thanks ranishka and is it true that many pilots in the top airlines that got cadetships are very mean and dont even like flying they just liked the salary ?
Sorry for the poor quality everyone I filmed this when I'd just turned 14. If anyone's wondering I have my Private Pilot License and I'm shipping off to USAF BMT March 28th. Thanks for all of the views and criticism, it's made me better at filming and photography!
Even though I am 27 years of age, I still have dreams of flying an aircraft one day, whatever it takes. Yes I'm 27, but I had a minor setback which I regret, but have got myself together to excel in the aviation world. Very inspiring video right here.
I'm 30, and just now i've joined an airliner, (Gol linhas aéreas). well atm im off due to coronavirus, but hopefully the world will recover, so don't lose hope!
So if I were to parallell an Aircarft controls into a Car, I would be going- Ok all doors closed, safety belts On, side mirrors unlocked, and set, seat height adjusted , rear view mirror set, handbrake On, insert the ignition key, press clutch, free gear leaver to neuteral, fuel pump On, ECU powered on, wait for self check diagnostics, ABS checked OK, air bags Ok, coolant level Ok, sump oil level check Ok, Brake fluid level check Ok, ABS switched On, cruise control off, engine temperature check ok, windscreen washers Ok, check wipers, front and rear, horn Ok, head lights Ok, no bulb failure indicator on, Ok here we go, press start button, engine fires, check oil pressure, Ok, finally we are ready to take off, Check abs lights go out, check handbrake light goes out, check engine rev, check speed, shift gears as required, have a safe journey! (LOL) (forgot to check fuel level!)
that's exactly.. imagine how pilot have to know roughly everything. that doesnt include tons of procedure how to fly and knowing rules and regulations about destination they are flying into.. and also knowledge about weather trend and geography

If Your car would cost tens of millions dollars and owned by someone else + You had 200 passengers in Your "car", that would be something like train, and I suppose trains have some similar procedures. So that is the difference - car is ceap, yours, with you only or couple of passengers with You. Although it's more chance for catastrophic situations on cars and trains then on plane...statistically.
Pretty sweet. As a pilot, I'm glad you got this experience, dude. I thought I heard a mention that you plan on flight training at some point. Best wishes to you.
I used to watch this video years ago when I wanted to be a pilot. Now I'm an Airbus 320 pilot and I still love this video just as much as I did back then! Thanks for a great video
I admire those that aren't afraid to pursue their dreams.I so wanted to be an FA but didn't have the courage or self confidence to try, that was wayyyyyyyy back in the late 60's when things were very much more tighter, not like it is today. GOD BLESS all the pilots & FA'S.
wow! the amount of things they have to do before the flight. I always just figured they were in the cockpit waiting for everyone to sit the hell down and get their bags put up lol
I find it amazing that the 1st officer actually says that FSX is actually pretty accurate. That is something that you do not really want to hear in today's closely guarded security world. Good vid.
I get asmr on SOME pre flight vids , but this video is old and doesn't give that effect, that's how I came upon this one, it's a cool video though, those Planes are relics now this was filmed at least 12-15 years ago, I enjoyed it I'm a history buff , so the Aviation History I'm also interested in and know a few good and not so good things about Boeing, the 737 in particular
Spencer Moffatt I'm 13 and planning to join the us NAVY then go into commercial flying, people ask me why I want to be a pilot I simply can't tell them, I don't know myself, I love everything about it, all of it is amazing, it's the future can't wait to see if I'm that captain one day...

