Pilot Attacks Angry Passenger - LA to Vegas | TV vs Reality
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- A TV series that ran for one season that almost every flight and cabin crew that I know loved was LA to Vegas, this is episode one of the series where the pilot ends up coming out of the flight deck to deal with an angry passenger.

What I love about TV airplanes is how tall the celings are and how wide the isles are.
Large wide-bodies like the b777 have a very high ceiling but you are correct, smaller aircraft like the a320 and b737 are super cramped
Unlike reality haha
I wish I could fly in a TV airplane lol
@@gregorymazulli4854 that’s one of the upsides to being short. I’ve been a passenger in an a320 lots of times. I can more or less stand fully upright even next to the window… depending on how close together the seating rows are.
Oh yeah tell me about it I managed to get myself invited onto the flight deck of a 737 after a flight and I barely fit into it I nearly bumped my head on the overhead panel
The best part about this is seeing grown-up Freddie Benson
I heard a (possibly apocryphal) tale of an Ward Air flight in which the captain (or FO) said "If you enjoyed this flight, please tell everyone that you flew Ward Air. If you didn't enjoy it, please tell them that you flew Air Canada"
The sense of humor fits with WardAir but it might be apocryphal because I flew WardAir several times back in the 80s and can't imagine anyone not enjoying a flight on that airline. Seriously. Great food on actual china, roomy seats and the upstairs of the 747s I flew on was a lounge! The crazy thing is that my parents kept the details of those trips (to Hawaii) in a scrapbook and adjusted for inflation the price we paid wasn't much more than current day cattle-class.
@@interfrastically Yes, it may well be apocryphal. I flew both Ward Air and Air Canada a few times between London and Toronto, and both were pretty good, particularly WardAir. They both put BA to shame.
During that period, I was flying Air Canada almost weekly from Toronto to Halifax return... The day after Canadian Airlines bought Ward Air, the service on the Air Canada flight plummeted. Choice of hot meal, free glass of wine, etc. all vanished immediately and never returned...
@@stephenwild2058 Did you tell the company?
I used to go to a particular KFC. One day I found service had deteriorated sharply. Not the servers, what you could get. (Sorry I don't remember precisely what it was that bothered me, but it was maybe 40 years ago!)
I wrote a customer card ending "You might think people don't notice, but we do."
The next time I went in, it was back to normal.
I had a women pilot and stand up comedian. We got stranded for awhile and she started a routine! She had us cracking up! We all clapped and cheered her on! I was lucky to get her again (to Hawaii) and she did a few shorts jokes introducing the hostesses… and her landings where great 👍.
When I was fourteen years old, my parents and I moved from the U.S. to the North of England-my father had been appointed managing director of a joint U.S./British manufacturing venture.
My father was already living in England, and my mother and I were flying a BOAC 707-420 from New York to Glasgow and on to Manchester to join him, and we were seated in the first-class compartment along with one other passenger. After dinner and several drinks, the first officer left the flight deck, took a seat in the rear of the first-class cabin, loosened his tie, lay his head back, and apparently went to sleep. Moments later, the flight attendant approached me and said, "The captain requests your presence on the flight deck."
Befuddled, I followed her to the flight deck where the captain, flight engineer, and navigator greeted me, and I was directed to sit in the first officer's seat. The captain began explaining many of the controls to me, and I was even allowed to take the yoke and make some very minor adjustments. (I suspect the captain was actually making the adjustments.) My mother was also invited to the flight deck where the navigator showed her how to shoot stars with the plane's sextant.
I remained in the first officer's seat until we reached the islands off the coast of Scotland when the first officer returned to prepare for landing in Glasgow. I've flown extensively since then, both domestically and internationally, but only once have I again been invited to the flight deck, to take photos of Mont Blanc on a flight from Paris to Firenze, which was pre-911.
Great story!
It's a shame the world can't be allowed to remain simple.
This reminds me of that Russian flight where a very young boy ( I think it was the captains son) basically flew the plane into the ground because nobody realised he had inadvertently disconnected the auto pilot.
@@slacko1971 oh god, if that’s the story I’m thinking of, that was horrifying.
Real cool.
@@slacko1971 I’ve heard that story and it’s the reason that nowadays when the autopilot gets disconnected, a rather loud alarm goes off. To a non pilot or someone who doesn’t know, it really does sound scary. Truthfully I don’t know why most warnings are spoken by the flight deck computer “too low, terrain, pull up” but the autopilot disconnect just woop woop woops at the pilots.
A bad dad joke? As I dad, I can say with 110% certainty, this is not possible.
