I really enjoyed this video, it was relaxed, down to earth, nothing fancy or pretentious, yet conveyed the enjoyment of this career path, so well done to you and wishing many years of this awesome career to you! Cheers from Australia (Regional pilot from here, doing it 12+ years now, doesn’t get old!)
Thank God you're back! You're my favourite person to watch for these videos. I'm 14 and I hope to be an BA pilot on the A320 fleet and your videos give me that extra insight and info to get me really excited. Thanks man!
Hello! For someone who is a bit scare in planes, its really nice to see that you have lovely days, with no stress or being anxious. Just enjoying a normal day at work! Next time I fly Im sure ill feel better! Thanx!
Awesome! I did my CPL in 1991 but didn’t go any further. What a great job you have! I’m old now so it’s too late. You’re right, the views never get old and boy I had a great time flying back then. It’s sure better to be pilot than stuck in economy class!
Interesting video! I'm a train driver and we also have these ridiculously early shifts, I hate them because I'm a night person and waking up at 03 completely shatters my sleeping schedule
Really nice video. What I like about it that its not all hyper-glammed up with loud music, CGI pop ups and super slick move production and all that. I like this real "handheld camera feel". You showed us that while being a pilot is an awesome career (what a nice plane and view!) it is also WORK. And this is good to see this snapshot in the life of a LCC pilot, keeping it real. Onward and upward in your career. Circumstances meant I could never realize my dream of being an airline pilot so I will live vicariously through your videos! Have my sub!
@@PilotOli Most welcome! Any chance you would consider doing a review of the Airbus A320neo in Microsoft Flight Simulator 😀 Would be amazing to hear your view on what they got right and what they got wrong! Happy flights! 😎
Oh hello, such a nice video 😊 thank you for being there and have many nice and safe flights Man 👍 hi from around Bristol, but I know Stansted as my own house 😅
Congratulations 🎉! As a CPL myself I know much how strenuous and expensive the training is. It’s certainly not easy. But it’s loads of fun with great views and experiences!!
@@BritishBoy80 Lol you're so wrong with that figure. Try £40000 and they're always too tired and stressed and at a tight schedule to enjoy the 'exotic places'. Honestly you sound like a teenager who wants to be a pilot, not an adult.
@EazyDuz18 maybe the ryanair pilots😂 but the big boys spend their life in the nicest hotels in the nicest countries banging the nicest chicks. you shouldn't get it twisted
Fantastic video mate! Becoming more and more fascinated with aviation and the lives of a pilot and as a Brit this became both very relatable and millions of miles away. Could never do what you do. Please keep them coming
Hi there, Your video is great; I really enjoyed it. Congratulations on making your dream a reality. I often watch this kind of video on different channels, and yours is perfect. The only thing I missed was footage of the takeoff and landing, as that’s my favorite part. Once again, congrats! Maybe you'll fly me on holiday at some point. Best, Fabrice (from France)
Like your videos and i like that you follow your childhood dream so seriously. Very cool. I am not a pilot but i have the dream also to fly one time in my life a big jet plane by myself 😅 it must be a very intense feeling, speeding down the runway and then pulling back the stick to feel the take off. greetings from austria
@@sdohnisvinoreih hiya, i haven't a clue how many hours they have under their belt. i don't think they have worked as flying instructors. they enrolled with CEA flight training, where they both did training in Oxford, Gatwick and then to Arizona. Once they passed the necessary requirements they could apply to the airlines. Good luck to you if you are interested in going down that route. Lots of hard work and horrendous expense. hopefully worth it in the end.
Hi Oli, long time no see - delighted to see that you got to fly to Shannon in my native Ireland - Cead Mile Failte I Aerphort An Sionnann Éireann - hopefully, you will get to visit Ireland more often now, we Irish would love to see you - Living in Manchester myself, I’m hoping to visit my family in Ireland (near Dublin) very soon, as I’ve not been home since my birthday in October 2022 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video! I have flown out of Stansted many times on a Lauda 320. Perhaps one day with yourself at the controls. All the best with your continued career.
@@PilotOlimate you replied! I’ve been binge watching your videos as I want to become a pilot. I’m looking at leading edge but will go to pilot careers live. Is there an age limit, since I’m 13 lol? Keep up the amazing work, I love watching your amazing videos
You talk about that day like it's just going out on your bike for an hour. Don't know how you guys do this, the technical knowledge, the responsibility, the danger if something goes wrong and what to do... Immense respect... great video. 👍
Love your videos. Im 13 and i LOVE airplanes so much and i alao really like aviation. I want to become a pilot for a BA 777 or A380 in the future and this gave me insight into what i would be dealng with. Thanks so much.
@ yes I understand my friend. But don’t let that stop you! Go for it and finance it the best way you can. Some airlines offer training programs with loans. Just do it! I drove a taxi part time for a few years to help pay for my training. It was good!
Who did you do your flight training with? andi love your video so much and think that more pilots should document their flights to give insights into aspiring pilots!
Congrats for your success this far! I will do the same flight in MSFS in the Fenix A320. I thought how about a video telling us about the first failure you faced as an A320 pilot and how it felt dealing it. As being a new pilot, facing a failure could be mentally hard during that part
Would be nice to the times though out the day. You gave us 2:30 wake-up. When did your first, second, third and fourth flights take off and when were you back home?

