Sometimes I almost feel like the inverse is true, considering how many people got rich due to their complete lack of social intelligence, common sense and basic understanding of the law...
Wealth is a GREAT insulator from the effects of stupidity or lack of common sense. They can just spend their way out of their dumbass decisions and make it someone else's problem. But most REAL wealthy people were born with the $ chromosome or get lucky with stupid ideas and bad decisions. A few REALLY earn it through hard work, but at least half of them would be eligible for a lifetime membership at Club Fed if we actually knew how they got there. But i'm not saying they're dumber than the consumers and fetuses who fall for their scams either.
Plane crash survivor here. I'm incredibly grateful I put my head down. Not only did it contribute to the "survivor" part of being a plane crash survivor, but it also helped shield my 15-month-old daughter during impact. She was traveling in my lap. She, too survived. Listen to your pilot and crew.
I'm no plane crash survivor, but I was in a car crash once, where I was in the backseat with no seat belt on. I knew we were going to crash and did the "brace for impact" thing instinctually... I'm pretty sure it saved me from being much was off, instead of my body crashing into the seat inferno of me it just pushed up against it
Exactly! That experiment really eased my mind about flying…or rather about an unexpected lack of flying… The truth is that planes very, very rarely "crash." They might have hard landings or lose some landing gear, but it’s so totally unlikely that you’ll be on a plane that actually crashes. And if your plane does lose its wings or encounters an unexpected object like a mountain, the likelihood of survival is very low no matter how you brace.
@@DaveTexasvery true, people don’t understand how uncommon a plane crash is. Sure we hear about what seems like quite a few crashes each year, but there are thousands of flights per day, millions per year. The chance of you being in a plane crash is significantly lower than you getting into an accident on your way to work
is not hard to think a little bit to understand that airliners spend a whole lot money to find the safest mesures. If they say something, don't argue, just listen and follow their direction. That's their job. What happens when you discuss with someone expert on their field and that you have no idea what you are talking about? 100% you'll put yourself in a very bad situation. Just listen
Not to mention, if that position was designed to kill you, that could be proved and if it was proved, that would be multiple lawsuits FAR, FAR bigger than anything we have seen. Multiple airlines would be sued into oblivion and multiple people responsible for those policies would go to jail. The airlines would be risking far more with a position designed to kill you.
in the US in the modern day this kind of isn't true. These things are factored in to cost assessments and most likely the airlines would face a penalty that is less than the money they saved from doing the thing, and nobody in any position of real power would spend a day in jail. However, the fact that it hasn't actually been claimed by anyone of any repute (not just government/media-anointed "experts", but really ANYONE with a reputation in biology or crash investigation) let alone proven in the decades of commercial air travel and that it just popped up as some dumbass aspect of the US political culture war a few years ago really tells me all I need to know about it's veracity.
@Person01234 I actually remember this theory from Mythbusters. They tested different positions and found the crash position is the safest for you by far. About the only truth to the myth was that a wrongful death suit is cheaper than the cost of a crash injury.
This isn't true if anyone can reasonably prove that this is the worst advice or really bad advice that person or entity would make an insane amount of money@@Person01234
Yes, it would be criminal and hundreds if not thousands would go to jail. It’s situations like this where I wonder if platforms like TH-cam do us a disservice by amplifying the voices of extremely uneducated people.
Seeing that you are now a captain really caught me off guard! I even looked back at your other videos to make sure I didn’t miss any info on that. What a great surprise! Congratulations Captain!
well she is techically right XD They are random people, since every airport has a different one and no chance the pilots knows them all. They are indeed random "well trained professionals" maintenance guys.
@@NickCarter1974 I mean technically yes but we all know that her choice of words sends a specific message. She wouldn't call a pilot a "random flying guy". Just say technician or engineer or whatever if you're not sure of the exact job title.
A long time ago, my husband was on a flight and the captain refused to take off. It was a small plane, so he came into the cabin and apologized for the delay. He said it was going to be a while because of the paperwork, that it was something easy enough to fix, but he will not fly until it will be taken care of. Safe to say passengers (my husband included) where happy to wait. So, yes, if the captain feels that is not safe, they just don't fly. BTW, congrats on your promotion.
Light aircraft twin prop qualified pilot here I hear you never decided not to fly but have rejected a take off before V1 twice, both times was gut instinct ,out of both of those times one saved me and a few other people. The first turned out the failure was like an engine light in a car , thats fine to still keep driving in an aircraft their is no tolerance nor second guessing .
It is actually a culture that the aviation industry has worked hard at to deliberately create. In the bad old days, pilots might have felt pressured to fly anyway. These days, pilots are empowered to say no without any pushback from their employer.
I once flew from Dulles International to Harrisonberg, VA in a small twin prop plane. There were thunderstorms in the area and the captain came into the waiting area to tell us he didn’t want take off until the weather cleared. My fellow passengers were all griping but I thanked the captain for his care.
Influencers are the main danger in the modern world wherever you look, I'm a mountaineer and they're single handedly putting many lives at risk encouraging people to take on routes beyond their skillset, it's very worrying how big an influence they can be and how many people listen to them. I'm also an auditor and we always joke about the aeronautics industry having some of the most extreme and vigorous systems in place for constant and continued safety checking of gear and equipment, because they do!
@markjones127 beyond their skills etc, unfortunately their name gives them away to the intelligent.. if you can be influenced by morons who don't leave their ai houses then you may already be in trouble..after it's stupid that gets the attention...just take a look at pilot debrief who nails it when he says, " some people just aren't meant to fly!"
Congratulations Captain Kelsey Hughes on your first video with the 4th stripe. You did not say it, but we sure noticed it between this and last week. Well deserved. You teach, inspire and share your love of flying in a really down to earth manner. Blue side and thumbs up!
Mainntenance here: The oxygen masks and "PSU" (passenger service units) get looked over every C-check. The masks get their oxygen from "oxygen generators" or "candles" that get activated when you give a strong jerk to the strings that deploy with the masks. Typical arrangement is 3 masks (seats) per candle. The candles have a shelf life. They get recycled or otherwise disposed regularly.
@@jorgecalero6325she does sex flights. Private sex flights. She’s an OF flight attendant on private planes and I wish I didn’t know this. I think she invented this industry.
@@jorgecalero6325 can't really "everything" because they just had the plane have it's door blown off after having "broken" depressurization alarm signed off for 3 flights.
Oh my.... I thought something was off on the uniform but I wasn't paying enough attention until now. You're absolutely right! Kelsey is a captain now!! :) CONGRATZ Kelsey!!!!
I know he won't see this but his facial expression at 6:45 is all the explanation I need: "who even knows how good that oxygen is in that tank." *eyeroll*
Congrats on the fourth stripe sir! So well deserved, your channel is informative and factual. I started in aviation in 1973 and have seen it all come and go. At last there is someone putting the record straight.... Thanks 🤝
You made captain! Congratulations Kelsey! As for these "Influencers", They play on peoples fears to make money. It amazes me that people believe them, but they do... Keep up the great videos Capt Kelsey!
30 years of commercially flying here: I had a crew unintentionally forgetting to disarm a slide on arrival and the slide fired. For the return flight, as there was no replacement slide at that airport, we had to reduce the amount of passengers by 50! That was an Airbus 320. So, the requirement to be able to get your passengers out within 90 seconds with half of the emergency exits (if memory serves me right) was still given. It is all in the minimum equipment list, which is approved by the authorities. Let me conclude by saying there is no industrie in the world that has learned more from its accidents than airlines!
After a particularly "rough landing" where we were told to "brace" with a very hard landing followed by hard braking, I witnessed the overhead bin pop open with a carry-on bag flying forward and slamming someone in the back of the head of another person who didn't "brace" splitting him open, profusely bleeding. Keep your heads down people. We all walked off, but scary as hell.
It surprises me how folks who are casual observers will tell people to ignore safety advice given by trained staff, I don't bother to challenge them, but try to make sure others realise that H&S advice will normally be best advice!
After. a few close calls, and a background of adventurous sports, i've always been safety first. That actually led to my only crash, when I hired an instructor on a murky day, he got lost, instead of admitting this, ( I could have got us out ) He flew me in to a mountain, the undercarriage was removed by a cliff and we sat on a ledge!
"influencers" are the worst byproduct of this narcissistic society that we inhabit and that term is something that should've never been a part of our lexicon. Thank goodness you are the voice of reason. Keep up the great work.
@@VKZ24nothing new man the Roman’s had shit dips like this too. Right on towards their demise. It’s about that time eh… for a uh reset. Except this isn’t the movies and anarchy cannot be controlled chaos envelopes all around it.
@@VKZ24the Roman’s had people like this too this is nothing new man. These influencers influenced Rome right on towards their demise. It’s about that time eh…. For a rest don’t you say. Expect this isn’t the movies and anarchy cannot be controlled. Chaos envelopes everything around it.
The fact that influencers get rewarded insane amounts of money for essentially being clowns is absurd. Think of all the hours, pain, sweat and tears people put in day in day out to change the world and get paid peanuts, this is the true failure of society. Anyone with a degree or professional qualification, who contributes to society in any positive and impactful way should be on a better wage than a dumbass influencer, who is offering very little to society.
Oh, I just noticed that you have your fourth stripe! Congratulations! Of course I only know you through your channel, but you come across as a very competent and professional pilot. I’m sure you’ll have a long and successful career in aviation.
I was on a plane where the flaps failed. I learned that same day what flaps are for. If we didn’t listen to the flight crew, I believe that there would be a few injuries on the flight. Especially spinal injuries. Our necks are not created to bounce back and forth and side to side with extreme force. The flight attendants also told us to raise our seatbelt as high as possible and buckle up tight. Had anyone not done that, it too would have caused an injury of some sort. The landing that day was extremely hard and fast and my waist had a few bruises from the seatbelt but the pilots did an amazing job with landing safely and keeping the people calm. They acted as if it was a simple problem, they deal with every day. I don’t know how serious it really was because the crew were so calm and knowledgeable.
As a retired airline pilot myself I'm in full agreement with you. The 💩 they think we're up to in all the conspiracy theories are ridiculous and past annoying.
as a random Internet person.. yea same lol. damn these influencers are dumb. do they manage to put their socks on correctly in the morning? wait.. don't answer that...
I just noticed you have four stripes now. Congratulations for your promotion! My niece was also just promoted to captain, and she’s the 4th female captain in the airline. A pride in our family.
Congratulations Captain Kelsey! Thank you for defending truth in the face of such relentless stupidity. These awful people profit by harming society and there seems no way to stop it.
the plane fire in Haneda Japan shows us that you can evacuate 380 people with one broken slide. Everything could be in perfect condition and still have defect parts during an emergency but what's more important is having a crew that stays calm and clearheaded in those situations
Having seen a flight attendant freak out when a flight I was on had to go back to the airport after takeoff because a light indicated that a baggage door might be open, I sure agree. I wasn't too anxious until she answered a passenger's little joke with "No! No this doesn't happen all the time!" in a shaky voice. You don't want to see an F/A seem scared! That passenger looked at me from across the aisle, and we shared looks of "UH OH." We were ok, but I hope she found a different career. There was a pile of luggage on the apron where it meets the taxiway, btw.
Former flight attendant here. In the beginning of my career if I got pushback I would try to politely, patiently, succinctly explain policies and procedures---we weren't there to order people around or make things difficult (yes, I know, *some* f/a's aren't nice)---it's about *safety.* People appreciated the explanation and usually complied without much fuss. As time went on, people no longer listened, gave a bunch of attitude and did whatever the heck they wanted anyway. Eventually, it was hard to care anymore. It seemed to me people just wanted to complain/be miserable. I know flying isn't particularly pleasant (*lots* of reasons for that) but still I wish people appreciated the miracle of flight and had some idea what it takes to operate a single flight. It takes the coordination of many people doing various difficult and often complicated jobs, working under various conditions and time constraints, to make even one flight happen. Multiply that by hundreds of flights a day. It's not like getting on a Greyhound bus. I left flying for various reasons and I do miss a lot of things about the job, but I don't miss the crazies and as the pilot here says those lacking "all common sense." (I can't believe some of the behavior I see on TH-cam.) I do want to add that *most* people were not a problem, and I met some truly fabulous folks (it's just that the nasty ones kinda stick with ya). In the military the air crew greet their passengers with "Sit down, shut the fuck up and don't touch nothin'."😂
Congratulation, Kelsey, on your promotion. If the content of your TH-cam channel is any indication of your dedication to the aviation industry, you certainly earned that promotion. Again, congratulations.
If the content of his TH-cam channel is any indication of his dedication to the aviation industry, he has fake log books and cheats on every exam LOL what a clickbait punk LOL
Congratulations on becoming captain Kelsey! Well deserved, I have no doubts about that! And thank you for trying to combat the lies of those influencers.
As an actual aviation maintenance tech, that second tiktok really made me angry. What a huge pack of lies. We check EVERYTHING on that plane at set intervals determined by the FAA and each manufacturer/buyer (airline/cargo company/etc). The emergency oxygen system has expiration dates, as does every piece of emergency equipment. Maintenance swaps them out for new if one expires. Yes. We keep track. And deferrals are only allowed for certain items, and many have restrictions set in, which are all determined for safety reasons. These "influencers" really annoy me how dangerous their misinformation can be.
Think she’s watched too many episodes of Aircrash Investigation. Everyone’s an expert these days. There’s no way a LAME would sign off on a defect and let an aircraft fly. Well not in my country or yours either. Social media can be very dangerous. Keep up your good work of making the skies safer
ValuJet Flight 592 even had a fire caused by expired oxygen generators in their cargo bay in 1996 so I believe now there are restrictions on transporting those. So expiries of those have existed at least that long.
@@KH-rc7tl well, those, who watched Aircrash investigations, know that crashes almost never happened for the same reason because, almost, after every crash there are changes to procedures, or even aircraft design aimed at preventing that particular scenario from happening again. Unless it is Boeing with friends in the FAA...
You mean if you give an 18 year old millions of dollars and make him famous he’s going to say the same stupid things 18 year olds say only instead to the entire world?!
The flight attendant “Sierra Mist” was fired years ago for her inappropriate social media. I would take anything she says with a grain of salt. She is a popular topic on flight attendant discussion boards
Wasn’t she the til tok airline attendant lady that also had a of. I remember one on tic tok talking about all the attendants and pilots she’s screwed. Incredibly trashy tbh
Yeah. She has/had an only fans. She would hint at it in stories she would tell about being inappropriate with CO workers. Saying to go to that page to get the whole story. No wonder she had so many followers 🙄
Yes just like the previous comment not to confuse money with brains we should not confuse ex flight attendants seeking publicity with being honest and truthful. Sadly sensationalism is what she's selling and that's a long way from the truth
I am a day late and 3/4 way through, looked over at vid (was just listening) and saw that! Grats indeed. Has he made any vlog talking about how one gets the next stripe or did I miss it?
So awesome to see that extra bar on yoir shoulders CAPTAIN !!!! That is so amazing man, I hope we get a video about you getting such a great promotion!!!
Congratulations Captain Hughes ! I am delighted for you , long overdue ! I'm a private pilot with no ambitions of joining the airlines . That was actually my dream when I was a kid but ended up going to med school instead. Again, congratulations Captain .
Congratulations on making Captain, I know that had to be such a great feeling. I absolutely love your videos and it's because of you that I have much less fear of flying. I trust you more that social media "influences" because unlike them, you actually know what you're talking about. You've worked hard to build your career, now you're taking the knowledge you've gained and putting it to great use educating people about flying. Thank you for doing these amazing videos that are both educational and fun to watch. I've always had a love for aviation and now I'm much less fearful of flying after getting the right information from someone who knows what they're talking about. Thank you again for all you do and keep making these amazing videos!!!!!
Thiiiiis is your captain speaking! ….Welcome aboard thiiiiis cargo flight. We will ,,,,shortly be on our way, please pay full attention to the cargo safety briefing …. Sorry Kelsey😂 well done, I’m a huge fan! 👍👍👍
I agree. It's important that we all try to improve the critical thinking skills of citizens, but we can't rely on that, so it's critical that examples of widespread nonsense are able to face consequences that exceed the benefit 'from the views'
Hey there, I’m an Avionics Tech that works on B737-800NG’s and the only thing I would change about this video is the use of the word “broken” and instead I would say “inoperative” Happy & SAFE flying dude 😎
Congratulations *CAPTAIN* Kelsey! You say nothing about it, because you are modest as ever, a bright light of intelligence, common sense and font of information in this vast internet landscape. All the best to you sir 👏👍✈️
Congrats on the promotion, CAPT Kelsey! Well done! and I have no doubt that you can handle the extra weight of that 4th bar! Apparently, these people get off on making people fear flying. Thanks for the REAL education from an aircraft maintainer.
Mythbusters tested this on S3/E13. They did find that commercial aviation related life insurance payouts tend to be cheaper than life long disability payouts. Despite this, they also found that the brace position where you lean forward with your arms on the seat in front of you tends to be much more safe than not bracing.
@@nicolasadams835yeah this is a very good point too. If an accident happens and the media even slightly thinks that the deaths may have to do with the brace position the airlane stock is gonna hit the ground faster than the crashed plane
@@nicolasadams835 Conspiracy much? The fact is the brace position is safer. WTF would you need to factor in stock prices? That's just a stupid comment.
Hypoxia is seriously scary. It’s like being drunk but you have no reason to realize you’re drunk because you didn’t have anything. Then your brain just loses all sense of danger and you just let yourself die even if you could easily save yourself.
Let me just say, I am SOOO bloody tired of stupid people becoming famous, instead of be pointed at and laughed off the platform. Thanks for setting that stupidity straight, Kelsey.
We used to gatekeep publishing. We lost out on a LOT of great publication that just never made it past the gatekeepers even though they were worthy (maybe even more worthy than most published material). BUT we also gatekept 99% of the idiots out too. Hindsight is showing us that was probably better. Can't really go back now though.
Stupid people get famous because they have lots of stupid followers, very sadly, in millions. The people who laugh at them are miniscule, just like us. Gen Z could have had so much potential, but it will just go wasted in making Tik Toks and Instagram "content".
I called bullshit on that “flight attendant’s” videos as soon as she started to pop up. She’s clearly doing it for views. Some of the things she’s said are incredibly unprofessional. She still amassed millions of followers somehow. What I’ve learned is the world is majority-full of idiots, and they all stick together.
She also talks about how she gets drunk, or hooks up with the pilot during flights. I think she was a flights attendant at one point but either quit or was fired. There's no way she's actively working as flight attendant saying the things she does.
@@OliviaandtrinaCorrect. She was sorta correct with the crash pads though and the crew members hooking up. That happens more with the really younger crew members and the regional airlines. I saw some of that years ago when I was younger, BUT you have to go looking for it. Certain crash pads were known for that. She was looking for it probably
Congratulations on becoming a captain!!! I´m currently going through my private pilot training and want to become an airline pilot too. Your content has really inspired me to follow on! Thanks for the difference you make!! You surely deserve that 4th stripe
My uncle survived the East Midlands BMA crash because he followed the instructions of professionally trained crew. Safety on aircraft is so advanced these days that most people survive the crash; it's what they do after that kills them. I'm. a frequent flyer but I ALWAYS follow the safety instructions/video. Muscle memory plays a part too; many people can't get out of their seats because they are busy pressing the seat belt release; it's lift and separate. When you are stressed, you won't necessarily figure that out. Thank you for keeping us protected from influencers.
I damn near lose what little faith I have left in humanity when I think about how many ignorant buffoons pay attention to “influencers”. No one should pay attention to them. They should be ignored.
Most of the people who pay attention to them are kids and teens. People who can't and don't know any better. Adults do it too but this is a kid thing mainly
Isn't this literally a video from an influencer pilot tho? I feel like its just like everything else, bad influencers should be ignored, but channels like 74 Gear and Blancolirio are incredible for education, but they are still influencers
