a captain accidentally flashes two brand new flight attendants a hooker tricks herself
to get into my hotel room and a bunch more in this episode of cockpit confessionals coming up
hey 74 crew welcome back if you don't know me my name is kelsey i'm a 747 pilot
my channel 74gear is all about aviation now in this series a lot of times i tell a story in
first person even though they are not me i don't know the people involved or anything like that
a lot of times these stories are sent to me through instagram so if you have a funny
story about being part of a flight crew or cabin crew send me a message on instagram
that's the easiest way you can write it down or you can send me a voice message either way
send that to me and who knows maybe it ends up in this story but again i am not part of
any of these i don't know these people i'm not involved in any way sound like support to me
if you can imagine adults living their best life that was definitely me at the regionals and that's
because i was very good at bidding i knew how to bid and work on the system to get the types
of trips that i wanted and what happened is that i would have flight attendants who liked working
with me that would bid onto my schedule and they would bid to work with me and we would have cool
fun overnight sometimes you'd have 30 hours in some fun city and that meant you could go out now
i also preferred to work in the afternoon because in the regionals it seemed like the schedule were
either the very early morning flight so like 6 a.m or you'd start at like 2. i'd rather work till 2
finish at 10 go out and wake up whenever i felt like it and have breakfast and do all that stuff
so i would always bid for trips in the afternoon and trips that had long layovers that's what i
liked and these flight attendants would bid onto my schedule and because i would wake up late i
would be well rested and ready to go and fly and what would happen is we'd show up to the plane
and a lot of times we'd show up and get all of our work done and once all of our work was done
i would do this i would get my phone out whatever cool song that was happening that you would maybe
hear in a club or a bar or whatever i would get that and i'd grab the pa system now the pa system
is where you always hear pilots doing that pa system is how we make all of our announcements
which is a speaker system throughout the plane so we'd be up in the front of plane getting the
plane ready to go fly and once we were done with all that the flight attendants usually had more
stuff to do in the back so they were getting their stuff ready i'd grab my phone grab the pa
put them together and then i would start playing fun music that you hear in a bar or nightclub
now from the flight deck you could turn around and actually see the flight attendants and they
usually would start laughing some of them would start dancing depending on the crew you were with
and you could have some fun while you're waiting for the passengers to board sometimes you have
20 or 30 minutes so the passengers are ready to start getting on the aircraft so sometimes
i would do that because i'd find it fun and everybody puts everybody in a really good mood
like i said i usually start my trip later in the day and in this case it was about five
o'clock so the sun was already low in the sky it was getting close to winter time and i decided
to start playing music and in my infinite wisdom and my attempts to be a dj i decided i would play
music but also i would start flashing the lights like i was in a nightclub so here i am flashing
lights of this plane it's five o'clock it's dusk and that means this plane you can see the lights
turning on and off so these rampers who are the guys who push the plane back and help load the
plane and do all that stuff on the ground there they see the lights flashing on and off this plane
and they think maybe there's a problem so there i am flashing lights playing the music not really
paying attention what's going on i look over and there's a flight attendant we'll call her mia mia
is standing there with her feet on both sides of the aisle and she is twerking in the middle of the
aisle like she's getting paid for it and if you've seen some of my other cockpit confessional stories
you know that maybe she was getting paid for it at one time or another so we're all out laughing
and having a good time and here comes these two rampers running up to the plane because they
see it flashing they think maybe there's a short circuit so as they run on the plane i of course
i stop playing the music right away and take it off the pa system and mia turns around and is like
and then she turns around and sees these two rampers there and the rampers look at
me they're like cap no keep keep playing the music no this is we don't want this to stop
anyways i kicked him off the plane we decided to board the plate and get out of there early
but we started laughing about it and then later that night we let mia go out and twerk
not in uniform of course but twerk and get drunk and have a good time
this story happened when i was a brand new pilot on the 747 i had just flown i think 13 hours i'd
gotten to the city around three in the morning now this city is known for being a huge party city
