Well that was a great commentary and hell of a video :DD Had a nice time watching, thanks Captain!

I have already been watched this content in recent days but watching it through a captain's point of view is a privilage 👌 Greetings from Antalya, Turkey 🇹🇷

Dude, I freaking love this video. It really does a good job of showing the difficulties of the career in a fun down to Earth way. I remember one time I bid a trip to JFK cause I was gonna get a 15 hour layover in Jersey City at a hotel I like right in downtown. Well it turns out they changed it for one in front of the Jersey Gardens mall. On top of that, it was rush hour and took us 2 hours to get there to cross Manhattan to get there. The morning was the same with traffic. In the end, the layover ended up being only 11 hours (100% legal minimal rest). I was so pissed just like the poor guy! XD I never bid another 15 hour layover again! 😂

Denys!!!!! Stay Awesome ❤✈ Hopefully Home Sweet Home can come back soon!!!!! Many thanks for this video 💕💕 Xx..........

Denys, thanks for sharing this with us. It's always fun seeing others work humor. I found your reactions very funny. Some of the radio chatter can be very funny. While flying with a friend we were diverted because of some military "Shenanigans" (this was the actual word used on the radio) when some F-16's were in our area. It must be fun! Boys and their toys.

you should consider doing video analyzes more often it's interesting I like your content and a lot of courage to you

Hi dennis! Thank you for your commentary videos I gain a diffrent perspective🎉👑

Denys, nice video! Don’t know if I was a passenger on your flights but I was frequently on UIA and windrose flights

Hello enys:)! Very enjoyable video:)! I can definitely relate to some of what is presented here, though I was a Flight Attendant instead of a Pilot. As you say, many things related to working hours are controlled either by the country your carrier is based out o, or by your negotiated contract. One thing that you didn't explain was what "Duty Time" is compared to "Flight Time." Still, I know exactly what you mean by each of those:). Also, one thing the video failed to mention is the random "Drug Screenings" that often go along with international flights. They can eat away at your time off as well. In general, though, the video was very interesting and funny:)! Thanks or sharing it with all of us, and I wish you and your family an awesome week:)! Lee

Hi Pilot Blog! What is the hardest job in your eyes? Being the Pilot or the Co-Pilot while flying the aircraft? Also great video! Keep it up!

Sometimes i feel excausted as a passenger, so for the pilots and cabin crew is way harder if you think that the scedule is 24-7.

Same, every time I fly, I can’t sleep because I have to make sure I wake up 3 hours early to beat traffic and lines. And it’s also a mix of anxiety and excitement. And I literally feel like a zombie while traveling until I get to the hotel. I remember only getting 2 hrs of sleep when I flew to Hawaii. Then when we got to our place, we weren’t allowed to check in yet. We had to wait 2 hours outside to check in. And we had groceries with dairy. I just wanted to sleep. But my aunt wanted to start exploring already 😅 she’s the only one who got enough sleep. A good 7 hrs.

Thanks Denys, funny reactions for sure and a good story from ZBS😅

Yes! He’s back!

Ive Been a long time viewer and subscriber of your content Denys keep up the good work!

Wojak and ZBS will become a legendary channel lol. I'm a trucker and was very amused by the trucker video depiction.

the funny thing with “rest period” is its based on how much money the airline will lose the longer you stay on the ground. I mean, rest period starts right after chocks in. While you are literally walking yourself outside of the cabin, through immigration, and exit the airport and repo your ass on the shuttle service to your hotel, REST PERIOD has already commenced. Your drive to work already saps your energy And your duty time starts an hour and forty five minutes before departure, your rate only starts once you have sent your acars(attendance) from inside the cockpit of the aircraft. But with all the papers you have to go through (diversion airports, certificates, weather reports, notices to airmen, flight plan, etc) reporting on time would literally mean you’ll be unprepared for the flight. Then you get the f*king jet lag. Today you fly to a +3 utc, four days later, you are back home to a +9 utc with one day off only to fly the following day a 16 hour flight to a -5 utc. You haven’t even recovered from the jetlag from your previous flight, you are already battling a 16 hour shift. And, the most important part, every 6 months, we undergo proficiency checks where literally our jobs are at risk. The test involves a series of ‘’god says fuck you’’ type of events in a span of 2 hours. During your day offs, you also have to answer to emails and you also have to do computer based trainings which have exams btw. Each enrolment have exams at the end of the lesson, you fail those exams, you get grounded with no pay. You need a different type of mentality to get yourself in to this kind of profession. Pursuit of money is not enough to get you to stay in it. Its not the most difficult job or the most dangerous, but it’s a damn pretty hard job for sure.

