for Pilots everywhere of every Airline. To start as an engineer and work your way up to Pilot.
@@scarletfluerr when he started out there was a engineer in every plane so he was in the cockpit from the start so he would know a lot already.
Why u saying goodbye? He's not gonna die m8
@@mjbulawit7720 why? Goodbye to you means u going to die? Hello, you ok or not?
Michael Lee Don’t judge too fast. How will you know he does not have kids
The way they surprised the pilot 😱
It just warmed my heart😊
Edit: iv always wanted to be a pilot and hopefully I can be one when I’m older
Me too :3
Good luck! May your dreams come true!👍🏻
FBI! OPEN UP!!
thank u for your service. happy retiring
I retired 5 years ago, also after a very long pilot career, enjoy your new life and the new opportunities. Congrats 😎
That was a special video. Wish I could give it 100 thumbs up. All of the best for your future Capt. Chung Choon Yin.
Flying and traveling is a huge part of my life. I can't thank pilots enough. Wish you all the best! Side note: he looks incredible for his age 65 seriously, no way lol
thanking pilots? I hope you don't clap when pilots land the plane.
After some time, I’m sure flying isn’t so stressful anymore. Flying is such a passion, no doubt he must’ve been relaxed in the air.
God has blessed this man no plane crash within all these years hmmm.I felt emotional while watching this video 46 years is a lot I'm soo happy for him.A new chapter must open.
The chance of a plane crashing is very very low, the media just makes a very bid deal out of it when it happens. Pretty much all pilots go through their life without crashing a single time.
Anyway that being said, I like your message and I also wish him a happy life. :)
@@alexandermheen-garschke6166 I agree that the media exagerrates
I felt the same way when I retired in 2017 after 35 years of serving as a firefighter. My crew and friends surprised me with testimonial dinner attended by my colleagues and the District Fire Marshal.. T'was the grandest birthday party ever... Praise God..
I think thats the life . 46 years in the sky.
46 years in aviation not sky.
Ankit Bera the figure of speech was lost on you.
No kidding. .. you're right... he has seen the world from the sky for 46 years.
@@ankitbera1482 your dumb
No man, not literally 46 years in the sky. Add some time of his sleeping, eating and his resting time at home. Be serious man. ;-D
What a wonderful story. Total immersion in his job and loving it every day. Best wishes, Captain.
What a great video! Thanks for sharing Chung Choon Yin's story!
‘’Start with the same company since 18 ....” . Wow ! Congratulations. You are a loyal employee. Don’t see it too often.
My tears started falling as I watched this video.. Happy retirement! enjoy your new chapter of your life.
What a fantastic guy and 46 years in Aviation absolutely incredible. Happy retirement Capt!
Please sir thank you for your services and you've done the best decision have fun
Congratulations. As a career pilot, about to turn 65 I can feel your joy and remorse at this moment.
Mike Maffei Happy retirement in advance, as the pilot here said, one door closes another open. You can always take to the sky through other planes:)
Thanks for your service and really happy that you made it alive sir.
Although it's sad to see a pilot retire, he's done a very great job as a pilot.

Good thing about being an engineer first is that he is knowledgeable of the aircraft mechanics.
Amazing story!!!

A company that treats well its employees treats even better its clients! When I come to Asia I will try to book the flights with this airliner!
This gentleman is a true inspiration....to everyone and moreso all budding students and aviation enthusiasts. To you Sir...I wish you a fantastic time ahead in whatever path you choose. God's blessings to you and your family.
Happy retirement Captain!! Thanks for serving scoot and the SIA team rest well after 46 years of hard work! ❤️👍🏻
Alright who’s cutting onions? 😰😢
Those were tear gas canisters!
Onion ninja's every single night. So annoying!
I love Singapore and Singaporeans, best community ever.
As a frequent visitor to Singapore, I would tend to agree!

Thank you for the wonderful video Captain Chung Choon Yin. I retired in 2018 from American Airlines after 35 years and your video captured so many of the emotions of the day that I also felt. I can tell by the tone of your
voice and your words that the crews loved working with you. I felt like I was listening to a brother. Well done sir.
I wish you good health in your retirement.
