    The thing I really like about Kelsey's videos is how he takes us through the whole lifestyle of being a commercial pilot. Not just the technical details of how and when to rotate, gears up, flaps, etc, etc, but also the nagging little day to day things that are not at all glamorous, but that professional air crews constantly have to deal with. Gives me a lot of appreciation for these folks who we trust with our lives.

      @@NikolaiUA Well, to be fair he does do occasional analysis of various aircraft incidents and accidents, in which he (naturally) explains these details. I agree that those are not his usual video format, but still, he does provide some of this. Regardless, I think we would both agree that those are not really typical for his channel, and most of the time he is relating his personal experiences. And that angle keeps me interested.

      @@usaturnuranus I agree! I absolutely love Kelsey's vlogs. I also love all the personal anecdotes he shares in his analyses videos. It's so fascinating to get a peek into the day-to-day life of commercial pilot. I fly several times a year as a passenger. With the locked cockpit doors and all that, it's easy to forget that there are actual humans up in front, controlling the plane. Also, Kelsey knows that his audience is the general public, and I'm glad he doesn't get too deep into the technical details. The average person, myself included, would have trouble understanding that stuff.

    When I was in my mid 20s I worked for a hotel that shuttled flight attendants and pilots to and from our hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I drove the big van and in the 5 so yrs I worked there I met some really cool ppl. I put my back out for 2 weeks from a flight attendants bag being so heavy lol. I've taken pilots laundry home and washed and brought back because he desperately needed that outfit for the next day I lived 3 miles from work. 20 yrs later I still remember how thankful he was . They never make messes in the room to the point we had to mark our sheets to make sure our housekeepers were not just making the bed not changing their sheets.

      Even if I have nothing happening, I can only sleep 3-4 hours at a time, 5-6 absolute tops, and that's only after not sleeping for 48 hours and climbing 14ers all week...
      I have cut my caffeine intake down to only 4-6 ounces of coffee per day, attempting to eliminate it entirely. It seems to be helping: I have also found a ton of research showing how any amount of caffeine consumed regularly 'accumulates' (the body gets used to it- I forget the term they used) and has detrimental effects on long term sleep... their hypothesis is this is why elderly people have a hard time sleeping, because of all the coffee they drank in their 20's and 30's... Not sure if I believe all that, but I am on a mission to eliminate caffeine!
      Honestly, the only other thing I have tried that has helped with sleep has been my recent adventure into the Carnivore diet... all animal based diet. still only 5-6 hrs, but that sure beats the 1-2 hours of sleep I was getting when I was a vegetarian and the 3-4 on a "regular" healthier than most american's diet. (I have literally been trying, and will continue to try EVERYTHING that might help- legally that is)... My hope is to figure this out- perhaps use this to help people (pilots mainly) find better ways of battling fatigue and lack of sleep, than what the currently literature holds.

And, I flew armed on a few international flights (when flying to countries that allowed us to carry firearms). The pros, was getting to walk to the head of the security lines and getting to board before everyone else so you could introduce yourself to the captain and crew. The con was, you couldn't drink alcohol before flying or on the flight. And, if there was a problem passenger, you would sometimes be asked to deal with it (my partner had to handcuff and sit on an out of control drunk half a flight one time).

I remember one trip where I sat next to a woman and it was going to be a 3 hour flight. I am in my 40's and she was in her 20's for context. I never made an advancement to this young lady. I simple asked "Since we are both heading to the same destination, do you know where the hot spots are in the area where young people like yourself enjoy the nightlife?" I was asking because I took the trip feeling old and unwanted at turning 40 and though checking on the young party scene could be fun. I was told to my face "Eww. Stop talking to me to you old creep". I didn't say another word for the next 2 hours and even 3 years later I remember the words and how it felt. All I'm saying is be kind to each other. Words hurt,

People often start talking about the weather or something else inconsequential. Be relaxed and friendly. Sometimes it's best not to even look at a person at the first part of the conversation.

      I do the same thing but in different circumstances. Also, if u keep yr head down and walk fairly fast and look kind of bored like u do it every day u can get in and go thru a surprising number of places.

      @@maryeckel9682 LOL could almost see the gears in his head turning.. (He looks to be a pilot, umm if I say no and it is ok how much trouble will I be in... What the heck, he looks like the aircrew...) "It's okay"

    This was a GREAT video! Loved it seeing a slightly different aspect of your life as a pilot! Thank you.

    It's fun to see behind the scenes. I've sat by pilots on flights a few times and it is interesting to hear their take on flying.

    Flew last feb. from Amsterdam to Salvador de Bahia via Sao Paulo. Had a 6hr stop at Sao Paulo. After long circling around Sao Paulo due to bad weather the flight got de-routed to Rio de Janeiro. Plane got its kerosine there and later on our way to Sao Paulo. The 6hr stopover turned down to a 45 minute stopover and had to go through costums there and check-in and run to the other end of the airport. Made the connecting flight just in time. At least better than the way back via Rio de Janeiro with their agressive scamming shoe shiners outside the terminal. But this airport had a very good (crowded) lounge. Still Brazil (Bahia experience only) is one of the most beautiful places i have visited. Love your videos Kelsey.

    We had a minor delay on a Ryanair flight recently. A child wanted to sit in his mother's lap during takeoff but told by crew the child must be secured in their own seat. Mother argued and insulted the FA, captain gave her a chance to apologise, which she refused, so back to the gate where she, her child, and her mother all had to leave. Manners aside, why would you want your child loose during the riskiest stage of the flight? Also, I've been embarrassingly slow picking up Portuguese but my Brazilian friends have a chuckle over me saying "obrigado" all the time; it doesn't mattter where I am though, people should always be acknowledged when they do something for you. Not nice being taken for granted, is it?

    I always love the vlogs - thanks for this! As a moderately frequent flyer (maybe 30-40 flights a year) who also deals with a lot of early starts and random hotels, it's really great to see the pilot perspective! I always wish I could go through the crew lines 🙂

    Great video! I don't get to fly long haul often, but this reminded me of one of the best flights I've had which was Chicago to Sao Paulo on a United 777 in business.
    It also reminded me of the preceding flight I took that day from Pittsburgh to O'Hare... the only time I've encountered a let's say "aggressive" flight attendant. I was in an exit row window seat focused on plane spotting and the flight attendant gave the "are you willing and able to assist" speech while we were still boarding, the plane was noisy, and I completely missed it. Next thing I knew she was pulling me into the aisle to be reseated and I had no idea why. I figured out what happened and she wasn't interested in anything I said until I pointed out that it was her job to get everyone's attention before giving that statement. She then let me go, gave the statement again, I said "Yes" and got to sit back in my window exit row seat.

    My husband was a taildragger pilot. He went to California and took a course in aerobatics. The first thing he said he was taught was how to recover from a spin because that’s what every maneuver will become if it goes wrong. The only time I’d ever see him nervous was sometimes when we were on a commercial flight. I asked him why and he said it was because he wasn’t in control. 😊
