@@collin6238 It is a regional airline. It is owned by Delta. 141 is flight training but it has been evaluated and approved by the FFA so they get reduced minimums and hour requirements. It is generally more structured. Part 61 gives you a lot more freedom and can usually be completed much faster but you lose out on those lower hour requirements.
I just finished six years of training and instructing and fly for the airlines now. Do it if you love it, not for any other reason or you won’t be happy. All of this guy’s concerns are valid and it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but if you love it it’s the best job in the world.
Just finished my ATPL in Portugal, starting a320 type soon, and money is realy a struggle but there are alot of ways to do the ATPL, like modular where you take modules one by one ! Work hustle get the money, get the modules and in 3 4 years you will have the ATPL ! money is not the problem, stillness and waiting for something to happen is ! if you are waiting for the 100k to start the ATPL will take longer than doing them step by step ! keep studying, keep hustling and dont give up on your dream !
I was very fortunate, my dad was a flight instructor. I instructed all through college, serving in the reserves as an enlisted Marine and even had 28 hrs in a fighter jet / war bird. The F-4. Every ride I took in military flight training counted as 2.5 for the 1st phase, and 2.0 once we transitioned to trainer jets. I did stay back for 3 months and served as an instructor, and still landed, no pun intended, at my replacement squadron assignment 1 year after joining. They did something really rare for me. They frocked me to the rank of 1st lieutenant, to save me from experiencing a year out in the fleet as a 2nd lieutenant. The most important thing you’ll ever do, is get your seniority date at an airline. Hence, getting my wings in the military early, started the clock on the minimum active duty time I owed them. Which put my back in the reserves, still as an aviator, and at an airline. The military has many platforms that do not have weapons systems. Military flying does not have to involve combat, if that would be an issue for you. It’s the route I recommend to anyone who is pursuing an airline career. If you are in the United States and you choose the air national guard, it’s very possible to end up at an airline by the time you’re 25-26, and I’m talking a major carrier, not a regional. You can use the guard to pay for your college, go to the command you want to serve, tell them you want to be a maintainer at that unit while you go to college and also build time as an instructor. My airline actually hired a 24 year old recently. She made it through the training, and the two years they want you to harden off with the unit, as an active duty member. Study ways to fall asleep fast, it is different for everyone, but I can be out in about 5 minutes, even if I just woke up 3 hours prior, and I’ve mastered short napping. A 20 minute deep nap, and I’m very fresh for 3-4 hours. That covers most domestic flights.
Thanks for taking us with you and I know that english isn't your first language but you speak so well and pronounce everything so clearly have a great time and God bless you 🙏❤
I fly for an airline with routes from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The health concerns are definitely real - don’t discount this boys and girls! The biggest challenges for me is the lack of healthy, balanced meals and constantly changing sleep schedules. It gets rough at times.
Dude you are the best aviation RUclipsr! I want to be a pilot and you help out so much on what to expect and what I need to do! Keep up the good work!!!
At the 33 mark, I love how you explained when you do the flight control check. Many airlines do the flight controls check after startup, but very few do it during the taxi! Nice VLOG!!
@@rossstevenson2532 Most US crews are professional, I would say, as a group, in the airlines I have flown in, I’d give them a 7.5/10, while the foreign crews I have interacted with are at a higher level. I think the difference comes from several factors. 1. More rigorous selection and training 2. Cultural differences and 3. Some of those airlines are willing to fire a crew member for not coming well prepared to a training event, or if they repeatedly showed up to work not wearing the uniform correctly. I have seen and flown with pilots who wear cargo pants, black sneakers, and even crocs. And I have had training events where the pilots obviously didn’t prepare and nobody seems to care too much.
You covered the issues comprehensively. Thank you. Those are the reasons I am not aiming for wide body jet pilot. Additional issues for me is the low humidity and exposure to lower air pressure lowering your oxygen saturation in your bloods.