It will not make the path easier - maybe even harder. Classic path would be to start with gliding(which USAF pilots are going through as well), then get PPL licence, build hours with flightshare, civil services, instructing...then get small aircraft CPL, then gradually rise Your carrier to bigger planes if interested. I suspect, that airliner pilot job is not as interesting in long terms, then being just in good paid position and have Your private flight abilities, like personal or rented plane, PPL maybe involvement in soaring sports - that could bring less stress, more romance and diversity from aviation. But of course - study the subject, that is really good age to start from and start to build Your knowledge, experience...and making right choice is much more easier. As from my experience, I can tell, that it's not as important to see if You can be something(You can be anything You want unless You have health and mental problems and attitude), life is about getting experience and it might become boring and psychologically challenging with repeating experience, where only destination points and weather is changing.
Great video, very cool crew. Love how even though the F/O is flying real world, he still enjoys the hobby of flight simulation and still has one set up in his home!
that is because fos or even captains they are still learning even thou they have a lot of experience and flying hours. every flight is a new flight for the dedicated flight crews
Am pretending it's the Entérprize crew checking that they have gotten the rats out the works and making sure they are ratz profited so they can make one hop two skip and three jump located me in my pod drifting in the lumberia/Ratz zone of space
Also a capt for Southwest. Folks if you would like to see the cockpit, we always love to bring you up before the flight. I've never thought to go through the preflight before, that's a great idea. The aircraft is a next generation 737-700, our primary aircraft. I'm also an FSX user and it's not a bad sim as far as accuracy. Again don't be scared to ask, we really like showing off our toys!
I flew Southwest from New Mexico to Philly with a stop in Texas. When we landed in Houston, the pilots let me come up in the cockpit and check it out... amazing experience
Wow! As a traveler, I didn't know that the cockpit can be that small and crowded with tons of buttons to take care of. Thanks for the upload. A real eye-opener for me.
they just don't like it. Freedom of choice I guess. But it was a rare view of an American airliner's cockpit which after 9/11 is hard to get. Last Dec. I was granted a visit to the cockpit and the Capt. allowed me to sat on the left seat and he took pics of me. It was an A320 from Jet Blue at JFK after landing so I guess they do that nowadays. Back in the '80s I was allowed to enter the cockpit of a Lufthansa 737 over the Alps and believe me that was awesome. I had good luck!
It had to have been recorded within the last year or two, because he mentioned that he has PMDG's 737NGX, which came out in 2011. And it sounds like he just asked the pilot, but I could be wrong.
I think they have made these things far too complicated, there should just be 3 pedals and a steering wheel and a handbrake, and may be one or two more things to control flaps, and normal car type ignition keys, start the bloody engine put into gear and off you go, why make it so complicated!
Nice job Chad 👍.. and for the guy posting, I went to college with the captain and agree, Central Texas College (CTC) was a good school for Aviation, also TSTC Texas State Technical College, not sure if they are still doing the Aviation training though. Good job and good luck.
Oh man it was over a decade ago... but I'm pretty sure my dad asked if I could see the cockpit while the Captain was at the gate and he let me on early!
I started with SW Airlines in ELP in 1983 on the ramp. I got my private license and due to my intense interest in flying many of the flight crews allowed me to fly jump-seat from LAX ELP HOU MDW LBB and many other cities. That lasted a few years, some of the best years. I retired in 2004. By the way, paraplegia keeps you out of the cockpit (thats what happened later). Watch your back, literally. Thanks for a great video!
True professionals and wonderful that their giving this young man encouragement in becoming a pilot and very calm and courageous it really takes extreme dedication to this job I have nothing but respect for these guys.
Man I wish I was a young person again 20 years ago just starting to look at career choices, I would definitely choose to go to Aviation College and follow a career towards being a fully certified commercial pilot. Being stuck in office environments in the IT field is absolutely mind numbingly boring and tedious :(
Funny, you slamming budget carriers while claiming to fly for QF, when the video on your channel that you claim is you starting a QF 737 is stolen from a Ryanair 737 FO. Your other video is a mashup of random clips from other people, with a few pictures of you sitting in the FO's seat, clearly as a passenger visiting the cockpit after a flight. Also, you don't cross check on startup items. You're a liar and you're wrong.