Avionics technician here. I'm responsible for the electrical, computer and communication systems on planes. Not sure what part of 14 CFR governs the oxygen mask deployment on airliners but: Every plane has an interval at which certain inspections are *required* to be performed. That's what the alphabetical checks are. C check is every 2 years or so, A check is every 400-600 flight hours, etc. At regular intervals the oxygen mask deployment system gets tested. We make sure they manually deploy via the control in the cockpit and also automatically by connecting a pneumatic test set to the planes pitot/static sensors to simulate a certain altitude at which the masks are observed to deploy or not deploy. Where I work it's mandatory that our quality control inspector is present when this test is performed because it's safety critical. If they don't deploy the problem is either fixed or the jet isn't allowed to leave until it's corrected. We also verify oxygen flow rate and that the masks themselves aren't broken. Like little plastic pieces and what not. Wall of text I know. Point being, she is completely wrong. Just about any and everything you can imagine and more is regularly inspected/tested for proper working condition. ESPECIALLY anything to do with flight safety or emergency systems.
My kids were scared on a flight we were on because it had a little bit of turbulence. I told them that the pilots have just as much interest in living as you do so they'll fly the plane safely.
As an adult who is still made a little uncomfortable by turbulence my favorite self soothe is to remind myself that turbulence is just like bumps in the road, that may help too if you fly again soon :)
I always look at the cabin staff, if they are calm there is no reason for me to worry, they go through this every day on the job they know better than me
@@momain5483I was afraid to fly most of my life (it was totally irrational - so glad I’m over it) and used to tell myself the same thing re: turbulence. That’s exactly what it is, after all 😊
I am a FAA licensed Flight Dispatcher. For every aircraft operation's manual there is a list of items that can be broken or not working and the airplane is still allowed to fly. There is also a list of items that prevent the plane from being dispatched if they are broken or are not operable. It all has to do with the safe operation of the aircraft.
Same for school bus inspections at the beginning of the day. Some stuff downs the bus (brakes, school bus lights, etc) and some stuff maintenance can fix when you return from getting the kids to school (one headlight out, etc).
@@Mid-Michigan-Outdoors There is a Master Minimum Equipment List for the aircraft type. The airline can create a MEL based off this Master list that is more restrictive, and this depends on the type of operation and routes they fly.
A sign of our times, people talking out of their butts, or intentionally spreading misinformation for clout. Thanks for making videos like this, and being always so professional! I´m a biologist, so here are my two cents: the spine is a collection of vertebrae, anyone that has suffered even a hard fall or has been hit by a car knows that your spine compresses, vertebrae can be smashed together or be fractured, and your spinal cord can be pinched or even severed. In the scenario Matt talks so confidently incorrectly about, your cervical vertebrae could be compressed against the base of your skull (which is very very hard in comparison) if you have braced yourself and kept your head down. You'll probably have some neck issues, but it beats the alternative of smashing your face against the seat before you and eating your own teeth... really, these people need to be held accountable.
Rule of thumb: don’t listen to someone who hasn’t extensively studied or experienced a subject matter, or wouldn’t stand in front of their bosses or customers and say the same thing. Instant gratification through social media has replaced common sense for so many… those talking and those listening.
Even someone paid to train me doesn't mean they are competent. One can usually tell when specific questions get s asked - A competent person generally is happy to answer - share their knowledge. The concept of influencer is something that goes over my head. Some un-vetted person blabbing for views is not a reliable source.
But the pilots and flight attendants haven't studied the subject matter of crash survival. They're just telling you what they're required to tell you. People like to watch channels like this and think being a pilot qualifies what is being said, but they're often talking about things that have nothing to do with the pilot. I'm not saying they don't know what they're talking about but being a pilot doesn't mean they would know. Lots of instructors I've had can tell you what they learned, but have no clue if something is true or not, but will argue with people who've actually tried things and found the explanation to be wrong. A lot know what airspeed to fly on approach and the correct attitude and it works. But they wouldn't be able to work out how to do things differently. They just do what they were taught and nothing else. Be careful thinking pilots are experts, especially be suspicious of those that act as if they are.
In forty four years of rescue work, I have only ever seen a spine driven into a skull once. That person had jumped from the 22nd floor of a tower block and landed feet first, they collapsed and the impact on his pelvis and coccyx drove the spine up. The damage was severe but not immediately fatal, he was making noises and tried to get help. The person who called 999 was distraught and vomiting. He didn't make it and I was at his post mortem the following day. He took a few hours to finally die, which was a blessing as there wasn't much of him that had no damage. 42 years later I can still remember the whole thing clearly, including the smell as he drunk a bottle of whiskey just before he jumped.
A number of years ago The Food Babe had an article about how dangerous flying in a plane is because they pressurize the cabin and that puts pressure on your internal organs. I sent her a message letting her know that the "pressurized cabin" is at a pressure that is less than sea level. She never responded. LOL
She also said it’s better to sit in the front of the plane because there’s more oxygen as they pump it in from the front. Hard to tell if she’s more of a con artist or more stupid. She’s definitely both.
@@speedbird9313because pressure st sea level is 14.7 psi….and pressure in an airplane “at pressure” is 11 to 12 PSI. 🤦🏼♂️. 14.7-12= less than sea level.
I trust Captain Kelsey (Congratulations!) over some silly 'influencers' every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Hardest thing about watching this video is peeling my eyes off the roof of my head from rolling them so much...jeez. Keep calling 'em out, Captain! Keep the blue side up!❤❤
Not only does having the seat in the upright position give the person behind you more room to escape in an emergency (especially if it's a tall or obese person behind you), but it's also harder for you to get up in a reclined position during an emergency (especially in a compact space with seats on both sides), and much easier for you to inadvertently slide out of your seat on the force of impact when in a reclined position (rather than being restrained by the ninety-degree angle of the back of the seat and seatbelt in the upright position).
They should be loudly and publicly ridiculed and refuted, not by government choking out free speech. It would not end with stopping stupidity. Use free speech to do as this pilot here is doing, pointing out how wrong the misinformed are. It is not illegal to be wrong or to be a sphincter, and should not be, but it is not illegal to point out when someone is being wrong.
@@michaeljarvis5489its just that sometimes audience based scoring depends greatly on audience pool. Which i doubt is smart enough if they look at this kind of show. I think the responsibility should be on the creator to fact check everything.. theres another option like forming 3rd party audit but it most likely wont outpace content creation
Congrats Capt Left chair! Seriously, congratulations on your upgrade. I decided to go the private pilot route and considered commercial flying but my career was already set for Bio Medical Engineering. I loved what I do. Now retired but still flying.
Kelce, I feel like the fourth stripe on your uniform is new. If thats the case, HUGE congratulations 🎉🎉! You absolutely deserve it. Thank you ror being a great positive influence in aviation!
congrats on becoming a captain Kelsey!! shows that you're excelling at piloting while still excelling at making great videos here! keep up the good work 💜
Congrats on the upgrade. I'm an Emirates Captain and remember very clearly how great it felt when the check pilot handed me my new shoulder boards...one of the biggest days in any commercial pilot's life. Well done.
As a pilot I always find it hilarious that people think I would even be on that aircraft let alone take off if something wasn't safe. Luckily for the passengers, I value my life and by getting myself there safe....they get there safe also.
I was on a flight where the flap actuators were clearly stuck during pre-flight checks. The captain decided that she was not taking off with this problem, and I rather fear she got into a lot of trouble with the company for this decision, as it was one of the rock-bottom no-frills outfits.
@@KH-rc7tl Air Crash Investigation is a pretty good documentation series. They might get some stuff wrong but I've never heard any ridiculous theories like "don't put your head down" in there. There is actually pretty common sense information in there related to crashes and often if you pay attention you can get advice on what to do in survivable accidents.
Kelsey. Congratulations on your promotion to Captain. Hopefully I'm not the only one that noticed your 4th bar. Regarding this video. can't fix stupidity. Thanks
@@nodlimax yes I agree it’s a good series. I really just meant that people watch these type of shows and think they know the ins/outs of everything. I’ve worked 20+ years in aviation. Airlines and the regulator and that’s a new one on me !
Congratulations Captain! I hope with the promotion that you keep the channel going strong through the new year (recalling last year's New Years video). It wouldn't be a Sunday morning without you!
I had to laugh at Matt’s explanation of how airlines really want you to die in a crash so you can’t sue. Obviously you can’t but your family can sue for wrongful death. Congrats, Kelsey, on making Captain! I would feel very, very safe on any airplane you were flying.
Whoever she is, her airline should fire her immediately. Because if I saw her working on a plane, I woukd refuse to fly. She is a danger to her passengers with her lies.
It is easy as a novice or as a person with no experience in engineering or creating safety procedures to panic when you see something that seems weird to you but it doesn't mean the the experts didn't thought of that.
@badlaamaurukehu maybe you should take two seconds look into why they're doing that instead of doing exactly what these people in the video are doing.
In my mind “influencer” is practically a derogatory term for very extrovert but not particularly bright person, who use social media and cheap psychological trick of sensationalism - to make money on even less bright “followers”. Glad to see there are educational and informative channels (like this one) to challenge their bull***t.
I watched the 727 crash test full of cameras, avatars and shock patches. Some of the "people" were sitting up, some reclined and some in the crash position. Amazingly, most were better off in the crash positions so I guess influencers only try to sound like they know. Don't confuse them with facts...😅😅😅
Kelsey noticed that 4th stripe while you were talking. Congratulations Captain! Well done! Also thank you for putting these PSA's out there. For those other than us in the industry, people need to hear reality and feel safe to enjoy the best way to travel.
I literally noticed 5 minutes in lol. I think that it’s incredible that you have achieved that milestone! I think it’s even more incredible that you didn’t “have” to say anything about it. I admire that.
I've never been on a plane & I know more than her about aviation just from watching Mentour Pilot. They have redundancies for EVERYTHING - even redundancies have redundancies. I actually facepalmed when she said "12 minutes of oxygen," even I know it doesn't take 12 mins for an emergency descent to a breathable level. The on-screen explanation of the O2 tanks was fascinating, so simple yet so clever.
Apparently this guy didn't watch Mythbusters growing up. Back in the day they tested different landing positions and did indeed find that these different positions that they tell people to use were effective in reducing injuries. I'm basically thinking they need to make the whole series available on TH-cam, like they made the episode that tested how to reduce spreading the flu during the pandemic.
Saying “this guy” is confusing to readers like the first commenter. This guy would generally be thought to refer to the main person who is creating this reaction and educational video (pilot).
@@k.w.1459exactly. I agree. I think they meant Matt and that show, but I can’t be sure. By using ‘this’ versus ‘that’ he’s also insinuating a closer proximity to us, ie. the pilot on this channel.
"Made my fear of flying even worse" so she had a pre-existing fear of flying, then woke up one morning and thought "I'm going to become a flight attendant!".
I know the thought process that goes into this: If you face your fears long enough you will eventually become desensitized to it. Truth be told i’m a student pilot and I was deathly afraid of heights but i got used to it and love flying now
Right? When she said she's a flight attendant, I was wondering if she meant in a game. Then I wondered if she has followers who actually believe the garbage she's spewing. They get on a plane with that ignorance and they'll be put off quicker than they can say fake flight attendant.
Congrats Kelsey on your 4 bars! I enjoy your channel a lot, and have been subscribed for some time. I am also a retired airlines professional and value how you have created such a fun and accessible channel to discuss and share lot of interesting topics for everyone. On the contrary I was more upset with the "flight attendant" than those wealthy youtubers, as they are not either aviation professionals or truly well-informed aficionados. But a professional saying those things is irritating. Flight Crew perfectly know them. They are trained and taught about MEL, Oxygen masks,etc.
I've never been an airline professional, and the flight attendant's vid cheesed me off the most for the same basic reasons you gave. The other guys can't claim expertise in the area, whereas she should be able to. And granted, not everyone can know absolutely every single little thing about their chosen area, but they should at least be aware of the basics. Like, come on. Ugh. So incredibly irresponsible. And with how angry it made me, someone who's never worked in the industry, I can only imagine how upset it must make someone who HAS worked in the industry.
she has an onlyfans so she lacks common sense from that fact alone. Also pretty sure she was fired and is no longer a flight attendant after sharing some salacious stories and tips when it came to that job. @@canadiancritter
Thank you, Kelsey, for calling out and correcting these idiot influencers saying idiot things because they're idiots. They know nothing about aviation or aviation safety and just spout nonsense. It's irresponsible. I really hope the next time there is an in-flight emergency, passengers don't put their feet up or recline their seats because they "don't want their spines to go through their heads on impact."
Oh stfu. My god. They’re not ‘idiots’ for sharing their thoughts on what we all think about. The flight attendant is the fuckin idiot, not the comedians. Dumb fuckin take.
They're not saying dumb things because they're dumb. They're saying scary things because fear sells. You don't get a million views for saying aircraft are safe and we've developed safe practices. You get a million views by spreading dangerous misinformation.
As seen by the JAL flight in Japan the other day listen to your flight crew and do what they say...... everyone survived becuase they listened and got out safely
This Pilot saying having your seat back 2 inches is more impeding than the airlines reducing the space between seats down from 24” to 12” in the last 25 years is hilarious. Not agreeing with Matt or Dave, but you should use common sense.
If she was actually a flight attendant she would know better. As some who ACTUALLY went through AA Flight Attendant Training earlier this year, one of the first things they teach you is about the oxygen system and the fact that it DOES NOT use a tank for passengers, it’s a chemical reaction and the oxygen generator gets hot while creating oxygen for you to breathe. I simply think she bought the scarf that AA Flight Attendants wear threw on a “uniform” (that doesn’t even look like the one our female colleagues wear) and started spewing information that she got second hand or made up. It makes us actual flight attendants look bad
Passenger oxygen supply via bottles is a factory option on some aircraft. e.g. the Boeing 777. Certainly older aircraft such as the 747-400 had bottles only. Having said that, the so-called flight attendant is an idiot. Of course the slide was fixed and it would probably have been fixed within one flight day. The slide defect would have been deferred depending on number of passengers. If the flights were overwater, then the restrictions would have been greater.
Kelsey, very well said! I teacher middle school, and there is nothing more important than teaching students to be ethical and accurate. Expertise is highly respected in my books. Love your videos. Next time you’re in Winnipeg, I’ll show you the sites!! Haha.
“Shoot all the people who were not really dead” lmfao those guys embarrassed themselves on the internet with such stupidity. I love that you called them out.
My sister is a flight attendant and goes though recurrent training. Everyone thinks they are on the plane to serve as glorified servants. They are there for passengers safety.
If it’s any consolation, a few of us do know what cabin crew are for. A few of us pay attention during the safety briefing, follow the safety advice and wear a seatbelt at all times except when I get up.
I worked fast craft ferries for years and assisted with training. One of our first officers was also the regions head TO. He had a really good "ice breaker" speech for newbie crews starting training. It was along the lines of "you're not just here to pull pints, serve coffees and sell stuff in the gift shop. That's not even your primary job role. If that was all that was needed from you the company would fill that ship with vending machines and not bother with the expense of cabin crew. Your job is to save lives if/when things go wrong. If you think this job is going to be like Starbucks at sea then maybe you should leave now before wasting our and your own time". By the time we'd get the new starts, they'd already had 2 days of "customer service" training so that was our way to make it clear THIS is what the job actually was and it was time to really pay attention. He's not wrong either. Training cabin crew even back when I was working there cost thousands but if they didn't pass, they were bounced even after investing that much money into them. As for recurring training, MCA regs for ship crew have certifications for some things and you'd have to recertify to keep the qualification. The ships would have regular drills and a log of crew performance was kept. Any individual crew member that failed in those drills often enough would be thrown shore side until retraining could be arranged or if it was bad enough, lose their job and if it's the ships master giving you the boot, they don't even have to go through the warnings process with HR. Ships in British waters found in breach of regs can have massive fines brought down on the owner/operator and if it's a big enough breach, they can lose their licences to operate at all and have all their routes shut down.
I have heart pilots say: "The flight attendants first and most important job is to assure the safety of this flight and its passengers and crew. It's not to get you drinks or a snack, though they will be happy to do so when their primary job has been attended to, and it's safe to do so." Good to hear that i think.
I would not rely on those women to survive an emergency. Case and point is a rowdy passenger, flight attendants do not restrain them. They're good for alerting the captain and calling police and giving briefings but that's about it.
@@larrybolhuis1049 I wish I started learning sooner. I used to think of the flight crew as customer service. I feel stupid now. The industry makes the crew the final enforcers of countless rules and policies I never even considered.
You just casually added a 4th strip and didn’t mention it!? Congratulations, Captain Kelsey! As an up and coming PP, with commercial aspirations, you’re an inspiration!
That's not correct. There's more money in a lifetime crippling injury than a wrongful death. You have to consider the expenses for care and misery of every minute of everyday of a life-time injury and the impact of wheeling the injured person into court. A person suffering every minute for the rest of their life gets more than a dead person.
As an actual lawyer who has handled both types of cases--inter vivos "injuries" and wrongful death--let me give you the correct answer: it depends. It depends on damages and the level of culpability of the defendant. And there are also many state laws preventing non-dependents and/or non-citizen plaintiffs from bringing wrongful death lawsuits.
I worked for my county medical examiners office, I assisted investigation and removed many 10's of thousands of dead bodies... I saw many things including plane crashes, and a few very strange things. But I can assure you that spines can not shoot through someones head.
I think the girl WAS a flight attendant and is now an adult film star and tries to get people funneled to her “exotic” content. So, the more viral her “flight only” content is, the more people watch other videos from her, slowly convincing them to look for “the other” content. It’s easy to mix true stuff with sensational stuff if your motive is only to create a funnel.
This is getting ridiculous. I just saw a short with a female comedian, and she was terrible frankly. Apparently people only watch her because she also makes that kind of stuff. Weird times we live in...
@@Mountain-Man-3000is she on anything else besides only fans? Just want to make sure I don't accidentally see it. I want to make sure and block those sites.......
This is basically common sense of physics when something comes to an abrupt stop. Things come from behind.... As a former aircraft mechanic "influencers" like these are beyond aggravating. And to the "FA" who "reveal all"....Well...again, to us who, litterally, through blood and sweat pour all our pride and discipline into our work to make sure we are keeping aviation safety at top level; I hope I never meet her... Also, our colleagues at the front of that plane do the same. Listen to them! Thank you CAPTAIN Kelsey for helping ALL of us aviation professionals with your fantastic delivery of how it really is!
Don't confuse being wealthy with being intelligent.
It's true. Some people with low IQ's are very wealthy.
Sometimes I almost feel like the inverse is true, considering how many people got rich due to their complete lack of social intelligence, common sense and basic understanding of the law...
Wealth is a GREAT insulator from the effects of stupidity or lack of common sense. They can just spend their way out of their dumbass decisions and make it someone else's problem. But most REAL wealthy people were born with the $ chromosome or get lucky with stupid ideas and bad decisions. A few REALLY earn it through hard work, but at least half of them would be eligible for a lifetime membership at Club Fed if we actually knew how they got there.
But i'm not saying they're dumber than the consumers and fetuses who fall for their scams either.
Having never been wealthy but still college educated, I'd much rather be wealthy and dumb than poor and smart.
there's literally nothing with a higher correlation though
Plane crash survivor here. I'm incredibly grateful I put my head down. Not only did it contribute to the "survivor" part of being a plane crash survivor, but it also helped shield my 15-month-old daughter during impact. She was traveling in my lap. She, too survived. Listen to your pilot and crew.
I'm no plane crash survivor, but I was in a car crash once, where I was in the backseat with no seat belt on. I knew we were going to crash and did the "brace for impact" thing instinctually... I'm pretty sure it saved me from being much was off, instead of my body crashing into the seat inferno of me it just pushed up against it
Oh! Wow😮
I hope you heal from that tragic event.