Well as long as you’re enjoying it
@@74gear Absolutely, if my kid doesn't find it funny, that's his problem 😂
A paradox:
The worse a dad joke is, the better it is. And two places to tie up the boat.
The only bad dad joke is a good joke, therefore, NOT DAD.
The captain is only a SLIGHTLY exaggerated version of the characters I dealt with working line service at our local airport!
This was a great show, and I wish it could have kept going!
The reason he wasn't wearing a sock was because the attendant had taken it in a previous scene.
Exactly!
Yep lol, I thought that was a funny detail to keep consistent!
Continuity, people! Continuity!
I thought it was because he was trying to get laid with that one passenger
I never knew I want to see Freddie Benson from Icarly acting tough and getting taken down on a plane 😂
I just came across your channel and have binge watched so many videos. I am a nervous flyer and you have actually put my mind at ease. I have only been on one flight that was particularly scary, a plane taxied onto the runway as we were coming in and the pilot aborted the landing. My family, on the other hand, were on the virgin plane from Gatwick to Orlando that had to make an emergency landing. For once, I wasn't jealous that I wasn't able to go on holiday! Anyway, thank you for such entertaining videos, I have subscribed!
I was on a Delta flight once when we were over the grand canyon the pilot started banking right and left and telling people about what they were seeing below. It was cool and he seemed to really like doing that.
This show is like a live-action season of Archer.
I spent all night binging your channel and I was just about to take a nap and you dropped this. I guess I can stave off a nap for another hour. I absolutely love your content. Everywhere you land is absolutely beautiful. You're super cool! Please keep flying, I'm convinced you're the best of the best and I'd feel comfortable flying with you
Cars that are in tv/movies have their headrest removed so they can get better camera angles of the actors faces from behind. I assume its the same reason here.
Very good one Kelsey. I happily sign the petition for a "TV vs Reality" of every episode of this series, if possible.
I think these 'versus reality' ones are my favourites, along with the mean comments, which are hilarious, especially the replies.
Mean comments can be funny because it reveals the commenters stupidity
Hey kelsey, great job trying to keep a straight face during the " DONT COCKPIT BLOCK ME " part. Lololol. But can almost read your mind by your facial expression. Love your videos ,keep up the great work . From a fan a few minutes from Bangor international airport, Bangor , Maine. Keep up the great work.
Finding myself genuinely liking some of this show. Wish I had known it existed at the time!
Absolutely one of your top three broadcasts Kelsey - so many laughable moments, especially the “it’s why I fly international..” moment. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I'm sad I've never heard of this show and that it only lasted one season on a channel I've never heard of.
Kelsey, I really liked when you showed the hotel view and we got to guess where it was, and then you would reveal it at the end. Could you bring it back?
I second this.
Yeah, just seeing the different views for a quick second is a unique and interesting idea
PLZ
When you could fly with the cockpit door open, we had a captain that used to put up a rear view mirror to "watch what was going in the back". Fun days as a FA on the Saab 2000.
Saab 2000? What airline was that?
@@buckmurdock2500 Might have been Pen Air
@@buckmurdock2500 Crossair
I always appreciated the captains who would announce landmarks we were flying over. For instance, the view of the Grand Canyon from 6.5 miles up is really something; It both emphasizes its size and the height at which you are travelling, making it also look like a tiny model.
Not gonna lie, the knock the door to turn on the fasten seatbelt thing made me chuckle.
Actor: "...Who flies international, has sex all the time with the passangers"
Kelsy: "And now you know why I fly international"
Hahaha im dead 😂
I have sex-excess so I would recognize it;
Kelsy does not have that I would see it instantly;
Cargo. Yep.
Now those are the cool pilots
@@beverlyweber4122 didn't he in some video mention, that he also flew horses?
@@Zwangsworkaholic Ruh-roh! Hold on there, Trigger!
Time to roam about in the house going "coming up" in a cool voice.
I like to do this at least once a day, usually on a Zoom call
yep :D
Or “ let’s get into it “
😆 here I thought I was all by myself!! Too funny 😄
It's also what he says when he's having a one night stand and the woman is taking off her clothes 🍆
Fun fact, the guy driving the boom lift at 9:08 is a coworker of mine. It was completely unintentional, so he was all happy to get a quick cameo.
That’s pretty cool this was such a funny show! Lucky guy to be a part of it
Now you have verify that he's six degrees from Kevin Bacon.
That's awesome lol
Never heard of the show but I now want to watch it
I put a link in the description hopefully you like it
I miss this show. There were so many “insider jokes” for crew to laugh at…they had to have flight crew on their writing staff.
