Thank God you're back! You're my favourite person to watch for these videos. I'm 14 and I hope to be an BA pilot on the A320 fleet and your videos give me that extra insight and info to get me really excited. Thanks man!
I really enjoyed this video, it was relaxed, down to earth, nothing fancy or pretentious, yet conveyed the enjoyment of this career path, so well done to you and wishing many years of this awesome career to you! Cheers from Australia (Regional pilot from here, doing it 12+ years now, doesn’t get old!)
Hello! For someone who is a bit scare in planes, its really nice to see that you have lovely days, with no stress or being anxious. Just enjoying a normal day at work! Next time I fly Im sure ill feel better! Thanx!
You talk about that day like it's just going out on your bike for an hour. Don't know how you guys do this, the technical knowledge, the responsibility, the danger if something goes wrong and what to do... Immense respect... great video. 👍
@@BritishBoy80 Lol you're so wrong with that figure. Try £40000 and they're always too tired and stressed and at a tight schedule to enjoy the 'exotic places'. Honestly you sound like a teenager who wants to be a pilot, not an adult.
@EazyDuz18 maybe the ryanair pilots😂 but the big boys spend their life in the nicest hotels in the nicest countries banging the nicest chicks. you shouldn't get it twisted
Interesting video! I'm a train driver and we also have these ridiculously early shifts, I hate them because I'm a night person and waking up at 03 completely shatters my sleeping schedule
Awesome! I did my CPL in 1991 but didn’t go any further. What a great job you have! I’m old now so it’s too late. You’re right, the views never get old and boy I had a great time flying back then. It’s sure better to be pilot than stuck in economy class!
Really nice video. What I like about it that its not all hyper-glammed up with loud music, CGI pop ups and super slick move production and all that. I like this real "handheld camera feel". You showed us that while being a pilot is an awesome career (what a nice plane and view!) it is also WORK. And this is good to see this snapshot in the life of a LCC pilot, keeping it real. Onward and upward in your career. Circumstances meant I could never realize my dream of being an airline pilot so I will live vicariously through your videos! Have my sub!
@@PilotOli Most welcome! Any chance you would consider doing a review of the Airbus A320neo in Microsoft Flight Simulator 😀 Would be amazing to hear your view on what they got right and what they got wrong! Happy flights! 😎
Fantastic video mate! Becoming more and more fascinated with aviation and the lives of a pilot and as a Brit this became both very relatable and millions of miles away. Could never do what you do. Please keep them coming
@@sdohnisvinoreih hiya, i haven't a clue how many hours they have under their belt. i don't think they have worked as flying instructors. they enrolled with CEA flight training, where they both did training in Oxford, Gatwick and then to Arizona. Once they passed the necessary requirements they could apply to the airlines. Good luck to you if you are interested in going down that route. Lots of hard work and horrendous expense. hopefully worth it in the end.
Hi there, Your video is great; I really enjoyed it. Congratulations on making your dream a reality. I often watch this kind of video on different channels, and yours is perfect. The only thing I missed was footage of the takeoff and landing, as that’s my favorite part. Once again, congrats! Maybe you'll fly me on holiday at some point. Best, Fabrice (from France)
Wow! @Lauda are really good giving you permission to film all this and then post it on social media. Many other operators wouldn't be at all ok with this. And nice captain letting you do it as well...
Who did you do your flight training with? andi love your video so much and think that more pilots should document their flights to give insights into aspiring pilots!
Like your videos and i like that you follow your childhood dream so seriously. Very cool. I am not a pilot but i have the dream also to fly one time in my life a big jet plane by myself 😅 it must be a very intense feeling, speeding down the runway and then pulling back the stick to feel the take off. greetings from austria
Great video! I have flown out of Stansted many times on a Lauda 320. Perhaps one day with yourself at the controls. All the best with your continued career.
