flight attendant wants to know why maintenance is on board
maintenance wants to know why the Coke machine is talking okay so I mean that's
kind of funny but the reality is when maintenance people come on board usually
there's 3 guys that will come on or sometimes there's a female so what
will end up happening in reality is the maintenance guy is usually talking to
the flight attendant and trying to flirt with them someone's jealous there are so
many times that have come out to ask them a question and seen the flight
attendant there giving them a drink and being super nice to them and the
maintenance guys are over there trying to flirt and spit their games so reality
the maintenance guy wouldn't be asking why the Coke machine is talking they
would be actually trying to talk to the girl and get her number
I keep getting memes into my Instagram at 74 gear so if you keep
sending these I'll keep making these named three 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 Los Angeles California but
I'm not at a typical tell as you can see I'm standing in a house that I rented so
I can shoot a series that I've wanted to do since I started this channel so I'm
out here filming that and you'll hopefully start to see the beginning
part of that in the next month or so if you've been following me on my Instagram
you've been seeing some of these stories of some smaller aircraft don't worry I'm
not leaving the 747 I'm just doing another series kind of like my Hollywood
vs. reality or now my meme series that you're watching now before I get into
this meme 3 video I want to thank all of you for sending me memes over these last
month or so as well as giving me ideas for other videos I really appreciate all
of you in the 74 crew thank you for being a part of this thank you for
sending me these memes I honestly wouldn't have time to go out and find
all these so if you keep sending these to me we'll keep making these videos
let's get into it so you're a pilot what airplane do you
fly see that plane over there it's a c-130 I fly a C150 all right so here's
a funny part of this if you're not a pilot a c-130 obviously is a large cargo
transport aircraft that's used mostly by the military a
C150 is this plane right here it's a small plane that we use when we're
learning how to fly it's one of the worst things when you get into aviation
is when people find out you're a pilot they want to know if you're a commercial
pilot they want to know if you want to fly for the airlines and a lot of times you know
especially when you're starting off or you're a flight instructor you're flying
something that's usually pretty small and people are generally not very
impressed by it but so this is actually true and I've seen a lot of guys try to
not say this in particular but things along this line to try to beef up or
make their planes sound cooler than it actually is sure if there was any
possible way for me to put you on this airplane and send you off into the
raving tornado trust me I would I really I honestly feel for gate agents they
have a very difficult job dealing with people the flight crew and the cabin
crew when things go really wrong we honestly go and hang out on the plane
because it's quiet there we can kind of relax let's party and wait for the
weather whatever to clear and the gate agents have to deal with a lot of these
people oh how cute a flight crew here's some trash that's messed up but the
reality is isn't a lot of times when the flight attendants come through the
aisles with their bags trying to collect trash and nobody wants to give them
anything and then when everybody leaves the plane that plane is full of trash if
you're a flight attendant you know that you'll go through up and down the cabin
tons of times with your bag asking for trash people ignore you and there's been
a lot of times where I've gotten off the plane or back at the regional days a lot
of times we would have to go back and cross the seat belts ourselves and I
would see trash all over the place and I would always a supply the times like did
you go through and offer to get the trash and like you have no idea and they
would see trash in the back seats or in the floors and a lot of times this
people wouldn't give it to them he's right behind me isn't he okay this kind
of reminds me of that photo that I put up on Instagram a few weeks ago where
there was a small plane between another 747 a small plane and than us behind him
that took a picture of it it was kind of like this I don't know at the end of the
day if you're flying the small plane in a place it adds a lot of heavy aircraft
you're there and we've all been there don't worry about it just keep doing
your flying and eventually if you want to
to a bigger plane you're gonna get there if you want to fly give up everything
that weighs you down student pilot all right dumping more my fuel I'll
admit there are some people out there that probably aren't smart enough to get
through flight school the reality is if you really pay attention and you make a
lot of effort and you listen to your flight instructors and you listen to
people who maybe you look up to as mentors the reality is flight school
isn't that hard but there are some people that aren't the sharpest tools in
the shed this picture however the thing that that pilot is holding right
there in his hand is an aircraft that's actually a throttle for that aircraft
that has it up on them up in the ceiling their actual fuel dumping doesn't happen
with a lever like that but I get what you're trying to do dear people who
stand up as soon as the plane lands where are you all going yes yes this is
so true I did some flying in South America before and I notice that
probably more there and some places in Asia but not every place but you'll see
the plane land or the planes taxiing people are getting up and they're
getting their bags and they're in the middle of the plane he's not even like
you're the first person getting off the plane and I'm sitting there looking them
going what what are you doing or I've had people standing behind me when we're
trying to deep plane and they're like pushing me trying to get forward and I
turn around and go where where do you think you're going to go and they just
