part of the pilot life is working with flight attendants and today I have a
flight attendant youtuber with us Stella who's gonna tell us the five most
annoying things that pilots do to annoy flight attendants 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 Stella's a flight attendant youtuber and
your channel is fly with Stella fly with Stella I'm a new york-based flight
attendant traveling the world and taking you with me so go check her out I'm
gonna link her channel and her Instagram as well if you want to check her out
she shows a different side of crew life very different from mine it shows a lot
of the fun things that crews do on overnights and lay overs and where
they're traveling so it's really fun and go check it out a while back I reached
out to Stella and I told her I wanted to do a video about the five most annoying
things that pilots do to flight attendants and her response to me was do I have to stop at 5
I have a whole list here list here it's like one of the scrolls that just like keeps unwinding and
that's actually the text I got back from a couple of other flight attendant
friends of mine when I was asking them for some ideas for this video they all
said the exact same thing but today we're gonna do the five most annoying
things that we do to annoy flight attendants and still actually has a
bonus one now on her channel fly with Stella we just did a five things that
flight attendants to do to annoy pilots and so go check that out I'll put a link to her
I'll put a link to her channel in the description below I know I have a lot of
flight attendants that follow me here this is a really fun collaboration we're doing so make sure
you go check it out after this video now we're doing this video to help pilots
especially live you that are newer to help create a better team dynamic a lot
of you that are new that are going to go to the regionals or start at the
airlines your flight attendants are going to be
one of your most valuable resources a lot of them have a lot of years of
experience flying and a lot of times they have a lot more experience on
aircraft than you do so creating that team
just agreeing I'm nodding it's right so something that's very important that you
notice and seen on a lot of my videos is the importance of cream that team aspect
called crew resource management and opening that door so that way they are
comfortable to talk with you and help you and besides that it just makes a
much more fun work environment if you guys are working together and having a
good time so Stella's gonna tell us the five
things that we do that always annoy flight attendants let's get into it
coming up alright so number one is when pilots make super early morning pas or
super late night pas and I'm talking like if we have a 6:00 a.m. departure
and then we get to cruising altitude and the pilots come on and make a PA and
wake everybody up yeah obviously that's going to annoy the
flight attendants because they're trying to get everybody to go to sleep and it's gonna make their job a
lot easier I actually knew a guy who did that and he actually had the flight
attendant the flight that's actually called up and said stop there was a like
every 15 minutes it was just like hey guys and now off your left and the place
is like shut up like just shut up so yeah okay yeah so we just love to talk
about oh yeah we just want I mean early morning flights we were worried about
the passengers we just want you guys to go to sleep right yeah be rested and
relaxed when you're flying yeah exactly that's what you're worried about so that
leads on to number two when pilots make when you guys make really really
long-winded PAs and I'm not talking like 30 seconds I'm talking like some pilots
will literally talk for almost five minutes know what you have guys talking
that long okay they're like telling stories and today
for breakfast before I do that they talk about their whole day and you're just
like click click on this video for some information give me the information ok
no but so sometimes pilots they'll come on and they'll say like weather
what the weather's gonna be like in our final destination but then they'll give
the entire flight plan of every monument everything that went flying over and
then it turns into this like crazy long PA, Iheard a guy doing that he was like we're
gonna go up the coast of Georgia and then we're gonna cut across South
Carolina and then he walked us through like each state all the way to get to
help you know where we were going Seattle or where I was going and I was
like dude just I don't care you know it'll be like I just want to go
hey does anybody else yeah okay all right yeah we do that there well there
are guys who do that I don't do that are you feeling rested all right number
three when the pilots walk to the back of the cabin during flight so I don't
know how I know when there's only two pilots like you guys can't do this but
when there's three and one of you is on break yeah and then you walk to like the
like main cabin and all the passengers are just looking like they're in confuse
what is that who's flying the plane they don't know there's three of you
that's true yeah well so there's there some planes though and I know not on
your aircraft but there are some planes that they only have the app restroom and
that's no that's not an excuse that is so awkward though because when you are
walking through there all the staring at you like what what's going on like where
are you going yeah but but when with you know you guys
know when I do a lot of long-haul flights on the 74 I will do that though
I'll usually go into the galleys and hang out with the flight attendants and talk with
them sometimes I do that don't do that don't do that they don't want know so
it's just like it's just like kind of weird
we got side tracked super sidetracked all right so so basically don't go back and
wander around through the passenger area because people get a little confused but
you know what what I'm deadheading in uniform it's kind of the same thing I
walk through but they don't know they don't know okay I don't even fly for
