      This flight is a "special flight" because it has 2stage, a "normal" flight over U.S mainland, then 2nd leg which is Transoceanic over the pond to Dublin, we need to get Transoceanic clearance before proceeding over the pond,(north Atlantic,NATRACKs),before Halifax,GooseBay ,Gander .all these clearance are done through ACARS, a nonverbal communication. It's 6hours over pond with special ops clearance called ETOPS/EDTO, mid-diversion alternate at Keflavic, this clearance ends once you're 60mins flight time from land or an nominated airport, or destination.
      Happy Flying!

    Damn, I miss my job. After 33 years with Continental/United I was forced to retire Sept. 1st. Not because of health or ability reasons but because I turned 65. My last flight as a 777 Captain was August 29, Seoul to San Francisco. and every day since it gets a little more depressing. It's scary how fast 33 years goes by when you love what you do. So be sure to take in and enjoy every minute of it, for before you know it it will all be over.

I begged him to stay on the ground but he’s wanted to do this since he was 5 yrs old and I don’t think I could sway him to do any different. I tried tho. I sit and wait at the airport while he takes his lessons. He flies a drone for my business and saved up all the money to pay for these lessons himself. I’m very proud of him. I bet you do miss your job a lot.

      @@matvei15 lol...Funny you asked that as it was my most stressful flight of my career. My first Captain flight was 23 years ago on a 737/800, Houston to Anchorage. I had completed my 25 hours of IOE, (Initial Operating Experience, the final check rides operating actual passenger flights with a Check Airman as my FO) just two days before. The IAH to ANC flight was a 757 flight, but a mechanical problem caused them to have to switch airplanes, but no other 757’s were available so they equipment substituted it to the 737/800. Problem was, that was really stretching the range of the 800. If upper level air temperatures and winds were good, and no in route weather deviations were needed AND the weather at ANC was good, the flight could be made and arrived at ANC with adequate reserve fuel, for which the absolute minimum was 4000 lbs. which just so happened to be the amount Saber, the company’s flight planning software, calculated I would arrive with. Everything seemed to be working out fine, up until it came time to climb to our final altitude of 36,000 ft. from 34,000. At 350 we entered an inversion layer and the OAT(outside air temp) shot up to ISA +15. We now could not safely make it to 360 and had to return to 340. And after doing the math it should we now would arrive with 3200 lbs, not 4000. Not only was it now illegal, but in the event I would have to do a go around it would have become an emergency to get priority to land. At the time we were about 45 minutes south of Seattle. I had my first officer call the company and explain the situation and told them we were landing in Seattle for fuel. The stressful part came in telling the passengers, who were already upset for being three hours late, that we now had to land in Seattle for fuel. lol.

      @@MK-hz2bn yes, I miss it very much. And no, you will not be able to talk him out of it. This was all I ever wanted to do since I was three years old. I had planned to go into the Air Force after college, but thanks to Jimmy Carter and what he did to the Armed Forces that dream evaporated. So after college I got a job at Western geophysical as a systems analyst. It was a very good job and I hated it. After a few years I realized that if this was gonna be my life I would probably commit suicide. That thought frightened me so much that the next day I went down to a small airport by my house and signed up to take flying lessons. I got myself put on the night shift at work and took lessons during the day. After about a year and a half I had my Instrument rating, multi engine rating, commercial pilots license and Flight Instructors rating. I found a job in Tulsa has a flight instructor, quit my job at Western and packed up and moved to Tulsa. I spent the next 10 years working my way up through the general aviation world and finally, on May 11, 1987 I was hired at Continental Airlines and began my Airline career as a 727 Flight Engineer. please tell your son for me, to not let anything dissuade him from his dream, for that would be the one thing in his life he will regret forever. Actually I feel sorry for people who are happy when they have to retire. That means they have spent a lifetime doing something they didn’t enjoy. I certainly can’t say that, thank god.