Around the time of hurricane Irma I was in lga flying to Orlando a few days before it hit and our flight was delayed a few hours the pilot was actually sitting in the terminal with us he sat next to us for awhile just talking with us and handed out coffee cards it was the most humbling thing ever ❤️ I don’t think anyone on that flight was mad about the delay and it was over half empty because they saw him waiting with us too.
Your "Membership Video" is the best...great job, Kelsey! Keep up the great work...fan for life!
In 1988 I was 7 years old, We were flying from Minneapolis (MSP) to Orlando (MCO) and in cruise I was invited to the flight deck to see the cockpit and was given a set of TWA gold wings! Ill never forget that and I still have the wings today!
“And now you know why I fly international”. Classic!
When my wife and I where in therapy, durning a discussion about flying. The therapist asked my wife if she ever had the urge to grab the stick. I told her “that yoke’s on you”.
"Some people love, LOVE using that radio"
Well, you see,
*Extroverts*
Pilot then does a 30 minute PA.
Gotta love the Dice hanging in the cockpit. Haha
Although I am a career, professional pilot, I still find this channel amazing and informative. Thanks.

Hey Kelsey, thanks for this. One of my personal faves, totally relatable to most of us knucklehead passengers.
How come I never knew I had to PULL the oxygen thing even though I ALWAYS pay attention to the flight attendants 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I am amazed that this show didn't get renewed... one of my favorite of all times.... capt Dave is the best
Ditto - I loved this show
Sadly not all shows can be renewed due to budget constraints. Why is it so many of those we like? :(
Thanks for your great videos - I'm not a pilot but it's always really very interesting to see your videos :) Keep on the good work :)
Kelsey, you make some of the best aviation videos on RUclips. Thank you!!!!!!
LA to Vegas was soooooo funny, I loved it. I was bummed when it was cancelled.
*I actually remember the Lost Wages Pilot! I used to commute to L.A. a few times a month, so a couple of times a year, I'd take my wife along and we'd go spend the weekend at the Sands (R.I.P.). I remember hearing that more than once, but it was still funny as hell!*
Fluffy dice! Nice to see I'm not the only one that has them.
Nice. We’d love to see your fuzzy dice.
@@mj6962 I'm not sure if I'd want to see another persons fuzzy dice in any situation... I just don't swing that way
(Yes, this is just a joke)
It seems like every Pilot, Love's, and Flying J between Barstow and St. George sells them. If you do enough driving through the Southwest, at some point you've got to just give in and get a set of them.
That was great. The show is what we need in times like these; to be able to laugh at goofy stuff. Just like when the Reno 911 series shed laughter in policing.
Love Reno 911! And the Tacoma FD show for firefighters!
@@rosegroshek1218 exactly...forgot about Tacoma FD
Oh man, that "MUAY THAIII!!" takedown had me in stitches!
@74Gear thank you for pointing me at the direction of this show.. it was a hilarious 1st season, too bad they did not renew it, at least not as of yet. And also about your channel, keep up the good work! I really enjoy what you create.
Love these videos. Kelsey, have you considered doing a video about the 1970 movie Airport?
I only had the oxygen masks deploy once, after smoke started wafting out of the A/C thingies overhead. They turned them off and back on a couple of times, but they kept wafting smoke.
Nobody panicked; in fact everything got really quiet, except for one little boy who said, "Fire, Mommy."
I was thinking, "No kidding."
I remember one FA went *running* from the back of the aircraft to the front with a fire extinguisher.
We had to keep the masks on until we got below 10,000 ft. We kept flying, though, towards our destination, rather than turn around or divert to some other airport -- maybe another 30 minutes? Not sure b/c "time" was kinda fuzzy during that episode! Seemed like forever!
There were so many extra "Red Coats" (customer service representatives) waiting when we deplaned. But everyone was being super quiet; saying prayers of thanks?! 😊🙏
It was decades ago; some man turned around and snapped a flash 📸 photo of all the oxygen masks hanging down as we deplaned. I always wanted a copy of that photo!
Never been so glad to have taken alprazolam (Xanax) before 🛫 takeoff! 😕🙄🥺 I'm not a white-knuckle flyer, but was feeling nervous that morning, so I popped one. WHEW!
Couldn't decide whether *never* to take that airline again, or *always* be sure to take it! Thanks, Mr. Pilot, whoever you were!!
I understand that. I’m not a white knuckle flyer but it does make me a little nervous. After awhile I figured out it’s mostly the lack of control-there’s nothing I can do to change the outcome of the situation combined with the knowledge that I’m trapped with no way out.
