My REAL Day - Airline Pilot, Hawaii

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 2 мар 2018
  • (Filmed In Coordination With Airline Management And The FAA)... When you fly 8 legs a day and only have 5 to 20 minutes between flights, things get busy FAST... So here's what a REAL day looks like in my shoes. Flying as a Part 135 pilot means many of the responsibilities that are shared by multiple crew members are shared by just two pilots. It's a fun, tiring job by the end of the day.

    When you have a headset that costs more than your car...

      That’s his own, $1000, personal headset. The Captain wears a David&Clark headset. If they were company issued they would both have the same brand headset. A lot healthier this way. You don’t want to be wearing a sweaty, stinky, community headset.😬

      Sasha the headset is an investment though. Since it will last a lifetime, and having a good headset is good for the ears, so albeit expensive, it’s still good value for a pilot in the long run

    No other industry would "get away" without paying for your time from the moment you start working for them. To only pay pilots for "flight time" should be addressed by not only the Department of Labor but Congress.

      If they are being paid hourly, then yes it's a labor violation and they would probably have a strong case to sue the airline. Problem is, it would probably get them blacklisted from flying commercially ever again. If they are salaried, it's a different story.

It was hard work, but still one of the best jobs I ever had.

For you to have your pilot license and go one to get your instrument rating and now to be a first officer even on a small airline is ONE BIG feather in your cap. I will be adding you to my following list. As an American of 76 years, I see too many young people that have no direction in their life. Keep on doing what you are doing and make us proud of you.
