student pilots after their first landing I'm the best there is plain and simple I
mean I wake up in the morning and piss excellence dude I love this I love this
and you know what it's not just student pilots even commercial pilots do this I
mean not just after any normal landing but after an amazing landing or
you do something really good this is what you feel like everyone in the
74 crew really loved the last aviation memes video that I did and
since then on Instagram I've been getting a lot of new ones sent to me so
aviation memes numero dos 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 here in Charleston South Carolina and normally I would show
a video of my hotel room like I've been doing in some of the past videos but
right now my room looks out onto a pool with a bunch of college girls running
around in bikinis and I'm not sure what the laws are but besides that being
super creepy filming them I'm pretty sure I would somehow go to jail for that
I just got out of jail are you going back yes are you going back so we'll
mention this is my view Charleston South Carolina alright let's get into these
aviation memes sit down we're not at the gate yet
alright this would be me 100% if I was a flight attendant I've seen people do
this where we're taxing in and they jump up and they're like in the middle of the
plane jump up and start getting their bag down and I'm thinking well what do
you think you're going right now all the people that are ahead of you still have
to get off the plane ACARS free text Chemical trails mind control population
control mass sterilization alright so this is what our computer system look
like and ACARS is basically a way for us to send text messages back and forth to
our company the airline that you're working for obviously there is no
chemtrail option in our planes since we don't spit out chemtrails despite what a
lot of people want to believe but a chem trail just so you know is a
conspiracy that a lot of people have when you see the white lines those
vapors that are coming off of the back of the engines when it planes flying
depending on their altitude and temperatures and
things like that you'll get actually a white a white trail that's coming out of
the back of the engines now I'm not going to explain in this video what
causes those but there are conspiracy people who think those are chemicals
that we are spraying all over the place and the one thing I can tell you is I
was joking with a friend of mine about this new pilots that you know 10 15
years ago when we were making $20,000 a year I was saying you know it guys
making $20,000 a year if he could make a hundred thousand by telling the truth
that he spraying chemicals at the back he would have absolutely done it because
there was pilots during that time 10-15 years ago that were having a hard time
having money to eat so anyway this is a little joke about that chemtrails it's
not a real thing flight attendant y'all want something to eat me what's my
choices flight attendant yes or no yeah this
again would be me if I was a flight attendant I honestly don't know how they
deal with people because there's a lot of times that I'm sitting next to
someone and I'm in civilian clothes people don't know that I'm a pilot and
the attitude that they give to somebody's flight attendants I think man
you're a saint I don't know how you would tolerate something like that but
anyways yeah this would be me if I was a flight attendant 100% when your
girlfriend says we need to talk so this is actually the most liked one from my
last video the original aviation memes that I did someone said will you do this
one and this guy actually sent me this meme master caution pushed a reset so if
there's basically something that we have in the flight deck a master caution or a
master warning depending on the systems that could be malfunctioning anyway so
this is just a joke based off of that and you know that's just kind of a red
flag and it means this is not gonna be a good conversation Freight pilots be like
and then they said they were tired when they lost an hour last night so I mean
this is kind of a joke because a lot of times Freight pilots will do backside of
the clock plank and that means we're flying with the night where we're taking
off at night and you're flying around a lot at night and you might have a 10 or
12 hour time difference depending on where you're taking off from and where
you're landing to there's been some times where I've done some
14:15 our flights and if timing doesn't work out you'll take off at the start of
night and you'll fly with night the whole time and that's a hard time to fly
if you're tired and flying at night it is does not help things so this is kind
of a joke like this because sometimes Freight pilots are just pounding coffee
to stay awake while they're flying getting selfies with seven floor gear
yeah I wish it was like this someone sent me this I don't remember who but
someone sent me this in a yeah I've had people
I'm sure take photos of me and I've seen actually photos of a plane that I'm
actually flying I've never had three girls run up to me to try to take
