- Its hard to replace experience in aviation, but you can learn from other pilots and that is what I am hoping to give future airline pilots in this video. Some tips on what to make sure you can successfully pursue your pilot dreams

In the name of all flight attendants, thank you for standing up for your colleagues. It's a pretty rare thing these days, i feel like.

Ok, gordon ramsay

And now just imagine: Mr. Ramsay vs. airline food. I think this might be interesting to watch....
its becoming more and more rare for anyone to back anyone now 🤷♂️
@@None.of.ya.business666 I would love to see that to be honest! That'd be really funny
you are a really inspiring pilot for small upcoming pilots like me and your tips are really useful thank you:)
Exacly, I also want to become pilot
glad to hear they were helpful Fadil!
@@74gear thank you so much for the reply a
@@bolenevolja yayayayay where do you study
@74 Gear I know that it is not easy but how difficult it's to become a pilot!!!
Hi guys hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
This is Kelsey! It's all about keeping the blue side up, not Mentour!
@@annatamparow4917 lol
U toooooo
Most of this advice applies not just to pilots, but to everyone.
My favorite saying from a former store manager of mine: “You write your resume every day you come to work”. SO TRUE!
Nice
Thanks for sharing this! This is my first time reading it, but I'll never forget it now ;)
1) Don't be a good pilot. Be a great pilot.
2) You get zero points for a bad landing. You get 11/10 for going around.
The thing about the pilot presenting this channel is that he has integrity.
You nailed this Kelsey. I grew up in an aviation family (just now getting my PPL at the other end of my life) and your advice is bang on. Really, you could take everything you said and apply it to any career but it's especially relevant to aviation. I think this is one of those "if you are going to watch one video, watch this one" videos. Well done!
I love how a few of these tips are all about having integrity and taking responsibility, goes to show that being a pilot is much more than flying.
I've been watching similar videos since 3 years. Haven't seen a single one as good as this. This video is so under-rated.
EVERY STUDENT PILOT NEEDS THIS!
Finding a mentor is a big one. The golden handcuffs thing was something I’ve never heard, good to know. Learning that ATC is there to help (most of the time 😂) this has helped improve my radio communications starting off as well. I also listened to your episode on the pilot to pilot podcast, you’re finally getting the shine you deserve. Keep it up man!
First class channel by a true professional! Always giving valuable information and advice. ✈️
I appreciate that Tom!
Hey Kelsey the expressions you make depending on the subject of your videos are priceless in a good way!!
"At least your alive, at the end of the day that's very important"
Wish I knew that a week ago.
You meant to say "At least you're alive..." "your" is possessive -- your house, your car, etc.
it's hard to enjoy the evening if you die in the day
nah, it'd be too embarrassing if big boss cussed me out in front a bunch of hot flight attendants for not counting the extra 0 in the amount of fuel we need
Excellent presentation, Kelsey! These are all great suggestions, especially for young people just getting started in life. I'm 64 and retired (not a pilot), and support everything you've said here.
Solid advice that applies to many industries. Thanks for posting!
Just started flight school, I absolutely love it
As retired Air Force, that was an awesome video. I love how you stress CRM and leadership. Keep up the good work!
Most of Kelsey's career advice is applicable in a general sense. As an older, nontraditional, accounting student I loved this video! Keep up the great work Kelsey! :)
Quality as usual kelsey, being a pilot must be fantastic, sending best wishes from sunny England
We have had great weather the past 2 months haven’t we , I’m in Essex .. blue skies everyday from April till a few days ago and we had some cloud. Today is nice 👍🏻
Meanwhile it’s heavily raining in Germany
Sunny?
Sunny day in the UK are great. I have spent a few days there when it was sunny and warm out and luckily a lot of people are as pasty white as me... I blend right in 😆
@@74gear perfect :D
Man! My respect for you just sky rocketed . I mean you are a real gentleman. You are the kind of pilot everybody wished they would be! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah! Ive been binge watching old episodes so I am glad to hear a new one
I think you nailed it for most industries and careers. So many of your points were totally applicable to my experiences.
Can you make Hollywood vs Reality on Snake On The Plane
Agreed
Yes, that would be amazing to see Kelsey do it.
yes please!
it is on the list Merpati... I am working on 3 right now actually been flying a lot though so its getting a bit tough sometimes.
@@74gear Understood
Mate really love your channel, really helps me through all the tough times I have with my aviation journey.
I loved this episode. Kelsy blesses us with priceless wise information for future aviators.
You are 100% on about protecting your people! I've had bosses that don't, they generally don't last long! I've had bosses that do and generally move up people their people want to work for them!! Cheers!!
Good tips that can be used in various careers
as well. Thanks for putting yourself out there and being a YT mentor to people!! Stay safe Mr. Pilot Man ✈️.
Great points Kelsey! A lot of these points can fit in other careers as well! Take care!