Hi Oli, long time no see - delighted to see that you got to fly to Shannon in my native Ireland - Cead Mile Failte I Aerphort An Sionnann Éireann - hopefully, you will get to visit Ireland more often now, we Irish would love to see you - Living in Manchester myself, I’m hoping to visit my family in Ireland (near Dublin) very soon, as I’ve not been home since my birthday in October 2022 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congrats for your success this far! I will do the same flight in MSFS in the Fenix A320. I thought how about a video telling us about the first failure you faced as an A320 pilot and how it felt dealing it. As being a new pilot, facing a failure could be mentally hard during that part
Hey Oli! This video is awesome, it is funny, I am pretty sure your dad knows mine. My Dad was your parent's best man at their wedding. You are a great inspiration for me as I want to fly for Easyjet and seeing someone as young as you boosts my thoughts to become a pilot.
Hey Fin, I'll have to message your Dad! Looks cool you got to fly at Shoreham earlier this month. I think you're about the same age as when Oli did his first flight out of Redhill Aerodrome
Thank god there are first officers out there like you. Kids like you always make a captains day out super fun.
@@tangleteaser so kind to say! Always try my best to make each flight as enjoyable as possible for everyone!!!
I thought first officer had three stripes
@@ingvarcarlsson5386 he's a second officer
That came across as quite sinister. Phil Schofield, is that you...? 😅
@@PilotOli that’s lovely I’m a train driver
That sandwich killed all the pilot's glam😂
If a sandwich could ever look depressed and suicidal... this would be the one.
@@Dreadpirateflappy Nothing wrong with a ham and cheese on white every now and again!
A diagonal cut would make a lot of difference.
Thank God you're back! You're my favourite person to watch for these videos. I'm 14 and I hope to be an BA pilot on the A320 fleet and your videos give me that extra insight and info to get me really excited. Thanks man!
Good luck mate! Thanks for supporting the channel 😁
Hope you get there jake!
@@CasualGlassEnjoyer Cheers
Same! Although I hope I get a type rating on the 787s or even the future 777x.
👍👍👍
Wow a pilot video actually talking about the job and the life. Thank you for the no bs informative video.
@@brcosmin glad you enjoyed!
I really enjoyed this video, it was relaxed, down to earth, nothing fancy or pretentious, yet conveyed the enjoyment of this career path, so well done to you and wishing many years of this awesome career to you!
Cheers from Australia
(Regional pilot from here, doing it 12+ years now, doesn’t get old!)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how you called it a day out, it made me smile. It's good to see a pilots day through your eyes.
This has really motivated me to get up and chase my dream, gave up before covid but now very motivated to continue. Keep on flying!
Go for it!
Motivated????
@@malonejunior2711Yes motivation plays a big part in becoming a pilot. You may have the dreams but you need to have the will to follow through.
@@mahamedahmed-yw6ui couldn’t be put better! You can achieve anything off you have the drive!
Hello! For someone who is a bit scare in planes, its really nice to see that you have lovely days, with no stress or being anxious. Just enjoying a normal day at work! Next time I fly Im sure ill feel better! Thanx!
That’s amazing to hear! Flying is the safest form of transport believe it or not!
Wow it's been a while thanks for sharing can't wait for more 😊
You talk about that day like it's just going out on your bike for an hour. Don't know how you guys do this, the technical knowledge, the responsibility, the danger if something goes wrong and what to do...
Immense respect... great video. 👍
@@stevenclark1973 appreciate the kind words! Lots of training and practice!
Did you have to fly again the next day 😮😮 ??
you are living the dream of millions i mean this. please appreciate every second of this life for those millions of us that can’t get there.
Dream? Basicially a bus driver with wings, similar pay too
@@BritishBoy80 Lol you're so wrong with that figure. Try £40000 and they're always too tired and stressed and at a tight schedule to enjoy the 'exotic places'. Honestly you sound like a teenager who wants to be a pilot, not an adult.
