part of a pilots life is what we do outside of the cockpit and if you know a
pilot's wife there's an 80% chance she's one of 3 professions I'll explain it
all 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 so whether you're a pilot
or an aviation enthusiast consider subscribing now this video applies to
male pilots dating life now I haven't really seen a trend with
female pilots but if I do you'll be the first to know first I'm going to talk
about each of these 3 professions and then at the end I want to give you
the common thread that they all have in common let's get into it now the first
and most obvious one that most of you are probably thinking are flight
attendants and I know it sounds cliche but many people meet their wife or
girlfriend at work it's the same for pilots it's an easy fit for both of you
you understand that the lifestyle that we're in and understand that the lay
overs aren't crazy hot tub Jacuzzi nights with naked flight attendants
running around everywhere crap next is nurses nurses work a very strange
schedule similar to pilots they usually work in blocks of three or four days
they usually work long days at a time and then they'll have several days off
so it makes sense the schedules kind of fit up and there's a lot of variance in
working either Wednesday through Friday or Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday things
like that that pilots work nurses will also have a similar type schedule
finally it's teachers this is a bit of a strange one for me because teachers are
the most 9-5 type job of these three professions and I realized a lot
of times they might start at 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning in the finish at
2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon and then they're grading papers or doing whatever
teachers did I don't know I always tried to get out of school and not go back
until the next day it explains a lot
but I know they work really hard after school's out and the other thing that's
strange about this is they usually have the summers off and that's usually the
most busy time for pilots especially if they're doing passenger flying so the
only thing that I can think of is that these teachers are getting invited to
these hot crazy Jacuzzi parties that for some reason I'm not getting invited to
actually that would not surprise me so what is it about these three professions
that pilots are drawn to well I'm sure you've seen these memes floating around
on the internet and a lot of it is true most pilots have wanted to be pilots
since they were kids and for some reason it seems once they get onto the flight
deck and start flying planes that they go right back into their little boy
syndrome and you want some examples well sure you push back you start your taxi
you're taxing around let's say in LaGuardia you come around the corner and
all of a sudden you see 30 planes lined up
my life is ruined now you still have two more flights to do that day so you're
not getting home in the earlier anyways but what do you do you start whining
complaining and pouting your friend from flight school went to a different
airline than you and their airline got the new triple 7x and you're stuck
flying this stupid regular normal triple 7 and now all you can think about is
getting into the cockpit and hitting that button that unfolds those wings so
somebody just got a new toy and you want to play with it not true so what do all
these things have in common well teachers nurses and flight
attendants all work in care industries where they're used to hearing people
whine cry and complain so they can probably put up with all your
complaining that you're doing and typically all 3 are professions
where the people are underpaid for the things that they do and usually have the
hearts of a saint all right crew that's my theory of why pilots tend to date and
marry flight attendants teachers or nurses now if you're a pilots girlfriend
and you're not one of those three professions don't worry about it I'm not
a doctor and in most cases pilots are out talking like they're an authority on
a topic that they really don't know anything about so you're probably just
one of those other 20% probably in the comments section below let me know did
you ever notice this trend among pilots I look forward to hearing from you until
then keep the blue side up!