we got there we got in this really nice hotel and i was the last one to check in sometimes what
happens when you check in is the crew will do it based off seniority that's not always the case but
in this case it was i was the last guy the other crews had already left gone upstairs and i was the
last guy to get my hotel key and so i got into the elevator and as the door these elevator open i see
this girl who looks like a lady of the night now i'm not judging this profession or the people that
engage in people who work in this profession but i was very very tired after this long day
and so i get into the elevator and she's like ooh a pilot which is what a lot of you think it's like
everywhere you go but it's not always that way she was drunk and of course looking for some money
so i get into the elevator and i'm tired and i'm new and i'm not really paying attention so i put
my key in and i start going up to my floor and she starts asking me all these questions where'd
you come from blah blah blah starts asking me kind of engaging me in a conversation now she's drunk
it's three in the morning she's leaving the hotel room alone so i think kind of we know
what had already happened so as the doors through the elevator open for my floor i realized that she
has not pushed any of the buttons for a floor to go to and she's supposed to be leaving and
i'm going up so she was obviously leaving to go out but as soon as i walked in she thought
maybe she'd get a second client so as i walk out she starts following me and keeps trying to engage
in a conversation and i'm kind of like unsure what to do here because i don't want to be rude
and i'm just kind of like making small talk but then i asked her where are you going she was
like oh i've had a long night and i was going to take a cab back home but we should just hang out
for a little bit tonight and i was like listen i'm very tired i'm disgusting i need to take a shower
i'm done i'm done so i i definitely don't have any time or any time to spend with you and i
don't have any cash she goes you're a pilot you have some money i was like no no i have no money
i have nothing to give you and she's like all right it's fine tomorrow you can pay me tomorrow
i don't really care and i'm like no there's no money i don't have any money to give you now this
conversation goes down this long haul until i get to my room and so now she's standing at my door
i've opened up my door and put my bag in the room and she goes look it's fine you know i understand
you don't have any money let's just hang out let's have a drink let's have a drink in your
hotel room i'm like no we're not doing that we're not having any drinks we're not doing anything
you can go back and you can leave so i think that i've now solved this problem as i go in the door
and i'm getting ready to close it she says hey can you look at this real quick and as i turn around
as the door is closing she's standing there in the hallway with just her mini skirt and no top on
no bra nothing so there i am and there's a girl outside of my hotel room door topless
at three in the morning and i'm in uniform i said ma'am you need to put your shirt on right now you
can't be standing out here she said well the only way i'm going to put my shirt on is if you let me
in the room there so i can see and make sure that i have everything situated correctly that's the
only way i'm going to do it i'm like no you can't come in i can't do she's like well i'm just going
to stand out here in the hallway and knock on the door until you let me in so me not really thinking
this out very clearly and being tired i said okay okay fine come in but we're not doing anything
and i know what you're thinking that was the dumbest move ever but that's what happens when
you're tired and you've been awake for 16 hours and you're brand new co-pilot on the 747 you
don't always make the best decisions so she goes in the bathroom to hopefully put her shirt back
on i decide to change out of my uniform shirt and take off my tie and put everything away and
i decide okay i'll just wait for her to get out then i can go take my shower and then go to sleep
so she comes out and she goes oh i missed it you took your shirt off come on now take your pants
off i'm like no no we're not doing this right now so she keeps pushing and pushing and pushing and i
go look i have no money i lost my wallet i don't have anything i'm going home tomorrow to get my
credit cards and get my money and all that stuff i'm having it all sent to me in alaska that wasn't
true i had cash i had my wallet had everything on me but i thought if she thought there was
no way she'd get paid she would probably leave and luckily that worked so she said okay that's fine
that's i understand and so she said but i don't know how to get out to the lobby to get out of
here i've never been in this hotel and to her point it was a little bit of a tricky situation
with the layout of the hotel so i was like okay fine i'll walk you out and i'll show you how to
get to the elevator and get out and i'll punch the floor in for you now this girl is clearly
a lady of the night and so we're walking to the elevator and we're just making small talk because
i'm just kind of that person i'll just talk to whoever and so we're just talking and we walk