i don't think so.. if he was he would have mentioned that.. coz he said, he asked the capt when he was at the podium to let him in early than other passengers and notice ther capt saying that there is a fligh school in texas which is good and not that expensive n all.. seems like a cool capt. to me
You only set the FH option in the video menu I use the FX option(1920x1080) in the option, this will give you the highest HD video capture in your Sony cam.
This is incredible, this may be the first video that shows the system checklists for SWA. I wish to fly for this airline someday. Thank you for letting us view this glimpse of airline life.
It's really cool seeing these sorts of videos; not just to witness the cockpit ops but also to see how welcoming and friendly some of the flight crews are to aspiring pilots. If any of us viewers make it into such a position we should act in the same way.
Oh, sorry I forgot, outstanding video, thank you very much for sharing this on TH-cam and good luck in any future endeavours as a pilot you may pursue. :)
This cockpit looks like it belongs in a aviation museum , most planes made in 2015' ( or around then ) and made today are almost exclusively touch screen, took a a ton of them switches and dials out, Boeing 737 still a work horse though but are rarer and rarer in 24'
Man! You've REALLY got a quick eye! But of course, that just comes w/ experience, which you obviously have a great deal of, over me (I've only been in commercial aviation for a relatively short amount of time, compared to you, I'm sure). The reason I'm so down on myself is b/c I've watched this video over & over & over again- paying special attention to the Pilot's hands, as he goes through his checks, but I no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to catch ANY of the mistakes that he made!
It seems the flow performed by the captain is not normal based on Boeing's recommended procedures for airlines. Fuel pumps at that stage should not be "ON" until engine startup. Same with the hydraulic pumps. If anything all should be placed "ON" not just one system. The ropes are checked as you first walk in the cockpit and a light test performed by one pilot not both. The captain was all over the place. Hence why the copilot said "he forgets everything".
@afcaj0od, I know! I'm saying that (hearing from pilots) they hear a lot of people who talk about flight sim and to most pilots it's not a problem but also a lot of pilots take it the wrong way as"you think you can fly". I talk to the pilots and just say I have studied the cockpit a lot through the a sim and know the layout pretty good but of course flying is a different story. By yea I agree with you, flight sim is an excellent prepare tool. I'm very thankful for it.
This goes to prove that whether you fly a Cessna 172, Cirrus, Beechcraft or Boeing, the checklists and flow are all of utmost importance. ATIS/weather acknowledgement is the same for IFR or VFR at controlled airports, for a Boeing or Beech Baron. PPL, CFI or ATP should have the same thought process, safety!!!! Ultimately, the point is we as pilots are taught emergencies procedures, or for that "what if" moment and its the same whether you fly a 737 at FL23 or a Cirrus SR 20 at 025. Great video!
In August 1975, when I was 13, while me and my family were flying back after visiting my Grandfather from JFK to SFO, with a stop in Indianapolis we were boarding a TWA 727, when boarding, I was looking at the cockpit while waiting in line and the next thing you know the Captain invited me an my little brother in and the stewardess closed the door behind us. He let my brother sit in the captains seat for a minute and showed us some of the things the buttons do, etc. I never forgot that.
Even us Cessna 172 low hour students use checklists, but this guy is fast. That''s the difference between a PICPP and a PICCP! For sure. But the concept is the same, just that in a Cessna you feel everything and have to crab more if there's cross-winds, and VFR is a lot more restricted of course. FX doesn't help you feel the real climb, so before flight school take a couple lessons to make sure you like it. It's very exciting at first, but after 100 patterns you will get the idea. I'm a lawyer
That Captain sounded so nice and helpful (=. Good for him. The world is a better place with friendly people like him.
chris pryazhentsev Wow Really ? Can u explain a bit more ?
thanks and what do you mean by children bending rules ?
conor L He meant to say that the Airline Pilots will bend the rules to show kids the cockpit now and then.
thanks ranishka and is it true that many pilots in the top airlines that got cadetships are very mean and dont even like flying they just liked the salary ?
***** didn't the captains son on Aeroflot 593 also engage some autopilot function that put the A310 is some holding pattern
3:01 “i got a flight simulator at home”
Gpws : *NO* 🤣