@@BritishBoy80 Nvm just saw that you spend all day playing Minecraft. That explains everything
@EazyDuz18 maybe the ryanair pilots😂 but the big boys spend their life in the nicest hotels in the nicest countries banging the nicest chicks. you shouldn't get it twisted
Dream of millions? Waking up at 2.30am ? Shut up pls
Fair play to you mate. Its refreshing to see someone who enjoys what they do. Stay safe! 🤙

Really enjoyed that! No irrelevant subtitles, no irritating background music. Just interesting information and images!
Thank you for what you do.
low cost doesnt mean anything.. you gys are doing an amazing job
Very well said! Met some absolutely amazing pilots in my time working for a low cost airline! Thanks for watching
@@PilotOliDon’t kid yourself, low fare carrier pilots here in the US make more than legacy international pilots
In the middle of flying a multi-day pairing I’m watching someone else fly as well. Not sure why I do this but it’s fun.
Well done. You have learnt high level of responsibility & disciple from a young age.
Agreed
Fantastic video mate! Becoming more and more fascinated with aviation and the lives of a pilot and as a Brit this became both very relatable and millions of miles away. Could never do what you do. Please keep them coming
Thanks for sharing😊
My pleasure 😊
Thanks for the video mate, helps motivate me through CPL exams
Glad to hear it! Good luck for the exams
Glad to hear it! Good luck for the exams
Loved this. Thanks for sharing. Really interesting.
Nice video. Both my boys have recently started as 2nd officers with Jet2
Hi, Kenneth! I was just wondering how did your boys get the 1500 flight hours? Have they worked as flying instructors? Thanks. Kind regards.
@@sdohnisvinoreih hiya, i haven't a clue how many hours they have under their belt. i don't think they have worked as flying instructors. they enrolled with CEA flight training, where they both did training in Oxford, Gatwick and then to Arizona.

@@sdohnisvinoreihIn the UK, you can join the airlines with a Frozen ATPL. 1500 hours is not needed.
Love watching these planes thanks for the video thanks for your explaining of what you do and where you go
total respect, thank you and flippin well done !
Really nice video. What I like about it that its not all hyper-glammed up with loud music
Go on the boy! Proud of seeing you go so far
-TM
He’s back!!!
Sorry for the delay!!! Glad to be back!
Thanks so much, your video was the perfect cure for my insomnia. 👍
Thank you for this video. Very informative.
love this. So interesting to see you DITL. Have to agree that sandwich did look sad :(
this is so wholesome i love u pilot oli
I've always wanted to be a pilot but that ham sandwich has changed my mind....😂😂
Hahaha that was home made! But don’t worry, I’ve made my sandwiches a lot better 😂 and lots of airlines supply lunches
Never knew this - thanks for giving us a look at your life.
Just discovered this channel. Great stuff, keep up the good work.
Love this video! Such a cool insight into the life of the pilot
Very nice video. You seem like a very respectful man.
Finally the goat has returned ❤
So kind! Glad to be back
Oh' to be young again well done young man, remember back for up further back for down. 😊
Thanks for a nice video. I have never flown out from Stansted though, and I doubt I will as I am 83, live in Essex.
This was my dream job, unfortunately I got sick and could not do this, I almost got my PPL, it was very interesting to study. great video by you.
Enjoyed this, your living my dream
The A320 is one of my favorite planes. I wish I pursued the Pilot career and experienced flying one.
Man the satisfaction after work must be unreal. When you walk by the airport after the flights. And that paycheck 😜
Well done Oli brilliant well put together video

Finally!!! Please post more often
I’ll try my best!
I’m looking to be an airline pilot one day and your videos really motivate me and are just great 👍
Well done mate! Enjoy that life! You have a job that many people would like to do
Wow! @Lauda are really good giving you permission to film all this and then post it on social media. Many other operators wouldn't be at all ok with this. And nice captain letting you do it as well...
Lauda? Aren’t they doing flights for Ryanair?
@@JoeDFWAviation They are part of Ryanair.
Thanks lad for a great video!
hey..currently going through TR on the 320 ..your videos are really motivating and helpful..keep up the work mate..