FOUR STRIPES! Congratulations Kelsey!!! What a journey it's been with you over the years!
Oh wow I just noticed this thanks to your comment and yes I agree what an awesome achievement for Kelsey!
@@fax565 Last week there were "only" 3! Santa visited Kelsey earlier this year! Congrats Kelsey!
Wow! Congratulations Kelsey!
Just noticed this too. Congrats Cap'n Kelsey.
Yay I noticed 4 stripes too. Congrats!
The MythBusters did a show on the brace position, and found that the least damage was made to the test crash dummy when in the brace position
Exactly! That experiment really eased my mind about flying…or rather about an unexpected lack of flying… The truth is that planes very, very rarely "crash." They might have hard landings or lose some landing gear, but it’s so totally unlikely that you’ll be on a plane that actually crashes. And if your plane does lose its wings or encounters an unexpected object like a mountain, the likelihood of survival is very low no matter how you brace.
@@DaveTexasvery true, people don’t understand how uncommon a plane crash is. Sure we hear about what seems like quite a few crashes each year, but there are thousands of flights per day, millions per year. The chance of you being in a plane crash is significantly lower than you getting into an accident on your way to work
is not hard to think a little bit to understand that airliners spend a whole lot money to find the safest mesures. If they say something, don't argue, just listen and follow their direction. That's their job. What happens when you discuss with someone expert on their field and that you have no idea what you are talking about? 100% you'll put yourself in a very bad situation. Just listen
Yes! I watched that video & the girl even said it supported her body a lot
It's almost as if the industry came up with a brace position after countless real world experiences of people dying in crashes. 🤔
Not to mention, if that position was designed to kill you, that could be proved and if it was proved, that would be multiple lawsuits FAR, FAR bigger than anything we have seen. Multiple airlines would be sued into oblivion and multiple people responsible for those policies would go to jail. The airlines would be risking far more with a position designed to kill you.
EXACTLY
in the US in the modern day this kind of isn't true. These things are factored in to cost assessments and most likely the airlines would face a penalty that is less than the money they saved from doing the thing, and nobody in any position of real power would spend a day in jail.
However, the fact that it hasn't actually been claimed by anyone of any repute (not just government/media-anointed "experts", but really ANYONE with a reputation in biology or crash investigation) let alone proven in the decades of commercial air travel and that it just popped up as some dumbass aspect of the US political culture war a few years ago really tells me all I need to know about it's veracity.
@Person01234 I actually remember this theory from Mythbusters. They tested different positions and found the crash position is the safest for you by far. About the only truth to the myth was that a wrongful death suit is cheaper than the cost of a crash injury.
This isn't true if anyone can reasonably prove that this is the worst advice or really bad advice that person or entity would make an insane amount of money@@Person01234
Yes, it would be criminal and hundreds if not thousands would go to jail. It’s situations like this where I wonder if platforms like TH-cam do us a disservice by amplifying the voices of extremely uneducated people.
Seeing that you are now a captain really caught me off guard! I even looked back at your other videos to make sure I didn’t miss any info on that. What a great surprise! Congratulations Captain!
SAME!!
I agree -- did the double-take myself while listening to him when I looked at his shoulder bars. Then wondered “when did I miss THAT video?. 😅
Captains have to have moustaches though, wear blue ties, and have a thick parted 1970's hairstyle... the new position requires some style changes :)
Yeah I had to count three times to make sure cheers…and congrats to captain Kelsey…

