Stay strong Captain Emilie, better times will come! 👍👍
The Greatest Captains are those who love sharing their knowledge and have talent to integrate people into teams (both in the sky and on ground). Great Captain !
Hang in there Captain Emille! It was a great run for the airlines since 9-11, and I hope to see growth again as soon as possible. You are certainly not alone. My son is an FO with a US regional, and they shut down just two weeks ago. Keep your eyes and ears open for work ferrying, or chartering in the equipment you are certified for. Good luck to you Captain!
lol why did you feel the need to mention the terrorists, it's got nothing whatsoever to do with Canada, that was all on America, it was Karma
First off....Congratulations on making Captain. Second....you, me, all of us will survive this downturn. I have been through bad times in the past, not a pandemic, but bad times non the less and have always persevered. You are young, committed, determined and obviously a damn good pilot. Hang in there, someday you will be sitting in the left seat of a jet.
Thanks Albert :)
hi
Hey, just stumbled over your channel bcs of your flight sim 2020 footages. Great stuff, ma’am. :)
I appreciate that a lot. Sitting in Germany as an AudioTec without concert sounds to make since February when Covid started. As a hobbyist gliding plan pilot I can imagine how it must affect you being laid off meanwhile. It was my dream since childhood days to become a pilot but you made it. Congrats for your energy. I’m pretty sure you’ve earned everything you’ve achieved.
As a child unfortunately I didn’t decide to stay in Canada at my Grand Parents. I went to Eastern Germany bcs of the beautiful sports schools to play soccer. 5e second most important thing in the universe ;).
Funny if I think over how our decisions sometimes leads us far away from where we “belong to”. Flying is the ultimate “re”-connection with the universe, our offspring.
Your decision to walk straight on your path and make your dreams come true was right and that’s why I’m convinced you’ll make the best out of the situation and gain strength by overcoming it. All the best, @xel.
Captain Emilie! Finally! You achieved it with all your hard works. Please don't lose your enthusiasm during this bad time. Everyone is affected by this virus, one way or other. We will win this battle. We just have to keep patient, wait until it fades out and keep venturing other avenues of our passion. Best of luck 👍
Your family must be so proud of you!!! Congratulations on your future success!
This promotion was deserved. You worked hard for it. So all my congratulations from France. Many of my friends, here, young pilots, have the same anxious expectations with regard to their profession, their passion. I have only one thing to say, never give up. The best is yet to come. Fly safe.
Wow, merci! I appreciate the support! Hopefully things get better in France :)
What a breath of fresh air this young lady is. 10 years of hard work and perseverance to achieve her dream and this happens... Many people would be noticeably bitter but she chooses to stay positive and forge ahead. I predict a long and fulfilling aviation career for this remarkable lady.
This video was very well done; I could feel what you were going thru in each phase of testing (I'm not in the airline industry so it was very informative in my opinion). The last 2-3 minutes were a shocker. Really feel for you and hope that a good opportunity comes your way soon.
Congratulations on another video, Commander. Its graceful and friendly way of interacting, makes videos even more fun and captivating to watch. Hugs
I am late to your channel as I just found it researching flying an flight sims.
I Absolutely love your positive attitude, just know that this isn't the first time the airline industry has taken a significate hit and downturn and yet it always recovers. I am sure all of your viewers as I are wishing you all the best and look forward to hearing how and what your are doing to stay focused and busy.
Not only are you a great ambassador for the airline industry but you also represent Westjet in such a positive as well.
Hopefully this current government gets their **** together and steps up to help out our Canadian airline industry so they can retain the skilled worked needed for a safe and viable airline industry once COVID is under control.
They supported the auto sector when they needed it so why not the airlines now.
I would much prefer seeing people such as yourself employed and supported during these time rather then the wasted billions for their pet projects and friends even if it to keep flight hours and certifications up.
We wish you well , and I am sure your parents have got to be so proud of you and your achievements
Sincerely
Wow - you are amazing! Please be very proud of your achievements and motivating others. In the meantime, please keep the videos coming - I am a private pilot (in Ottawa) and really enjoy watching your videos.
