"...and I'm not even the captain!" as far as I am aware this is the first time Kelsey has *indirectly* acknowledged his promotion
He is a humble person! Never one to express pride!
That's why we love him!
@roberthevern6169 This is where wokies could take a lesson or two from kelsey. Of course if they wanted it in the first place .
I _did_ notice he's wearing captain's epaulettes a few episodes back, but I struggled remembering when the change happened, and whether he actually acknowledged it. So I guess I was right and he didn't :D
@@theAessayait changed at the first of the year I think and he's not mentioned it verbally.
But he has worn the jacket with it on.
@@Calemdoscope-uq1ygcringe comment
Taylor’s stuff was in good hands. Someone should tell her that her equipment’s pilot is a rock star.
Or tell her she married the wrong guy. :D
On that note, I probably should never be Kelsey's wingman...
@@jackielinde7568They're not married yet.
I decoded that's what he's doing before he mentioned it. Makes sense though to send the no-drama pro!
Incubus or Alice Cooper
@@metatechnologist So you're sayin there's a chance
Omg as an Aussie Swiftie, AV geek and long time subscriber of your channel, watching this was something amazing. Thanks for making the concerts down under possible.
I'm a retired Army veteran & appreciate you sharing your time and taking us along Kelsey! With many deployments I have nothing but love for ya for doing those freedom bird flights for us, love your content and I edit some vids for own hobby and just family memories and its tedious but rewarding, your cuts and edits are on point brother! Keep the blue side up 🤙
"Everyone wants to be a pilot, until they have to do pilot stuff. Getting up at 3 in the morning is pilot stuff." Exactly.
Waking up at 3am > waiting
3am being the middle of your day -mechanic stuff
@@zpilot4523 Working through 3 am is alot better than waking up at 3 am.
To be honest it's very tough timing for aviation industry
Ain't that the truth. I always wanted to be in aviation, but I took a different path in IT/Software Dev route. I absolutely take it for granted, but I work from home and I get to wake up pretty much when I want to. I Schedule my day around my work that is at a convenience to me and everyone is cool with it. My job has afforded me a lot of cool shit, but part of me misses just "being out there" and doing stuff. Grass is always greener, of course, part of me would kill just to go around the world and fly planes; how awesome would that be to do?
Love this “day in the life” type of video. Shows the less glamorous, but essential side of a pilots career. Great job Kelsey!
His pilot vlogs series is my favorite! I feel like tagged along on his ride and experiences. ❤ This is the only channel that I will always watch in the best resolution/quality available.
ya he is very good at vlogging
I saw the thumbnail, and noticed the extra gold bar; thought to myself he's a Captain now?! Congratulations!
I thought the exact same thing!
he has been for a little bit now
@@Crazyclay78YT excellent! A well deserved promotion.
6:09 “One of the guys is from Wisconsin. This is like summer for him.” As a Wisconsinite myself, I can confirm he’s correct!
Don't know how you all do it... i was freezing in April! Lol
@@adyerenvazquez3177 it's called "wear layers"... when it's super cold out, you may have on several more than normal, and when you go inside, you shed them like a snake would shed a skin. If properly attired, it's only really unbearable when it's subzero and the wind is blowing hard. But then again, those of us in MN and WI are known to wear just a windbreaker or light jacket if it's "only" going to dip into the 50s (F) but will be warmer most of the day. We also see motorcycles driving in the winter here on occasion... not right after major snowfalls, but once the roads are plowed out again.
@@adyerenvazquez3177 As an Illinois guy I wear shorts 24/7 year round. -20F? shorts
Fan or not, it’s pretty cool that for a small era of your life, you got to be part of that tour. It’s amazing how swiftly this career can go from boring hotel life to exciting. Sounds like you were tailor-made for this job.
I see what you did there. Very clever!
😂😂😂 you went for the touchdown!!
I hope he shakes it off.
Are you implying Kelsey helped with the Kansas City Chiefs World Tour?
I like how the map marker is 'PINK' in colour, is that a hint?
congratulations on having it be your turn to have another pilot say "captain, can I have this landing?"
I remember a nervous Kelsey waiting in the briefing room, wanting to ask the Captain if he could be doing the landing in Mexico, his first then (he was allowed to) 😂 Now he's the skipper!
May I have this dance ? Ha...ha....
@@AndreaDE-ep1iq I remember that one too! Even just as fans of the channel, so proud of him.