I'm heading off to lawschool whilst also understanding flying by using vatsim and microsoft flight simulator, honestly both give me headaches but also both are really interesting and once understood amazing to apply to anything applicable
Try looking at British Airways’s, EasyJet’s or Tui’s pilot program. In the UK, Leading Edge Aviation does some sponsorships but nowhere near as many as BA, which does 100, the biggest one I know of. If you are in the US, I can’t help much but can try 😊
Pilot is my dream job too and I am so happy that in Germany (if you get accepted) it costs "only" 10k and you can pay the rest back if you work as a pilot.
I’m just about to complete my CPL (with ATPL theory done) through the modular route. Thanks for these important points to consider! I’m thinking about potentially joining Austrian (though I’d need to up my German). I was always wondering, is there any movement between airlines within the Lufthansa group? Do you still lose your seniority if changing from e.g. Swiss to Lufthansa?
i have one question, for the last few videos you censored the instrument displays. Is there any particular reason for that? I have seen that some other youtubers don't do that. Is that like company policy?
It can be company policy or sensitive information. The PFD ( fat left/right accordingly) contains a lot of useful information about the aircraft, and so does the ECAM (bottom middle). This is probably company policy though!
Probably 10 years ago, I will love be a pilot. Now with my daughter and wife and other projects can't be possible that kind of life... But was always a dream for me... A few days ago I talk with my wife about that but is no so easy. Cost, Time, Travels, lost all the time of my family....
It's been literally my dream to fly a plane since i was 6 years old. Watching you state the struggles you face doesn't just show the stress you cope with but shows your love for your job. I hope to complete high school soon and start aviation school and push towards my goals just as you did. Thank you, @pilotpascalklr, for your lovely inspirational videos and taking us on your journeys. You really moved many of us...❤😢
LOL, as a semi truck driver. Looking to trade in my wheel for my wings, it's funny watching this. We have to deal with all those same issues, including the medical card. Only ours is every two years instead of one, but we also have to deal with traffic and bad drivers In only a fraction of the pay of a pilot.So yeah, I see no downsides🤷🏾♀️
That was interesting. I can't help thinking that this is the kind of job, for all the reasons you mention, not least health, sleep, etc. where pilots should be 2 months ON... and then 3/4 months OFF, doing something completely different. I have a friend who was a pilot for about 25 years (retired now). He talked about finally feeling he was a "glorified bus-driver". This is true ... but the excitement of flying is also true. To keep the sense of excitement, and the necessary alertness, alive, I think most of the time during any given year pilots should be doing something other than flying.
Mombasa...please if you ever come to mombasa please record itt because im from kenya and i live in mombasa i will be happyyyy seeeing you land in moi international airport and if possible shake your hand😅📌💯
Interesting video's! I'm 39 now and often think if I could redo my life I would aim to be a pilot. On the other hand, getting up really early, long day, jetlags and often away from home & family... maybe it's ok😬
Fast food in America is probably the worst part of being away from your home. I would try more sandwich type of meal than wings or burgers. Now to the next video.
Great video once again - Dream of mine to become an airline pilot. This will not "scare" me. Going to introduction day at flightschool on wednesday. Also flying Boing 737'sim there, so if you have any tips/tricks for that let me know?
Really cool video! I was wondering how man days in a month you are basically "on duty" meaning flying/being in a different country and how many days you're actually off at home? Just curious haha. Thanks for the insights!!
Always be aware that the times where this job was glamorous, are over. Times of enormous salaries are over. Times where you have lots of sleepovers in different countries, gone. But if youre still up for it and ready to make a huge debt, go for it
Aye Gude Pascal, grüsse aus Frankfurt. Wie immer top Video :) Weis noch nicht ganz was ich von dem neuen EFA Deal halten soll. Aber es geht auf jedenfall in die richtige Richtung, auch wenn man die aktuellen News hört meinen könnte morgen gibts keine Passage mehr. Aber so gibts dann bald bei dir den A350 :)
awesome video! i have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering. i'm looking into becoming a pilot when i'm older. is it ever stressful at points in your day-to-day life flying? can it be hard to work with other pilots in the cockpit? do you have to workout often to keep your health in check? can it be hard to find gyms nearby your hotel? thank you
Haha trucker here transitioning to being a pilot these hours are nothing we are working 24/7 when otr and basically sleep in a aluminum box every day , no life either.