selfies with me maybe one day but it's definitely not to day hearing people
talk about aviation in public and trying not to correct them on everything they
say yeah this is pretty true actually a good story about this about a month ago
I was flying on American and I was thinking was going LA to Seattle or
something like that the girl that I'm sitting next to on this plane says yeah
the flight down here I flew down on a much bigger jet it was a 747 and and I
was thinking okay American doesn't have 747s do I want to get in this
conversation with her I was like oh yeah I'm sure was a big claim for probably
not a 747 she's like insisting now she's like no it was a 747 so you go I mean
I'm a 747 pilot American doesn't have 747s
did it have a second floor on it and she's like no oh okay maybe it was a
777 yep maybe just a possibility I had like
two two aisles and she's like yeah yeah maybe triple seven she goes I thought
every every big plane was a 747 I mean I felt kind of bad and I and I really hope
she doesn't ever watch this video she was actually a really sweet girl but
that's just an example I just I could I could not say something about it I'm a
flight instructor would you ever fly commercial so I don't know this is what
it means but this is what I'm taking it as a lot of times people will say do you
ever flight will you ever fly commercially and no matter what you're
doing it's kind of like their little jab and I get people that say that to me
sometimes you're like oh you're flying Freight I mean would you ever fly a
commercial airline like I'm flying a 747 that's not good enough
and when I was flying regional jets a lot of times people get on and I mean
this is like a 70 seater jet people would get on and say like oh this thing
is tiny you know and I'm thinking man I was so excited to get to this thing so
there's a lot of times people make these jabs about this like would you ever be a
commercial pilot like yeah I'm an airline transport pilot I don't
understand why people want to make these jabs but that's a struggle you make as
you go through your career it seems like no matter what you do it's never good
enough and even now I'm a 747 pilot I still get jabs from people like oh so
you can't fly passengers is that your deal but I fly both I fly cargo and
passengers and the biggest plane that Boeing makes I mean come on bro
when your instructor asked if you have visual with traffic cut down all right
so this is you're not gonna believe this I remember when I started flight school
and they would say Oh traffic here traffic there I would have thought in my
mind finding another plane in the sky would be so easy but there's a lot of
times where you're scanning the sky trying to figure out and find the plane
and I have pretty good vision and I'd be looking around like where are they
four miles away how can I not find a plane so I mean I know it seems
unbelievable I honestly couldn't believe it in now I'm still surprised and and
every now and again I'll still here air traffic control say something like Oh
traffic opposite direction you know 15 15 miles and you're thinking 15 miles
away you want me to find another place I'm not that good can't get jet lag if
you're always on alright so men rest so you know is the minimum amount of time
that you're allowed to have rest between flights and so obviously we'll have some
times where we'll fly 14 or 15 hours and have a ten-hour break and then go fly
another 12 13 14 hour flight and it's not really that bad honestly because
when you get to the hotel you're tired so you'll take a shower you'll you'll go
to sleep even if it's in the middle that day hypothetically you go to sleep and
by the time you wake up eat something it's time to go work again you're kind
of rested and on those long flights to have a respite because there will be
multiple crews so it's a little bit easy even if you are a little bit tired you
know hey you know in three or four hours I'll get a you know a two three hour nap
but yeah this is true you don't have jet lag if you're on min rest but I think
doing min rest lay overs when you're about to clear pilot for takeoff but
they keep and remind you that they're holding well now I'm not going to do it
I actually wonder this sometimes and if your air traffic control comment below
let me know that you do if you do this or not if the pilots are holding short
of the runway and we key up and say something like ready to go one ain't
right does that irritate you does that make you think like okay now I'm not
gonna do it now I sometimes we're always a little bit hesitant to to make that
call but every now and again when we're rolling and there's no traffic we don't
see anybody I'll say like we'll be ready to go approaching the runway and
sometimes I think you guys have forgotten about us and we're just
sitting there and you know three or four minutes go by and there's nobody taking
off or landing I'm thinking these guys up there eating his lunch or texting his
girlfriend or something what are they doing so comment below if your air
traffic control and you're watching this comment below let me know this is