Kelsey doing what the other Kelce can’t. Well done!
I flew part 91 for a wealthy family, people were always amazed "OMG you get to travel the world on a private jet"? I'd say "yep, I've seen the inside of FBO's & hotel rooms on all 7 continents"!
"And I'm not even the Captain." That's the first time Kelsey acknowledged his promotion on video!
@kingderpington6082 he is still a captain. He just wasn't on takeoff/landing for this flight
whooosh@@kingderpington6082
@@kingderpington6082 Pretty sure he just meant that he wasn't the Captain in command on that flight, as he said he was just cruise relief on that flight. On the following flight, you can see he was the Captain in command.
What about the stripes 🫤🫤
@@user-hp6so6ln8s The stripes is his rank (4 stripes = captain) but it doesn't mean he is captain in command for a certain flight.
I've cleared international freight through customs for a living, I definitely feel like I've been a part" of a lot of cool stories.
Their used to be a recruiting ad, for the Royal Navy - "Who wants to just be a cog in a machine?"
"It all depends on the machine...."
Mankind's finest work is done in teams.
@@wessexdruid7598 Thanks for that great comment!
"If I think the chances he'll kill us all are 10% or less I'll let him take the landing.. because nobody wants to have to go and train" 😮😮😂
Nice job Kelsey! I love going on flights with you as your attitude is always so positive. I did a lot of flying while in the Coast Guard. I know how exciting it is to fly non-stop for 18 hours in a search grid in the middle of the ocean at a few hundred feet above the water. But I still love flying!
I was one of the people putting the contents of your plane together in Melbourne! So cool to see part of its journey to us
74gear out here getting some concert performer's stuff swiftly to the next era of the tour
Nice one 😏
See what you did there ;)
going to a concert I bet there are many costumes. Bet there's a tailor on board
@@davep6977😉
😉
I like the way your face changes from "good ol' Kelsey" to "Captain Kelsey" when you take your place in the pilot's seat. It is like when you meet a surgeon telling jokes at the cafeteria and then you see him approaching the operating table with gloves and mask and everything: a metamorphosis!
Oh that surgeon is definitely making jokes while you're unconscious lol
A hoody in the cockpit? Seriously?
@@khadijagwen It gets COLD up there in the cockpit at altitude in the winter.
@@khadijagwen He's gonna fly triple digits in living people on a metal chassis that weighs something like 400 tons for *hours* mate. I'd rather have him wear something that makes him comfortable than something that makes him look professional. Comfort > appearance
@@khadijagwen He's mentioned a few times that it's primarily to keep the sun off his skin, which makes perfect sense to me. Since he's flying cargo, not passengers, it's just him and the rest of the flight crew and a bunch of containers, so there's no need to be in full uniform through the entire flight.
I enjoy these on the road videos of yours the most. It is interesting to see the things pilots do with the travel, resting periods on the plane and the places you visit.
Thanks for taking us along.
The fact that All I had to hear was they're a famous person and I knew EXACTLY What you were flying ... LOVE IT!!!!
2:21 The guy in the back waving had me laughing 😆
Great video kelsey!
Haha, at first I didn't see him but man I laughed 😂 after. Thank you for pointing 👉 that out.
😂😂😂 saw that too❗️ 👍🏻 THANKS, AND THANK YOU KELSEY for not editing this segment out❗️❤
I noticed that, too, and wondered if he recognized Kelsey or just saw the camera. Whichever the case, I still laughed.
Great video, Kelsey! Love the cockpit action (and the flight instruments/FMS in particular) that we don't normally get to see. One of the perks of flying cargo, I guess. 😂
LOL I totally missed that 😂
LOLOLOL, thanks, I missed that! 😂
9:30 Maybe he doesn't want to say it, but I will -- they were transporting Taylor Swift's tour equipment from Japan to Australia.
I figured she had a private jet by now
He legally cant, and yes everyone realises that
@jamesTBurke she yes. the equipment no
Even as an old guy who doesn’t put any effort into knowing anything about her - I knew it was her… 😂
Not from Japan, from Singapore!!!!!
My man! I love your honesty and one day I hope to be living this dream!
Thanks for your videos. I’m impressed with your down to earth attitude. As a 70 year old pilot, I look back on my flying days fondly but the line you mentioned in your video, “we’re all here to fly” really hit home to me. Thanks again and I’ll look forward to your next post.
