Denys! United Airlines 737 Pilot here. You should get your FAA ratings and come fly here in the US! I love both of your channels. Long time listener and supporter. My wife is Lithuanian and we spend a lot of time in Vilnius. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

@@Aviatior_Alex09 Its incredibly hard to get a visa for the USA. An employer (in his case, an airline) needs to sponsor him. In order to be eligible as a sponsor, one of the things the employer needs to prove, is that he cannot find a local (so someone in the US) to do the job.
Hi Denys, jet2 and Tui are hiring 737 pilots in the UK. Glad to see you back here. Good luck with your next airline.
Thank you Denys, to share your experience with us. You are a very patience man, I can see. ❤ I love it. God bless you. 🙏🏾
Denis, let me reassure you this was not your fault. That year Emirates got 777 crashed in Dubai, and one of results of investigation was to suddenly increase minimum requirements for new hire pilots. I have another friend who felt victim of this, and even more terribly - he had passed interview for EK, got job offer, resign from his previous job, and just few days before start with EK got email "sorry, we don't need you anymore...". This was really bad, took a long time for him to recover and find a new place. So your situation was not the worst one. For now I would suggest you to think about flying in North America, a lot of jobs here and opportunities for future life for you and family. and of course, Slava Ukraini!

He really doesn’t need it (like at all). With him having slipped the border guards some moolah (💰) to jump ship on his home and country and now running his war channel, he’s banking what would easily be 15-50 times that which he’d ever hope to make at the point of retirement in the US, on a flagship carrier, and as captain of a flagship aircraft (747/a380/a350/787/777)…

Thank you for sharing this, Denys. It was very interesting to hear about this gruelling testing. Well done indeed for passing it, but it sounds as though life in Dubai would not have suited your family very well. I do hope you will be able to resume your career soon. 🛩💙💛🛩
Great to have your Pilot Blog back. Great story about such a rigorous job competition. Your channels are great.
Exactly the same happened to a friend of mine. He passed in all of the tests but at the end of the day, he was told he wasn't among the best of the best. He is okay, because after one month he got hired by Catar Airlines to fly the triple seven where he is so far. Best regards from Brazil.🇧🇷🇺🇦
AMY FRIEND YOU’RE BACK! Best of luck to you Denys 💪
Very interesting to look behind the scenes how such a interview as pilot is working👍🏼
Thank you. You explained beautifully, so I felt like I was with you in your journey.
Happy to see you back on the aviation channel!
I'm happy to see you back. I post when you have the first time. Get all the classes x being hired by United and fly ur skies in USA.
Thank you for the detailed explanation of the process Captain! It was very informative.
Great to have you back! I missed your videos
Thanks a lot! for this video Denys , this information is helping me so much to understand more how Emirates interview is and all the requirements that we need too , personally I’m still building flight time ( comercial career ) and of course i dream with a pilot job abroad some day because in my country the salaries and life quality unfortunately are not the best , greetings from🇲🇽
Hey Denys!!!!! ❤✈ Thanks for your presence!!!! Cool studio 😉 Stay awesome Denys!!!!! Xx.........
Hello Denys:)! Yes I enjoyed hearing about your interview process:)! I will continue to watch and like whatever videos you decide to post here and on your other channel:). And, of course, I will continue to lie them to do my bit to help out:)! Have a great wee, and I look forward to your next video and with you and your amily all the best:)! Lee
Great one, Denys,i haven't seen a pilot video fkr some time, stupi YT notifications. Keep your head upm sounds like there are pilots out in your channel who support you!
Thanks! Very interesting. Life is Indeed unpredictable. Good luck in the future, whatever you choose.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Denys!
I wish you all the very best for your next session Denys!
OMG, Denys. I didn't know you also have a pilot blog. I'm passionate for Ukraine, but also for airplanes. When war is over, I definitely will book a flight with you and say hello to the cickpit after landed.
Really nice presentation Denys. I wish you success in your flying future but it is obvious that you will be extremely successful without wishes. Your personality is your biggest asset and you have a great one!!! If I could have a wish it would be for you to take a flight with me in my 172.
Dude, sorry to hear that you didn't get the job. The sandbox does require some adjustment. You may be happier in Europe, or even the US. Good luck in the future.
Good work, you passed it of course and now it's on your CV ready for the next one.
Very interesting and informative Denys. You would be my pilot any day
OMG you Finnaly posted

