Hi Christy. Greetings from Cape Town. I saw you at Oshkosh, and was also on the same flight as you from Milwaukee to DFW on that Saturday evening, 29 July.
@@pilotchristy I would have, but saw you up front while boarding the flight and people were behind me. Also thought that maybe on the last day of Oshkosh, being tired and exhausted you had enough of meeting. I did meet and chat with Dan at your booth though.
That is just super cool. Husband and wife flying an airliner jet together. I don’t know if it was a random assignment or you specifically made request but either way, just what an amazing experience!
What a fantastic video! I would love to learn more about your meal prep and meal choices, I often don't know where to eat when going cross country (by car). Same restaurant chains along the highways, mostly fast food, around the hotels the same thing...
That is my number one complaint about going out is I usually can make food that is at least on par with if not better than the food we would eat at a restaurant… this is a cool video.
Excellent video Christy. Thank you for the look inside the Airline Pilot life. Keep the coming as long as they will let you. It's really cool you and Kevin got to fly together. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friends 🇺🇸🛩️
Great informative video. I'm not a pilot but love learning about the 'behind the scene' stuff. I just recently gave up my CDL but have spent many a trip working with my husband. We drove charter buses and had many a great adventure on the road. Some of the companies we worked for were reluctant to send us out together but we offered several compelling arguments as to why it would work for them. Mostly it came down to money. We COULD share a room unlike other drivers. Keep up the great work and happy trails (as my Grandmother would say!)
Thanks for sharing the vid Christy. Your daily work day looks like busy one! Really enjoy the vids you and Dan provide us with. Do you ever fly into LFT? The approach and departure routes pass right over our house in KOPL.Stay safe and thanks again!
What is the make and model of your food bag/cooler? I’m looking at getting something similar whenever I have to do my 6 month recurrency which takes multiple days away from home.
This is a fantastic video. I always wondered how airline pilots cope with sleeping well when perhaps there is stress in their lives. I would love to know the sleeping techniques airline pilots use.
Sorry I guess I'm late in the game but congratulations!! I thought Christie was married to some Wong character. Well good glad to see the change - he seemed a little negative. So glad you are happy!!!
That’s ok! To be fair, I wasn’t super public about it. We split up about 3 years ago, and I got remarried last year. There were a lot of reasons why we split, but at the end of the day we decided to stay friends and have a very good relationship now. We are both in different relationships but we stay close and coparent our son together. 😊
Great video, especially for those of us who always dreamed of being an airline pilot but never will. Thank you so much for sharing a little look into your world! And congrats on getting to fly with your husband, that's so cool.
Does the airline not cover meal expenses for dinner when you are on the road? This is truly making me rethink my plan for a pre-retirement career in the airlines. Also, incredibly cool that you got to fly together for a repo flight. I can’t imagine that.
We receive a per diem, or an hourly stipend, for the time we’re on the road. I choose to use that per diem money for groceries to make my food and bring it with me. 😊
Always pack your food. I pretty much knew which hotels had breakfast, so I planned around that, but plans change, it’s very possible to get redirected on the go. I always go all out with my smoker, and freeze a bunch of meat, and bring sides to go along with it. The frozen meat is extra temp control. Peanuts in the shell, and home made jerky to fill my snacking needs. Layovers are a time for me to work on the office duties of our farm. Read and answer emails, planning and data research. Plus, work out. I have memberships to a slew of all hours self service gyms. Yes, I am a slam clicker. Is, was, not sure where I fit in. Long leave during COVID and now a long leave due to the wife having health issues.
No, but it depends on the crew I’m with. I actually went out with my two flight attendants tonight! My one FA said she wants to be a pilot, so we had a fun conversation about that. 😊 I would say if anything I’m just disciplined about my diet and exercise, and have a fairly steady routine.
I would ask why that is? Because the couple dozen flights or so that we’ve done together have all been handled extremely professionally, and the passengers get a delight out of knowing they have a husband and wife crew. It makes me so sad that there is a fundamental stereotype held by some people that couples can’t work well together. I hope one day your perception of couples changes. ❤
Lubbock thanks you for the free ad. I've lived here 50 + years and always like compliments on our little town.
That hotel/motel y’all stayed in on the way to Oshkosh 22’… that is the measuring bar! 😂
THE ALL SEASONS 😂
I love the editing. Very funny. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Christy. Greetings from Cape Town. I saw you at Oshkosh, and was also on the same flight as you from Milwaukee to DFW on that Saturday evening, 29 July.
Oh that’s awesome! You should have said hi at MKE! 😊
@@pilotchristy I would have, but saw you up front while boarding the flight and people were behind me. Also thought that maybe on the last day of Oshkosh, being tired and exhausted you had enough of meeting. I did meet and chat with Dan at your booth though.