If I was Taylor and saw this, I’d 100% thank you and the other pilots and crew for being a part of the tour! That’s really awesome Kelsey!!
I had a feeling that's who's "stuff" needed shopping from Japan to Australia. What a job
I have to say the view from Kelsey's office window is hard to beat.
The International Space Station is not bad either!
Yeah, but it's a long way down if you screw up.
When I went skydiving. After we opened the chute and were just chilling, my instructor said "welcome to my office". Man... I was envious of his office view hahah
What an awesome channel !... as a private pilot, I really enjoy your stories and taking us along for the ride ... completely entertaining and informative ... thank you sir ...!
“I love Chicago but not in February” those are some of the most relatable words I have ever heard
One of the biggest problems with sitting around a hotel room is, there really is no place to sit. Almost no hotel room has a recliner type chair and the desk chairs suck and any other thing provided like a couch suck too.
I’d easily go with a queen bed, if they put in a recliner, even a hospital room recliner will do over nothing. It's strange, when hospital rooms are better laid out than hotel rooms. I would _almost_ rather stay in one of those for a week.
I concur. I've only ever spent about 3 days max in a hotel & a couple have even had a chair besides the desk chair. Would making it a recliner be that difficult?
I have broke my share of hotel desk chairs leaning back feet up on the bed watching tv.
@@randyogburn2498 Even disregarding the additional expense, kids' tendencies to stick their fingers in mechanisms like that make recliners a bad idea as standard equipment.
@@randyogburn2498
No, it would not be difficult, but hotels do not want to do it. Until the first brand does and outcompetes, recliners will unlikely trickle down. Even the extended stays don't do it, and those lot have every reason to.
Really enjoy watching your videos.
While you may not know us (people of the internet), it still feels like you're talking to the camera, as if you're talking to a friend.
Thank you for taking us/me along on your journey. :)
I love your videos! I was a firefighter/paramedic for 30+ years and have so many stories about sleep deprivation with people depending on you. Enjoy and imbrace the craziness, as we all hit a wall at some point. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the glimpse into your life!!
I’m glad that even Kelsey still does the “keys wallet phone” check like the rest of us.
"Wallet, keys, comb, pen, watch, dogtags." Did that check for 21 years in the military. Flew helicopters for the first half, then a desk for the second. Kept it at a low hover.
I retired in 2002. Haven't worn a watch or dogtags since. Still do the mental check though.
Thanks for the great videos, Kelsey!
He's a pilot, gotta have a checklist.
Ah, the pocket Macerana!
I do the same.
Always made the Austin powers version my go-to; spectacles, testicles, wallet & watch!
When you mention being apart of things, I remember feeling that way when I worked the ramp. All the people I helped get from one area of the world to another, all the mail, packages, loved ones, etc. It can sound a little stupid, but it's one part I loved about working in the transportation industry. There are so many moving parts to get someone or something from point A to point B, and to be apart of that always amazed me.
I used to work the ramp for Alaska Airlines, and I know the feeling. There's something incredibly satisfying about the entire process of turning aircraft, and knowing that your effort made a difference to a lot of people, even if they don't know it. A lot of people just don't think about what actually has to take place to get them from point A to point B, it's just kind of this unseen magic to them. I liked being part of that magic.
Thanks to you both. When I fly, I am grateful to all those who've made it possible, especially when we land at 7am and I know all of you have gotten up at 4 am so that I can arrive there safely and comfortably. 💖🌹
Terrific. Kelsey, your videos just keep getting better and better. You sound so relaxed and anything that comes up you know you can handle it. What a great attitude ! I don't think I have ever flown with you, my bad but I keep going, like you do, so maybe some day .......
The thing about Melbourne is that you get six seasons in one day. We used to think that it was four seasons, but then someone discovered some ancient Aboriginal lore where they described six seasons in Melbourne. It fits with the data. Never mind.If it's really hot (between 110F and 115F), it could be 70F later in the day.
I was flying out of Charlotte a week ago and got to watch a 747 take off ahead of us. That is a majestic thing to see.
Who was flying a 747 out of CLT? Airforce 1?
@@benmaye1 Lufthansa
Edit: Did some digging and sounds like Lufthansa is mainly using A350s for their CLT to Europe flights. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if they or someone else fly a 747 out of there from time to time.
@@benmaye1 Did some more digging, apparently UPS flies a 747 in or out of there from time to time. Kind of rare but not never.
