Hey Pilot Blog! Thanks for this awesome reaction to my video. It’s always a pleasure to have the insights of an experienced pilot! I tried to do my best to accurately represent the struggles of the job! Thank you again :)

[syntaxerror]

Keep up the amazing work! This is not just a reaction, it's a full analysis!

[Alistajaupseeri]

This is an prime example of what a reaction video should be. A proper analysis.

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.

Professions like that of airline pilots hold a special glamour in people's imaginations. They are associated with intelligence, boldness, attractiveness, and courage. In short, there is an image of all things good. Pilots tend to be vain about the type and size of the planes they operate, the uniforms they wear, and the positive perceptions people have of them. Movies like Top Gun and others have greatly contributed to building this image. Employers are well aware of this, and in my view, this is a huge disadvantage because many of us overvalue the profession as if it only had advantages and is a wonderful life: beautiful women and men, luxurious hotels, outings, and basically paid vacations, which is far from the truth. Employers know this very well and masterfully exploit this vanity and our profession, which is just a grand illusion. By the way, I've been a pilot for 30 years, 26 of those as an airline pilot, and this is not just an opinion but a conclusion from someone who lives and observes the reality of the profession from the inside. What I see is the quality of work only decreasing since 1998.

In Sweden becoming Pilot is not only free, the state also pays you just to go to college

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.

Ryanair out here thinking they got a reputation worth firing pilots like that

Here in Brazil, The cost to become a commercial pilot is 180 thousand to 200 thousand, and private is 50 thousand to 100 thousand. Everything is expensive here 💩🇧🇷💩

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! 😂

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.

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

[kworld]

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

[LeeColes]

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:)!
