An Airline Pilot's Day at work - EDI 2009

[cdlish03]

So way cool!

[radar050976]

Great video. Really enjoyed it. Ryanair I presume, judging by the size of the destination airport terminal ?

[scvs2]

Did you start flight school after highschool and straight to airlines afterwards?

[flyzapva]

What airline? Jet2? Ryanair?

[350z350zify]

what kind of plane is this? love the video

[tombarker94]

modular or intergrated? and where?

[CamaRO9923]

Just got my 1st job on a 737 :). Great video mate :) Where are you based and was that a Classic or a NG ?

[Mesyszor]

Isn't it EPLL Lublinek airfield in Lodz :) ??

[TimeLapseAndAviation]

Currently training to get my PPL in Venice FL, then hoping to proceed to instrument\commercial\ATPL etc. Flying isn't about the money for me, all I could care about is get me enough money to buy a house (even if only a small one) and enough for my family. To me flying comes 1st, the money is just a bonus.

[holylemonimthat]

Please do some more of these videos they're great!

[1982FMJ]

i reckon some commercial airline pilots who fly the big planes over the north atlantic there whole lifes actually choose to make the skies there place for the majority of there time on this planet as they like it so much. its pretty tempting proposition to choose being up there with all the scenary you get and the huge distances you travel. I reckon you're better off being up there than on the ground all the time. it proves we can live not only on the ground but in the skies also

[sudesh071]

hi can u please tell me the pathway to become an airline pilot. please.

[sudesh071]

hi can u please tell me the pathway to become an airline pilot. please

[jon09593]

What did you use to edit the video to make it faster?

[FlyerJuan]

Thanks man! Nice video!

[dd0dg]

Cool video, I'm hyperventilating!!

[wnesbitt1]

Hats off to you pilots. I have a flying phobia, but I will fly nevertheless. Scares the crap out of me and I just don't know how people do this for a living! But thank goodness you do!

[happy737pilot]

@wnesbitt1 This made me laugh! Thanks for the comment. You'll be pleased to hear that I do love flying!

[addew2]

@happy737pilot I was just about to say Ican´t imagine why you woudn´t want to fly! :D

[DamEllSunny]

@wnesbitt1 I love flying to, i dont like crashing.

[BlazingPuppies]

Love it! Want more!

[rOlfFafaN]

[happy737pilot]

@holylemonimthat Good luck with it. I'm sure you will get there!

[Outsourcingfighter]

Great video. Are you a lowcost pilot or a real airline pilot?

[happy737pilot]

@Outsourcingfighter I would argue that a lowcost pilot is the most real kind of airline pilot!

[IslandWorshipper]

@happy737pilot, and I would totally agree. I think they meant to say regional or major.

[minitrundle]

Who do you fly for and what aircraft?

I hope to become a pilot one day and work for FlyBe on the 195!

Grate video!

Keep it up

Happy Landings!

[happy737pilot]

@minitrundle The 195 seems a good machine... it's like a small 737-800!

[hakerztibikuva]

Hey is the first airport is Lodz Lublinek ? because i live near this airport :D?

[moonrunnerlawl]

Absolutely love it

[kelvinhenry9]

hehehe... cool video... how muc fuel did you burn just for taxiiing...

heheheh...

[Jetplane1123]

Best job in the world!

I too am a pilot in-training! I once landed a Cessna when I was 11 in 7 knt crosswinds. I can't wait to work for Air Canada! Good video! 5/5

[HopHipRocker]

@Jetplane1123 I agree. I just landed a cessna a few month ago the first time by myself. Im 14

[sheetbug]

Great video.

If only they had a fast forward button in the cockpit. Sitting there on days ends staring at the same old blue, white and dark horizone wears thin after a while. I often wonder if I'm in the wrong job, but atleast you're enjoying it.

[Airlinerfreak]

Awesome video!

By the way: what is the musics name?

Cheers!

[happy737pilot]

Thanks - it's Jakatta - American Dream

[Airlinerfreak]

Thanks for your very fast response!

Keep up flying and the good work =)

[Airlinerfreak]

Thank you =)

[Sepehr5]

Very Nice! I one day wish i can be a Commercial Pilot =)

[happy737pilot]

Good luck!

[Sepehr5]

Thanks! You too =)

[happy737pilot]

Ah but pprune is mainly for people between jobs. Most pilots are happy even if we do moan a lot!

[Ben123planes]

was this flybe?

[happy737pilot]

Nope!

[thealfa1435]

wow long back taxi at 1:50!!...

[Rwy02]

music?

sweet video!!!!! 5/5

[Sveninou]

Very nice video, I enjoyed it a lot ! I'm starting an integrated at the Sabena Flight Academy this monday 4th and this video made me even more impatient to discover the real deal :) Hats off.

[happy737pilot]

@Sveninou

Good luck out there!

