A Realistic 3 Day Trip as an Airline Pilot

Ойын-сауық

So excited to share this video with you all- here's a 3 day trip that includes a little bit of commuting, delays, reroutes and gives you a more realistic idea of some of the things that happen in the aviation industry. Industry wide- not everything goes as planned- and that's all a part of the territory. It's best to do the best you can, focus on the mission, go with the flow and make the most of it.
I have been absolutely enjoying going to work lately and can't wait to share more with you down the road, and as always, thank you so much for your support! (:

    ​@Saramaikat can you make a video on how to become a pilot for teens . My girl is 8 years old she is crazy about becoming a pilot. How should I groom her in becoming a pilot. Which schools should I send her. Can you please make a video on how you got motivated. There is lot of info on the internet but not proper steps how to become a pilot with low cost ,schools,scholarships etc.. how early can someone become commercial pilot etc.. thank you

    Girl, I love your commitment and passion for being a pilot. I have flight anxiety and every time I fly we always hit decent amounts of turbulence and be it 10 hours or even just 3 hours, it's torture for me, especially since I can't sleep... 😕 I have so much respect for the pilots who get us all there safely. I know it can get sketchy but you're the professionals and I try to thank the pilots each time I de-plane. You go girl, Captain soon, yes? Oh and you're so gorgeous 😀 Love and Safe travels!! :-))))))))
