When pilots act like flight attendants Hank oh my god
crewfie this is mean but pretty realistic lately I've been commenting a lot more
on Instagram and since then people have started sending me aviation memes so I
thought why not share them with the 74 crew so aviation means coming up
hey 74 crew welcome back if you don't know me my name is
Kelsey I'm a 747 pilot my channel 74 gear is all about aviation today I'm in
Dallas Texas as you probably noticed from the intro this is the view here
from the hotel a lot of people have been asking for some more footage of where
I'm at in the world so I thought I'd start sharing them with you anyways
let's get into the aviation means rough landing but did you die okay
so I've had people come up to me and they say oh that was the greatest
landing ever and me and the other pilot look at each other like really cuz that
one was kind of bad but at the end of the day if you've arrived safely even if
it was a hard landing hey we're not all perfect
voila madam your hotel rooms the view iit leaves you speechless no yeah so
this is sometimes the case you might get to the coolest hotel and you'll have a
really short overnight and you have this amazing view and you want to do
everything in this city and then you might have a very long overnight in a
place that you're like it's not really the place I want to be but this is
really true as a crew member a lot of times when you finish your long trip if
you get there especially if you didn't sleep well during your rest period and
you get to the hotel you're like oh man I just really wish I had the energy to
go out and enjoy this city but your time to be a crew member so this is part of
it 9.5 hour layover 30 hour layover yes
this is exactly this is actually just what I was talking about I've had hotel
rooms that are so awesome and you get there do you think why do I only
have 11 hours here or the city that you want to be in that's really awesome if
you're a crew member you know this is always how it works out you have the
long layovers and the places that you
don't want to be at and it's usually a crappy hotel room waiting on that VFR
pilot to finish their request okay that's just mean so a VFR pilot if
you're if you're not a pilot a VFR pilot is generally a person who is not a
professional pilot they're flying in day weathered or they're flying in normal
everyday conditions basically and obviously most of the times those are
newer pilots so they're a little slower on the radio and don't speak that
concisely so basically what they're saying here is airline pilots are
listening to these guys make radio calls and we're just so frustrated and when I
was a new pilot I always thought airline pilots are
listening to me going dude hurry up anyway
for the most part airline pilots know that we were there too so don't worry
about it make the radio call that you need to
make and if you can do things to improve I got a bunch of videos talking about
how to make radio communications premature evacuation all right so I
actually saw this happen I was doing a walk around years ago in Toronto and two
flight attendants blew a slide and I would do my walk-around I just see the
slide shooting out of the door and I looked over and I could see on their
face they're both were just staring out like oh no at all I can I just felt bad
for them it happens actually more often than you think I've only seen it happen
one time it's got to be very embarrassing for the crew members that
are up there they do a whole cross-check and things like that but pretty much
your evacuation it happens right I mean it happens to the best of us me trying
to explain my worst schedule to friends yeah this it actually would be better if
it said it me trying to explain how to bid to a new crew member because it is
so complex and so diverse of okay if you want this you need this and there's all
these different types of bidding systems but this is so true if you're explaining
how to bid for someone I think that would be a better explanation for this
trying to explain how to bid to a new person and I used to do that especially
when I was at the regionals new flight attempts would come and I would tell
them hey this is what you need to bid and a lot of times I would just take
their phone and I would just start bidding for them what do you want okay
this is how you're gonna bid this and I would kind
teach them as I go but this is really true feeling lonely squats 7500 so
there's a code that we put into the aircraft before we take off and that
helps air traffic control to be able to track our plane but this isn't something
you'd really wanted to if you were feeling lonely obviously but it is a
code that you'd send out and that would get a lot of people calling you on the
radio right away and you get some fighter jets there before you knew it
and they'd be flying along looking and trying to talk to you and communicate
with you so that's what squawks 7500 means I only date bad boys meaning once
so basically what the would there say it is you bracele breaking the rules so
it's the max speed that the aircraft can go you can see it by that red line at
160 knots and he's doing 165 or maybe this is miles per hour because oh no
it's not yeah so he's supposed to be doing at the max 160 knots and he's