[Sveninou]

@happy737pilot Thank you ! I'm into my 3rd week now, no regrets at all :) (although I already hate the Electrics class, so boring^^)

[happy737pilot]

@Sveninou I know the feeling well! Hang in there!

[DeveloperJermaine]

nice vid!

[sea0020]

Very nice video indeed!

Not only because of the greatshots, but the editing is great. I think it belongs to the rare masterpieces one can find on youtube.

Thank you for sharing!

[happy737pilot]

@sea0020 A total pleasure... thanks for the comment.

[Ramster211]

what song is this?

[RYR9145]

Great video!!!! Would love to become a pilot in the near future hope to see more videos if possible :D

[bobistheman02]

great video

[happy737pilot]

Thanks for that!

[poelaertpieterjan]

Hi, nice video! I will begin my atpl training in february. I'm belgian and do it in combination with a bachelor degree in aviation engineering. What is your advise? do it modular and work as technician or go for the integrated?

grtz! and many happy landings

[happy737pilot]

I'm a modular kid and have no complaints but that was with the market better than it is now. Integrated is better when the market is down. However by the time you finish it's likely to be going up again. Tough call, but I'd head modular and save the money for a type-rating with one of the low costs carriers...

[poelaertpieterjan]

Thnx for your reply! the decision will be a lot of head braking i think... But i'll get out of it:-)

Thanks and happy landings!

ps: Which aircraft do you fly with easyjet?

[rosst210131]

Or Q400 sorry?

looks more like that! :L :D

[happy737pilot]

It's a tad bigger than that... the clue's in my user name!

[rosst210131]

haha, em..... 737? :L

how do they turn on runway, ive never seen that before ! :L

[happy737pilot]

You can turn the nosewheel through 60 degrees using a special tiller which enables the dramatic turns. They turn like a london cab!

[rosst210131]

nice video. is this an emb 190?

what airline Flybe?

5/5*from me!

[happy737pilot]

I trained via the modular route (private). CTC have a good reputation and most pilots who go through them do seem to end up in decent jobs. However it is double the price and I personally thought the modular route suited me better.

[wowky07]

Okay thanks and a very good video (=

[wowky07]

May i ask did you do all the training privatley, or did you join a scheme like CTC wings. Im interested in becoming an airline pilot and want to join CTC wings.

[donnchadh5]

excellent video

[happy737pilot]

Thanks for that!

[johnmunoz18]

thanks

[johnmunoz18]

really great video, one day maybe in 13 years that will be me(hopefully) but can you post a video on pilot salaries because

i want to be a pilot but not a pilot that gets paid bad o'well, by the way im 14 years old and i can play flight simulator x and do everything perfect.

[happy737pilot]

Pilot salaries do vary - you can expect to earn about 25-30k euros as a first officer on turb-props (nearly double on jets), and about double again as a Captain (50k on tps and 100k+ on jets). Hope that helps and good luck!

[bobistheman02]

what aircraft???

[FSimviator]

pg.2 of the comments section states the aircraft type.

[canabisonmars]

Great vid! Gerat job! Great office! Great clouds! What are the airports involved, pls? Thanks.

[happy737pilot]

At airports like this the separation between aircraft allows for very large spacing. Also an aircraft would never be allowed to land with another aeroplane on the runway.

[sealalula]

What happened at 1:51 , why did you turned on the runway ?

[happy737pilot]

There is only one way off the runway. It is called a "backtrack"

[sealalula]

What happens if there is heavy traffic ??

[lowIQ04]

.... =[ i dont think im gonna be a pilot for financial reasons...

[malmo66]

You can be a pilot if you really want it, whatever situation you are in. It just comes down to how much you really want it.

[happy737pilot]

Well hadn't really thought about it... will throw some more up then. Anything you particularly would like to see?

[FSimviator]

I'm sure any footage is great. I just enjoy watching. It's so beautiful seeing clouds, and weather formations, landings, everything and anything flying encounters. I'm going to subscribe to you. I think I watch this video at least once a day.

[happy737pilot]

Cheers FSimviator!

It does have its days, but for the most part I love it (hence I shot the vid). The comments are really appreciated.

[FSimviator]

Anymore videos planned in the future?

[FSimviator]

GREAT VIDEO! I really enjoyed watching this. You have the best profession in the world. I'm sure it has it's days, but even then you have to look back and realize that you have the best job ever. I'll get there one day too.

[walkingtall911]

Amazing video man, Thanks for sharing, what airline do you fly for and what aircraft is that, it looks to me like its a Boeing 737 or possibly an A320

[happy737pilot]

Cheers! It's a 737-800 for a well known low cost airline.

[happy737pilot]

Ah but there's lots of flying to do and not much time to do it!

[ttww74]

you need to slow down a bit on those taxi ways, dont u know there is a speed limit u know!!! lol

gr8 vid

[happy737pilot]