In EASA (Europe) rest time is the same as previous duty time or 10 hours whichever is greater. I can't imagine how good it would be if our rest time was twice as much as duty time, but fortunately it is not and many pilots operate even night duties of over 10-12 hours with only just enough time to get to the hotel, have some food, sleep and go back to work.

Good insight on the tribulations of being a pilot. My cousin flies for a commercial airline in the States, maybe I'll send this to him. 😂

Here in Mexico, I live about an hour away from the AICM (Mexico City's International Airport), and there's a hotel near my house. I've seen multiple times how some airplane crews arrive at that hotel, and I have always thought that it must be extremely annoying for them to be so far from the airport, especially since, during peak hours, the traffic from the hotel to the AICM can take around 2 or even 3 hours. The only good thing is that it is a very comfortable 4-star hotel.

PB has the cutest accent on YT no changing my mind

What a nice video, cap!

It was a very interesting video. It reminded me of when I actually took the first piloting exam for Turkish Airlines. At the time, I didn't even consider the cost of the education, even though I stopped studying for the second stage of the exam due to something else that came up that year. Now, I find it hilarious

Not providing hotel rooms and then fire people for sleeping on floor is good trick 🥴 Was Ryanair shorting crew and they took this as a great opportunity to fire some people? 😅

Zero Budget + Denys = best combination of both worlds ❤ loved it! Greetings and Glory to Ukraine

i love your videos because your the goodest pilot

Afaik Wizzair gives you free food, according last year briefing given pre-assessment. Ryanair now gives you a free 0.5 l water bottle/leg, but started recently (like 2 years ago).

Ahh yes, Zero budget story’s, the most accurate thing to adulthood.

There is no double of duty time for the rest time regarding the EASA regulations. So after 12 hours duty 12 hours rest time is legal. Can be reduced by the pic to 10h.

Nice

I think it would be interesting to talk about psychotherapy and pilots. I'm not in the buisness of being a pilot yet. But it feels like psychotherapy is a very harmful thing for your medical certificate. It's kind of paradox. If someone goes to therapy, most people think that he or she must have a mental illness. But that's not always the case. Sometimes a loved one dies or other tragic events happen. If pilots are "scared" to go to therapy, when they have encountered a tragic situation in their life, it will definitely affect their work quality and probably perform worse. And it might be even more dangerous because they might be thinking about something else while flying and having lots of passengers lives in their hands. It's paradox because going to therapy looks like someone is ill, but if they don't go to therapy and they have an "illness", but hide it, it will be even worse. But keep in mind I don't know how true it is what I wrote. It's just something I feel like observed. Maybe I'm totally wrong.

Hello and have a nice day 😉

Rest has been equal to duty on a few occasions. ZA regulations are a bit iffy though

I’m very lucky. In Poland we have universities that provide ATPL training for free. The only requirement is to obtain a PPL license, which costs around 6000-7000$ here

Is duty time paid for? Or only flight hours

Hey pilot blog I’m almost in high school and I know what classes to apply for. What class should I apply for?

Dude, in low fair airlines like Ryanair you pay for everything theese days. Except maybe the bolier water. The cabin crew brings their own drinks and that's how you can have a 'free' coffe.

Security… ATL based for 11 years. As an airline crew, we parked in the airline parking lot, took the airline bus to underneath terminal C or D and went right in, NO security, until…. Delta employees got caught running guns between New York and Atlanta.. then WE had to get to work earlier to allow time for security, but Delta still didn’t have to go through security… 121.5=delta radio, any US pilots will get it.

I want to be a pilot so bad. I don't care about the money, I just want to fly planes cause I love PLANES.

Given the pilot shortage I've read about, I'm surprised airlines don't start offering subsidized flight training to the most promising flight students. Then we might not have so many canceled flight delays due to unavailable crews. Not sure what to make of this guy doing the commentary. Get a vaguely evil vibe from him. Look at the way he laughs at 14.57, its like a devil laugh, right?

3:25 they do random checks on inflight crew because smuggling. Some people abuse their privileges and smuggle drugs. It has happened numerous times on international flights to or from the States . It has even happened in the states on domestic flights.

I always just assumed airports had an on-site hotel for crews.

I hadn't watched this video yet, so have killed two birds with one stone! I do find his videos quite funny, and can confirm the life of a bus driver video is sadly accurate.

Without regulations, airlines would be working pilots like mules non-stop!

About duty times talking from short haul side- rest time is atleast 10 h or the same time as the duty if its longer.