I missed that fourth bar until I saw your comment. Congrats to Cap'n Kelsey.
Congratulations Kelsey on becoming a Captain. That’s just a wonderful achievement continue educating us✈️
loved that "random maintenance guy". Those people are well trained professionals.
And they're on the hook if they okay something that is an issue.
Its just somebody talking about something she has zero qualifications in
well she is techically right XD They are random people, since every airport has a different one and no chance the pilots knows them all. They are indeed random "well trained professionals" maintenance guys.
Craigslist? American Airlines here. You got sb to fix a slide? Plumber? Good enough, send him over to JFK.
@@NickCarter1974 I mean technically yes but we all know that her choice of words sends a specific message. She wouldn't call a pilot a "random flying guy". Just say technician or engineer or whatever if you're not sure of the exact job title.
A long time ago, my husband was on a flight and the captain refused to take off. It was a small plane, so he came into the cabin and apologized for the delay. He said it was going to be a while because of the paperwork, that it was something easy enough to fix, but he will not fly until it will be taken care of. Safe to say passengers (my husband included) where happy to wait. So, yes, if the captain feels that is not safe, they just don't fly. BTW, congrats on your promotion.
This has happened at least three times in my experience. She’s nuts.
Light aircraft twin prop qualified pilot here I hear you never decided not to fly but have rejected a take off before V1 twice, both times was gut instinct ,out of both of those times one saved me and a few other people. The first turned out the failure was like an engine light in a car , thats fine to still keep driving in an aircraft their is no tolerance nor second guessing .
It is actually a culture that the aviation industry has worked hard at to deliberately create. In the bad old days, pilots might have felt pressured to fly anyway. These days, pilots are empowered to say no without any pushback from their employer.
I once flew from Dulles International to Harrisonberg, VA in a small twin prop plane. There were thunderstorms in the area and the captain came into the waiting area to tell us he didn’t want take off until the weather cleared. My fellow passengers were all griping but I thanked the captain for his care.
Influencers are the main danger in the modern world wherever you look, I'm a mountaineer and they're single handedly putting many lives at risk encouraging people to take on routes beyond their skillset, it's very worrying how big an influence they can be and how many people listen to them. I'm also an auditor and we always joke about the aeronautics industry having some of the most extreme and vigorous systems in place for constant and continued safety checking of gear and equipment, because they do!
It's astounding to me that they don't even do a 2 minute fact check... Nah... just put their mind in neutral and let their mouths freewheel.
Matt Rife is a comedian, idk why y’all are taking him seriously 😅
@@the_menace_mike I guess you never watched the video.
@markjones127 beyond their skills etc, unfortunately their name gives them away to the intelligent.. if you can be influenced by morons who don't leave their ai houses then you may already be in trouble..after it's stupid that gets the attention...just take a look at pilot debrief who nails it when he says, " some people just aren't meant to fly!"
Very insightful comment 😊 also I love your pfp! I am going to Wales with my family soon, I absolutely love the culture, language, everything! 🏴
Congratulations Captain Kelsey Hughes on your first video with the 4th stripe. You did not say it, but we sure noticed it between this and last week. Well deserved. You teach, inspire and share your love of flying in a really down to earth manner. Blue side and thumbs up!
My wife noticed it in a few seconds of the video starting. Came here and glad you posted it already.
Hah, I knew something was different! Well done Kelsey and continued success!
Awesome!!!😊
I was about to write the exact same thing
Congratulations Kelsey!!
Mainntenance here:
The oxygen masks and "PSU" (passenger service units) get looked over every C-check.
The masks get their oxygen from "oxygen generators" or "candles" that get activated when you give a strong jerk to the strings that deploy with the masks.
Typical arrangement is 3 masks (seats) per candle.
The candles have a shelf life. They get recycled or otherwise disposed regularly.
Thank you. I was wondering about that as a student pilot.
and we know what happens when they aren’t recycled correctly. ValuJet 592. It was taboo to talk about at my company
Yeah, everything she says is crap. I doubt she's even real crew anywhere.

