When I did my navigation flight test for my PPL, the examiner gave me a route I wasn't happy with. The route as planned would have put me back at base with no fuel for a divertion. I told the examiner this and he said "Are you going to fly today or not?" I took another look at the route and asked who was PIC on this flight. He said "You are" so, my heart thumping like crazy I said "Well, sir, if you insist on this route, in my opinion it isnt safe to end up back here with insufficient fuel for a diversion." He looked at me coldly and said "THis airport hardly ever closes." I said "No, you're right....but it could." There was a moment of awful silence before he broke into a smile and said "Well done! NEVER let anyone, no matter how senior or experienced, bully you into taking a flight your not happy with. If you had agreed to fly the route, I would have failed you before we even boarded." He amended the route and I passed the checkride.

I've read a few similar accounts to yours, in this instance, where a F/O has over-ridden their Captain's decision about safety of the plane and refused to fly it with them. Like someone else has said here, if it don't look or feel right then don't do it. Well done on making that decision and hope that your flying career is taking off (pun intended 😉)! 👍🏼

That's as skilled examiner and IMO that's the point of practical exams, your judgement can be assessed in a way that it cannot on a written exam. When I was taking oral boards for Anesthesiology the senior examiner tried to get me to make a plan to anesthetize someone for a valve replacement who had critical aortic stenosis (very serious condition with a high risk of arrest on induction) without ability to place an arterial catheter (used to measure blood pressure constantly). He kept coming up with reasons to proceed even though it was not possible to place an arterial catheter. I wouldn't budge and finally he just broke a smile. I knew then the boards would be easy, I'd just use my best judgement and do the right thing and that's what they were looking for.

Fortunately, at the point where my sphincter muscles were about to give way and I was close to a panic attack, I came across a recreational park with a toilet. No pleasantries or passenger announcements; just total desertion of the bus and the momentum to break down the door if it had been occupied.

2 years ago when I was standing watch on the quarterdeck of my barge at about 0230, I had about 3 hours of watch left and had a similar situation. We had a berthing barge because our ship LHD 8 was under heavy maintenance. I couldn't leave my station to use the head because we had to run the sewage pumps on the barge and my watch buddy was off doing that for a while since he had never done it before. Thought I could let out a tiny fart to lessen the pressure on my sphincter, but that good ol' Navy taco tuesday got the best of me. That tiny little poot started as a tiny little poot, and ended in liquid poo. Once he got back I asked the officer of the deck if I could go to berthing real quick, he asked why. I straight up told him "I shit my pants sir", and he let me go to berthing. Between the end of my watch and turnover he told me about one of the chiefs standing OOD who shit himself on watch on a taco tuesday.

Quite some time ago I had a friend that was a pilot at Norwegian. He told a story about how they always had a little challenge between the pilot and copilot. You know how the captain always comes on the intercom and gives like a little flight information etc. The copilot would give him one word that he would have to put somewhere in his speech. This particular time it was the word ''butf'ck'' 😅 I guess it was a 737 something with 100+ passengers. He took the challenge. They were flying from London to somewhere south of France or Italy or something. He decided to rams up a couple of names of cities they would fly over trying to announce them as much as possible in the French way. Like Calais - Paris- Lion- Budfuque- etc. 😆 He got away with it. Wonder if there was any Frenchman on the plane thinking hmm Budfuque is a place I have never heard of 😏

"maybe its an electric shaver" - oh you.

Here is one for you! Back in the late 1990's I was working in China and ended up in Hong Kong to renew a visa. Ended up in a bar in Kowloon and met up with an Australian 747 flight crew. (It was in the days when they had a Pilot, Co-Pilot and Flight Engineer) It was about 2 AM and everyone was absolutely rotten drunk, and these guys were supposed to be flying out at 6 AM. I was talking to the Flight Engineer as he was the less pissed of the bunch, and could carry a conversation. One of the guys was slumped over the table, totally out of it, pissed out of his head on spirits, and I said to the Flight Engineer, "Jesus. if your captain sees the state you guys are in he will go Ape shit" The Engineer looks up, swigs another whisky, smiles and in a broad Australian accent says to me "Mate, that IS the fucXing captain!" Glad I wasn't on that early one out of HK! But a solid bunch, made in the same spirit as that other great Australian Airline, Ansett, lovely people!

At cruising altitude, the chocolate cake went volcanic in his intestinal tract.

