If u wanna work for the airlines better get your pilots license """NOW"" an get as many hours u can possiable flying... an then get first officer on a turbo prop such as Delta an school an more school to work your way up the ladder..... ughhh why i just work as a tech.. but plan on getting my private pilots license....ASAP.....
Remember Jonah, when you are hired to an airline, it's very rare to be able to choose which airplane you want to fly. I want to fly turboprops because I find joy in flying at lower altitudes, seeing sights, and hand flying. I also don't like looking forward to things that will come to me once I'm 35-40.
Good luck my friend, this wasn't to change you, I just felt you should be aware.
@Boeing757200A I know, it's too bad you can't pick your Aircraft for what you want to fly. If I could, I would pick between four aircraft. 757 - 737- MD-88 - MD-90. If the DC-9's were going to be around that would have been my first choice - Too bad they're leaving :(
@Boeing757200A I agree, I'm not a fan of the engines as well. I rather have the JT8D's on them and stick with the MD-88's. But if they did have a different engine on the MD-90's, I would want the CFM-56. the 737's and A320's have those, not to bad for an engine. Also, what great sound they have on take off, the deep hum.
@jonahair747 The A320 has CFM56-5B/C engines. The 737 series has CFM56-3B or CFM56-7A/B- series engines. The A320's CFM is a little bigger in diameter. I'm not a huge fan of the scream if you sit up front, I like IAEs alot more on 320s. I also hear the IAEs are alot better when it comes to performance and maintenance.
@EinkOLED Right, but the Hydraulics were off at the time.. I have never had a Pilot say no I cannot increase the thrust, plus the engines wouldn't do anything they're off anyway.
@jonahair747 It adds fuel pressure if the fuel pumps are on, not much though. No fuel goes to waste anyways it continues to stay in the gas tank. It's not like it falls out the back of the engine lmao.
Check out my channel please... I'll add a new video next week.
Cooloney, Jonah! How did pulling the stick back felt? Did it feel heavy? You know the 717 video I responded to you? The control stick feels very heavy! BTW, I did like when you grab the stick with both hands. I like that concept compare to the one-stick concept.
went to JFK from SFO last week on delta 757-200... really nice plane!! i love the winglets. i think i want to be a commercial airline pilot too, even if i am a girl, idc what people say :)
@dassie84344 That is so awesome, pretty rare to see a female Pilot these days! Keep following your Pilot future! I'm almost there ;) By the way, if you have a camera laying around, record the landing and takeoff's.
@jonahair747 thank you!! and my camera sucks so i don't use it =\ oh and i have a question, have you flown a plane before? like a cessna? (or besides using flight simulator) i told my dad i was interested in pursuing a career in being a pilot but he told me that it's pretty much unrealistic for me since im already 16 and that people usually start earlier than that :(
@dassie84344 I was at Manchester airport yesterday, and i watched a female land a Southwest Airlines 737-700 with major crosswinds, and she did better than some of the male pilots!!
if you wait forget tit u will just end up being a private pilot....

@jonahair747 The MD-90s are decent. I don't like the idea of a maddog with engines that are also fitted on an A320.

To be honest, if it ain't Boeing, I ain't going.

This is the reason why hydraulics remain unpressurised on the ground, to prevent injuries and death to ground personnel and engineers.