Congrats on the fourth stripe sir! So well deserved, your channel is informative and factual. I started in aviation in 1973 and have seen it all come and go. At last there is someone putting the record straight.... Thanks 🤝
Congrats on your promotion to Captain! Thank you for all you do to help us non-pilots understand and be comfortable flying,
Just noticed 4 stripes on the epaulets and came searching for the comments. Sweet!
Yup I saw that too! Congrats on the promotion!!
Great job Kelsey! You’re really an inspiration to me (and others I’m sure) as an aspiring pilot. I love your videos, keep it up

Even sadder is people idolizing the so called "Influencer" that could care less about their audience after they get the "click"
Yep, we always had stupid people but now the stupid people have podcasts and have been told they know better than experts.
@@moosevision8113 That's the TRUTH. They sure don't want to hear that.
I just noticed that.
When they give bad safety information, how do they keep from getting sued?
30 years of commercially flying here: I had a crew unintentionally forgetting to disarm a slide on arrival and the slide fired. For the return flight, as there was no replacement slide at that airport, we had to reduce the amount of passengers by 50! That was an Airbus 320. So, the requirement to be able to get your passengers out within 90 seconds with half of the emergency exits (if memory serves me right) was still given. It is all in the minimum equipment list, which is approved by the authorities. Let me conclude by saying there is no industrie in the world that has learned more from its accidents than airlines!
After a particularly "rough landing" where we were told to "brace" with a very hard landing followed by hard braking, I witnessed the overhead bin pop open with a carry-on bag flying forward and slamming someone in the back of the head of another person who didn't "brace" splitting him open, profusely bleeding. Keep your heads down people. We all walked off, but scary as hell.
That's a good reference and helps me make the right decision in that situation. ;)
It surprises me how folks who are casual observers will tell people to ignore safety advice given by trained staff, I don't bother to challenge them, but try to make sure others realise that H&S advice will normally be best advice!
After. a few close calls, and a background of adventurous sports, i've always been safety first. That actually led to my only crash, when I hired an instructor on a murky day, he got lost, instead of admitting this, ( I could have got us out ) He flew me in to a mountain, the undercarriage was removed by a cliff and we sat on a ledge!
Anyone who thinks these nutters know anyth8ng other than an ability to list a string of A list Celebrities
Congrats on the bar!!!!!
"influencers" are the worst byproduct of this narcissistic society that we inhabit and that term is something that should've never been a part of our lexicon. Thank goodness you are the voice of reason. Keep up the great work.

Oh, I just noticed that you have your fourth stripe! Congratulations! Of course I only know you through your channel, but you come across as a very competent and professional pilot. I’m sure you’ll have a long and successful career in aviation.
I was on a plane where the flaps failed. I learned that same day what flaps are for. If we didn’t listen to the flight crew, I believe that there would be a few injuries on the flight. Especially spinal injuries. Our necks are not created to bounce back and forth and side to side with extreme force. The flight attendants also told us to raise our seatbelt as high as possible and buckle up tight. Had anyone not done that, it too would have caused an injury of some sort. The landing that day was extremely hard and fast and my waist had a few bruises from the seatbelt but the pilots did an amazing job with landing safely and keeping the people calm. They acted as if it was a simple problem, they deal with every day. I don’t know how serious it really was because the crew were so calm and knowledgeable.
As a retired major airline pilot, it is nice to hear someone on the internet actually say things that are correct. Good on you
As a retired airline pilot, you should have learned by now the real reason!!! It’s to do with spinal compression! Hahah. Hilarious!
Yep. Anyone who takes time & trouble to debunk BS is doing a good thing.
As a retired airline pilot myself I'm in full agreement with you. The 💩 they think we're up to in all the conspiracy theories are ridiculous and past annoying.