Addicted to your channel. I grew up in aviation, literally. My dad was a pilot/mechanic/owner and operator of and airport in Manitoba, He passed away when I was young but my mom kept the business going for many a year until things went pear shaped. To say the least and we had to move, that was 20 years ago. Despite having to move on, and try and live a 'normal' life, I still have the urge to fly flowing threw my veins. Your channel and others like it ( Trent Palmer, Mike Patey, Mentour Pilot, Flight Test, Peter Sripol) have kept me sane, And have a hard time trying to comprehend the scale of a 747. We had to move it was to the city and to a 3 story apartment, and to hear you say that's the view from the cock pit, ground level, is mind blowing. I spent many an hour on the balcony looking out, a country kid, thinking this was awesome. I now know I was terribly mistaken, that Balcony could have been taxiing. IF for what ever reason your ever in YWG, i'd like to buy you a Tim's and say thanks for all the great information, not just content.

I thought the same thing. I've known a few ATC who have always said if they needed to squeeze an aircraft take off before the next plane comes in they give it to the cowboys who were always down for speeding their asses up to the runway and taking off lol

Southwest tends to lie about their speed and loves going fast.

I once refused a flight because i had already shit 3 times that day and my guts hurt and there was no way i was making it 4 hrs without a bathroom in a ratty kingair. I wasnt popular with the company after that, but it beats the alternative.

you know the captain in that last story was probably so traumatized that he walks around with a bucket to this day.

Where I worked we did some maintenance manuals for Air Force support carts. I illustrated the schematics that show the electrical, data, hydraulics and heating/AC for the carts. The schematics traced from the control to the equipment. I got bored so I added a bogus line that terminated in a small ceramic toilet. The writer was at first puzzled by the extra line, then burst out laughing when he traced it to the commode. It wasn’t in the final illustration, just in a temp file I made for the occasion. He pinned it up at his workstation. There are not a lot of laughs in the tech pub business and the guys appreciated my sense of humor.

One of these days one of the cockpit confessional stories is going to be Kelsey accidently sending the story title to dispatch in ACARS.

He could easily explain that one. I don't think there is anything illegal about typing random stuff in ACARS while you are waiting or something.

@@A.Lifecraft Oh yeah, I doubt anything bad would happen as a result. But it would be a hilarious story!

Oh my word, that reminds me of a story when I was flying as SLF. I boarded the aircraft and all was well. I might have had a few too many free beers to drink and then I fell asleep. I woke up just when we were on final approach. The seat belt signs were on but I decided to ignore them anyway and proceeded to walk to the toilet at the back. The flight attendant who was sitting in her jump seat there told me to go back to my seat. I patiently explained my situation to her, but she was adamant that I had to sit down and buckle up. I warned her that if I didn't pee NOW or she might have a smelly wet seat to clean up, but I had to return to my seat anyway. She was very good though. As soon as the spoilers were retracted she came to me and said I could use the toilet. I just barely managed to hold it in, so she didn't have a smelly wet seat to clean up and I didn't have any smelly wet pants to wear for the rest of day That is my little story about me for the night, so I bid you good night :)

I'm always packing my bags very carefully to avoid the "vibrating bag" thing (so far it worked). Someone should make protective cases for these things! 😂 I feel for the guy who crapped his pants; my building's elevator seems to break down every time I need to get to my apartment really fast. Walking up the stairs to the 4th floor _suck_ if you got to go to the bathroom asap.

Oh my God! “Here, crap in this bag!“… funniest aviation story I’ve ever heard, Kelsey!

I love his username being 74 gear and G being the 7th letter in the alphabet thus completing his username as 747

As a retired Air Traffic Controller, that has checked out to FPL in 3 different Centers, ZMP, ZME and ZAN, Sir do I have some stories for you. Great videos Kelsey.

I once had a full bowl evacuation as we took off from London for New York. I was in business class with my very senior boss sitting in front. It came as a complete surprise and presaged an illness that confined me to my hotel room for a week afterwards. I am proud to say that, with the help of a trusted purser, and the good fortune of flying with hand luggage only, I managed to remedy the situation with nobody suspecting (or being kind enough to pretend). Just to emphasise that this was a full evacuation at about 6-7 on the Bristol Stood Chart, possibly a good pint or so. Thank God for Delta Airlines’ wipe clean leatherette seat material.

10:44 the way that you say 'a some of you know that have been on the channel for a while you know back in the day i used to fly private jets' really makes it sound like it's you

That second story was hilarious. Gotta love SW pilots

I LUV how discreet you are!

I figured it was AA because they were known for aggressiveness back in the 1980s and 90s under Crandall, but I should’ve known it was SW.

