love seeing pilots being happy ! i am 25 getting out of my comfort IT job !My IT job pays way more than a pilot by just sitting at home in my own comfort but i feel dead inside , i am an adult now , money is something i realized never made me happy or feel alive but whenever i travel by air i just feel like a bird with freedom and endless magical destinations! Hope to be a pilot one day !
All you have to do is keep stepping forward in the direction you want, I believe in you keep dreaming!!
As someone in software engineering, I can relate with this. Wishing you all the best, keep doing you.
@@joshm8747 This means alot ! more than you can imagine ! Thank you so much for such kind words ! I hope and wish you and your family are blessed and all their dreams come true !
@@jaany Everyone is so sweet man ! Thank you so so so much
I think we are living the same life lol best of luck bro you can do it!
I’m 27 and am just starting my path to aviation. I lost my dad a year ago, and it makes me so happy to see you share this with your parents. I’ll be flying with my dad in my heart every trip. Thank you for sharing this.
Hey man! I’m the same age and looking to start too. Would love to connect and see how you’re planning on tackling your goal!
@@rossapodaca4177can I connect too? Same age
@@rossapodaca4177 Your not the only one! I'm looking to start my path into aviation soon.
I’m a United pilot as well commuting from MCI. I occasionally get asked what my favorite overnight is. As a new dad, nothing beats the layover at home. Congrats on 100, Paul. Hope to join you on the 756 before it’s gone.
That’d be great!
Congratulations on your new co-pilot!!
I am 14 years old and am interested in becoming a pilot. As a pilot do you have to rent an airplane to learn?
TC If you ever have some downtime here in KC and want to grab a coffee sometime let me know! I'm only a private/IFR pilot but always enjoy talking aviation and astronomy. I'm also a new dad so I'm sure I feel some of those pains you've got going on in your world!
@@tc0330 KC Aviators yeah, Mark Carter
DAL pilot here. Thank you for your content. I truly enjoy your perspective of your endeavors. For those who inspire to become an airline pilot, never give up that dream. I worked 3 jobs while going to college and attending flight training. It was tough, but I wouldn't change a thing!
I an a student pilot now,it is not easy to become a pilot,just same as you,never give up the dream

Just found your channel and really enjoying your videos. Thank you 😊 Congratulations on 100k 🎉
Such a great video, Paul! Thank you!
Thanks for all the great videos Paul, love seeing your travels/layovers and what adventures you go on. I’m a relatively new subscriber and you’re inspiring me to do more travelling! Thanks again Paul, all the way from Brisbane Australia!
Keep up the amazing content man! Youre killing it!
Paul, congratulations on your 100th video! 🎉 I’m a 737 Captain for a major airline in Canada, and I absolutely love your videos. Your videos remind me of just how lucky we are to be able to do what we do, and why I’ve always wanted to be a pilot. Keep up the amazing work! Andrew ✈️

People like you have continued to push my dreams towards becoming a airline pilot. Just the fact that you fly a plane that's like 60,000x the size of an average human is really astonishing to me and blows my mind seeing that only 2 and/or 3 people can control the plane, let alone a bunch of engineers building the whole plane in general. in Addition, carrying 120+ pax to their destination. Truly an amazing job to have.
West jet or Air Canada?
Remember air transat exists 😭
I appreciate the amount of effort you put in all your videos! So easy to watch.
Congrats on your 100th Video, I’m a recent subscriber from Perth Australia and have come to love your videos.
It definitely makes me want explore more of the world 🌎
great videos Paul, great motivation, keep it up, I love it. ATC fom Slovakia here
Love your videos. Congratulations on 100th video. Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪
Congratulations on your 100th Paul. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos and what a great representative of the airline industry you are!
Congrats on your 100th video 🎉 The Henry Ford quote really struck a chord with me seeing how I’m about to start aviation college this coming fall semester. Love your videos! You’ve earned a new subscriber from a fellow aspiring aviator🧑🏻✈️
Another great video! So interesting and liked the packing tips! Your wife is lovely.
Thank you for encouraging us to get out there. Can’t wait for the next adventure !
Congrats on your 100th video, Your channel inspires me more and more to become a pilot, and to travel all over the world. Thank you for what you do. Another Great video.
Congratulations!!! I really enjoy your videos!!
Loved the entire video, especially the bloopers! Congrats on 100 great videos with good spirit, vibes, inspiration and insight!
I’m glad to see you have this new video put. It’s always interesting to see where you go!
Thank you for doing what you do! Kudos
Great vlog Paul. Happy 100th vlog to you. Really enjoying your channel. We are on holiday in Northern California from the UK. Thanks to commercial pilots like yourself we get to travel all over the world and are truly grateful for it ❤
Congratulations on 100 videos! I'm just a lowly PPL but really respect the hard work you guys do to pull the big birds across the Atlantic. I keep looking out for you on my United flights. Keep up the great work!