the plane fire in Haneda Japan shows us that you can evacuate 380 people with one broken slide. Everything could be in perfect condition and still have defect parts during an emergency but what's more important is having a crew that stays calm and clearheaded in those situations
Having seen a flight attendant freak out when a flight I was on had to go back to the airport after takeoff because a light indicated that a baggage door might be open, I sure agree. I wasn't too anxious until she answered a passenger's little joke with "No! No this doesn't happen all the time!" in a shaky voice. You don't want to see an F/A seem scared! That passenger looked at me from across the aisle, and we shared looks of "UH OH." We were ok, but I hope she found a different career. There was a pile of luggage on the apron where it meets the taxiway, btw.
And passengers that stay calm & follow instructions!👍
Former flight attendant here. In the beginning of my career if I got pushback I would try to politely, patiently, succinctly explain policies and procedures---we weren't there to order people around or make things difficult (yes, I know, *some* f/a's aren't nice)---it's about *safety.* People appreciated the explanation and usually complied without much fuss. As time went on, people no longer listened, gave a bunch of attitude and did whatever the heck they wanted anyway. Eventually, it was hard to care anymore. It seemed to me people just wanted to complain/be miserable. I know flying isn't particularly pleasant (*lots* of reasons for that) but still I wish people appreciated the miracle of flight and had some idea what it takes to operate a single flight. It takes the coordination of many people doing various difficult and often complicated jobs, working under various conditions and time constraints, to make even one flight happen. Multiply that by hundreds of flights a day. It's not like getting on a Greyhound bus.
I left flying for various reasons and I do miss a lot of things about the job, but I don't miss the crazies and as the pilot here says those lacking "all common sense." (I can't believe some of the behavior I see on TH-cam.) I do want to add that *most* people were not a problem, and I met some truly fabulous folks (it's just that the nasty ones kinda stick with ya).
In the military the air crew greet their passengers with "Sit down, shut the fuck up and don't touch nothin'."😂
Japan Air and Japanese flight attendants are the best in the industry
@@mijo3642 , never flown with them but I've heard they're very professional.
He very politely roasted the crap out of them 😂😂😂. Glad someone is putting them in their place and educating them at the same time. Well done Kelsey!
They are pretty dumb though. Probably sub-100 iq
Congratulation, Kelsey, on your promotion. If the content of your TH-cam channel is any indication of your dedication to the aviation industry, you certainly earned that promotion. Again, congratulations.
If the content of his TH-cam channel is any indication of his dedication to the aviation industry, he has fake log books and cheats on every exam LOL what a clickbait punk LOL
Hah. Just noticed he had a new stripe. Didn't see it until your comment.
Most people in the US do exactly that.
Kelsey, when were you promoted?
Lol, was bout to make the exact same comment when I noticed the four stripes. Congrats, Kelsey, well deserved, I'm sure 🙂
Congratulations on becoming captain Kelsey! Well deserved, I have no doubts about that! And thank you for trying to combat the lies of those influencers.
Nice! I didnt notice till I saw your comment. Congrats Kelsey!
Yes, congratulations, well deserved!
More stripes? Awesome, congrats Kelsie!
As an actual aviation maintenance tech, that second tiktok really made me angry. What a huge pack of lies. We check EVERYTHING on that plane at set intervals determined by the FAA and each manufacturer/buyer (airline/cargo company/etc). The emergency oxygen system has expiration dates, as does every piece of emergency equipment. Maintenance swaps them out for new if one expires. Yes. We keep track. And deferrals are only allowed for certain items, and many have restrictions set in, which are all determined for safety reasons. These "influencers" really annoy me how dangerous their misinformation can be.
Think she’s watched too many episodes of Aircrash Investigation. Everyone’s an expert these days. There’s no way a LAME would sign off on a defect and let an aircraft fly. Well not in my country or yours either. Social media can be very dangerous. Keep up your good work of making the skies safer
Does she fly for Air Koryo?
All those influencers are just watching each others TikTok's and trying to get views without actually knowing a thing. They are so annoying.
ValuJet Flight 592 even had a fire caused by expired oxygen generators in their cargo bay in 1996 so I believe now there are restrictions on transporting those. So expiries of those have existed at least that long.
@@KH-rc7tl well, those, who watched Aircrash investigations, know that crashes almost never happened for the same reason because, almost, after every crash there are changes to procedures, or even aircraft design aimed at preventing that particular scenario from happening again. Unless it is Boeing with friends in the FAA...
You mean if you give an 18 year old millions of dollars and make him famous he’s going to say the same stupid things 18 year olds say only instead to the entire world?!
The flight attendant “Sierra Mist” was fired years ago for her inappropriate social media. I would take anything she says with a grain of salt. She is a popular topic on flight attendant discussion boards
Hahaha. What an idiot. So basically, she has no flight attendant experience.
Wasn’t she the til tok airline attendant lady that also had a of. I remember one on tic tok talking about all the attendants and pilots she’s screwed. Incredibly trashy tbh
Yeah. She has/had an only fans. She would hint at it in stories she would tell about being inappropriate with CO workers. Saying to go to that page to get the whole story. No wonder she had so many followers 🙄
Yes, she's also the one who made videos updating everyone about her b*tt plug stuck in the b*tt for couple of days.. @@FalloutGenius1
Yes just like the previous comment not to confuse money with brains we should not confuse ex flight attendants seeking publicity with being honest and truthful. Sadly sensationalism is what she's selling and that's a long way from the truth
Just noticed you've been promoted, Kelsey! Congratulations on that, Captain! 🎉
So much misinformation being taken apart, love it!
Congratulations on the seat swap, Kelsey. You've worked hard to reach this point, so you definitely deserve it.
I totally missed the extra stripe on our guy!
@@peterhospodar7876 I noticed something different on this video, and it hit me -- Kelsey has four stripes now! Congratulations, Captain Kelsey.
I am a day late and 3/4 way through, looked over at vid (was just listening) and saw that! Grats indeed.
Has he made any vlog talking about how one gets the next stripe or did I miss it?
Wow Kelsey!! I haven’t popped in these days but look at that, those stripes!! Congratulations!!! 🥳 👏
Good job, tiger!
So awesome to see that extra bar on yoir shoulders CAPTAIN !!!! That is so amazing man, I hope we get a video about you getting such a great promotion!!!
Congratulations Captain Hughes ! I am delighted for you , long overdue ! I'm a private pilot with no ambitions of joining the airlines . That was actually my dream when I was a kid but ended up going to med school instead. Again, congratulations Captain .
Congratulations on making Captain, I know that had to be such a great feeling. I absolutely love your videos and it's because of you that I have much less fear of flying. I trust you more that social media "influences" because unlike them, you actually know what you're talking about. You've worked hard to build your career, now you're taking the knowledge you've gained and putting it to great use educating people about flying. Thank you for doing these amazing videos that are both educational and fun to watch. I've always had a love for aviation and now I'm much less fearful of flying after getting the right information from someone who knows what they're talking about. Thank you again for all you do and keep making these amazing videos!!!!!
Congrats on the Left Seat upgrade. I am excited to hear your voice deepen with your added responsibility 😂😂😂
Thiiiiis is your captain speaking! ….Welcome aboard thiiiiis cargo flight. We will ,,,,shortly be on our way, please pay full attention to the cargo safety briefing …. Sorry Kelsey😂 well done, I’m a huge fan! 👍👍👍
I couldn’t agree more! Congratulations Kelsey. Great video on bringing out truth about the spreading of blatant misinformation.
Influencers should be held accountable for misinformation. Especially when it can kill people. It’s completely reckless and negligent.
I agree. It's important that we all try to improve the critical thinking skills of citizens, but we can't rely on that, so it's critical that examples of widespread nonsense are able to face consequences that exceed the benefit 'from the views'
Agree. There are so many that perpetuate misinformation.

I noticed too! Congratulations!

Congrats on your promotion. Always love your videos! 👍
Oooh, now that you mention this!🤩 What an unassuming and modest way of coming out as someone with four stripes 😁
Mythbusters tested this on S3/E13. They did find that commercial aviation related life insurance payouts tend to be cheaper than life long disability payouts. Despite this, they also found that the brace position where you lean forward with your arms on the seat in front of you tends to be much more safe than not bracing.
Did their calculations include the loss of stock price attributed to deaths on an airplane?
@@nicolasadams835yeah this is a very good point too. If an accident happens and the media even slightly thinks that the deaths may have to do with the brace position the airlane stock is gonna hit the ground faster than the crashed plane
Ah! The goog old Mithbusters! Today they don’t do anything like that anymore! I miss them.
@@nicolasadams835 Conspiracy much? The fact is the brace position is safer. WTF would you need to factor in stock prices? That's just a stupid comment.
The brace position comes from the FAA not the airline or insurance company. It has nothing to do with the financial outcome of a crash.
Hypoxia is seriously scary. It’s like being drunk but you have no reason to realize you’re drunk because you didn’t have anything. Then your brain just loses all sense of danger and you just let yourself die even if you could easily save yourself.
Let me just say, I am SOOO bloody tired of stupid people becoming famous, instead of be pointed at and laughed off the platform.
Thanks for setting that stupidity straight, Kelsey.
We used to gatekeep publishing. We lost out on a LOT of great publication that just never made it past the gatekeepers even though they were worthy (maybe even more worthy than most published material).
BUT we also gatekept 99% of the idiots out too.
Hindsight is showing us that was probably better.
Can't really go back now though.
Damn, these losers should be held accountable for misinformation.
Stupid people get famous because they have lots of stupid followers, very sadly, in millions. The people who laugh at them are miniscule, just like us. Gen Z could have had so much potential, but it will just go wasted in making Tik Toks and Instagram "content".
Content has no value @@BhaaskarDesai
@@pilsplease7561 Yes. Which is why I used that word sarcastically. :P
I called bullshit on that “flight attendant’s” videos as soon as she started to pop up. She’s clearly doing it for views. Some of the things she’s said are incredibly unprofessional. She still amassed millions of followers somehow. What I’ve learned is the world is majority-full of idiots, and they all stick together.
She also talks about how she gets drunk, or hooks up with the pilot during flights. I think she was a flights attendant at one point but either quit or was fired. There's no way she's actively working as flight attendant saying the things she does.
@@Oliviaandtrina So you found her page too...ya she a ho lol
@@OliviaandtrinaCorrect. She was sorta correct with the crash pads though and the crew members hooking up. That happens more with the really younger crew members and the regional airlines. I saw some of that years ago when I was younger, BUT you have to go looking for it. Certain crash pads were known for that. She was looking for it probably
Sometimes stupidity pays better than crime.
She amassed that many followers because tiktok causes severe brain rot, to the point that people actually forgo common sense and listen to an idiot
Congratulations on becoming a captain!!! I´m currently going through my private pilot training and want to become an airline pilot too. Your content has really inspired me to follow on! Thanks for the difference you make!! You surely deserve that 4th stripe
Hooray for Kelsey!
(Or however it’s spelled)
Hey, I noted that too by myself. Now he has four stripes! Hooray and congrats!
4th strip, congrats!!!
Worked on your “Captain” voice yet, Kelsey?
My uncle survived the East Midlands BMA crash because he followed the instructions of professionally trained crew.
Safety on aircraft is so advanced these days that most people survive the crash; it's what they do after that kills them.
I'm. a frequent flyer but I ALWAYS follow the safety instructions/video. Muscle memory plays a part too; many people can't get out of their seats because they are busy pressing the seat belt release; it's lift and separate. When you are stressed, you won't necessarily figure that out.
Thank you for keeping us protected from influencers.
That 4th stripe looks majestic on your shoulders brotha!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I damn near lose what little faith I have left in humanity when I think about how many ignorant buffoons pay attention to “influencers”. No one should pay attention to them. They should be ignored.
Not only ignored, but also - in case someone copied their dumb ideas - sued for endangering others.
Social media is destroying the US and the rest of the world for that matter.
influencer means advertiser.
Most of the people who pay attention to them are kids and teens. People who can't and don't know any better. Adults do it too but this is a kid thing mainly
Isn't this literally a video from an influencer pilot tho? I feel like its just like everything else, bad influencers should be ignored, but channels like 74 Gear and Blancolirio are incredible for education, but they are still influencers
Kelsey, CONGRATS ON BECOMING A CAPTAIN! We have waited for this moment forever. I hope nothing but a bright future ahead of you.