Just subscribed to your channel! Had a quick look through your videos, they look like good viewings!
Thanks for the sub!
3:20 Ukrainian airline "SkyUP". Feels so unusual to see them, but anyways, wonderful video!
In warsaw we have like 3 skyup planes coming in a day
Amazing video mate. I'm currently finishing my PPL studies and hope to reach the airlines one day. Keep it up!! 😍
Great video and well done!
Good to see you relaxing
Good video, just make sure you look after yourself doing all the different shifts eg. Sleep, diet, general wellbeing etc
Who did you do your flight training with? andi love your video so much and think that more pilots should document their flights to give insights into aspiring pilots!
I did it with Leading Edge Aviation, a lot of my older videos showcase my flight training
Like your videos and i like that you follow your childhood dream so seriously. Very cool.
I am not a pilot but i have the dream also to fly one time in my life a big jet plane by myself 😅 it must be a very intense feeling, speeding down the runway and then pulling back the stick to feel the take off.
greetings from austria
Well done young man. I hope during your career you get to do many Captains only approaches like Funchal 👍
Great job
1:10. I LOVE weather like that.
Yeah there’s something about light in the mist at night
I really enjoyed this🙂 It's easy to be a weather forecaster in England, just say Sunny with Showers, goes for every day😂
Very cool video! I also work for Ryanair Group and it is always nice to see those Lauda A320 around. Congrats!
Thanks a lot!
Enjoyed that was really good, what time did you get home?
Love these videos mate, keep up the solid work!
Great content, in another life I would have loved to be a pilot. Will have to stick to flight sim. Love the A320
Believe me, flight simulators are really, well... more fun. Real life is not what it seems.
Thanks for the video. Can you do one on what you pack in your pilot bag.
good job first officer ..fly safe ..😉🤙✈
You look really young! Great video!
Glad you are still alive and still fly
Great video! I have flown out of Stansted many times on a Lauda 320. Perhaps one day with yourself at the controls. All the best with your continued career.
Just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed 😍
Great video dude! You're literally living my dream so subscribed for further videos :)
Love the videos bro! It's my dream to be a pilot too. One day hopefully.
Love the wallpaper
*Nice video thanks*
Great video Oli - have just subscribed👍.
Great insight into the life style.
Wow I didn't realise how many flights you did on a budget airline. I thought it was just 2-3 per day. Thanks for sharing this info!
Hi Oli, long time no see - delighted to see that you got to fly to Shannon in my native Ireland - Cead Mile Failte I Aerphort An Sionnann Éireann - hopefully, you will get to visit Ireland more often now, we Irish would love to see you - Living in Manchester myself, I’m hoping to visit my family in Ireland (near Dublin) very soon, as I’ve not been home since my birthday in October 2022 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congrats for your success this far! I will do the same flight in MSFS in the Fenix A320.
I thought how about a video telling us about the first failure you faced as an A320 pilot and how it felt dealing it. As being a new pilot, facing a failure could be mentally hard during that part

Soooo cool. Loved this vid. How many days off do you get now?

@@PilotOli sent!
hi there. quick question, how do you create those animated travel maps (01:51)? is there a specific tool/service/feature for this?
Just liked and subbed mate, looking forward to watching
great one Oli! Just missing a bit of chorizo on your breakfast for a perfect day
@@carlossvazquezz hahaha 100% missing the Spanish ways!
love these mate! make more longer ones
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Very cool video, did you have the same flight attendants in all flights?
You have the same cabin crew for the whole day, but it changes every day
Looks like Lauda, part of Ryan Air. Four sectors is a lot of flying. I fly one sector trans-Atlantic usually.
Nice one, looking forward to more! 🙌
heyy, really loved the video haha, what hour range are lates at your company? curious about it!!
Great video, please keep them coming 👍
The cockpit windows in planes such as the A320 do filter UV rays to an extent but still a very good idea to use some sort of sunscreen.