Nicely done, Kelsey. Some years back i wrote up an essay to pass out to grandchildren, "Things that I wish i had learned earlier in life." You hit on a number of them.
Thanks Kelsey! You're very welcome, we love hearing or reading that!!
Thanks so much! I'm wrapping up high school in a few years and heading to uni to pursue an aviation career. With the virus and things like that going around, I have a feeling aviation is going to be entirely different in a couple years. Thank you sooo much for these tips.
Great tips. You are right, they apply everywhere, especially the management pieces. When I was a manager, I always took the heat no matter who messed up. You are a wise man.
0:01 seconds in the video I have to stop and say man you're a damn motivating person, I have been watching your videos a lot since recommended and I wish it was up there early this year.
Keep on being an example for everyone out there, not just pilots, I'm a systems engineer, but I find your stories, your tact, your drive, everything, an example, at least for me, thanks man! (wish my english was better so I can be a little bit more descriptive but you know, you're a beacon, you drive people forward).
PS: I known everyone must think the same, but that day you get the fourth strip, god, it's going to be a dream day, and you keep ourselves motivated with our own "fourth strip" so thanks again :P

I enjoy your wisdom and your matter of fact attitude. you are def not any kind of douche and you seem to have a good grasp on right/wrong and treating people right . It seems your experience has taught you some important lessons in life , thanks for sharing . Fly safe friend.
Just the video for me...future Qantas pilot
awesome Gaming, look forward to seeing you up in the air!
Ayeee, fellow Aussie, I want to work for Qantas too
74 Gear how long does it take for a F/O to get upgraded to Captain?
Aviation Gaming1564 so my mum is a csm for Qantas and it usually takes about 2-5years for a S/O to become an F/O and about 10 years to become a captain from an F/O, this is in Australia and it is different in USA
Aviation Gaming1564 and I’ll see you at the Cadetship thingy 😉
New follower here. I don't know anything about aviation, so I marvel at everything. Isn't that fun? Great pedagogy and sense of humor make your channel quite enjoyable to watch.
So much of WISDOM in such short time.
Your channel is the best❤❤👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant advice all round Kelsey! Much of your advice is transferable to many areas of life. Stay safe 🙂👍
Tomorrow's the day! I really thank you for giving us all of those great tips!!
Now, I am wanting to be a pilot, and it seems challenging. But with people like you it makes it SO much easier.
Honestly, you could substitute the word ‘pilot’ with any other profession in this video. This is an excellent video covering many aspects of leadership & success. The points made on accountability & planning are spot on! Thanks Kelsey 👨✈️! ✈️
I really enjoyed this video, Kelsey! I'm about to take my first steps towards Flight School. Thank you for sharing your experience.
You realy encourage me, I always want to be a pilot, but I am to poor, I work hard and get tinitus. Now I am useless. But your videos get me to have hope for tomorrow. I love to fly but in best case scenario I can do it o es a year. But I love it, and all crew are always good and do their best. Many complain at the food, but I love it! After the circumstances.. its not a restaurant, its a airoplane. So absolut GOOD! I wish you all the best. Regards Östen from Sweden🇸🇪
hey cap! great video as always, thanks for all those tips, from my perspetive, simple but essencial
Great video as always! Listened to the podcast you did the other day on pilot to pilot. Enjoyed it! 👍
This is great career advice for ANYBODY. Twelve thumbs up!
Thank you for the Tips! Im working on getting into the airline Industry and I will keep these on my wall.
Nice job Pilot snob! You are giving great advice! We all agree your rite in saying “ AT THE END OF THE DAY, ITS BETTER TO BE ALIVE “
All good advise no matter what industry you're in. As it has always been, no one is indispensable in any job. No one is best to forget that.
Thank you for all you and all air crews are doing, Kelsey! Stay safe!! Hoping to see that fourth bar soon! (Former USN "Airedale")
Awesome video! It's funny, I experienced some of this in racing school, too - the humbling that comes after the initial "I'm so awesome" when you've mastered the basics and can take a car around at speed without crashing. Once you comprehend how hard it actually is and how much you have to learn to be proficient, you don't feel so awesome anymore. Strangely there's a thing about that in the behind-the-scenes for Animal House, Tim Matheson had to give the same advice to some of his younger co-stars who were having bad days after the initial buzz of getting the gig wore off. "Kinda feel like crap, right?" "Yes..." "Don't worry, it will get better, just keep working at it." You have to keep pushing your personal limits until they aren't anymore.
Absolutely love that you stuck up for that flight attendant - good on you
what a great video man, thank you!!
From a retired 1st resp. Your channel is very entertaining and it really helps me relax. After 26 yrs of a stressful job. Thanks Kelsey.
Thanks for all you did as a 1st responder. Lot of respect for all of you. We get a playbook for almost everything that can go wrong. That’s your typical Tuesday
Really appreciate this video! Planning on flying for SAS later on, so this is a great video for me! Thx
love your channel, as always you've schooled me in Aviation. Thanks for the lesson 👍
I live you so much brother!! From a future iraqi pilot!