over the elevator i hit the button i'm waiting for the elevator to come up and now keep in mind
i'm in a casual shirt my uniform pants uniform shoes all this stuff and to another pilot it's
very easy to see that's a pilot you got another casual shirt on uniform pants uniform shoes it's
very obvious and in this particular city and in this particular hotel it was very obvious that
i was a pilot and just out not working so now it's three something in the morning the door
opens to the elevator and who's standing there another pilot in full uniform and he looks at me
looks up me up and down looks at my clothes knows that i'm a pilot then looks over at the girl
knows what she is and he just looks back at me and he just smiles and i'm like oh my gosh this
is going to be so uncomfortable if this guy's on my next crew so i walk in the elevator i push
negative two or minus two or whatever the floor was to get out of this hotel i walk in and she's
like thanks baby you're the best and i'm like okay yeah that's fine just here you go get in the
elevator and i as she walks in i look back at the guy and he's smiling at me just looking thinking
he knows everything that's just happened like it looks like i did something that i shouldn't have
been doing right anyway so i went back into my room went to sleep and all i could think of the
next day when i was meeting my crew is please not that guy please not that guy please not that guy
now if you're one of the first people to get onto a plane you may notice that there are sometimes
some bangs over the emergency or somewhere else on the plane and that's because of crew when we
get on the plane that we'll put our bags there we usually don't put them in first class we usually
put them over the emergency row because it's kind of towards the middle of the plane but not all
the way in the back so you have to haul them all the way forward that's usually where you'll see
a couple of bags and that's usually flight crew bags that are there now between flights at the
regionals we would always hang out in the cabin area we would hang out eat snacks and talk and
laugh and whatever that's just you know you can kind of imagine working with me that's
kind of how it's going to go so we were hanging out back there just talking it was me and two
flight attendants we were just hanging out there talking and the captain walked onto the plane
so he was bringing his bag back to put it into the overhead so he could go check out all the
work and make sure everything was set up so we could do our flight now if you don't know
this about the airlines usually when you're doing typical airlines you'll work for four to five days
but typically four you have a four day trip and at the fourth day at some airlines you can be what's
called unvoluntarily extended meaning they can work you for another day or sometimes two days
and that is something that really sucks because if you're planning on going home and you're planning
on being done with work and then you get a call that says hey by the way you're doing this extra
trip you don't really have any recourse you have to do it and that's what happened to this captain
here so here's the setup you got two flight attendants one sitting on each side of the row
and then you have me two rows back and i'm sitting there talking with the flight attendants and i'm
talking with this one flight attendant and all of a sudden hear the other flight attendant screaming
my eyes my troll volleyball eye and then i see the captain fall over into the row behind her
seat and i'm like what what just happened i look at her face and she's got this shocked look on
her face she's covering her mouth she's like oh my god oh my god and they kept like oh my gosh
i'm so sorry i'm so sorry well here's what had happened the captain had been extended so because
he got extended he ran out of the clothes that he thought he was going to need for his trip because
he thought he was going to work for four days and it ended up being six days now we were on
day six that he had to do one leg and then he was going home and he thought because he had no clean
clothes he would just go to work commando because all he had to do was one flight and he could go
home well this captain had also lost about 30 pounds he'd been working out a lot to get fit
and get healthy which you have to respect someone that takes her health as a priority so he started
exercising getting healthy and he lost a bunch of weight and so his belt didn't exactly fit him
anymore so when he went to put his bag above the seats and the overhead there his pants fell down
and he was fully commando now i've mentioned this before but in aviation you almost never ever
ever ever want to have a nickname obviously that doesn't apply if you're a fighter pilot or a few
other rare occasions but typically in aviation if you have a nickname it's never very good
and if you want to know what this guy's nickname was well we called him captain commando and
speaking of commandos if you want to see some commandos board of 747 you're going to want to
check out this video right here and if you want to see something a little bit funnier you're going to
want to watch this one up here i look forward to hearing from you until then keep the blue side up