I really liked that tv show. I was bummed when it got canceled
16:24 this is a really awkward parallel to draw, but if you lock your feet around someone's WAIST instead of their neck, you are completely unshakable and have your hands free to choke or gouge or god knows what else. I took down a lot of bigger and stronger opponents that way back when I was a Troubled Kid in a move I dubbed "The Barnacle".
I appreciate you making the bed before recording an episode... very professional.
That captain reminds me of Archer!
Hahaha this show looks great! i'd never heard of it before. Speaking of a hula girl on the dash, i once got to fly as a passenger from Nanaimo, BC to Vancouver, in a beautiful old Beech 18 seaplane. That plane had a hula girl on the dash, & a metal plate on the back of the pilot's seat that said "Aerobatic maneuvers strictly prohibited" and i remember thinking "Aw darn" when i read that. i wonder what happened to that little short-hop airline, i think it was just two guys & the twin Beech & one other seaplane, this was nearly 20 years ago now
Really enjoy your channel! keep up the great work & keep having fun!
Jackpot is what Southwest called their vacation packages.
Thanks so much for introducing me to this show. I really enjoyed it. It has a Better off Ted vibe.
The fuzzy dice are a real thing too. . . . . also Altoids before taking the runway, so if we crash, our corpse will have fresh breath!. Pilot Rituals.
"Pull hard on the oxygen mask to release the gas." No flight attendant have ever told me this !
Kelsey, I think the whole marriage thing started on the 'Love Boat' back in the day. :)
Great channel. At somewhere around 15:20 or so you mention 'friends coming to the cockpit'. In '79 I was in the AF. We flew on a Maiden Flight L1011. Myself, another Airman and 5 other passengers. Of course the Flight Crew. Pilot came on IC and basically called the Maiden Flight, drinks..free. Food..free. Sit anywhere we wanted to and...wait for it......'If anyone wishes to, please come take a tour of the Cockpit and let us show you around'. Still, to this day, the most special flight I ever took.
I was getting my hair cut at a place called scissors and scotch. Basically you get your haircut and get a free drink at a bar and the guy next to me said hey what do you do, I'm a pilot. I thought of this and said to myself yep its true they do have to tell everyone lol
I'm glad you don't have to worry about learning my " Mai Tai" anymore
My takeaway is when and if the O2 masks drop, that a 'firm' tug is required to pop the pin to start the flow...Thanks Kelsey.
Don't panick and pull too hard and break it or anything though lol. (Idk if that can actually happen but I've seen it in shows before 🤷♂️)
@@revenevan11 Understood. There's a difference between a gentle vs firm tug and a hard yank...
@@revenevan11 Eh, you're not going to break anything with a hard pull
I'm a regular on Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and they sometimes have their WI-FI available all the way from gate to gate. If it is by design or by oversight I can not say for sure.
First few seconds they got me laughing.
Can confirm, I've heard multiple times the captain and/or cabin crew say "Lost Wages" when flying into Vegas.
Kelsey, you are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
Hey Kelsey i've been binging your videos for a week or so and i love everything you put up! Keep them coming please especially liked the one where you took that nervous flight attendant to up with the 2 seater :D
One question though. You keep emphatizing that you are a 747 pilot. Is there a "ladder" or order among professional pilots? Is a 747 pilot considered more skilled than lets say an A340 pilot? Is there more / harder training to go through?
I’m not a pilot but I can take an educated guess. Basically most of the commercial planes are smaller and have two engines instead of four. By comparison there are only a few 747s and they can only land at certain airports big enough to accommodate them due to how huge they are.
Therefore the 747 pilots are fewer in number than those that fly two engine airliners.
I've seen people walk around BAREFOOT, let alone in their socks, on airplanes. I'm not even gonna pretend to understand that. That's just gross.
All things considered, many people walk around outside barefooted at beaches, parks or their own yards and few people have any problems with that. So is the floor of an airplane dirtier then your own front yard? Something to think about...
Kelsey is going to get a cargo load of Hawaiian Hula girls and fuzzy dice in the mail next week.
🤣
Princess Koppafili is the patron saint of Hawaiian Aviators. . . Those hula girl refrigerator magnets from the ABC stores.
Welp, I just binged La to Vegas. It was freaking hilarious!
Definitely going to check this show out! When you say Pilots are always reminding people that they are pilots, it reminds me of people with perfect pitch (like me)... well, you know. 🎶😁
Alright he's talking about muay thai though and then throws up a flying scissor choke. This where I tell everyone im a bjj blue belt and wait for you to be impressed....
The bar talk reminded me of an old "The Man Show" bit where Adam Carolla dressed up as a pilot (cant recall if it was Capt or FO) and hung around an airport bar, clearly in no shape to walk around in public, let alone fly a jumbo. Was probably a staged bit, but I loved it. As always, great video Kelsey!