Thank you! I struggle for the feeling/descriptor when I watch those huge planes lift into the air. You nailed it with "majestic"
Great video, @74Gear. Perfect pace and cuts. As somebody else said, your vlog editing is next level. The content doesn't hurt, either.
Well done, Kelsey!
Yep. Perfection.
I am 70 years young. My uncle was one of the designers of the 747 back in the day. When he retired, he still built small planes, and used them for a while then sell them. I have been in 747's many times, mostly to Asia. But I have to say it would be a pleasure or maybe even fun to have you as Captain once. Could be a blast.
Thank you for showing us the other side of the job Kelsey, a great and privileged insight into how it all happens
you've come so far! actually seeing you vlogging in the cabin and people recognizing you is amazing. keep up the good work!
Remember the days when people accused him of being a "fake pilot?" I'm so glad that those days were far behind now. Those are not fake cabins/cockpits and not a fake outside "office" window view!!! ❤😂
@@LadyVoldemort It's all just really good CGI!!!
I work on-call about three nights a week and one weekend a month for my job too. On top of the regular 40 hours a week. It’s a weird baseline anxiety waiting for a call and having to stay within 30 min of the hospital. Cheers to us 🎉
Shucks, my husband and I did that Saturday morning. Since he's no longer able to drive, our son sometimes takes him on outings. On Friday night, our son said IF he decided to take his dad along, he would call, and his dad would have 15 minutes to be ready. So I made sure everything was ready to go... then our son decided not to go. Disappointing, but our son is a hard working young man trying to maintain his work-life balance. He's hyper aware of the balance, because his previous job touted it, then pretty much trashed the schedules of its workers.
Always nice to see how you do your job. Thanks for showing❤
I love these 74 Vlogs. Nice to see the realities of the life of a commercial pilot.

Hey K, while I enjoy all of your videos this is another especially great one. Really gives one a feeling on being along for the job - the fun parts, the routine stretches, the tough tired bits. Thank you for the effort to make these videos.
The effort to plan, film, edit, narrate and publish these vids is amazing.
Outstanding effort and fantastic final product.
Keep it going
Thank you for sharing life in the industry.😊😊
Beautiful 747 flying are gorgeous!!😊
Trapped in a hotel on a 90-minute leash of uncertainty seems fairly frustrating. However, it is so exciting when you are flying with such incredible views ! Thank you for letting us tag along.
Per the book it's 90 minute report but on R2 at the same company as Kelsey I've always been assigned flying the next day or so. Sure, you could be given that short call, but it's not very common on the 747.
@@burnn3 Wouldn't the 90-minutes requirement be in case a fast swap is needed (e.g sick pilot on short notice or a drunk pilot, or other reasons why a new pilot would be needed)?
@@burnn3How does that work with rest periods though? If it's a long haul trip I'd figure they'd need to give you at least 8hrs so you could definitely get a full rest in before the flight.
I'm sure there's something simple I'm missing but I'm just trying to figure out when I would sleep if I always had to be ready to fly within 90 minutes.
@@fuhkerz -- As you might have noticed, it was 90 minutes notice, but then he flew (as a passenger) to another city, and had time to rest (sort of), and then when he boarded his plane, he wasn't on the first shift, so he had even more time to sleep. It's a lousy schedule, but it worked. I'm uncertain how many snacks he managed to score though.
@TheRealScooterGuy Yeah I assumed it doesn't always work out like that and sometimes the flight they need you for is much closer. I also thought relief crews usually had to be present for the takeoff regardless but I guess that could be airline dependent.
Absolutely love these videos. Your personality is what makes them
Yes!
Love your presentations--loved the shots in and from the aircraft. Thanks.
Great video, probably the best one for you yet... Camera angles, voice tone right on. Everything was perfect...along with your extra stripe, comes better videos...keep em coming...great job.
I am in awe of how organized you are; if someone woke me up at 3 AM I wouldn't know which way to turn, let alone get ready to fly a 747 and remember to take everything I brought into the hotel room
It's like driving for pilots. Or any other job. You're awake by the time you have to perform
My reaction: "There's a 3.00 in the morning now too?!" 😫🥱
@@BreandanAnraoi
If you watch all his pilot vlogs, it could be much harsher than this. 😅 Life of a (cargo) captain...and he's born for it! Hottest bachelor at 37.
@@LadyVoldemort oh I do. I would just not be able!! I don't know how he does it.
Having worked in a 24/7 department for 19 years, you get used to it. It really fucks up one's sleep schedule for the rest of their life. But you do get used to it.