Hi , keep up your Captain's stories they are the best. The "bring me two t-shirts , pants etc.. story" was absolutely hilarious. I laughed so much I cried. "You know it's only rock and roll."

Oh Kelsey, loving the channel fella. Just discovered it, not laughed so hard as I do at these pilot confessionals for a long time. Brilliant! Keep up the good work! ✈️

He must have been flying by the seat of his pants geez 🙄

"Accidently activated her vibrator" This made my day!!!

This made my whole day, really picked me up! Thank you

Gracious alive, I sure do love Aviation and the stories shared! God Bless!

Shoot I feel for the guy that......crapped in his pants........it's happened to me. Too much coffee. Good video All the best Shaun of NYC

I just get SO happy whenever you post! Especially cockpit confessions and flight attendant pranks! Your personality is just perfect for this! Thanks for staying here!!

Flight attendant wasn't smart enough to take the batteries out first?! 🤣 rookie move.

Kelsey, this was the funniest video I’ve seen. Your story telling is perfect!!

I think you had a really great colleague in that last one! To have the initiative to call for the air pump 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Kelsey. I love these stories!!! Deep from the trenches of the flight deck! Keep em coming!

8:07 Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while...

13:10 "Sit tight" literally.

Hi Kelsey ! Im a guy from Spain and I just discovered your channel one month ago and I subcribed straight ago.It is amazing! I have been working as a cabin chief for the last 15 years.Not working right now due to covid 19 and I miss flying a lot. I love your videos ,keep up the good work and wish you safe flights up there. greetings from Spain

"Known for flying and taxiing rather quickly". Oh, you mean South West?

I was guessing either American or Southwest but “known for fast taxi” is definitely Southwest.

My first thought was Continental (now United), because they have a hub in Houston, but the fast taxi part was a dead giveaway for Southwest.

hi jacob

Just love you channel. Keep the good work. Good flights.

I was an avionics technician/engineer on F-15's, F-16's, F-111's, and KC-135's. It's been years since reminiscing and this brings me back a bit. Thanks for the vids brother!!!

Kelsey, I would love to listen to stories from you about crosswind landings in the 747!

An airline that taxi’s quickly............Hmm, I wonder who that could be? “*cough* *cough* est”🤣

Respect for helping your colleague out so much like that, just helped him during a time of personal desperation - what a bro.

This is by far in my top 5 favs of your vids 🤣😂🤣 I think I tee teed myself 🤫🤷‍♀️ I hope we get to hear more of these stories. Thanks for the laughs 😘

Kelsey: Cockpit Confessionals, coming up! Me: evil smile of delight creases my face This really makes my day! Don't ask me why, lol!

I'm not a pilot or into aviation but I love this channel! Great job kelsey🙂 👏

Oh man some of these stories are so familiar ! From a buddy in the right seat with me having to really go to the bathroom when full speed in descent was 125 kts (not good for him), another pal also flying small piston charter having the same issue as your colleague and declaring a "Personal Emergency" to get landing priority, to a story one of my cabin attendants told about a similar situation you described involving a "Non-Vibrating Vibrator" during a Customs check :D

Thanks Kelsey, really enjoying the content.

Pilots: Sarah why did you bring that?! There are two of us. 🤣

Pan Pan! I'm declaring a stool emergency! Request emergency landing and a gate near a bathroom, Over!

My bag started vibrating once. It was an older Sonicare Toothbrush, which was audibly loud like a cellphone on a desk. Everyone in my group started looking at my bag. So I quickly opened it to show everyone and turn it off. But TSA went through my bag, and everything was unfolded and tossed about. Before I could find it, the group started moving, and I had to pull my bag through a crowd with it vibrating. The soft case it comes with really sucks. You have to put a cap on the brush, take the head off, and place it next to the body of the toothbrush. The way it stacks in the little bag, the hard acrylic cap lines up with the power button. So even though it’s on a 2 minute timer, every bump sets it off. It happens all the time, but that time it happened in front of a ton of people.

I laughed so hard at the Code Brown story I was crying! 🤦‍♂️ So it’s not just in my line of work that we have to deal with these Codes! 😂🤦‍♂️ Love your channel! Thanks for the great tips to low hour pilots like myself! 👍

love this series please keep these videos coming!! Love your content! I want to be a pilot when I get older!

One night while working approach control: Me: "sir, say the nature of your emergency." F14 Pilot: "Uh" *unkeys* "Uh" *unkeys again* "I'm experiencing intestinal distress." Me: "Ah. Got it. Proceed direct to Oceana and report the airport in sight. Signal Buster."

Love the videos man great comms content

Thanks for sharing these stories.