I cant tell you how proud I am that you got through the Captains tests. I dont know what its like in the airline industry, but I know my wife has struggled in the past working in a male dominated industry and I know how hard she worked to try to get ahead. In the end she changed careers because she could not catch a break, even being tops in her class each year and getting a scholarship for her last year as top student. I love seeing women in general do well in places that they are not normally expected to, if you know what I mean. Good on ya Emilie.
In my high school yearbook my ambition is listed as "pilot". Sadly it never came true but I can live vicariously through channels like this. Continued good luck with your aviation career.
I loved hearing how you are jumping right into the leadership role during this crazy time. You are owning your role as a captain and when all of this is behind us, you will be able to continue doing a phenominal job.
You have such an amazing attitude and a wonderfully positive outlook. Congratulations Captain !! - I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for you and what you endured in the pursuit of your dream. Way to go Emily !! - very proud for you - God Bless You
Another dad and pilot here. Great chronicle of your journey Emilie ! You had me stressed ! If this virus thing were not affecting everybody, this would enough to bring a guy to tears ! Ah hell ! 😢 Rest, regroup, feel the love ? 🇨🇦🙏
Thanks so much Collin!!
Wow what a journey going from First Office to Captain then dealing with lay-off. When this is all over you will be back stronger than ever from all your positive experiences. I work for Nav Canada and I have been lucky enough to keep my job so far with my seniority. It is heartbreaking see how my co-workers and many other people in the aviation industry have been impacted by this pandemic. Keep your head up Emilie you will get through this.
Hi Emilie... So nice to see you progress successfully in your career. Lots of hard work, but well worth the effort. Things will turn around and I wish you and yours all the very best.
As a worker in the aviation industry I really do understand your situation. On the positive side, aviation will come back and so will your job. This was a great video Emilie.
Howard - Fellow Dad here. Of 20- and 30- somethings. Couldn't agree more. So great and cool to see these "kids" LOL succeed and achieve their goals/dreams. Super congrats Emilie. Your family should and must be very proud of you. Hope that Covid doesn't keep you from flying for too long. Be well.
Thanks so so much Kent!! I appreciate that!!
Congratulations on your upgrade, I know how that feels.
Before I became a C-141 Flight Engineer in the Air Force, I worked on Flight Simulators stationed in California and Washington. I was in the maintenance and operator side of the B-52, KC-135 and C-130 Flight Sims. I flew all three including the C-141 Sim for a total of over 1,500 hours. Since I was already a pilot in the beginning and then a Commercial Licensed Pilot before I reenlisted, they had me do all the flying of the Simulator to report any of the problems, mostly on third shift. All that experience helped me when I finally started training for C-141 Flight Engineer.
Congrats to both of you....so very impressive👏👏👏👏👍❤️🇨🇦
What a marvelous presentation. You have been working on your speech, mannerisms and body language. There was never anything wrong with you in the past, you just upgraded your skills. Always proud and inspired by you Emilie.
Hah!! Thanks so much for noticing Ken! Slowly working on improving all those 'ums' Thank you once again :) I appreciate the support
@@Pilotemilie Captain's require lots of Ums for their talk to the passengers!
You grinded and earned your captains stripes through sheer hard work and effort , things will pick up again , unfortunately it may be a little while. As soon as the people in charge get their heads around this virus then they will be needing all the experienced pilots they can get . stay positive and keep your chin up
Congrats on your short term upgrade. Keep your head up high, we will all get through this!
Fingers crossed! Thank you!!
So great following you Pilot Emilie. Just joined your subscription. Sad that you are going through this COVID19 mess. You are so upbeat and positive. Very enlightening. Remember your stint at DRC. See what others go through with little or nothing. Let that experience carry you through this strange adventure. Stay positive and you will come out even better on the other side. You have achieved a tremendous amount in 10 years. The best to you.