If you are in a direct program to a main line carrier, fine. If, however, you are doing commercial flying, even in jets, and hoping to be accepted, there are a few things to consider. 1) DEI is stronger than ever. If you are a woman or a minority, you will not be asked, at least initially, to meet the the same standard.. You will receive "extra" training from the carrier to get you up to speed. If you worked hard to get good and you are not a woman or a minority, tough luck for you. 2) Ageism is a big thing. No one says it, but if you are 45 or older, they don't really want you unless you have time in type. 3) For several years, your life will suck until you can pick good lines to fly. 4) This is not a good lifestyle for those who like to live healthy, balanced lives. Marriages die in aviation. 5) I only recommend this as a career for those who have not developed skills that allow you to be home every night. Flying is fun, but when you are doing it for someone else, it is a lot less fun. Hear me on this. HTH.
And of course the most negative aspect of being an airline pilot but one most pilots never discuss is boredom. The job is arguably one of the most boring jobs in the world. Doing the exact same thing day in day out followed by staring at a PFD or clouds for hours on end in the cruise. And that’s it you sit there trying to make conversation with a guy you don’t know desperate to kill some time.
please wear SPF 50 sun screen on each flight!!!! 🙏 i promose you it will make a huge difference 10, 20, 40 years down the road! and skin cancer is no joke
hi, i know you mentioned you end up missing special events due to the time away from home but would you say it can heavily affects your relationship with your partner or it still works out fine and you both manage it and are able to keep a healthy relationship
Hey Pascal, as someone who is considering a career in aviation, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on what people like me could do for some work experience, (for now outside of the airlines), that flight schools might value?
If you can meet with a flight school at Pilot Careers Live, for example (UK only, Heathrow), will be good for airlines. From what I’ve seen, you can’t do much to impress them in anything other than the interview, and it’s not a big deal anyway, they are looking for ambition usually. If you can get trial flights in the aircraft you would start your training in, that stands out i think. If you can work at an airfield a week or show your love for Aviation at a young age, anything you can put on your interview and CV really. To get in a flight school they usually only look at your GCSEs and use a skills checks to narrow the competition.
10:20 Can you find more information about this financial way with EFA? Should be with brain capital but is hard to understand the conditions and, more important, the requirements to get it. Thanks.
Tolles Video, hab diese AC Cam gefeiert. Eine Frage aber, jemals welcher Job, man muss doch da auch früher da sein und hat Anfahrt und Abfahrt? 😅 das ist ja jetzt Standard würde ich sagen. Und der Punkt, dass Geld eine mögliche Karriere zerstören kann, sehe ich auch, allerdings gibt es ja auch die Luftwaffe zum Beispiel.
hey 2 questions 1. why do youblur the pfd in the videos? like what are you hiding? and 2. do you see a lot of stars when fying over ocean at night? and also love your videos
Aspiring pilot here: The pfd being blurred is likely complet policy. Contains plenty of sensitive information. I think they do, as there’s no cloud about you!!
hello , just wanted to ask a few questions . why do you blurr out the displays ? and when you fly to another country and stay there a few days , do you pay for food , taxi and everything ? and if your company has different types of aircraft , for exemple 737 and A320 . do you choose wich one you do your type rating or do they assign you to one . thank you .
Pascal, im not sure how much you'd know here but how similar are your experiences with your current company to us companies such as delta, American or united?
