      @@briancrawford69 There are a few paths to end up in the Ramp Tower. It’s not an official training and testing program like you’ll see with FAA controllers, but many in the Ramp Tower have studied at aviation schools. You can also show an aptitude for the operation by working other jobs with airlines or the city/county departments at the airport and then apply for a position when one becomes available.

Also had a great chuckle when you mentioned flight 763. That is an exceptionally critical flight for connections upon arriving at Chicago, so thanks for lending a helping hand! All the best.

He was so nice and really appreciated me saying thank you.

    It's amazing that a RUclipsr would be able to produce a documentary of this quality... rivaling anything you'd see on television. Jeb, was it just you shooting and recording this, or did you have any kind of production crew helping you? What a feather in your cap that you were able to get this kind of access and cooperation from United to go behind the scenes like this! They obviously have a very smart PR department that understands the value of good publicity.
    As a RUclipsr myself, one suggestion I would like to offer is that the video might get more views if it had a catchier title. I love aviation videos and even I didn't watch this video the first day you released it because the title made it sound like it might be a bit boring. Here's the title I would have used if this had been a video I made: "I Had Incredible Access Behind The Scenes With United Airlines in Denver!". To me, that seems like a more clickable title.

    Denver is very unique in how much available land the airport has in its surroundings for continued growth.

    @Prem-be5kg 2 года назад +9

    This is one of the most detailed and well-thought-out videos that really detail how everything works at the airport. Every time I land at O'Hare or Newark or any of those United hubs, forget even United just any airline hub it's amazing how there will be the same airline just swarming around you, and all of them go through so much just to move. One time, I even landed at a gate in O'Hare from Boston, and then after a few gate changes ended up actually taking off to my final destination from that same gate. And the crazy thing was, my flight from Boston went somewhere else, another flight came in and went somewhere else before my flight came in. Hubs aviation, you have to love it. Thank you Jeb for sharing this. P.S. my favorite hub is British Airways at London Heathrow International Airport Terminal 5.

This video shows just how amazing it is that you and I can jump on a plane, fly across the state, country, or world in comfort. The logistics are incredible. That is why when I am flying and someone starts to complain (I will never fly X airline again), I just chuckle to myself, because it is the safest, fastest, most comfortable, and securest (if that is a word) way to travel. I enjoy all of your videos, but this one really shows the miracle that is modern aviation.

In fact one time they said they were tired of “watching the plane spin” which was the refresh spinner. So I designed a new version with the UAL logo animating as a page refresh spinner which you can see on the video. The staff was also super helpful when we were launching the In-the-Moment app as well. Glad to see someone explain the incredible complexity of airlines.

    Fun fact: the current airport has only been in existence since 1995. It replaced Denver Stapleton Airport, which was a lot more centrally located but ended up being too close to people’s houses for it to expand, which is why they built a new airport instead. The old airport is now a neighborhood called Central Park.
    The terminal, designed by local architect Carl Fentress, is known for its fiberglass roof that mimics the Rocky Mountains, making it one of the most iconic terminals ever.

    These men and women who pilot these aircraft’s deserve so much respect and gratitude…… They fly hundreds of people in one plane and our lives are in their hands and they take good care of us. I remember when pilots were respected and Thanked . Next time you see a pilot maybe say Thank you or if they are buying coffee maybe buy that coffee for them. I do. THANK YOU to all the pilots from every airline THANK YOU to the towers Thank you to the people on here. I am truly GREAT FULL to ALL of YOU. I fly a lot and I only fly United, I am sure other airlines are Great, but I am a baby as it is when I am flying and I am comfortable with United. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN

    As a CSR agent at United at SFO, thank you for showing everyone what it takes to get passengers to and from their destination! It’s a crazy, crazy business that requires a lot of patience, coordination, and time. The revenge travel surge post-COVID has been INSANE! Not to mention that a lot of our stations and our third party partners are SUPER understaffed. To everyone else traveling this summer, please be patient with the agents at the airport! We really are trying our best to make your experience the best it can be, while also keeping you all safe! I can’t even count how many times I’ve had to work fully loaded flights BY MYSELF at the gate (usually 737s!) just because we don’t have enough manpower! But anyways, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS VIDEO! I hope the general public can grasp how many little details play into their flights.

    Thank you Jeb for this great behind-the-scenes video and for recognizing all those important people who help keep the planes moving during connections. It's crazy to see all that needs to happen from the time a plane pulls to when it pushes back. But I think my favorite part was seeing just how much fun you were having. Did it feel like you were a kid again?

    Lovely airport. I was amazed to see how clean this airport was. Truly huge airport - bigger than Delta hub ATL - I am confident that Denver has a very good potential with supports the city provides to the airport as well!

    Airline pilot here, nice to see the gate agents and rampers get some love. Everyone always thinks of pilots but in reality we’re just part of a huge orchestra. The plane isn’t going anywhere without everyone, pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, controllers, rampers, TSA, the list goes on.

    5:30 “up to 90!” I personally just flew out of B95 a couple days ago. It’s amazing the amount of airplanes that United has in Denver