Congratulations Captain Emile. Life throws us curve balls on a regular basis from all sorts of different directions. All we can do and must do is keep stepping up to the plate and go out swinging. Your a very smart woman and a great leader and Captain.
Hi Captain Emilie! First of all CONGRATULATIONS on getting upgraded to CAPTAIN. I just finished your series of videos and they are awesome!!!. But this one shows not only how proficient you are as a pilot but also how great you are as a person, you blew me up with your positivism and your charisma knowing about the terrible effects of the pandemic just after you had been upgraded. I wish you THE BEST!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm always impressed by the folks I've met in aviation and pilots are consistently amazing people. So much goes into being a commercial pilot, let alone a Captain! Truly a great accomplishment.
Thank you so much! :) :) :)
Your panel skins took my back to when I went through USAF Flight Engineer school in the 90's....retired in 2013 with ~4300 hours between 5 airframes. Keep up with the great content!
It has now been a year since you posted this video. I hope you are in the left seat again and doing what you love. Stay strong and I believe that the pandemic will be with us for a while still but we just need to manage it and learn to live with it. The sooner the world learns to manage it, the sooner we can get back to some kind of "Normal".
Congratulations on your promotion!! 👩🏻✈️🛫 Your family must be so proud and I’m sure you are ecstatic. With all the hard work and hours you must of put into it , you certainly deserve it! 👏😊
Thank you so much!!
I’m glad to know there are people like you out there.
Hi Emilie, came across your channel when looking for reviews on flight Sim 2020 and have now subscribed to your channel. Must say your videos are brilliant and very informative. I would like to congratulate you on achieving Captain status and would also like to convey my heartfelt commiserations to yourself regarding your current situation having been laid off so soon after gaining your fourth ring. This can't go on forever and I'm sure you will find yourself back on the flight deck sooner than you think. Meantime stay positive and be assured you have the support of all the subscribers to your channel.
Captain Emilie. This is hands down the best ever clip that I have seen that truly shows just how how much work and dedication and passion it takes to make it in commercial aviation. I am not a pilot but my brother in law is, so I do have "some" idea of what it takes. God bless to you and your partner :-) All the best, blue skies.
Thank you Danny!
Congratulations captain,wish you safer flights ahead on your pilot journey 🙂,all the best.
Thanks Albin!
Great video Captain. The description of of the training process you show is very accurate and the emotions that entail are so real. 40 years of commercial aviation, 23 years of the wonderful Dash 8 of around 15000 hrs and I'm sure more than 50 sim training events. Your description of your feelings as you go through your training have been felt by most Airline Pilots.
You have chosen a wonderful profession. The people that you work with and support your flights are like family even if you have never met them. These are tough times for the traveling public but even worse for airline employees.
I have been retired for 5 years and watching some of your vids tugs at my heart.
Things will get better, Best of luck, hold tight, Go Girl.
Craig, comments like yours mean the absolute world to me. Thank you!!! I always look to people, with experiences such as yourself, for inspiration throughout my own career and to push myself to grow as a pilot & human. I know this is par for the course, but it means a lot to hear some encouraging words from someone who's been through rough times as well (and in a comforting and non condescending way, might I add!). Enjoy your retirement, I wish you all the best. Thanks again Craig :)
Hi Emilie, As a frustrated pilot from childhood I’ve been following “in cockpit” vids for a few years, but I only today discovered your Chanel and I fell in love straight away. Of course with you but your content is fantastic - so real, honest, and practical. Hope you find a job ASAP. I’m sure any company who knows what’s good for them will snap you up immediately aviation recovers. Why not come across to Australia? Stay strong and keep that beautiful smile.
Emilie you are such an amazing woman!! The accomplishment of becoming a Captain is something you should be so proud of.
The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely created a lot of uncertainty for thousands of people. You are one of the amazingly talented and gifted women who will survive anything. Your personality and enthusiasm will see you through this.