Becoming an airline Pilot nowadays is no longer the glamourous job of which so many in the past were dreaming of, that time is long gone. If you want to pursue and most importantly enjoy every minute of your career as a pilot, stay away from any big airline companies. If you're lucky enough you can end up working for private jet owners, either fly them or ferry their jets ;-)

please wear SPF 50 sun screen on each flight!!!! 🙏 i promose you it will make a huge difference 10, 20, 40 years down the road! and skin cancer is no joke
I don't quite understand what you mean by 'start over' during 'Workplace isolation'. Can you explain what you trying to say?
hi, i know you mentioned you end up missing special events due to the time away from home but would you say it can heavily affects your relationship with your partner or it still works out fine and you both manage it and are able to keep a healthy relationship
We are totally able to maintain a healthy relationship. We've been together for 13 years now. So it is Possible 🙌
Hey Pascal, as someone who is considering a career in aviation, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on what people like me could do for some work experience, (for now outside of the airlines), that flight schools might value?
If you can meet with a flight school at Pilot Careers Live, for example (UK only, Heathrow), will be good for airlines. From what I’ve seen, you can’t do much to impress them in anything other than the interview, and it’s not a big deal anyway, they are looking for ambition usually. If you can get trial flights in the aircraft you would start your training in, that stands out i think. If you can work at an airfield a week or show your love for Aviation at a young age, anything you can put on your interview and CV really. To get in a flight school they usually only look at your GCSEs and use a skills checks to narrow the competition.
I noticed you wear glasses on duty so does your airline have a minimum level for visual correction please
10:20 Can you find more information about this financial way with EFA? Should be with brain capital but is hard to understand the conditions and, more important, the requirements to get it. Thanks.
How come you have to blur out the pfd and nd displays?
I always wonder, why is it that you blur the 2 screens below the glare sheild??
Where is your sushi? 😂
😅
Ayyy new glasses?
Tolles Video, hab diese AC Cam gefeiert. Eine Frage aber, jemals welcher Job, man muss doch da auch früher da sein und hat Anfahrt und Abfahrt? 😅 das ist ja jetzt Standard würde ich sagen. Und der Punkt, dass Geld eine mögliche Karriere zerstören kann, sehe ich auch, allerdings gibt es ja auch die Luftwaffe zum Beispiel.
hey 2 questions 1. why do youblur the pfd in the videos? like what are you hiding? and 2. do you see a lot of stars when fying over ocean at night? and also love your videos
Aspiring pilot here:
The pfd being blurred is likely complet policy. Contains plenty of sensitive information.
I think they do, as there’s no cloud about you!!
hello , just wanted to ask a few questions . why do you blurr out the displays ? and when you fly to another country and stay there a few days , do you pay for food , taxi and everything ? and if your company has different types of aircraft , for exemple 737 and A320 . do you choose wich one you do your type rating or do they assign you to one . thank you .
Where do you eat wings in Philly?
ich mag dein englisch. angenehm zuzuhören. warum sind die displays unscharf gemacht?
Danke dir! Durch Regularien der Firma✌️
Can u ask why you blurred the ND and PFD?
you wanted meeee I wish I knew🎶
Do solar events such as those causing the recent Northern Lights events significantly increase your radiation exposure?
Pascal, im not sure how much you'd know here but how similar are your experiences with your current company to us companies such as delta, American or united?
As there are no crew bunks on the 330, do you get seats blocked off for the pilots to rest?
Becoming an airline Pilot nowadays is no longer the glamourous job of which so many in the past were dreaming of, that time is long gone. If you want to pursue and most importantly enjoy every minute of your career as a pilot, stay away from any big airline companies. If you're lucky enough you can end up working for private jet owners, either fly them or ferry their jets ;-)
Why is that? Can you clarify?
Do airlines get the same hotel for all their crew and pilots if they operate multiple flights to the same destination.
Don’t worry about your “bad English”. Your spleen English is better than many native speakers of English.
Why are you blurring the pfd's and the nd's?
When are you going to Mauritius?