Thank god there are first officers out there like you. Kids like you always make a captains day out super fun.
@@tangleteaser so kind to say! Always try my best to make each flight as enjoyable as possible for everyone!!!
I thought first officer had three stripes
@@ingvarcarlsson5386 he's a second officer
That came across as quite sinister. Phil Schofield, is that you...? 😅
@@PilotOli that’s lovely I’m a train driver
That sandwich killed all the pilot's glam😂
If a sandwich could ever look depressed and suicidal... this would be the one.
@@Dreadpirateflappy Nothing wrong with a ham and cheese on white every now and again!
A diagonal cut would make a lot of difference.
The asymmetrical cut 😂
I really enjoyed this video, it was relaxed, down to earth, nothing fancy or pretentious, yet conveyed the enjoyment of this career path, so well done to you and wishing many years of this awesome career to you!
Cheers from Australia
(Regional pilot from here, doing it 12+ years now, doesn’t get old!)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how you called it a day out, it made me smile. It's good to see a pilots day through your eyes.
Thank God you're back! You're my favourite person to watch for these videos. I'm 14 and I hope to be an BA pilot on the A320 fleet and your videos give me that extra insight and info to get me really excited. Thanks man!
Good luck mate! Thanks for supporting the channel 😁
Hope you get there jake!
@@CasualGlassEnjoyer Cheers
Same! Although I hope I get a type rating on the 787s or even the future 777x.
👍👍👍
Wow a pilot video actually talking about the job and the life. Thank you for the no bs informative video.
@@brcosmin glad you enjoyed!
This has really motivated me to get up and chase my dream, gave up before covid but now very motivated to continue. Keep on flying!
Go for it!
Motivated????
@@malonejunior2711Yes motivation plays a big part in becoming a pilot. You may have the dreams but you need to have the will to follow through.
@@mahamedahmed-yw6ui couldn’t be put better! You can achieve anything off you have the drive!

Fair play to you mate. Its refreshing to see someone who enjoys what they do. Stay safe! 🤙
I'm looking forward to flying out of Stansted one day and have to learn more about it and where carriers go! Nice video!

you are living the dream of millions i mean this. please appreciate every second of this life for those millions of us that can’t get there.
Dream? Basicially a bus driver with wings, similar pay too

Really enjoyed that! No irrelevant subtitles, no irritating background music. Just interesting information and images!
Love those Lauda air A320s , so comfy
Thanks for the video mate, helps motivate me through CPL exams
Glad to hear it! Good luck for the exams
Glad to hear it! Good luck for the exams
I've always wanted to be a pilot but that ham sandwich has changed my mind....😂😂
Hahaha that was home made! But don’t worry, I’ve made my sandwiches a lot better 😂 and lots of airlines supply lunches
In the middle of flying a multi-day pairing I’m watching someone else fly as well. Not sure why I do this but it’s fun.
Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much and take care 😊
Finally the goat has returned ❤
So kind! Glad to be back
Nic one oli, great video.
He’s back!!!
Sorry for the delay!!! Glad to be back!
Go on the boy! Proud of seeing you go so far

Love watching these planes thanks for the video thanks for your explaining of what you do and where you go
hey..currently going through TR on the 320 ..your videos are really motivating and helpful..keep up the work mate..
Finally!!! Please post more often
I’ll try my best!
Just discovered this channel. Great stuff, keep up the good work.
Really nice video. What I like about it that its not all hyper-glammed up with loud music
Thanks for a nice video. I have never flown out from Stansted though, and I doubt I will as I am 83, live in Essex.