Just know that there are times in life when you will be the one lifting others up, and times when you may need to be lifted up by someone else. The very best part about life is knowing that there are people who are truly genuine and care about other people. Everyone who has subscribed to your channel can see something special and unique about you. Yes that does include me😉!! Please realize that you are not alone, and if you need to talk about your frustrations we are here to support and listen.
COVID-19 has impacted nearly everyone. I actually have to watch patients insert a q-tip an inch into each nostril, and then try not to laugh when they think it is not in far enough. Some people stick the q-tip almost into their brains 😂😂😂😂. The ultimate joy comes from knowing that I helped make another person's day a little bit better by telling them a few days later that they are not infected with COVID-19. Hopefully I can make your day better just by letting you know that you are the coolest female airline captain ever, and if you need to vent please feel free to do so😊
Keith, thank you so so much for your heartfelt comment!! It's seriously amazing to hear that feedback from a genuine person. Thank you so so much for your service in helping all of us get over this crazy pandemic. I really appreciated reading your comment this morning!! :) Hope you are taking care of yourself through these times
Watching your journey to become a captain was a fantastic insight into what it takes to achieve the status & skill. Your enthusiasm & professional attitude is fantastic & admirable! I do hope that after the global pandemic is over you will resume your career as a CAPTAIN. Thankyou so much for sharing your story. These hard times will not last forever....I look forward to seeing you fly again in the next chapter of your career 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
Phil thank you so much!! What a thoughtful comment :). I appreciate that lots, thank you!!
Whoop, whoop!
Exciting to follow you on your career.
Cheering on ya!
But I get so confused when you mention the right seat and points to the left of you.
Edit:
Dang! Laid off just when your career just started off?!
I feel for you since this happened to me too.
Hang in there and stay proficient and NEVER LET GO!
Congrats on the promotion, glad you're making videos again. Don't be surprised about how your video blew up, you have the right personality for this.
Lol thank you!! Just still... it's so foreign to me!!
My sincere congratulations on your upgrade from 1st Officer to Captain. A wonderful achievement and you have my admiration. Regards, Charles.
Thank you so much for this video. First of all, congrats on your upgrade !!!! Before COVID 19 hit Ontario I was days away from doing my CPL flight test. Now, it is likely that I will not return to flying until September or later. Thank you so much for the positive and encouraging words. This video was a great motivator for people like me (in school) who are finding it difficult to cope with the uncertainty in our flight training. I loved how you showed us a bit of your world and how you coped with the PPC stress and life stress in general. I hope to be in your position some day and I just want to say thanks for sharing this! Keep up the awesome videos.
Thank you for bringing us along on your professional journey. Most of us will never experience all the hurdles you’ve had to overcome to become captain so it was really educational for me to get a glimpse of what’s involved. I hope you get back in the left seat again soon!
After every sun down, there is night for a while and the after the night the Sun comes back again with new light. You are a real motivator and strong person. I wish that when i am flying on an airline, you are the pilot of the plan.
Another thing, my friend. Keep those epaulets in a place where you can see them every day. Keep that pride and let it drive you.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Congratulations, Emilie, on your upgrade! Well done! I know how it feels, I was upgraded to captain on the A320.
Sorry to hear about your layoff! Don't give up hope, this will not last forever and you will be back, for sure!
Best wishes from EDDF
Thanks a lot! :)
i love the 320
Congratulations on the 4 bars, Emilie!...thanks so much for taking us along on your journey! I'm so sorry to hear of your layoff...we'll get through this if we stick together...stay strong, keep smiling and good things will come your way!
Your enthusiasm and commitment is so infectious. I think you’re flying again at least I hope so. Truly enjoy your videos.
So nice to see someone so excited about their job
:D
No doubt about it...you will be recalled as soon as this nightmare is over. You're talented and professional. I wish you the best in your new role as a captain. Peace!
Thanks Gustavo! Just gotta wait out this storm for a little...
@@Pilotemilie one for you and your colleagues, from Mentour Pilot: ruclips.net/video/R3MCWJa1xZo/видео.html :)
You are doing great. Life gives you nothing for free. It’s ok to be anxious as this is normal, the key is always to have a calm mind irrespective of the chaos. Rooting for you!