look at me like stunned they don't they're just surprised I'm like why are
you pushing me I can't go evaporate through these people the reality is is
wait till you get to the gate and there is no reason if you're anywhere from the
middle of the plane back you might as well just sit in your seat you're not
going anywhere for a few minutes so you might as well sit seated definitely
don't get up while the plane moving that is not safe we may need to brake quickly
when we're taxing the aircraft and if you're standing in the middle aisle you
could fall and hurt yourself so it's for your safety okay all right good talk
coach thanks pilot I only get nine hours of sleep crew scheduling nine hours I
get seven gate agents seven I get full her aircraft mechanics
you guys are getting sleep this was actually a really good movie this is
from we are the Millers I think that was actually a great movie but the reality
is this is kind of true one pilots are all you're gonna complain no matter how
many hours of sleep we could get I might say I got only 24 hours of sleep
is always gonna find a way to complain about this and mechanics there's a lot
of times especially early my career I would see mechanics and they'd work
really long days they don't have near the regulation that I honestly think
that they should for the amount of work that they do and the importance of what
they do they can mess up up really easily while they're flying or while
they're working that we won't notice until we're flying now they have a lot
of redundancies for people to check it and things like that especially at the
larger airlines but they have no world safety as far as four hours of service
like we might have as a pilot now are they getting no sleep I don't know if
that's the case but it's true mechanics do work a lot and there are a lot of
times they're really undervalued you told me you were a pilot simulator
there's somebody of these beams with a cat it's so funny I've been seeing these
a lot of you have been sending me these different beams but it's kind of like
that other one I was talking about with the C 150 it's really a true thing when
you're a new pilot or when you're a simulator pilot playing games on your
home computer I guess technically you're a pilot right but yeah these cat names
are great for sure first day as a pilot control tower can you give me your
position me I'm next to the cloud that looks like a lion control tower can you
be more specific me Simba first of all I don't know why
they keep calling it a control tower because it'd be called air traffic
control but I get what they're saying it's tough when you're out there and
you're on the radio and you're new and you're trying to figure out how to fly
the plane talking the radio maintain your altitude it's a lot going on I
would look back on and I think how did how did it all go so well without having
any problems the truth is is that it is a lot going on you are going to be
overwhelmed and you're gonna sound stupid on the radio that's why I made
that video about talking talking better on the radio it's important that you
practice those things so that way when you are stressed and overloaded your
instincts take over and you're not saying things like I'm next to the clap
that looks like Simba I'm sorry captain but we have a bit of a problem with one
of the passengers oh boy well how many Twitter followers does he have all right
well okay there's some truth in this actually obviously there is a Scituate
United that happened in a few other cases where people have done something
they weren't supposed to do and have tweeted about it or whatever I have had
some people tweet about flight attendants that were on aircraft that I
was on where they were really honestly just looking for to get a reaction and
they were tweeting some pretty nasty things about some of the flight
attendants the reality is is this is the current world that we live in so if
you're a flight crew member or you're a cabin crew member this is obviously part
of the world that we live in as there are always people looking to make or say
something to get something for free or to get a reaction unfortunately this is
what it is now anybody want to say anything I'm a pilot I've talked about
this a lot of times pilots always have to tell people that were a pilot I still
find myself doing this all the time I don't know why but I I will still do it
in most pilots I hear it will say it because it's just something we're really
proud of and people are often intrigued about what we do sometimes early in a
conversation I will say I'm a pilot and then I think of myself while I'm still
talking why are you saying that I don't know why we do that but it's just
something that we do how you feel on your first solo before during and after
this is really true I talked about that I think in that learning how to fly
video I talked about my solo and just how crazy it was with the wind and
things like things like that when you go to fly a plane for the first time as you
do everything in aviation as soon as you get okay at something you go to the next
thing so you never really become a really good at anything because you're
just trying to get to that next step as you go through your flight training and
it will be like that for your first couple thousand hours until you start
getting really good and kind of honing all of your skills the reality is is
that you're always going to be uncomfortable and it's okay because like
I always talked about you have to push outside of your comfort zone it's going
to be stressful and there's gonna be points but you just got to go back to
your knowledge and use all the things that you've learned as you go through
about crew resource management and working as a team and everything's gonna
be just fine pilot school bird oh and chops them up oh man that's cold-hearted
he wants to fly and he can't so he gets some foot inflating chops all the
birds up if you want to see something else that's cold-hearted you can see all
the mean comments that people have left me on YouTube I'll put a link to it
right here I look forward to hearing from you until then keep the blue side
up