This was my dream job, unfortunately I got sick and could not do this, I almost got my PPL, it was very interesting to study. great video by you.
Nice video. Both my boys have recently started as 2nd officers with Jet2
Hi, Kenneth! I was just wondering how did your boys get the 1500 flight hours? Have they worked as flying instructors? Thanks. Kind regards.
@@sdohnisvinoreih hiya, i haven't a clue how many hours they have under their belt. i don't think they have worked as flying instructors. they enrolled with CEA flight training, where they both did training in Oxford, Gatwick and then to Arizona.

@@sdohnisvinoreihIn the UK, you can join the airlines with a Frozen ATPL. 1500 hours is not needed.
Looks like Lauda, part of Ryan Air. Four sectors is a lot of flying. I fly one sector trans-Atlantic usually.
total respect, thank you and flippin well done !
Well done. You have learnt high level of responsibility & disciple from a young age.
Agreed
Loved this. Thanks for sharing. Really interesting.
Great video dude! You're literally living my dream so subscribed for further videos :)
Love these videos mate, keep up the solid work!
Amazing video mate. I'm currently finishing my PPL studies and hope to reach the airlines one day. Keep it up!! 😍

Thanks so much, your video was the perfect cure for my insomnia. 👍

Very cool video! I also work for Ryanair Group and it is always nice to see those Lauda A320 around. Congrats!
Thanks a lot!
*Nice video thanks*
Oh' to be young again well done young man, remember back for up further back for down. 😊
Thank you for this video. Very informative.
Really good video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing😊
My pleasure 😊
Well done mate! Enjoy that life! You have a job that many people would like to do
Thank you for what you do.
low cost doesnt mean anything.. you gys are doing an amazing job
Very well said! Met some absolutely amazing pilots in my time working for a low cost airline! Thanks for watching
@@PilotOliDon’t kid yourself, low fare carrier pilots here in the US make more than legacy international pilots

Very nice video. You seem like a very respectful man.
Thanks for the video. Can you do one on what you pack in your pilot bag.
Just subscribed to your channel! Had a quick look through your videos, they look like good viewings!
Thanks for the sub!
Never knew this - thanks for giving us a look at your life.
Good to see you relaxing
Great content, in another life I would have loved to be a pilot. Will have to stick to flight sim. Love the A320
Believe me, flight simulators are really, well... more fun. Real life is not what it seems.
Very interesting and that seems like an easish day? No doubt other days are much harder.
Great video and well done!

love these mate! make more longer ones
Good video, just make sure you look after yourself doing all the different shifts eg. Sleep, diet, general wellbeing etc
You look really young! Great video!
Great video Oli
Enjoyed that was really good, what time did you get home?
1:10. I LOVE weather like that.
Yeah there’s something about light in the mist at night
The A320 is one of my favorite planes. I wish I pursued the Pilot career and experienced flying one.
Well done young man. I hope during your career you get to do many Captains only approaches like Funchal 👍
cold bro 💙🥶😰💙
@@DLTFBros cold like palmer 🥶💙
Who did you do your flight training with? andi love your video so much and think that more pilots should document their flights to give insights into aspiring pilots!
I did it with Leading Edge Aviation, a lot of my older videos showcase my flight training
Just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed 😍
Man the satisfaction after work must be unreal. When you walk by the airport after the flights. And that paycheck 😜
Very enjoyable to watch, Do post more!
I’m looking to be an airline pilot one day and your videos really motivate me and are just great 👍

So glad to see a video from you! I was wondering, do you have to pay for the parking at stansted yourself?
Yes, it came off our salary!
Just liked and subbed mate, looking forward to watching
great one Oli! Just missing a bit of chorizo on your breakfast for a perfect day
@@carlossvazquezz hahaha 100% missing the Spanish ways!