Great video Paul. Your positivity is infectious and I always learn something new. Cheers!
Love all your videos!!!
Congratulations on the 100th video! Amazing how our kids can bring things into perspective from time to time. Anyway, I came across the channel by accident and I'm glad I did. It is a wonderful guide to travel, adventures and the mystery of aviation. Truly inspiring. I've had recent aspirations to fly and you certainly show the joy of it. Also, as a lifelong martial artist and sometime BJJ practitioner, I appreciate that aspect of your life and think it's coll that you incorporated it in the channel. Keep up the great work! I'll be watching for sure!
Outstanding video my friend. Congratulations on your 100th video and thank you for sharing all of them. Yes, there's no place like Home.
Great video, I love your optimism and view on life and really loved the quote from Henry Ford!
I really like your ability to tell good stories with your high quality videos. You really helped me for my aviation journey
Outstanding video and I loved your reflection and Henry Ford quote!
Congrats on your 100th video! I’ve been following you for a while and love your videos! I’m a pilot here in the UK working on the Embraer 190 out of the fun London City! I also got into RUclips video making and have used your videos as inspiration, I’d love to catch up and meet you next time you’re in London to discuss all things flying!
100 videos!! Amazing achievement Paul, congratulations! I haven't been subscribed for the whole 4 years but I have now watched all your videos and I'm a big fan of your work and it's really interesting to see what it's like to be a pilot! I work with the baggage team at LHR so every time I see a United aircraft come in, I think to myself: Is that Paul?! :P
Keep up the amazing work mate! You are an inspiration to me and so many others!
Fascinating insight into your life as a pilot and the adventures it brings. Have only been following for a short time but I’m hooked 😀👍
Happy 100. And thank you so much!
Sooo cool! Thanks for including the bloopers too 🤘
100th video! Congrats! Had I known you were here at the start, I would have been an avid watcher, as I LOVE planes, flying and travel. Your videos are fun, informative and oh my gosh, you make me laugh. You really do a nice job of capturing it all. Beautiful videos. Thank You for it all!
I love your videos and your unbridled enthusiasm for travel. Keep on and please keep sharing.
Hi Paul, I really enjoy you videos. It’s really interesting to see behind the scenes of what an airline pilot does.
Keep up the great work.
Congrats on the 100th video. Don't sell yourself short your content is amazing. I'm happy each time you have a new video and no I'm not trying to be a pilot or in any way involved in aviation. I love all the places you go and the fact that you truly enjoy the layover rather than sitting in the hotel waiting to leave. Until the next video.....
Lovely video Paul. You show the unpredictability of the everyday life of a pilot so well. And you had a great day (even if it was cold) to spend in Edinburgh!
It sounds like your friends in Edinburgh are like two or three of my best friends. We may not speak to or see each other for months at a time but, when we do, it's like it was just yesterday!
Thank you for another awesome video, and congrats on your first 100! I am so thankful to have found your channel. You truly have made me want to travel again in spite of my severe in-flight claustrophobia that unexpectedly cropped up a few years ago. Next week, I’m taking my three oldest daughters plus the baby to NYC to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway before it ends after all these years. Next month, I am taking our 9 youngest on a month-long trip through Germany and Central Europe. These flights are six and 12 hours, respectively, but watching your channel has helped me tremendously in looking forward to the excitement rather than the flight there. I love the bloopers at the end, and the behind-the-scenes look. Your lovely wife has a great sense of humor 😂 I promise not to ask any pilots any stupid questions lol 😅 I get enough of those myself thanks to my large family and know how annoying they can be. 😅 Safe travels always, I’m looking forward to your next video already!
Congratulations on your 100th video Paul! I am grateful that have started this channel… I have learned a lot through it and enjoyed your adventures very much.
As a colleague and as a friend I am inspired by your work!
Keep inspiring us.
Thank you!
Love this video. I love near London and will definitely take a trip to Edinburgh now!
You are a GREAT videographer! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us! So much fun to travel along with you. ❤
Always great content and the part with you and the wife reminded me of my wife and I lol just funny silly and real. Blue skies my friend 👍
Nicely done Paul and a great quote from Henry F. You keep it very real and true that’s why your audience appreciates you. Safe travels ✈️
Good job, Paul! Congratulations on your 100 videos! Living vicariously through you from here in the cheap seat of retirement! I truly do love retirement but I miss all my old friends at United! Fly on, brother! 😊
Hi Paul, thank you for taking us along on your trip, how you pack for your trip, how your life as a reserve works, what you do on your trips and how some of the job works. Plus the bloopers and add ons at the end were cute. Ken
Such an interesting video....I always watch your clips...thanks for your efforts in educating us non pilots.