What is 2 stripes
@@ablecdn15652nd officer.
@@ablecdn1565 second officer, but that role is only in some countries
Avionics technician here. I'm responsible for the electrical, computer and communication systems on planes. Not sure what part of 14 CFR governs the oxygen mask deployment on airliners but: Every plane has an interval at which certain inspections are *required* to be performed. That's what the alphabetical checks are. C check is every 2 years or so, A check is every 400-600 flight hours, etc. At regular intervals the oxygen mask deployment system gets tested. We make sure they manually deploy via the control in the cockpit and also automatically by connecting a pneumatic test set to the planes pitot/static sensors to simulate a certain altitude at which the masks are observed to deploy or not deploy. Where I work it's mandatory that our quality control inspector is present when this test is performed because it's safety critical. If they don't deploy the problem is either fixed or the jet isn't allowed to leave until it's corrected. We also verify oxygen flow rate and that the masks themselves aren't broken. Like little plastic pieces and what not.
Wall of text I know. Point being, she is completely wrong. Just about any and everything you can imagine and more is regularly inspected/tested for proper working condition. ESPECIALLY anything to do with flight safety or emergency systems.
My kids were scared on a flight we were on because it had a little bit of turbulence. I told them that the pilots have just as much interest in living as you do so they'll fly the plane safely.
You're an amazing mom Fionia
As an adult who is still made a little uncomfortable by turbulence my favorite self soothe is to remind myself that turbulence is just like bumps in the road, that may help too if you fly again soon :)
I always look at the cabin staff, if they are calm there is no reason for me to worry, they go through this every day on the job they know better than me
@@momain5483it is a pretty good analogy. Basically that's what it is but of course transferred into aerodynamics
@@momain5483I was afraid to fly most of my life (it was totally irrational - so glad I’m over it) and used to tell myself the same thing re: turbulence. That’s exactly what it is, after all 😊
Congrats captain!! Love ur content keep the good work up
I just subbed to your channel. Good luck with it!
I am a FAA licensed Flight Dispatcher. For every aircraft operation's manual there is a list of items that can be broken or not working and the airplane is still allowed to fly. There is also a list of items that prevent the plane from being dispatched if they are broken or are not operable. It all has to do with the safe operation of the aircraft.
Same for school bus inspections at the beginning of the day. Some stuff downs the bus (brakes, school bus lights, etc) and some stuff maintenance can fix when you return from getting the kids to school (one headlight out, etc).
Minimum Equipment List
Yeah im an actual jet mechanic and these people crack me up
MELs vary by airline right? I’m working on a discovery flight before I make a journey towards SWA
@@Mid-Michigan-Outdoors There is a Master Minimum Equipment List for the aircraft type. The airline can create a MEL based off this Master list that is more restrictive, and this depends on the type of operation and routes they fly.
A sign of our times, people talking out of their butts, or intentionally spreading misinformation for clout. Thanks for making videos like this, and being always so professional!
I´m a biologist, so here are my two cents: the spine is a collection of vertebrae, anyone that has suffered even a hard fall or has been hit by a car knows that your spine compresses, vertebrae can be smashed together or be fractured, and your spinal cord can be pinched or even severed. In the scenario Matt talks so confidently incorrectly about, your cervical vertebrae could be compressed against the base of your skull (which is very very hard in comparison) if you have braced yourself and kept your head down. You'll probably have some neck issues, but it beats the alternative of smashing your face against the seat before you and eating your own teeth... really, these people need to be held accountable.
Congratulations Kelsey on your Captain promotion!
YES!
Rule of thumb: don’t listen to someone who hasn’t extensively studied or experienced a subject matter, or wouldn’t stand in front of their bosses or customers and say the same thing. Instant gratification through social media has replaced common sense for so many… those talking and those listening.
Even someone paid to train me doesn't mean they are competent. One can usually tell when specific questions get s asked - A competent person generally is happy to answer - share their knowledge. The concept of influencer is something that goes over my head. Some un-vetted person blabbing for views is not a reliable source.
But the pilots and flight attendants haven't studied the subject matter of crash survival. They're just telling you what they're required to tell you.
People like to watch channels like this and think being a pilot qualifies what is being said, but they're often talking about things that have nothing to do with the pilot.
I'm not saying they don't know what they're talking about but being a pilot doesn't mean they would know.
Lots of instructors I've had can tell you what they learned, but have no clue if something is true or not, but will argue with people who've actually tried things and found the explanation to be wrong. A lot know what airspeed to fly on approach and the correct attitude and it works. But they wouldn't be able to work out how to do things differently. They just do what they were taught and nothing else.
Be careful thinking pilots are experts, especially be suspicious of those that act as if they are.
Remember when all of those “experts” said the jab would “stop the spread”? Or how about the 50 “experts” who swore the laptop was “disinformation” 😂
Thanks for once again calling out the uninformed on the internet! By the way, congrats on your Captaincy- four stripes look good on you 😊👏
In forty four years of rescue work, I have only ever seen a spine driven into a skull once. That person had jumped from the 22nd floor of a tower block and landed feet first, they collapsed and the impact on his pelvis and coccyx drove the spine up. The damage was severe but not immediately fatal, he was making noises and tried to get help. The person who called 999 was distraught and vomiting. He didn't make it and I was at his post mortem the following day. He took a few hours to finally die, which was a blessing as there wasn't much of him that had no damage. 42 years later I can still remember the whole thing clearly, including the smell as he drunk a bottle of whiskey just before he jumped.
damn reality is scary
A number of years ago The Food Babe had an article about how dangerous flying in a plane is because they pressurize the cabin and that puts pressure on your internal organs. I sent her a message letting her know that the "pressurized cabin" is at a pressure that is less than sea level. She never responded. LOL
Uhm, say what..?! The pressurized cabin is below sea level? 😆How do you figure?? 🤔
She also said it’s better to sit in the front of the plane because there’s more oxygen as they pump it in from the front.
Hard to tell if she’s more of a con artist or more stupid. She’s definitely both.
@@speedbird9313the pressure experienced in the cabin is less than the pressure at sea level.
@@speedbird9313you sweet summer child
@@speedbird9313because pressure st sea level is 14.7 psi….and pressure in an airplane “at pressure” is 11 to 12 PSI. 🤦🏼♂️. 14.7-12= less than sea level.

Congrats, Kelsey. Those 4 bars look really good. Well done!!
I noticed that too! Way to go, man, and keep the great vids coming!
They do indeed!!!
Field Marshall Kelsey?!?
Thanks for noticing.
Not only does having the seat in the upright position give the person behind you more room to escape in an emergency (especially if it's a tall or obese person behind you), but it's also harder for you to get up in a reclined position during an emergency (especially in a compact space with seats on both sides), and much easier for you to inadvertently slide out of your seat on the force of impact when in a reclined position (rather than being restrained by the ninety-degree angle of the back of the seat and seatbelt in the upright position).
i think these "influencers" should be held liable for spreading this kind of very dangerous false information
They should be loudly and publicly ridiculed and refuted, not by government choking out free speech. It would not end with stopping stupidity. Use free speech to do as this pilot here is doing, pointing out how wrong the misinformed are. It is not illegal to be wrong or to be a sphincter, and should not be, but it is not illegal to point out when someone is being wrong.
@@michaeljarvis5489not by the government, held liable by the platforms they spread bullshit on
Court system too jank to do that
@@michaeljarvis5489its just that sometimes audience based scoring depends greatly on audience pool. Which i doubt is smart enough if they look at this kind of show.
I think the responsibility should be on the creator to fact check everything.. theres another option like forming 3rd party audit but it most likely wont outpace content creation
Liable of what injury? There has to be some type of damage done for liability.
Congrats Capt Left chair! Seriously, congratulations on your upgrade. I decided to go the private pilot route and considered commercial flying but my career was already set for Bio Medical Engineering. I loved what I do. Now retired but still flying.

As a pilot I always find it hilarious that people think I would even be on that aircraft let alone take off if something wasn't safe. Luckily for the passengers, I value my life and by getting myself there safe....they get there safe also.
I was on a flight where the flap actuators were clearly stuck during pre-flight checks.
The captain decided that she was not taking off with this problem, and I rather fear she got into a lot of trouble with the company for this decision, as it was one of the rock-bottom no-frills outfits.

Congratulations Captain! I hope with the promotion that you keep the channel going strong through the new year (recalling last year's New Years video). It wouldn't be a Sunday morning without you!

Great example of the value of staying in your lane
Whoever she is, her airline should fire her immediately. Because if I saw her working on a plane, I woukd refuse to fly. She is a danger to her passengers with her lies.
I'm more concerned with them lowering standards for pilots these days.
It is easy as a novice or as a person with no experience in engineering or creating safety procedures to panic when you see something that seems weird to you but it doesn't mean the the experts didn't thought of that.
She uses her TH-cam shorts to promote her OF
I was also thinking she should be fired.
@badlaamaurukehu maybe you should take two seconds look into why they're doing that instead of doing exactly what these people in the video are doing.
In my mind “influencer” is practically a derogatory term for very extrovert but not particularly bright person, who use social media and cheap psychological trick of sensationalism - to make money on even less bright “followers”. Glad to see there are educational and informative channels (like this one) to challenge their bull***t.
150 years ago they'd be running a religion.
One of the best descriptions I have seen of these people.
Well said.
exactly.
I watched the 727 crash test full of cameras, avatars and shock patches. Some of the "people" were sitting up, some reclined and some in the crash position. Amazingly, most were better off in the crash positions so I guess influencers only try to sound like they know. Don't confuse them with facts...😅😅😅
Kelsey noticed that 4th stripe while you were talking. Congratulations Captain! Well done!
Also thank you for putting these PSA's out there. For those other than us in the industry, people need to hear reality and feel safe to enjoy the best way to travel.