Congrats! Im also going to start my training in about 2 years when I turn 20 and try to obtain my ATPL and FCC by 24!
What AFSC are you?
BMT? You should go to OCS and become a pilot!
That's fantastic! Congratulations! Best of luck!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Good luck with your career!
I wish you continued success!
Just for the PMDG part I put "like" hahaha
Lol Ikr is coulee the agree more! I love peg so much. So worth the money.

Same as you!! 27 and starting my ppl next week! Best of luck! Greetings from MMQT
In my college, there's fellow students your age who have come from engineering and IT jobs studying for their CPL, it's not too late!

I'm 30, and just now i've joined an airliner, (Gol linhas aéreas). well atm im off due to coronavirus, but hopefully the world will recover, so don't lose hope!
"I fly the uhhh the PMDG"
Omfg I was so young!
I thought the same thing because I saw this video a while ago
hey man ! im wondering how is it going on nowadays...are u in training or did u just forget about flyng ?
HartsfieldSpotting did you just ask the pilots to go and watch them start up the plane?
You still are :)
Heh, PMDG. Yeah I think all of us simmers have it.
i don’t :(
every flight simmer who likes boeing737 series should have it..
and flight sim labs a320 for the airbus fans..
dyzio2206 don't buy FSlabs
Zibo mod is better

Our SWA crews are the BEST and I am PROUD to have been part of this family for over 21 years now!
Congratulations, there is just something about SWA, & I believe others may be secretly envious of.Happy flying!!!
Parabéns a você like, brazil.
Pretty sweet. As a pilot, I'm glad you got this experience, dude. I thought I heard a mention that you plan on flight training at some point. Best wishes to you.

Yes, I became a school bus driver for many, many years, 1st regular route then special needs until my health forced me out to soon.
Now Southwest Airlines has EFB's (electronic flight bags) in the form of IPads to save on the paperwork.

@@Kakaliiii SWAAAAA
wow! the amount of things they have to do before the flight. I always just figured they were in the cockpit waiting for everyone to sit the hell down and get their bags put up lol
How did you board early?! You just noticed the Captain in the terminal and asked him?
The pilot is probably a family friend or a relative
Sadly I didn't see the startup. The captain was at the podium so I went and talked to him. He let me go on the flight 15 minutes early.
I find it amazing that the 1st officer actually says that FSX is actually pretty accurate. That is something that you do not really want to hear in today's closely guarded security world. Good vid.
He said X-Plane 10
+X-Plane 10 Swag it was flight sim 10. Could go either way
lol fanboy. He specifically said Flight Simulator 10.
which could go either way what does fsx stand for? flight simulator 10 lmao
there was no 'x-plane' mentioned fanboy
I could be the whole day listening to the sound of a copkit and the pilost speaking on the radios... its so nice :)

hahahaha dat made me laugh
This reminds me of the humour on YT-video vZU7bfOeiu8 "Northwest DC-9 Adventures" --- I recommend some low-pass filter watching it :)
ATP opens the doors to bigger faster airplanes and you get to fly all over the globe. That's the difference of flying smaller vs bigger planes.
I find this extremely fascinating. I'm 13 and I am planning on joining the airforce to learn how to fly and get my flight hours in
Follow your dreams, kid :)

My dad works for Southwest in the cargo department and you are right. They really do go the extra mile for their customers. They are a great company!
That's so cool. How did you do this? I thought pilots don't let you in? Sorry, I'm not really aware of the rules nowadays.
Great video and what an awesome Captian and FO. Giving advice and encouragement to the next generation!
That southern Texas dialect is like music to my ears!! AWESOME VIDEO!!
Why did people dislike this?