actually something that you guys do ladies and gentlemen this is your
captain speaking if you look out to the right side of your aircraft you'll
notice flight 195 challenging us to a race I've turned the fasten your seat
belt sign back on because is about to get real I don't know who wrote this
it's horrible English but yeah it's true I've never raced because we get given a
set speed that we're supposed to fly it and it looks like these guys are flying
over the ocean so you're given a set speed and in some cases you can modify
it a little bit but it is fun when you're flying out over the ocean or
you're flying up somewhere and everyone's kind of in a group pattern
and you can see the other planes around you and obviously you're passing them it
is kind of a cool feeling watching you you know you're going maybe Mach eight
five across the ocean and they're doing seven eight I was flying behind that
Southwest the other day coming to Hawaii to LA and we were doing eight-six
and they were doing Mach 7 8 which is basically a speed a percentage of the
speed of sound so Mach 8 4 or Mach 8 5 is just based off of that speed of sound
so Southwest is taking off a ways before us
and across the river crossing the Pacific obviously and we caught up to
them before we got into I don't know LA or Oakland or wherever they were going
and we'd caught up to them and actually got in and landed before them and we
were thinking like yeah what does that matter I mean a couple minutes
difference doesn't make any difference but at this something that's true 747 me
757 this beam gets used for like everything but yeah I'm sure though
there's always a little bit of jealousy from other pilots I I was sitting next
to a 737 guy riding a ban into Miami one day and the guy that was sitting next to
me was the 737 captain at American and he knew who I flew for and we were
talking about the 747 and he was saying to me man if I could just have like a
week to play that thing man I would just love to fly it's just kind of one of
those iconic planes that every generation especially I think kind of
the older generation it's that iconic plane that they really want to fly so I
don't take it for granted when I'm flying that thing we pull up and you see
three or four people if you go to like a unusual Airport you'll see three or four
Rampur standing to the side taking photos and video of it I really
appreciate how cool it is my job you know so it's it's yeah this is true
flight delay and today's flight delay is due to mechanical ABC weather I you know
I had a lot of people especially when I was flying passengers back in the day I
had a lot of people when we have a delay would not believe what the gate agents
were telling him again Gabe's I don't know how you guys do what you do and put
up with the venom that passengers will spit at you when there's nothing that is
in control of the airline there was a time once I forget where I
was flying to but there was a massive thunderstorm sitting on top of the
airport and in front of it and it was a a big airport let's call it Newark and
there was so much backlog traffic there was no way that we were gonna get in
there and the gate agent said hey we're not gonna be able to get in because
there's weather and there's nothing we can do about it and the airline that I
was flying for cancelled the flight and people were screaming at this lady and I
happen to go up I don't get some paperwork because now
we were gonna reposition the plane and fly it empty to another city so it was
in position to go the next day and this lady was screaming at the gate agent and
and I said hey you know and this is one of those weird times where as a pilot
people will listen to you and trust you and I really think it's important you as
a pilot take care of your flight attendants whenever possible and your
gate agents and in this scenario I walked up to her and I said ma'am look
there's weather over the field and I pulled up my phone and I showed her the
radar that had the weather over the field and I said there's no way we're
gonna get in there right now and the the amount of flights that are coming in or
already in route maybe from overseas they have to go in and land so the
flight getting canceled there's nothing that this woman can do to fix your
problem and she's like let me see that radar and I show it to her and she goes
well I have a job interview and if I don't get to a job interview I'm not
gonna get the job and I said yeah I mean I there's nothing we can do for you
right now I'm sorry she goes will you take a photo with me with that and I was
like what she's like if I have that I can send it to my employer and show them
that the pilot wouldn't let us get on the flight I was like okay sure so I'm
like I hold up the phone and she takes a photo of me holding the phone with the
weather radar to show her company that she wasn't gonna make it
speaking of delays if you've ever wondered how pilots make up time when
we're running behind schedule I'm gonna put a video here that explains how we
make up time in flight I look forward to hearing from you until then keep the
blue side up