Had to double-check that I didn't miss a video with that 4th stripe showing up. Congrats!
I didn't notice that until I read your comment! Congratulations, Kelsy!
Omg! I didn’t initially notice! You’re right!
Congrats, Kelsey!
I literally noticed 5 minutes in lol. I think that it’s incredible that you have achieved that milestone! I think it’s even more incredible that you didn’t “have” to say anything about it. I admire that.
I've never been on a plane & I know more than her about aviation just from watching Mentour Pilot. They have redundancies for EVERYTHING - even redundancies have redundancies. I actually facepalmed when she said "12 minutes of oxygen," even I know it doesn't take 12 mins for an emergency descent to a breathable level. The on-screen explanation of the O2 tanks was fascinating, so simple yet so clever.
Apparently this guy didn't watch Mythbusters growing up. Back in the day they tested different landing positions and did indeed find that these different positions that they tell people to use were effective in reducing injuries. I'm basically thinking they need to make the whole series available on TH-cam, like they made the episode that tested how to reduce spreading the flu during the pandemic.
So what was the best position?
How to reduce spreading?
@@Joshua-lz9skthe best position was shown in the video. Head down, on your legs in sitting position and tucking your hands above ur head
Saying “this guy” is confusing to readers like the first commenter. This guy would generally be thought to refer to the main person who is creating this reaction and educational video (pilot).
@@k.w.1459exactly. I agree. I think they meant Matt and that show, but I can’t be sure. By using ‘this’ versus ‘that’ he’s also insinuating a closer proximity to us, ie. the pilot on this channel.
"Made my fear of flying even worse" so she had a pre-existing fear of flying, then woke up one morning and thought "I'm going to become a flight attendant!".
😂 good one!
I know the thought process that goes into this: If you face your fears long enough you will eventually become desensitized to it. Truth be told i’m a student pilot and I was deathly afraid of heights but i got used to it and love flying now
Right? When she said she's a flight attendant, I was wondering if she meant in a game.
Then I wondered if she has followers who actually believe the garbage she's spewing. They get on a plane with that ignorance and they'll be put off quicker than they can say fake flight attendant.
I'm a pilot with a fear of heights. that actually makes sense.
Congrats Kelsey on your 4 bars! I enjoy your channel a lot, and have been subscribed for some time. I am also a retired airlines professional and value how you have created such a fun and accessible channel to discuss and share lot of interesting topics for everyone. On the contrary I was more upset with the "flight attendant" than those wealthy youtubers, as they are not either aviation professionals or truly well-informed aficionados. But a professional saying those things is irritating. Flight Crew perfectly know them. They are trained and taught about MEL, Oxygen masks,etc.
I've never been an airline professional, and the flight attendant's vid cheesed me off the most for the same basic reasons you gave.
The other guys can't claim expertise in the area, whereas she should be able to.
And granted, not everyone can know absolutely every single little thing about their chosen area, but they should at least be aware of the basics.
Like, come on. Ugh.
So incredibly irresponsible.
And with how angry it made me, someone who's never worked in the industry, I can only imagine how upset it must make someone who HAS worked in the industry.
she has an onlyfans so she lacks common sense from that fact alone. Also pretty sure she was fired and is no longer a flight attendant after sharing some salacious stories and tips when it came to that job. @@canadiancritter
@@canadiancritter No one cares about you. The world does not operate on how you feel. It made you mad?? Who cares? Who are you?

Thank you, Kelsey, for calling out and correcting these idiot influencers saying idiot things because they're idiots. They know nothing about aviation or aviation safety and just spout nonsense. It's irresponsible.
I really hope the next time there is an in-flight emergency, passengers don't put their feet up or recline their seats because they "don't want their spines to go through their heads on impact."
And if some passengers die due to following some idiot influencers' advice, their families will sue them for spreading deadly misinformation!
Oh stfu. My god. They’re not ‘idiots’ for sharing their thoughts on what we all think about. The flight attendant is the fuckin idiot, not the comedians. Dumb fuckin take.
They're not saying dumb things because they're dumb. They're saying scary things because fear sells. You don't get a million views for saying aircraft are safe and we've developed safe practices. You get a million views by spreading dangerous misinformation.
Congrats on the 4th stripe!!! And thank you for bringing valuable aviation information and knowledge to all of us.
Congratulations Kelsey! Making captain is such a huge achievement! So excited for you! 🎉
Often wealth and intelligence are inversely proportional.
As seen by the JAL flight in Japan the other day listen to your flight crew and do what they say...... everyone survived becuase they listened and got out safely
Congratulations on your captain promotion, Kelsey. This video is a great fact-check on the flying fear-inducing podcasts.
This Pilot saying having your seat back 2 inches is more impeding than the airlines reducing the space between seats down from 24” to 12” in the last 25 years is hilarious. Not agreeing with Matt or Dave, but you should use common sense.
If she was actually a flight attendant she would know better. As some who ACTUALLY went through AA Flight Attendant Training earlier this year, one of the first things they teach you is about the oxygen system and the fact that it DOES NOT use a tank for passengers, it’s a chemical reaction and the oxygen generator gets hot while creating oxygen for you to breathe. I simply think she bought the scarf that AA Flight Attendants wear threw on a “uniform” (that doesn’t even look like the one our female colleagues wear) and started spewing information that she got second hand or made up. It makes us actual flight attendants look bad
Passenger oxygen supply via bottles is a factory option on some aircraft. e.g. the Boeing 777. Certainly older aircraft such as the 747-400 had bottles only. Having said that, the so-called flight attendant is an idiot. Of course the slide was fixed and it would probably have been fixed within one flight day. The slide defect would have been deferred depending on number of passengers. If the flights were overwater, then the restrictions would have been greater.
I would imagine her employers wouldn’t like this, if in fact she works in the industry.
Yeah...I hope to god if she is a real attendant that I never get her on a flight...
She's totally fake.
she probably failed the training course and is pissed off with the airlines i would believe kelsey over those young idiots
Kelsey, very well said! I teacher middle school, and there is nothing more important than teaching students to be ethical and accurate. Expertise is highly respected in my books. Love your videos. Next time you’re in Winnipeg, I’ll show you the sites!! Haha.
“Shoot all the people who were not really dead” lmfao those guys embarrassed themselves on the internet with such stupidity. I love that you called them out.
My sister is a flight attendant and goes though recurrent training. Everyone thinks they are on the plane to serve as glorified servants. They are there for passengers safety.
If it’s any consolation, a few of us do know what cabin crew are for. A few of us pay attention during the safety briefing, follow the safety advice and wear a seatbelt at all times except when I get up.
I worked fast craft ferries for years and assisted with training. One of our first officers was also the regions head TO. He had a really good "ice breaker" speech for newbie crews starting training. It was along the lines of "you're not just here to pull pints, serve coffees and sell stuff in the gift shop. That's not even your primary job role. If that was all that was needed from you the company would fill that ship with vending machines and not bother with the expense of cabin crew. Your job is to save lives if/when things go wrong. If you think this job is going to be like Starbucks at sea then maybe you should leave now before wasting our and your own time". By the time we'd get the new starts, they'd already had 2 days of "customer service" training so that was our way to make it clear THIS is what the job actually was and it was time to really pay attention.
He's not wrong either. Training cabin crew even back when I was working there cost thousands but if they didn't pass, they were bounced even after investing that much money into them. As for recurring training, MCA regs for ship crew have certifications for some things and you'd have to recertify to keep the qualification. The ships would have regular drills and a log of crew performance was kept. Any individual crew member that failed in those drills often enough would be thrown shore side until retraining could be arranged or if it was bad enough, lose their job and if it's the ships master giving you the boot, they don't even have to go through the warnings process with HR.
Ships in British waters found in breach of regs can have massive fines brought down on the owner/operator and if it's a big enough breach, they can lose their licences to operate at all and have all their routes shut down.
I have heart pilots say: "The flight attendants first and most important job is to assure the safety of this flight and its passengers and crew. It's not to get you drinks or a snack, though they will be happy to do so when their primary job has been attended to, and it's safe to do so." Good to hear that i think.
I would not rely on those women to survive an emergency. Case and point is a rowdy passenger, flight attendants do not restrain them. They're good for alerting the captain and calling police and giving briefings but that's about it.
@@larrybolhuis1049 I wish I started learning sooner. I used to think of the flight crew as customer service. I feel stupid now. The industry makes the crew the final enforcers of countless rules and policies I never even considered.
You just casually added a 4th strip and didn’t mention it!? Congratulations, Captain Kelsey! As an up and coming PP, with commercial aspirations, you’re an inspiration!
Kelsey a captain now!! Nice work man. Been subscribed since near the beginning!!
I have said this MANY times before, but it bears repeating. A wrongful death lawsuit is MUCH more expensive than any injury lawsuit.
That's what I was thinking too... like "can the families of the dead not sue...?"
Accept in China
And if you tried to kill them (murder) you're in way more trouble than if you tried to save them (negligent homicide at worst)
That's not correct. There's more money in a lifetime crippling injury than a wrongful death. You have to consider the expenses for care and misery of every minute of everyday of a life-time injury and the impact of wheeling the injured person into court. A person suffering every minute for the rest of their life gets more than a dead person.
As an actual lawyer who has handled both types of cases--inter vivos "injuries" and wrongful death--let me give you the correct answer: it depends. It depends on damages and the level of culpability of the defendant. And there are also many state laws preventing non-dependents and/or non-citizen plaintiffs from bringing wrongful death lawsuits.
I worked for my county medical examiners office, I assisted investigation and removed many 10's of thousands of dead bodies...
I saw many things including plane crashes, and a few very strange things. But I can assure you that spines can not shoot through someones head.
I understand that spines absorb impact better vertically not horizontally hence the brace position.
I think the girl WAS a flight attendant and is now an adult film star and tries to get people funneled to her “exotic” content. So, the more viral her “flight only” content is, the more people watch other videos from her, slowly convincing them to look for “the other” content. It’s easy to mix true stuff with sensational stuff if your motive is only to create a funnel.
Yep. She's being deliberately misleading to further her OnlyFans. Garbage human.
This is getting ridiculous. I just saw a short with a female comedian, and she was terrible frankly. Apparently people only watch her because she also makes that kind of stuff. Weird times we live in...
@@Mountain-Man-3000is she on anything else besides only fans? Just want to make sure I don't accidentally see it. I want to make sure and block those sites.......
It's not that "exotic" I'd call it common 😂
That explains so much.
This is basically common sense of physics when something comes to an abrupt stop. Things come from behind....
As a former aircraft mechanic "influencers" like these are beyond aggravating. And to the "FA" who "reveal all"....Well...again, to us who, litterally, through blood and sweat pour all our pride and discipline into our work to make sure we are keeping aviation safety at top level; I hope I never meet her...
Also, our colleagues at the front of that plane do the same. Listen to them!
Thank you CAPTAIN Kelsey for helping ALL of us aviation professionals with your fantastic delivery of how it really is!