"Learning Mai Thai to take down terrorists." So I need to learn how to fix a cocktail 🍹, or learn MUAY THAI to take down terrorists? 😂. Enjoyed the vid as always. 😉👍👍✌️
I'm glad someone picked up on that one xD
@@Skyried 👍👍😂
Awesome I'm going to check this show out thanks for the heads up!
17:11 I want to fly on whatever plane has aisles that wide!
I bought the series after seeing this video and the wife and I binged it. We laughed all the way.
My favorite bit from this show is when Captain Dave is going on about his watch and says “4.5 pounds of precision engineering, it’s like the Rolex of watches” to the other pilots.
A fellow captain wears a "BOHICA" name badge (no, I will not say which airline). How he was able to pull THAT off is still beyond me!
@74 Gear --> Earlier today, I was watching a plane spotting livestream von AMS, and happened to catch the "Queen of the Skies" from an airline you are quite "familiar" with, butter the landing with tons of left rudder on touchdown & rollout..
▪Thought you might have been at the controls▪ 😉🤙🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸
I love your chanel and videos, I learned alot from them, thank you. I couldn't find a video about the 2012 movie, you should do a hollywood vs reality about that, there's two flight scenes with 2 different planes happening, that would also be interesting to see.
If being able to marry people was possibly don’t you also have to own the vessel
I loved this show. Thanks for this!!!
Man this boiled owl puts out quality content. Can you do a vid on electric airliners (Elon Musks idea)
It’s on the list
@@74gear Nice one. AFAIK his theory is to get as high as possible (60-70k feet) for the least air resistance and cruise using much less power than a traditional airliner would use at lower altitudes. Using a VTOL design IIRC
😂
Sorry dude but it’s not Elon’s idea. It’s way older (like the rest of his ideas BTW)
@@irisfailsafe All ideas are based on older ideas with some small change or improvement most of the time. Once in a great while, someone makes a not so tiny change and a whole market is disrupted. :)
Any job where you meet public can bring you bright moments. I remember when I was running a computer shop one saturday afternoon...
Taking a hit on the oxygen mask is a nod to a sketch on the Donny and Marie show with guest star Ruth Buzzi. Funny flight sketch.
I will never be able to understand anyone who gets mad when flights are delayed due to mechanical issues or maintenance.I'm not. a skydiver, nor do I want to try it unnecessarily.
This videos are my daily cure against boredom and flying nostalgia 😍
I hit the Reno air show back in the 70's when the autopilot was pretty minimal and there was one pilot on a mid size plane who trimmed it out to where it could land itself and he was standing in the cargo door, waving at the crowd while the plane put itself down. He did have to go back to bring it to a stop, but it was a really *WOW* landing.
In the era of the DC-10, I would routinely fly the red-eye from Phoenix via ORD to JFK. One pre-departure announcement I clearly remember took place at he gate with the engines starting, and, went like this: "This is your Captain speaking. At this time I would like all passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seatbelts so I can see while I back the aircraft away from the gate." Unfortunately, this little joke was wasted on most of the clueless passengers.
People with no sense of humor don't deserve to get jokes.
Have worked in flight operations at several airlines, so when this came out, I really found it funny. Sorry the series didn't last longer.
Worst joke I heard from a pilot is he acted like he couldn't remember the name of the destination airport. It was DCA...Ronald Regan National.
I recall seeing a cartoon from about a year ago in which the captain announces 'I'm working from home today" and all the passengers look extremely frightened. However, it WOULD be rather unsettling if the captain were to be walking down the aisle greeting passengers when there was a sudden strong bump due to turbulence, and then the captain said "oh-oh, I have to get back to the cockpit to control the plane" and went running forward.
A bit close to reality - two pilots for Air Transat were arrested in Glasgow just prior to their flight back to Canada - both were over the legal DRIVING limit for alcohol.
Hey Kelsey I'm truly diggin the HUGE pair of fuzzies.. He chuckles!!!!
Hey Kelsey, if you ever do Q&A or AMA sometime soon, a few questions I have for you are how much longer do you think it would take, for you personally, to go from FO to Cap? I've also heard some legacy pilots stay as an FO because their side hustle became a big money maker, and upgrading to captain would kill their schedule. Could this RUclips channel or other endeavors ever convince you to permanently stay as an FO?
The hula girl on top of the instrument panel, yup, a Southwest flight to BWI once. Too funny!
As a new copilot I flew with a Captain that made his passenger briefing with a sock puppet through the cockpit to cabin curtain. (Embraer E-110). How embarrassing.
