25 Things Airline Pilots Don't Want You to Know?

A fan sent me this article recently and I decided to make a video about the 25 things airline pilots do in the cockpit that they don't want you to know about:

I fell asleep flying Microsoft Flight Simulator one time, the altitude horn woke me up and I landed safely. The passengers had no idea.

I'm surprised they didn't say the "engines" are actually cooling fans for the pilots. Usually when they turn off, the pilot starts sweating.

"Plane can't maintain altitude when tanks are empty"
Yeah, that's why they are usually filled with fuel.

"PIlots love landings".... beats the f*ck out of all the alternatives, doesn't it.

I still remember early in my career, I was walking through the airport in full uniform and a little kid was looking at me with this look of awe! I walked a little taller, until I heard him say, "look mommy, a policeman!" The only time my uniform got me any respect.

I'm definitely gonna go around the airport saluting pilots now for reactions

"oh no updraft...well, looks like we're going to space!"

I spent about twenty years flying right seat with my dad (either in his Mooney or A-36)... was fun to work the navs and comms and even fly the plane a little here and there (no I’m no pilot at all). BUT, that hummm of the plane and general feeling while flying pretty much gave me narcolepsy lol... the first 30-60 minutes after wheels up on cross country flights I always had to fight off the naps as hard as I could, I would often just give in and nap but I’m no professional pilot so I guess I’m allowed to nap in the right seat lol. When dad would catch me napping he’d bank or nose down hard enough to wake my ass up lol. Anyways I lost dad to cancer a little over a year ago (he was 61 and it was a sudden onset of stomach cancer). Those right seat memories I have with him are some of the best I have!

26: we aren't actually in the plane. Right before takeoff we jump out and grab a remote control to control the plane

"Suck with confidence" is one of the best things I've heard today.

"boeing 777 will struggle to maintain altitude once the fuel tanks are empty"

my stomach hurts

[beckydoesit]

It's all auto pilot. The pilot is just there to type in the captcha.

"Attention passengers this is your captain speaking, we have hit a slight updraft and we will now be vertically launched upwards into space. Don't worry, we will be landing on the moon shortly. We'll be about 20 minutes behind schedule, thank you for flying southwest airlines"

"We're not robots!" That's something a robot would say...

[quinnmclaughlin]

At 7:01 he says “we’re not robots”. I don’t know but that sounds a lot like something a robot would say.

[slycordinator]

"Pilots don't want you to know that their uniforms command respect"

Sounds like something pilots would *want* us to know, if true.

“Suck with confidence, lose with honor” I think I’ve found myself a new life motto!

Number 26: The reason Jack Daniels and Jim Beam bottles have flattened sides; So they don't roll around on the flight deck. :P

Great video as usual. Thank You for being honest and real. My wife and I fly often (domestic US) and I've told her several times, "Hey, the flight crew are well trained, competent, qualified professionals who want to get home safely to their families as much as we do". Also, THANK YOU for your service. Our men and women who serve and have served deserve our support, respect, and admiration.