Hello Captain! I am the old Mohammed Ammar, Thanks a lot for making such a valuable and informative video! I learned some very important and crucial points about pilot employment from such as the importance of being fluent in English language, having an active memory, being good at doing basic-intermediate level maths, Communication skills and building up the right personality etc. Although I did know couple of these points from before, I learned in what way and why they are so important. Thanks once again for this video captain! Stay safe! Bye!
Thank you for your very honest report
Loving these BG images
Thank you for video, very interesting 😎🤙
Very interessting captain. The climate issue should not be underestimated, especially with family and kids. Hope you will have a job opportunity in Europe.
# WE SUCCESSFULLY FAILED WHAT A COURAGEOUS MAN
Hey Denys. Coincidentally I joined in 2016. Your video is SPOT ON.
Thank you Denis, it`s very interesting. I hope, they did it with you with your permission. Because it looks like torture..
I'm glad that you are still alive and not in a muddy trench being shelled.
Magical video.
Fascinating to listen to this and thanks. Place sounds too hot for staying there too long. Europes often too cold. Try US or Australia.
I love your videos so much. But if you can’t find an airline to enlist in, I recommend coming to the U.S and start flying for Delta as it’s the best airline in the U.S. (In my opinion). Or instead of Delta go to United as it is just as good!
Hope you get back with UIA as soon as possible, Denys.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much for the video
Happy to come across your channel. Hi from your colleague in aviation and a fellow Ukrainian. Слава Україні 🇺🇦
Ever thought of applying to South African Airways, Luft , or Safair ( all South Africa airlines ) they say we have a shortage of pilots. Great scenery, beaches, Cape Town is a great place to live. Basically a Eurocentric African American city. All major airlines fly here. Cape Town int airports rated among the best airports. Lots of 737 s used by local airline.
Dear Denys. Thank you very much for your honest words. Your talk was very interesting! Happy flying to you - and hopefully all the best to ukraine!
Hey good luck with your job search. I’d enjoy flying with you here at AA if you can figure out how to get here!
When I was in Dubai the habbobs were terrible but, they pass as quickly as they appeared. Thankfully, I never had any lasting respiratory issues.
Come back to Indonesia capt, but this time with Lion or Batik, worth to try… :)
F’k that. They need pilots. Pilots are a unique group of people who have a unique skill. What you cannot control is personalities. From my experience those personalities have a way of being dealt with. Humans are not robots. Trying to fit a large group of people into a narrow funnel ultimately will result into a “borg” like group. No free thought, or perspective. Aviation attracts abstract individuals with free thought. In my opinion, that is key to success. Never think your the smartest person in the room.
Come back dennys ,we want to see you on cockpit soon ❤❤
Hi,Denys,try in Kuwait as pilot in Kuwait Airways,Jazeera Airways.Definitely you will get selected in any one of the company here because they are now openly welcoming foreign pilots.Also,definitely there will be a huge salary hike in your career

On the the topic of airlines which are hard to get a job with, Emirates is among those mentioned quite often. Dont know if this is true but i heard its not just pilots, its equally hard for flight attendands aswell. Emirates has quite tough hiring standards. Others that are often mentioned are : Qatar, Singapore and Lufthansa
When will you be doing day 3 of your 'getting in shape' series?
Hello Denys! Just wondering if you applied for any other airline in the gulf such as qatar, etihad, oman air, saudia etc...
Norwegian Airline is hiring Pilots, I think, they are a very great Airline with their B737's. You should try them. 😊👍🏻
Denis, i know nothing about pilot qualifications here in the USA. What I can confirm is there is definitely a pilot shortage. United Airlines has opened a flight school in Phoenix AZ metropolitan area. According to Travel and Leisure magazine, United hopes to train 5,000 new pilots by 2030. Delta was running a “guaranteed” interview program. (unsure of program status at this time). There are several other major carriers that are covering the cost of pilot training. I know you are an experienced pilot and schooling is not what you are looking for. I am just using these efforts by the airline industry to point out that pilots are very much needed in the USA. Companies are pulling out all the stops to get qualified pilots in the pipeline. Well, just something to think about Denis. I am glad I stumbled on this channel. I watch your Ukraine videos, so I knew it existed. Since I have connections to airplanes, I thought the topic would not interest me. I should have known you as the presenter. Very interesting even for a neophyte. Thank you and Slava, Ukraine! Always..👵🏻🌵🇺🇸✈️ 🇺🇦
Hope to see you in the captains seat one day again soon!!!
KZread offered me the video "Why Did I Resign From Emirates Airline" from Caner Acarbay in the Related section. As someone who probably values work-life balance over a huge salary, you probably dodged a bullet there. In the comment section under that video, there was another ex-Emirates pilot who was fired during the Covid times [probably] because he'd used too much sick leave because of his skin cancer. The guy in the video made it to the US, as did the commenter who's beaten his skin cancer - I don't know the details, but I wager that getting a working visa as a "skilled worker" is not impossible.
So many options nowawadays, best time to be a pilot. Etihad, Flydubai, Qatar, the new Riyadh airline, all desperately hiring.
Man, that sounded profoundly stressful. I'm thinking of changing careers to be a pro pilot. I wonder if a region airline interview would be anything like that.