We were able to trade into trips together where one or the other crew position was open! 😊
These videos are really cool and you do an amazing job with them Christy! Thanks to you and Kevin for taking the time to bring us along with you.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Watchiing from Australia
Thank you for watching!!! ❤
Your meal planning and discipline is admirable!
The reposition leg made Christie the PMS, Pilot Monitoring Spouse.

That’s a great idea!
Hello from Minnesota! Love it!
It’s the “hello from Minnesota” guy! 😅
I really enjoyed the video, thanks!
Love this! Well done!
That is my number one complaint about going out is I usually can make food that is at least on par with if not better than the food we would eat at a restaurant… this is a cool video.
Great video! When describing your eating out habits, all I could think was, "tell me you own an airplane without telling me you own an airplane"
Haha! I’m trying to keep that weight and balance in order! 😅
Excellent video Christy. Thank you for the look inside the Airline Pilot life. Keep the coming as long as they will let you. It's really cool you and Kevin got to fly together. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friends 🇺🇸🛩️
Thank you so much! ❤
Great job!!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Nice! Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve stayed in LFT once!
Great video, and many more flights together. Safe travels.
Wow,, that was awesome. Thanks for taking us along with you!! See you in the hanger soon,,,, on Utube that is!! LoL
What is the make and model of your food bag/cooler? I’m looking at getting something similar whenever I have to do my 6 month recurrency which takes multiple days away from home.
Christy, what do you think of the yoke shape/style on your airline aircraft verses the more typical ones used on planes like your Piper?
I love the yoke in the 175! It’s actually very ergonomic.
The ram horns are on a lot of airplanes.
That’s a great ride along. Thumbs up 👍
This is a fantastic video. I always wondered how airline pilots cope with sleeping well when perhaps there is stress in their lives. I would love to know the sleeping techniques airline pilots use.
That’s a good idea!
My technique was horizontal, on the bed.
Nothing wrong with eating healthily and saving money but, if I ever make it to Texas, I'll be looking for barbecue.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some good Texas BBQ! And if you do ever come, you should visit 407BBQ in Argyle, TX! 😅
@@pilotchristy I'll keep that in mind, Christy. Thanks!
Whet you bring is pobably better!
Go to Cooperstown in Phoenix. It is owned by the rocker Alice Cooper and its a sports bar... good food....
Chuck box rules!!!!
One of my favs!!!
Please tell us about your white shades please
Sorry I guess I'm late in the game but congratulations!! I thought Christie was married to some Wong character. Well good glad to see the change - he seemed a little negative. So glad you are happy!!!

Good to know everything worked out for you! Keep these interesting videos coming!!
@@pilotchristy
Thanks foe the look into the life of a pilot Christy!!! Very cool that you both got to fly together!!!
PS: He really buttered that landing nicely!!!
I’ll let him know! 😊
My lazy ass just packs protein cookies in my carry on😂😂😂
Haha whatever works! 😂
Do wing it sometimes?
Great video, especially for those of us who always dreamed of being an airline pilot but never will. Thank you so much for sharing a little look into your world! And congrats on getting to fly with your husband, that's so cool.
Thank you for watching! 😊
Which Embraer do you fly? EMB 175? Sorry I can’t remember which model
Yes Christy flies the 175
Thank you for being a commercial pilot. We need more women pilots. Sooo cool your hubby is also a pilot.
Great, healthy routine.
Christy, is that an E-175 that y’all were flying into Montana?
I'm not Christy, but yes, it is.
How does TSA like scanning The Beast?😅
👍✅ Tks Christy
Very cool 😎👍

That makes complete sense@@pilotchristy . Thank you for the response, and I enjoy your content. safe flights.

Yes, I am a slam clicker. Is, was, not sure where I fit in. Long leave during COVID and now a long leave due to the wife having health issues.
Airline and equipment please🤷🤷?
Envoy, and a E175
Recently a female surgeon got disbarred because she took cameras to work
Fortunately I am working in conjunction with my airline and have permission to video certain things. 😊
Are you a slam clicker ?
No, but it depends on the crew I’m with. I actually went out with my two flight attendants tonight! My one FA said she wants to be a pilot, so we had a fun conversation about that. 😊 I would say if anything I’m just disciplined about my diet and exercise, and have a fairly steady routine.
I just learned a new term. #themoreyouknow
I would not want to fly in an airplane being flown by a couple. Just NO. ...and airlines shouldn't allow it.
I would ask why that is? Because the couple dozen flights or so that we’ve done together have all been handled extremely professionally, and the passengers get a delight out of knowing they have a husband and wife crew. It makes me so sad that there is a fundamental stereotype held by some people that couples can’t work well together. I hope one day your perception of couples changes. ❤
I have a question I like to know. what is y'all profit together after federal tax? @pilotchristy