    • @PlanoFSXer
      @PlanoFSXer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      "off day" -- yes, they can -- kinda/sorta! Before a pilot can even begin the preflight paper work in their office (yes, there's such a thing) each member of the crew has to sign and confirm that they are mentally and physically fit to work their schedule. During training they are ingrained with the idea that not being fit to work can mean immediate termination, and worst case, death. So, what happens if one or more crew members pull back for whatever reason? Believe it or not, every leg of a flight has standby crews ready to take over, if one or more members of a crew are in any way incapacitated.

      @@HermannTheGreat thank you for your kind words. Most nurses that work in the cardiac operating rooms are pretty good and on top of things. I did that prior to perfusion school. Most docs were good, but some were very temperamental. I’m pretty easy going most of the time, but if the docs were doing something that put the patient in jeopardy, they would definitely hear about it. Most of them that I worked with knew that if I was complaining about something that there really was a situation developing and they paid attention. Of course there are those few that thought everything revolved around them. I’m glad that I’m out of the rat race now. More time for golf.

      As a child he was not encouraged to pursue what could have become a career.
      *"hard times"*
      Financial issues kept him from taking flying lessons.

      He needed to take other jobs to support himself and/or his family, preventing him from having the spare money and/or time to become a pilot.

      The relaxed attitude coupled with the highest standards is the norm for Aer Lingus. They have the highest percentage of female pilots, including their chief pilot for many years, of any international airline. They have not had a crash or incidents involving injury in more than 55 years. They also have a rule of regularly flying without autopilot to maintain their skills.
      A few people find their cabin crew somewhat abrupt, but it is just the normal Irish manner.

    • @pats.5941
      @pats.5941 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@alistairthow1384 Do you mean during the takeoff? Before a flight we always assign the duty of each pilot to be a pilot flying(PF) or pilot monitoring(PM). The PF is responsible for taking-off/maneuvering/landing (basically flying the aircraft) and the PM will be assisting in radio telephony/call outs and doing certain things in the procedure published by Airbus. In this case, she(the first officer) is the PF so she is doing the takeoff. The reason the captain put his hand on the thrust lever is because the captain is always responsible for the “STOP or GO” decision of the aircraft during takeoff, no matter he is a PF or PM on that flight. Once a very important speed is reach(V1 speed, you can look it up easily what it is), if the captain agrees that it is safe to lift-off, he will put his hand off the thrust lever indicating a “GO” decision. In any case of emergency before V1 speed he will “STOP” the aircraft and pulling the thrust back immediately.
      Hope I don’t confuse you and feel free to ask more questions!

      Once you know what each button does, it is not that complex. However, it is important to know how plane will behave with each reading (like trim, for example) or computer mode (you do not want plane to behave in a way that goes against what you want or you try to do). A bad trim setting and your plane may try to climb vertical or may try to keep the nose down. A bad computer mode setting and you will be fighting against the computer to not crash the plane. You need to understand the behavior of the plane.

    Mad amounts of respect to commercial airline pilots everywhere and the amount of professionalism, scrutiny, knowledge and patience required of them to do their job properly and make sure their passengers arrive safely at their destinations. I listen to their communications with air traffic control, and to me, they might as well be speaking a foreign language every time I hear random numbers followed by "fox trot" or "alpha" or whatever code names they use. It's almost like learning another language if you think about it. I'm absolutely mesmerized by it all and how it's all intricately designed to make sure they execute their jobs flawlessly.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this! It brought me to tears. It means so much to me that you featured a departure from SFO. Our beautiful light, skies, water, and hills are unmistakable. My father was with TWA from 1945-85; the majority of those years were at SFO. My mother began with Delta but moved to TWA, and my parents (both gone now) met at TWA at SFO in the late 1950s. I grew up with the airlines in my blood. When I was young, I listened to Channel 9 to hear the cockpit-air traffic controller communications, and my father and I would sit in our car behind the runway to watch takeoffs and landings. He taught me to identify all forms of aircraft. I miss those days! To this day, when I board an aircraft, I touch its exterior with my right hand as I leave the jetway, as if to say “thank you”.