Dang, after passing that testing procedure, you could work for the Secret Service (they protect the US president)😮 There's an airline, Jet Blue, that's often in the news about something negative. Try to avoid that airline. Hope you find a bird and soar the skies again.

Pilot job is the best job in the world
Honestly I think you dodged a bullet with that one. I’ve heard bad things about Middle Eastern Airlines, particularly Qatar. I’ve heard the work life balance is terrible and life in Dubai is very restrictive by Western standards. Long work hours with high levels of fatigue seem common.
@MrA-km8ws

Its hard to believe your claims when high volume of expats make up middle east workforce. Pilots and their families are living the life pretty ok in middle east with tax free earnings. In the west and anywhere airlines are facing many accusations of pilot fatigue due to heavy duty during busy travel schedule. Do you always go by rumours ? Or is it a bunch of hate preachers who will take every little shortcoming as major negative thing ? I know friends who are pilots even in qatar airways and been at airline for 10+ years and still going. These very same experts who are quick to attack decent airlines are same who attack airline like delta airlines and Cathay Pacific some over reactors make claims that you will need to live of sandwiches and poor life as pilot in Hong Kong yet I come across expats who went from junior first officer and now senior pilots in the airline. Honestly speaking your experience is what you make it and how you behave. People love lifestyle in middle east and tax free perks and benefits why else is the country growing rapidly and tourism so high ? ...I guess people who want to get drunk and embarrass themselves in public and have wild fantasies then just stick to the western part of world.
Hello Denis, if i where you, i would try, getting a job in turkish airlines or pegasus airlines. I think that they would hire you there..
Check Ryan Air or KLM
Him, "Basic math." Me, "That's advanced trigonometry!"
I have a question, how do pilots keep their planes speed stable on landing without needing to adjust the throttle
@CTRBvideos
5 ай бұрын
Im not 100% sure, but there's a system called "Autothrottle" which is dependent on the autopilot systems, specifically the Speed knob which allows you to select a specific speed. If you in put 140kts on the speed portion of the autopilot, the autothrottle will find a way to keep it 140kts at all times, unless its at stall speed then the plane will go full throttle automatically. BUT, at the same time i think most pilots and airline procedures disconnect the autothrottle during the approach or when about to land, so really its just pilot skill and knowing how much thrust to apply to keep a steady speed.
@Aerogamer158
5 ай бұрын
A/T adjusts the fuel flow to maintain the desired thrust to keep your plane at the selected speed set on the AFCS. Or you fly it manually and use the thrust levers to maintain the desired airspeed. At some point above the touchdown altitude the thrust is moved to the flight idle gate and you flare to land.
Hello bro Please so are the paper exams compulsory
Did you have to do a chest X-RAY for medical, EEG , ECG etc… seems pretty easy medical check up… can you be kind enough to reply. also Emirates life as a pilot is hectic .. no work life balance… I would say you got lucky and saved your health…
Come fly for American or United. We'd love to have you
Привіт, Слава Україні! No way is Emirates the best airline to fly for. USA has the best work contracts, conditions, pay, and Unions. I know current/Ex Emirates pilots. I wouldn’t want to work there. Hopefully you can find something around the world with your ATR or 737 type ratings.
You can next time bro.
I have been for some of those more complex interviews. Feels good when you do well. Those psych tests are hard tho. I was asked about my "dominance masking". Why do I pretend to be less dominant than I am? In my mind this was wrong. I'm quick to call out mistakes and to call out idiots, happy to make plans but I don't care to be the leader. So I had to explain away the results and be less than honest... I got the job, and it turned out to be a terrible company. In the end, I found a great job.
How did you fail the first time?