Honestly I’m in a totally different career and I’ll never have the money to be a pilot but I love learning about your job and life style 😊
“It’s better to get in trouble, than be dead” ... I’m not even an aspiring pilot, I just like your outlook. Hope there are more pilots out there with your enthusiasm, wit, and common sense.
Love your videos Kelsey, I too am a pilot, though nothing as glamorous as a 747. My father was an executive pilot for a company in Illinois and basically flew the execs anywhere they wanted to go
His boss encouraged him to bring me along on their "recreational" trips, long story short, he had an ATP and CFI so when I was 16 I got my license and instrument rating. To me, flying is the ultimate freedom, if you have instruments, you can go anywhere anytime directly, no traffic signs, speed limit without necessarily being constrained by pavement.. I learned in a Cessna 182 with King Silver Crown full avionics suite with all the bells and whistles and routinely flew Cessna's 421 Golden Eagle with Gold Crowns AND on board radar. Nowadays I spend my time back country flying in Idaho and lovin' every minute of it.
This is great. I'm not in the aviation industry but just some great life tips.
Excellent This is good advice for ANY career, not just flying.
Hey another great video! I love your videos
thanks I appreciate that Cars
As you said in the video, some of those tips apply not only to aviation but other industries as well! Well done! :)
Great advice Kelsey! 400k subs coming up!
While I can't say I'll be a pilot in the foreseeable future, I still love these videos! Keep up the good work! Love the Hollywood Vs Reality Series!
well I am working on something that is very similar and a one video spin off... you will know it when you see it.
Wow. Kelsey this is some really good future information for when I become a pilot some day. I always wanted to be a pilot and I never knew some of these stuff. Thanks man. ✈✈🤩🤗
Ha, I feel like you're my mentor Kelsey. You're humble and spread wisdom.
As someone who wants to become a pilot this advice is helpful. Thank you.
This is excellent advice for everyone, not just pilots.
Thank you for the tips Kelsey..! Really need these info your provide.. ! 🙌🙌🙏
Great Video and wonderful advice.
Thank you for a such advising and sharing your experience honestly with your subscribers!!!
Thank you for this vid, Kelsey! My first instructor used to make me feel badly about things (even if it was the first time attempting a maneuver) and I would get so embarrassed that I would cry when I was driving home. 😂 Thanx for the reassurance 🤗
Good video as always bro, really good info for basically any career
This is a great channel. You're providing great information. I've been trying to figure out what to do career-wise didn't think it would take me until I'm almost 40 before I figured out what I think I want to do. I'm going to sign up for flight school when I get home.
Hey! I just wanted to know what ended up happening when you applied? (Please don’t respond if your lying.) I would love to hear about what happened!
Great video as always
Your Crew is so lucky to have a Captain like you Sir!
You are soo inspirational. Thank you soo much.
Thanks Kelsey that video was real helpful for me
Great tips!! Loving the content!!
Awesome Video!
Thanks for the tips man!
Hey, we even got a bonus tip: "Keep the blue side up."
Lol
Great video Kelsey my friend i enjoyed it
Thanks for these tips! I’m working on to be a pilot in the future!
Been a fan for a while now Kelsey! I was wondering if you could make a video about you and your aviation career/path? From how you decided to become a pilot and each steps that lead to where you are now! Would like to hear your story!
Thanks!
Always makes my day
I appreciate this, I haven't been resuming flight training since March 2019 since I was busy focusing on school and work. I just graduated this month with a certificate and associates degree in Aviation Science.
I think your tips does not apply to pilots only, but life in general! Good video, thank you! 👍
Regarding side hussle, I was regretting giving 18 years to being a preschool teacher and getting my Bachelor's in early childhood education. I didn't have the money to pursue flight school until recently. Well in the future if things go south, I can go back into teaching.
i love your videos they are the best, once i flew on the 747 and that was the last year and the last time i will get to fly on one :( but at-least i got to fly on one :) keep it up i am proud of you
Love your channel. Thank you
Great advice mate and will remember each one of those points ... just gotta get past my fear of flying then ...am on it !!!!! Wont let u down fella ..jump seat is yours anytime u want it 😁😁
Great content and definitely applies for any career.
This video was really helpful, thank you for the insight! I'm an 18 year old student pilot in Canada looking and doing my best to become a commercial pilot 🙂 and thanks once again
I am not a pilot nor will I ever be but your advice can be translated into any business. Great video! Fair winds.
I would like to add: "Say Thank You often." Staff needs to know you care. Donuts work every time. The only downside is sticky fingerprints on the access doors. Another really well done video.
This is mostly true for other professions as well. Great points.
Thanks Kelsey your helping this 9 year old become a future pilot!
Great tips! Thanks sir!