Thanks!
Extremely motivating message - shows what one can do with a goal and LOTS of hard work. I was let down to hear about the temporary job pause, but super glad you got to Captain before that happened. Congratulations! When this ends you can hit the ground running at the highest level.
Thanks Brian!! I appreciate that :)
Congratulations Em. We are so proud of your captain strips. You are an inspiration. Wonderful video. I love the message at the end. You have a new subscriber
It's so nice seeing someone doing well in their chosen field and enjoying themselves while they do it, despite the challenges along the way. Congrats. Fingers crossed that the problems that have come with covid will be relatively short term.
Thanks Sorarse. I appreciate that :)
Thank you for this video of the captain upgrade experience. It gives me a bit of an insight to what my daughter went through, at about the same time as you, in upgrading to captain on the E190. It's incredible how quickly things went from boom to a bust in the aviation industry.
Here's hoping the recovery in aviation is a quick one and that you are back in the air before too long. Love your positive attitude in the midst of all of this. Best of luck to you.
Thanks so so much! It's crazy isn't it? But I appreciate your support & congrats to your daughter!! That's fantastic
Emilie, you rock! I appreciate your sharing with us. You're in my prayers and I respect and admire your achieving your Captaincy. I send my best vibes to you.
Thanks so much Nathan! Appreciate it!
As a dad to a successful daughter and son I’m very proud of you in many ways. God Bless you and if or when I ever get to fly again I wish you were my pilot.
Thanks so much Howard. That's super sweet. I appreciate it
Pilotemilie I hope your working and not furloughed. I use to fly a lot until anxiety overwhelmed my life. I miss traveling so much. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and we’re both retired. I worked in the film post production field for 37 years and helped make many movie’s you’ve probably seen or heard of. Take care of yourself and be safe. I look forward for updates on your life on You-Tube. 🙂
@@aaaaaaa1ism Unfortunately, I am laid off (I talk about it at the end of this vlog). Hoping you can slowly work on improving the anxiety (I find using guided meditation helps me a lot!!) and you can both fly again soon. :)
Pilotemilie I mean this sincerely and with all respect if you need anything in between jobs my wife and I would be happy to help. We are financially secure so there’s no problem. I did notice at the end of your video you were furloughed but I was hoping it changed by now. The news here in Los Angeles is saying more people are starting to fly now. 🤞
@@aaaaaaa1ism I really really appreciate that 💛. Thank you
Congratulations on your success! Im not a pilot but enjoy aviation and your videos.
Oh and you made pilot before Captain Joe! Canadian pride!
Hahah! Thank you! I may have made Captain on the Q before Joe (lol).... but he's got YEARSSSS of experience more than me!! He's a pro in so many ways!!
@@Pilotemilie ... #Captainjoe videos are very detailed and informative he sure knows is stuff. Thats how I found your channel.
Hey Emilie.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Upgrade story was so interesting.
I first flew the Dash 8 25 years ago and only flew it for 4 years (so never got to fly the Q400)
Thanks for the trip down memory lane with the flight deck videos and your tales of the stress and pressure of the training!
Your words about the situation in the industry are so true. There will be a recovery and we will rise again!!
Stay positive and you will find where you're meant to be.
Really enjoying your RUclips videos and your fun personality
Take care
Thank you Brian :)
My childhood dream was to be a pilot. Seeing your enthusiasm and hard work is a joy to watch! Congrats even if it is hella late!
I am so very sorry to hear of your layoff! You've achieved something significant, once an airline Captain, always an airline Captain...even when you have to begin again at another airline! I'm the number one FO at my current company and was a CRJ 200 Captain for 5 years at my first airline. Im sorry you didn't get a full month or two or three of line Captain experience...it seems as though alot happens in that time, good and not so good. 8ve been through 2 furloughs, 1st one, flying 727 200 cargo, i never got called back, but at the second company...my first passenger airline, CRJ 200, I got back...a year after 911 attacks.