going past that I don't know anybody that's flying assess in that fast a lot
of these engines on these smaller aircraft now don't have the same power
that they once had when they first made them but if you want a bad boy then you
want this guy when ATC says stand by for full yes so a full route clearance is
basically like when you file a flight plan and you're saying you're going from
LA to Miami they put you on a bunch of different routes all the way there
different roads in the sky if you will and that is something that the airline
will file for us what this is basically saying is air traffic control ATC is
basically giving you a whole new route which means you have to write it down by
hand and then reload it into your computer and it's super annoying now my
next question is what this guy put headphones on a baby and then the baby's
crying and he's still leaving along there but how I feel after a perfect
landing yes even today every time I think of pilot no matter if you're brand
new or you have 5 or 7 thousand hours it's always gonna be the case I think no
matter how long you're gonna be flying because we all know that's what we're
judged on so after a perfect landing I always feel like this female crew
visiting cock picked male crew Pacifica yeah this is probably true a lot of
times when we're up there especially again when I was flying
passengers a lot more we'd have jump Cedars people that are just catching a
ride and you would hear a female's voice and both both pilots especially we have
another guy we would both turn around if you hear a guy's voices you coming up
like hey guys oh yeah hey what's up man it's a I don't know we're dudes were
stuck in a box I don't know what to tell you but this is pretty true sleeps with
a pilot finds out he was only the first just mean okay we all have to start
somewhere so first officer you got three bars a captain you have four bars
obviously if you're a first officer you're getting paid a lot less than a
captain so they're just making fun of us and that's not nice because we're people
too in every hotel room there is always a light you don't know how to turn off
yes this is so true this actually happened in this hotel room when I got
in here this is kind of a strange layout of a hotel room and last night I got in
kind of late I grabbed some food and doing some work
on after YouTube applying to some comments and things like that and doing
some Instagram because that's what I do with my life at night but there was a
light over by the bathroom what you can't see which is all the way over
there and I could not get it to turn out and I was walking around I was trying to
hit all these different buttons I get it turn out if I could not get it to turn
off and it is so frustrating especially when you're tired and ready to go to bed
but I eventually hit the button in the right way to get it to turn out but
sometimes there's these but these lights and you can't find it and there's just
like computer switch on the other side of the room especially in Asia a lot and
at nighttime you just want to turn the lights off and go to sleep but it's so
true every now and again there's a hotel room and there's light over here that I
could not get to turn on I don't know so these hotel rooms do does never know
when you land at base and cruise casually tries to call you all you've
ever seen this movie it's actually really funny but basically what this
means is some in some places when you land in your base crew scheduling and
you're finishing your trip crew scheduling can call you and try to send
you back out or extend your trip that's not the case in every airline just
different rules but in a lot of cases that you get back to base and they try
to send you back out you're running away from them trying to avoid getting sent
back you just want to go home and finish your
trip but this is true I know people who they would have a person from crew
scheduling that had to physically contact you and they would wait outside
your gate I know a pilot who would in the bathroom of this of a regional jet
changes uniform shirt and then walk out like he was a passenger and then just
pretend to be on his phone or something like that so the scheduler weren't
really sure and then he would try to get away and they only had like 10 minutes
to get you or something so after 10 minutes it was too late and then you can
go home what really happens during take ha oh now if you're a pilot you know
this isn't the case but I imagine if you're a passenger to the back you must
be wondering sometimes what we're doing up there I can assure you we're not both
having our hands up in the air and screaming I promise I brought this great
now let's do this one more time really draw it out I'll it be any training now
if you're enjoying this and you're laughing and having a good time I
actually talked about this in particular with another video that I was doing with
a flight attendant and I'm gonna put it right up here we're basically talking
about why pilots do this where we go uh between when we're trying to say things
and I explain what I think it was and she's making fun of me so go check it
out all right 74 crew thanks so much for
sending me these memes on Instagram I look forward to hearing from you until
then keep the blue side up you