Kelsey, I love this format. It's a great respite from your (also great) "reaction" videos (I hate calling them that, but it's kind of what they are). I love seeing the day-to-day experiences you have and the glimps into what this "glamorous" (to some) life is really about. Even if it wasn't extreme or hair-raising or emotionally charged (which, in general, is what gets YT clicks), it's great and we want more! Keep the blue side up.
Great video. One your best. Thanks for what seems a newer style. Action, explanations, music etc.
Great work Kelsey. Love the channel. This video was really outstanding. Been flying since the 70s steam gauge six pack era and managed to make it this far in GA . Even with all the drastic changes in airspace , equipment, atc and cockpit gadgets - Your candid insights reflecting the learning curve pilots have to go through , from single, to multi to atp 747 airman are entertaining, informative and the best experience on TH-cam .
Those pilot mis-adventures and challenges that pros like you have to endure , are well documented here.
With some of those stories being the great ones, that only a few could ever dream to experience.
But did you get your free breakfast? I can't take the tension!
I know 😳😟😩
hopefully 😰
Flying Taylor Swift’s stuff, cool
Excellent vlog as always, a nice insight to a life we rarely see a glipse of.
"Just glad I get to be part of that story" Im a sound engineer and I also feel like that with my job, not always seen, and hopefuly never noticed, but you're there making sure the fun gets to be had by everyone, and thats rewarding!
The only person I appreciate more than the sound engineer at a concert is the actual performer... You guys are unsung heroes....
I love videos like these SOOO much!! Really great video thanks, and can't wait till I'm a pilot like you, only a few years to go!
I guess we will never know who needed to be swiftly flown from Japan to Melbourne.
I bet someone tailors a scheme to find out.
Lol, you don’t need to be that swift to figure it out!
It was most likely Taylor Swift. Her Eras tour recently left Tokyo and is scheduled to perform in Melbourne.

Same here. ❤
9:40 Avalon airport is a regional airport “quite a way” outside of Melbourne. The main Melbourne airport - Tullamarine - is to the outskirts of suburbs to the north/northwest, whereas Avalon is about an 45-60 minute drive south west, and is much closer to the states second largest city, Geelong.
From a Melbourne based fan
That was very interesting to see what your working life can be like , thanks for sharing. Safe flying
"I have to go to Chicago" Ha, I feel the same way and I live here!!
Humble....u have no idea how much people appreciate that. Keep being you man. Great job.
Love the editing on this. Whoever is your editor did an awesome job with this, music, shots - it's great!
That was a super soothing and really enjoyable video. Still lots of quality content within a chill vibe. Learned a lot and like seeing Kelsey seeming to be in his zone and generally relaxed/happy.
As an Aussie welcome to Avalon 🇦🇺 & hope that you come back down under for the next Air Show there for a meet & greet
Was that Avalon? Thanks, I wasn't sure. I drove taxis for years and am very familiar with Melbourne Airport and Essendon Airport but I've never been to Avalon. I was trying to work out where he landed. I was working in Collingwood the weekend of the concert and we could hear the crowd. I wish I had known Kelsey was in our city, so much more exciting to me than a pop star!
@@janehalper2388 The TAF was showing YMAV so I'd say yes
7:08 ❤ it’s a beautiful job, like a real honest labor with care and respect for your colleagues and huge responsibility
Loved that entire video and trip! Thank you!
@4:57 THAT IS SO TYPICAL! As pilots we are just so used to rushing and getting things done, just to wait some more... That anticipatory stress is so recognizable. That on top of the: "Oh I have 5 more hours"... "I Have 4 more hours"... "I have 3 more hours"... The better the sleep in the bunks!
I can understand why you guys burn out. But I'd rather have you flying my plane than anyone else. Pilots have the toughest job in air. Thank you for making these videos!
Not if you ask him. See previous video.
This was fun! Thanks for the video! For those of us who fly vicariously through you, it's always a delight, even to see the challenges as things evolve.
Very interesting, and thank you for putting this all together. I always wanted to be a 74 pilot, and while it's too late in my years to do so now, I still get to have a peek at that life vicariously through you.
Airport hacks like that elevator are the best. I used to travel out of MCO once a week for work before covid. Tourists hated that airport. But I could get from terminal top parking to my gate in 15 minutes most days. Was great.