The industry goes through alot of ups and downs, but it recovers, evolves, and survives. You will do likewise. You seem to be mature, down to earth and strong. You will come through this! Be flexible, keep flying as best you can if you can...the doors will open again!
In the states, at my company, we are funded through September. October will be the "tell" for airlines in the USA. We are all in this together! You are young, stay social, virtually with Covid19, you will get through this! 😉🙂
Thanks so much!! I have a lot of friends in the States so definitely hoping things pick up a little before then... Thanks for the words of wisdom. Odd to think it's comforting knowing that other people have gone through this, but it just means there's a light at the end of the tunnel eh? I appreciate your support :)
@@Pilotemilie , we're all part of the same team! Down here, we're already seeing an uptick in passenger loads, barring a significant resurgence of Covid19, things might come back sooner than later, but I am realistic.
Super cool upgrade Emilie. Your the best among the team that's why you were chosen to be captain. God is in full control hun and he will put a smile on your face to know you have reached to the top in your achievements . It is not time to give up on your dream but pursue it wholeheartedly. Strive for excellence for it motivates you to become a professional in your flight field. Awesome video and can't wait for the next. Bye
:) Thank you!!
Welcome Sophia
I salute you Captain Emilie! You take us all out of ourselves; our worries, our fears and our free-floating anxieties in these uncertain times. You are a delightful person to see and hear. Your humilty and humanity weaves a web of spontaneous affection and warmth in our hearts for you. As my edentate granny used to say as she sniffed a pinch of snuff; "You have nature." Sending you a confetti of choice words of love and strength.
Being a commercial helicopter pilot, I really enjoy your videos. A lot of what you do is the same for us in the rotor industry. I don't know if you're back to work yet. We went through struggles as well. I hope you're doing good, please keep the videos coming. Congratulations on your accomplishments well deserved
One intelligent and smart lady. You're going to go a long way.
Congratulations on your achievement....a crown in your life!...I love aviation but am not a pilot. What I like about your video is that it shows your spirit. I want to share this with other people who are wondering what to do with their lives and want to realize their fullest potential and despite setbacks that WILL occur, you must have the strength of character and attitude to endure and overcome. Be strong and once again congrat's on that 4th Bar!
That's super sweet, thank you Rich! It was unfortunate timing, but I'm learning a lot!! Thanks for the support & for sharing!!
That’s great....I’m so happy to hear that...
I missed you...
May the force be with you!!! Congrats from Brazil!!!
Wow, congrats to you for achieving Captain, that's amazing, ... you're AMAZING!!! Hang tough, I know that it's so so difficult but we will all be stronger on the other side of this. My best wishes to you! 😃
So very happy for you. What a great accomplishment.
Thanks Paul!!
Congrats again on that monumental achievement. You're amazing. Hug! We will get through this.
Showing this channel to my 9 yr old & 12 yr old girls. I love showing them strong role models. Thanks!
Thanks so much Kevin! Best compliment to receive :)
Emilie, stumbled across your channel this morning and found your experience upgrading to captain to be quite challenging. I am excited to go back and catch up on past videos. You are an enchanting young woman and I sincerely hope that the Covid stuff will not slow you down. I see you already have a gig in DRC. God's speed. 👍
The DRC Diaries are a throw back, but thank you Len!! I appreciate it nonetheless! :)
Yes. You're right.
We have to think positive way and survive until airline industry getting better.
I working for LCC in Bangkok.
And I still have a recurrent simulator training this month, but pilots cannot be sure about next month flight.
This pandemic is cruel and really bad.
We didn't expect something like this.
But let's keep flight!
Thanks for sharing this journey and inviting us along for the ride.
My pleasure!! More to come! :)
The Dash 8 400 is my fav commercial Prop planes. I have flown it is X-plane a lot. Don't fret you got this lady.
I can't say I know how you feel. I can't say it'll be ok. I can say "one day at a time". Keep your chin up. Try to be positive. You're awesome! Thanks for sharing your journey even though your fear came true. Kia Kaha! Be Strong!! Love from downunder to you and all the pilots suffering out there. Peace.