your airline and I'll be walking through and people will be what are you doing you know I've
been sitting in the back and had someone get up as we're deplaning and they're
like what are you doing sitting back here and I'm like I've been sitting in
the same seat for the last three hours I get this looks when I deadhead in my
uniform as well I get a little confused all right crews so don't walk back in
the galleys and annoy at the flight attendants don't do that it's not
annoying us well not just about annoying us but about freaking all the passengers
out it's just like it's just so weird okay yeah all right number four when you
request a bathroom break literally right after takeoff but that's the same thing
I know the flight attendant you have all this time in the airport to use the
restroom but that's the same for passengers I've seen or during
boarding it doesn't matter oh yeah you could not like right when we
take off because honestly for a flight attendant the busiest time is right when
we take off and level off because we start setting up our galleys for our
beverage service or meal service we set up our little trolley carts that's a
busy time for us so then when you call us and say I'm ready to go ready to use
the restroom now I need to go but we are like we might forget we might this is
one of those we might forget about you oops I'm so busy I didn't yeah okay I
can see that yet I mean that's true for passengers as well I've seen a lot of
times where passengers get on board and then they fight this flow of people
getting on the plane so they can go use the restroom I think you've just been
sitting here for two hours where there's bathrooms big normal sized
bathrooms that you could go into Kelsey we love all our passengers
and if you need to use the restroom feel free we're talking about pilots right
now yeah so number five is when we land and we start to deplane and the
pilots rush right off I've got to catch my commuter flight bye guys nice fine
with you and then the flight attendants are there left to be like bye thank you
thank you for flying and you guys just get to around the door rush oh yeah what
it's so unfair I've seen that especially like when I'm deadheading I've seen
that where I'm like I'm in like row nine and I get off the plane and I go like
look in and say like thanks for the flight and I'm like their pilots are
gone like ninjas ninjas you're out the door
so what would you prefer they do this day like okay because it is an FAA like
rule that you know minimum crew needs to be on board it's about the flight
attendants not the flight deck you guys are like separate than us but it would
be nice if you guys stayed and au revoir everybody off the plane with us okay
like that thanks for flying with this kids love to see the pilot I know yeah I
used to love when the kids would like they'd be looking up there and be like
you want to come out I wanna press a button
yeah and then I bring them up and then you'd see the parents standing there
like jealous like looking at their kid like hitting a button and I'd look at
them I look at the parents they're just like can I go next like you can see they
want to do it so bad but that's fun that's a really fun yeah so you guys you
guys should stay so that's something that's true it is fun especially when
you start flying passengers it's really fun to sit there and wave to everybody
and say goodbye and yeah but I guess it depended you're trying to make your
flight home though you can understand that well don't worry we got this the
flight attendants will hold it down yeah - hold it down they keep it all together
for us okay and I came up with the bonus ones yeah I came up with a bonus one on
her video she's like oh no I'm gonna do a bonus one too
so that's how this whole dog thing started supposed to be five and
came up with this bonus one and now she's got about this and you guys will
be able to relate with me on this one when the pilots make their announcements
make their PAs and they do this is captain Joe Smith la will be cruising
at an altitude of 38,000 feet weather conditions
I was practicing on on my video do it okay here we go guys here we go
testing testing she first put it on she was like testing testing a mic it's not a
microphone on the stage but alright so here's how the announcement goes and and
if you're a pilot you know you're thinking about a lot of things while
you're flying or you're doing stuff and you're looking for the paperwork so it goes like
that thing when you're doing the UH though it's because you're like looking
at stuff or when especially when you're flying you're doing it because you're
you're looking for your you're flying and you're listening to what's going on
and you're looking at things you're looking but if you're listening to
what's going on why not just be silent like we're gonna be cruising at an
altitude of 38,000 feet current weather conditions uh uh I don't know I don't
what do we do that why do we do that in the comments below let us know why we do that
you the flight attendants don't do us but you guys have a very you have like a
very specific rhythm that you do it that's why and you know actually when we
were recording her doing that little pitch she was saying is so fluid I was
like no you can't do that, you have to add the uhhh
I am a natural born public speaker you have to add the uhh it's just part of what it is and I know
why it's because we're looking at things but I don't know why do we why aren't we
quiet I don't I don't know so alright that's fair that's a bonus most
annoying things all right crew those are the five most annoying things that we do
as pilots and I want to thank Stella for keeping me nice rustic-y she has she has
a lot more so we had to whittle it down to five but I want to thank her so much for
coming on their channel in the comments section below let me know did you like
this new style and the collaboration I did I look forward to hearing from you
until then Stella keep the blue side up
part of a pilot's life is comin up it was a plane I just saw told you coming
up okay oh my god I'm so good at doing your cup coming up