When I was in Narita several years ago, there was a place where you could get a shower for $10, in a really nice and clean bathroom suite. They had little nap rooms, too, for about $25 if I remember correctly. Both great amenities for a layover between a 14-hour flight and a 7-hour flight.
In Wisconsin, it doesn't get cold until -10. 40 is spring weather. 60 is the start of summer. 75 is swimming temp. 80 is hot. 90 is damn hot. 100 is too damn hot!
100 is too damn hot everywhere! But where I live it sometimes goes up to 115:)
I didn't think cold got started until -20. At least it seemed that way when I lived up north. I did learn how to survive there though.
@@AlizarinCrimsonClovisno i withstand 120+ heat in vegas here with barely any sweat, but i was born in florida so maybe im just permanent fire resistant..
Great post. Good for you. I appreciate all you say and do. Keep it safe!
That was a great video you didn’t repeat everything 3 or 4 times. We are smart enough to understand the first time and a lot of us are pilots, even those who are not can understand as you are doing a good job of explaining it. This was refreshing. Thank you.
You are part of the story! No big event goes off without so SO many people doing their job, their part. You’re not on the “credits” but without you doing your job, no way that concert happens. Same as the roadies, lumpers, and ramp crews! Your bird doesn’t fly without the dueler, the ground marshals, the tug operator. You know that. They’re all part of the story, whether they know it or not, whether they get credit or not. Even down to the people that built the gear you’re flying to AU.
Your production quality has moved to the next level
Absolutely agree!
Similar to when I’m on call, I end up just sitting around binge watching more series. It’s about all you can do without going anywhere.
Congats on the step up in Rank. Good to see you helping the new first officer get his landing.
Awesome to see you in the left hand seat captain! If you are ever in EHAM, and can make a detour to EHLE, consider visiting our aviation museum, we'd live to have you there, and you were part of my aviation journey which led me to become a sim instructor at the museum! So thank you!
Thanks for the story about being a part of the team that made the concert happen. Its too easy to fight your way through the day and feel bad about it. It helps to be reminded sometimes to take a minute and appreciate that your work makes things happen in the world.
I worked one of the stops on Taylor’s US tour. It’s so fun to see who all ends up involved in the industry.
I wish more people at the top / front would recognize, acknowledge and respect the importance of all the different parts of the teams that make things happen, in everyday life and for special events.
It's amusing to see the "every-day" monotony of flying, even thought it sounds exotic on the surface for the layman. It's the same thing truck drivers go through, especially changing from season to season and talking about cross-country locations as if they were only just across town. But, what's really cool is that you still think about those occasions when you're involved in something different, Kelsey, and appreciate the future stories you'll have for whomever. I was too old and behind the age curve to do anything commercially with my flying but had fun on the ga side of things. Thanks for continuing to take us along on these journeys, even though the rest schedule is far from ideal.
6:01 awesome transition
It took me by surprise! Felt like an Edgar Right cut 😁
yeah that was cool as hell I had to go back and watch it a few times just to make sure lol
Thank you for taking the time to Share your story Kelsey. Very cool.
Cool to hear you flew down to my home city, I’ve been watching you since the beginning.
After watching you over the years I always worry about you when I hear about issues with the large planes. So Happy to see you are safe!
Beautiful video all around! So well produced. The scenery, flower shots, cuts, and content of course. You've always got my click, Captain!
Thanks for the videos, fly Safe and “keep the blue side up”!👍🏽🇺🇸
Congratulations on the Upgrade!
I love your reaction videos, but love these even more. Thanks for sharing.
What an inspiration, Capt! No ego, no vanity: my copilot needs a landing to maintain currency, and we're a go so long as the weather holds and we can do it safely!
Welcome to standby, Kelsey! I sat on standby for AA for a year! You described my life! It's what happens when you are a junior on the list.
@Kelsey, this was actually my favorite video of yours. Lively, and forward energy, very little repetition. Thanks!
very cool. flew in the crew rest rooms a few times when my dad was still working for an airline. Unfortunatly i dont have that option anymore, but the memories remain.
One day I hope my dad gets to meet you and take a picture with you for me he flies all the time because he's a first responder and they deploy him a lot of different places and man did you guys just miss each other at airports this year I couldn't believe it. You're like my Gordon Ramsay of the air. ❤ I love your journey Kelsey. Nothing weird 🤣 just spreading positivity.
Amazing editing on this video, Kelsey. It played a bit like a documentary especially at the end. Loved it! Great video!