Definitely! Thanks so much Neil! Just one day at a time right? :) I appreciate your support!
Emilie congratulations on your new appointment from a fellow captain to another and welcome to a whole new world 😉
Congrats, Captain! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Thanks Gary!
Congratulations for this promotion/upgrade to Captain, Emilie. You are not only a very professional, talented and hard working pilot but also wanted to say that you are a true beauty. Much love. Take care, stay safe...
Thank you so much! :)
Awesome Captain level i knew this would happen all along, Congrats Big time keep them straight Emilie. I am so happy for you !!!!!!!!!
When things open up, and they will, you will be in a great position. Hang in there!
Well, that's some achievement. I can understand the intense frustration created by this crazy Pandemia. I passed my PPL checkride just before the lockdown in France. At 54 I was at last able to fly a plane. It's been only a couple of days we are allowed to fly again. I wish you will be back on your track soon. Can't imagine we can leave talented and skilled people like you for long. Keep your positive attitude and thanks for sharing your journey.
Congratulations!! Huge achievement!! I'm happy for you :)
Future pilot here (currently at college to be an aeronautical engineer!), congrats! The Dash 8 Q400 is one of the most interesting aircraft i've ever seen! I've flown it on these home simulators (like Prepar3D and fsx, but nowhere like IRL) and it's so much fun! (Of course without the IRL pressure and workload and without failures) Hope you're doing well during this hard time, especially for our industry. Cheers!
Congratulations from Kenya! brighter days ahead, we shall prevail and return to the skies...
Sorry to hear about the layoff just after getting the leftseat. But I believe all those studies and hardwork will reward you back when things comes back to normal.
Congrats Emilie on the Captain. Thanks for informing and stay safe.
I started in the industry in 1978. Boom to bust was the name of the game back then and world economic events will always affect us. Layoffs and airline bankruptcies and mergers were commonplace in those years and many of us became ex-pats to keep the dream alive. Never get depressed folks. The industry cycles and you will be back. In the '80s, there were a lot of AC and CPA seniority numbers driving cabs or back flying floats. Make the best of it, don't forget it but don't let this downturn define nor dissuade you. Cheers, and keep your chin up! This too shall pass.
I'm definitely learning this and trying to navigate through all of it! Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing all this with us, I really enjoyed listening and watching what you have achieved. 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you!!
Keep the faith, dear. This will be over some day soon. From what I've seen from your videos you will be a great Captain (you're already a great pilot). I would be comfortable flying with you any time.
Starting my airline journey at the end of December with Encore. Your videos are a blessing! Can't wait to fly the Q400
Congratulations to you, and I hope you are flying again soon. Your explanation of the items covered during the checkout was wonderful. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Yay! Glad you liked it!!
Q400 is one of my favorite aircraft in P3D flight sim. I have a lot of fun flying it. Best of luck to you. I've been very lucky in my profession because Covid19 hasn't effected me at all. I'm still staying very busy.
Please continue to make these videos. Talk some more about flying the Q400 too. We flight simmers try to emulate real pilot procedures and fly the aircraft as close to real life as possible. That's what makes it fun.
Thank you! I'll do my best :)
Congrats Emilie from an old flightsimmer in Sweden ! Good luck in the future Emilie !
I am a retired B747 captain and I know the feeling of going into the left seat. Best job in the world!! Congratulations!! LOL< I remember the fatigue well. I got a 2 1/2 hour FAA oral, 2 1/2 sim check and then went right into a 2 hour LOFT. I actually fell asleep half way throught it. Our check airman was very cool and just laughed at me so I understand what you went through! Again, congratulations.
Congrats Captain, best of luck on this new stage on your career, thanks for sharing ...!!!
Great video. Great to see into the aviation industry. Really sorry for the layoffs. You are really skilled and things will work out, it may just take some time. Thinking about you and other in this position.
Thank you very much! :)