***** I totally agree with you.
Mike, your kidding right? Tell me you were just making a funny.
who doesn't wanna be a pilot?
It would be my 'dreamjob' anyways, knowing im probably not going to become one...
I do my best in what i'm good in.
Nice. I am also a aviation geek. Never got to go into an airline cockpit
You are so lucky to have been able to see preflight!
You sure it weren't brad Pit flying?

Looks like a very good pilot who helps out others!
Aaah southwest, the airline fined millions of dollars for not keeping their aircraft FAA approved.
And some drivers cant even on their goddamn headlights at night
thats really cool, i thought the restriction on cockpit entry was really strict in the US?
Cote X Only during flight. But you can ask when they are on the ground preflight or at the terminal.
LOL I laughed when I saw the ATIS written on the napkin
Do they always fly the same plane??
PMDG is the way to go on flight sim
this is an awesome experience, thank you for sharing :)

This cockpit looks like it belongs in a aviation museum , most planes made in 2015' ( or around then ) and made today are almost exclusively touch screen, took a a ton of them switches and dials out, Boeing 737 still a work horse though but are rarer and rarer in 24'
i love the pilot's uniforms. They look snaaaazzyyyy. LOL. Like if you agree.
So lucky :D
Why did that captain configured for before start(fuel pumps on, hydraulic pumps...) even before passenger boarding?
Man! You've REALLY got a quick eye! But of course, that just comes w/ experience, which you obviously have a great deal of, over me (I've only been in commercial aviation for a relatively short amount of time, compared to you, I'm sure).
The reason I'm so down on myself is b/c I've watched this video over & over & over again- paying special attention to the Pilot's hands, as he goes through his checks, but I no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to catch ANY of the mistakes that he made!
It seems the flow performed by the captain is not normal based on Boeing's recommended procedures for airlines. Fuel pumps at that stage should not be "ON" until engine startup. Same with the hydraulic pumps. If anything all should be placed "ON" not just one system. The ropes are checked as you first walk in the cockpit and a light test performed by one pilot not both. The captain was all over the place. Hence why the copilot said "he forgets everything".
@afcaj0od, I know! I'm saying that (hearing from pilots) they hear a lot of people who talk about flight sim and to most pilots it's not a problem but also a lot of pilots take it the wrong way as"you think you can fly". I talk to the pilots and just say I have studied the cockpit a lot through the a sim and know the layout pretty good but of course flying is a different story. By yea I agree with you, flight sim is an excellent prepare tool. I'm very thankful for it.
This goes to prove that whether you fly a Cessna 172, Cirrus, Beechcraft or Boeing, the checklists and flow are all of utmost importance. ATIS/weather acknowledgement is the same for IFR or VFR at controlled airports, for a Boeing or Beech Baron. PPL, CFI or ATP should have the same thought process, safety!!!! Ultimately, the point is we as pilots are taught emergencies procedures, or for that "what if" moment and its the same whether you fly a 737 at FL23 or a Cirrus SR 20 at 025. Great video!
In August 1975, when I was 13, while me and my family were flying back after visiting my Grandfather from JFK to SFO, with a stop in Indianapolis we were boarding a TWA 727, when boarding, I was looking at the cockpit while waiting in line and the next thing you know the Captain invited me an my little brother in and the stewardess closed the door behind us. He let my brother sit in the captains seat for a minute and showed us some of the things the buttons do, etc. I never forgot that.
Even us Cessna 172 low hour students use checklists, but this guy is fast. That''s the difference between a PICPP and a PICCP! For sure. But the concept is the same, just that in a Cessna you feel everything and have to crab more if there's cross-winds, and VFR is a lot more restricted of course. FX doesn't help you feel the real climb, so before flight school take a couple lessons to make sure you like it. It's very exciting at first, but after 100 patterns you will get the idea. I'm a lawyer