Just found you brother. I'm a huge aviation geek and love these behind the scenes videos. Keep them coming this was an enjoyable watch. New subscriber here👍🏻
This is awesome. I went through Edinburgh to golf in North Berwick and St Andrew’s. First ever international trip for me. Thanks for sharing.
I ABOSLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONTENT! JUST SO INSPIRATIONAL AND ENTERTAINING AT THE SAME TIME!!!
From one Minnesotan to another Love ur videos. U r so down to earth & kind. I’ve learned a lot about a Pilots life & it’s always fun to see ur adventures. Kudos to United for allowing u to video some of ur job.
Congrats on your 100th video! Always great content. Especially enjoyed this video..we just returned from Edinburgh. What a wonderful city!
Congrats on the 100 videos! You are an inspiration for me, I am pursuing an airline pilot job and you have provided some great insight. I just passed my private pilot check ride, I've got a ways to go but will make it happen! Cheers from another MN local pilot
Love your channel my fellow midwesterner, thanks for what you do and show us. One day I hope to fly for the airlines
Every single video of yours brings tears of joy to me. Thank you for sharing all of this, Paul!!
Man your establishing shots are so professionally done it's hard to take you seriously when you say you're just a guy with a small camera. Love your cinematography, man. Kudos.
Wow I just landed on this video and listening you say its your 100th is so amazing. I'm extremely happy to be a subscriber ❤😊
Great video and loved the Friends references!
Nice to see another excellent quality video Paul. Being a travel & aviation nerd myself, I debate if you're a travel vlog which scratches the aviation itch, or vice versa. Whichever it is, I'm certainly enjoying the view behind the curtain you consistently provide to us.
This is one of my new favorite channels ❤️✈️
Your channel has been very inspirational for me, I’m starting my aviation course in June this year and your videos have been a great motivation on my journey towards making my first step. Thank you.
Always nice to watch your videos.
Watched it with my wife this time, and for once she really understood what kind of life I’ll have in a few years (currently on IR-ME training)
Congrats on #100!!
Paul, you bring a smile to my day. Loved the quote from Henry Ford. I'm working on getting my medical back after 10 years and look forward to getting back up flying again. Thanks for the great video. The bloopers are great. The immediate regret reminds me of things I say to my wife. Haha
Congrats on the 100th video. I'm just a random dude that came across your channel one day when I was bored working from home. I just went on youtube and was searching pilot day in the life or something and your channel came up. Been watching ever since. Your videos are fun to watch and insightful. I don't work in the industry and it's way too late to change careers to be a pilot so I kind of live vicariously through the videos. I do travel a lot for work so that's part of the interest.
Scotland is awesome. My wife and I went back in October 2022 for two weeks. By far our favorite vacation. Arthur's Seat was incredible. traveled all over the Highlands. Just and incredible place. We've been longing to go back ever since and watching you there made me want it more. Though we did fly from IAD to EDI on a 767 and then back to EWR on a 757. United Gold FTW! Keep up the good work
So cool!! I’m in highschool right now and I can’t wait to be a pilot like you. So jealous 😂. Great videos keep up the flying!
Great video, Paul. We stay 30 miles from Edinburgh and it was interesting to see it from a visitor's point of view.
Paul, absolutely brilliant video!! Now listen the whole video was excellent but the bloopers…. Awesome!!!!! We are all human and to err is to human. I think it brings it to another level, your being a big celebrity and is being humble civilians 😂😂😂😂. I seriously hope one day I get a flight with you would be great to meet you. All the best and keep up with the great videos.
Congrats on your 100 video the best pilot ever
Hey Paul! Your videos are super inspiring and awesome, and I can’t wait to join you all in the airline community! ❤✈️
Pilot working on his Commercial License here. Your vid’s get me excited and motivate me to get to the airlines! Keep it up!
I really enjoy this insight into the world of the guys/gals that pilot me to my destination. As I usually fly United, it is especially interesting.
Paul, I absolutely love your videos; especially those bloopers! Greetings from Pretoria, South Africa!
Thank you for sharing your experiences
I have watched a lot of travel and airplane videos and yours are my favorite by far. You’ve got a great voice and you’re precise in what you say. Not long winded.
I find your layover life so fascinating. I hope to get my pilot's license and fly commercial planes one day! Please keep making more such videos :)
Congratulations on your 100th video. Good for your daughter keeping tabs on that.Loved the bloopers.
You are just excellent! I love your sincerity!
Just subscribed - Keep up the great work. You provide more insight on the airline industry than given credit for. Safe travels!
My mom is currently in Edinburgh, sent her to The Scran and Scallie and she loved it! Thanks for the intel!!
