DFW to Rome and back. Boeing 777-200 

What makes your channel unique is that its not about the Job itself, its about you! And you are a very interesting, well educated and multi faceted person. Talking about aircraft? Absolutely. Talking about cars? Sign me up. Talking smack about London? Im here for it. I look forward to every one of your videos

Darren, thanks for sharing your adventures!! I also live close and work near the airport, I work right across from 35C.. It would be great to see you passing by any of these days. :)

More videos like these. The only thing I'd want more of is some more details on the actual flight, the 777 and procedures.

Another enjoyable video to watch. Thanks Darren.

These videos are great. As someone who currently just does flight sim, these truly show how human the life of a pilot is. It is so awesome to see basically everything that isn't flying the plane.

Great video. I always enjoy your content. i look forward to see how the short call reserve plays out next month.

Love your channel Darren. One of my favorites 👏🏾🙌🏾

Very nice, informative "inner workings, how things work" video.👍

Thank you for sharing your trip to Rome. It is nice to visit there and walking around to find great cafes. You are right about us Flight Attendants knowing where and how to through so gorgeous airports. For me, on my former International trips it took a few trips to get use to walking through San Paulo International Airport. But I had finally loved stopping for coffee and sandwiches on my own without getting feeling lost.😊

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time and effort to put these together!

Great video Darren! Rome is one of my favourite, yet least favourite places to go! Getting in is always a fun challenge - you really have to work to get onto an approach. I was in last week and we went from n34L, to 16R, to 16L within a five minute time period. Its fun! But man, when you get on the ground, it's a real challenge to get the ball rolling and have an efficient turn around! It's always a relief to get back into the air and enjoy the views of the Alps northbound back to the UK. Anyway, thanks for another great video! Hope you're enjoying the change of fleet.....im jealous! Thanks.

Another great video Darren! I hope I get to fly a wide body someday, your videos inspire me to continue making that dream a reality.

Glad this popped up in my suggested videos. Loved your laugh and explanations. I'm a newby CPL, getting an instrument rating right now. Keep up the great work.

God bless you and all that you do as a pilot to keep all of the passengers safe. I've always respected pilots, up there with doctors -- but watching most of the videos on Pilot Debrief's RU-vid channel, I have an even greater sense of awe for what you do.

HI Darren, Nice to meet you. I'm glad YT recommended this channel. Love the episodes I've watched so far!

My first video of yours... absolutely loved it! I've always wondered about stuff like this. Thank you for sharing.

Hey thanks for the video! Safe travels

Thanks for the vid. brings back memories of me and my wife's trip to Rome 2 years ago, weather was hot but had a great time. Flight 240 was on time out of DFW .

Love the videos !!!

Great video!!!

Great video, Darren, thank you!

Enjoyable Video Love the Trent 800 powered 777

New subscriber to your channel like the content and the explaining of what’s going on some of your trips.

Always a good video when you post

First video I’ve seen of yours. Rome is one of my favorite cities. This is great!

Enjoyed the video! I'm retired but I flew nothing but international (FO) out of DFW for three years, 1989-92, loved it. Then, I upgraded and had to return to 'reality'. I flew mostly Paris. One experience brought everything home to me...Arriving at the layover hotel one morning, we had to wait for our rooms to be made up, as usual. There was a crew lounge with crews from several airlines in attendance. I think the only reason for the lounge was to keep us from clogging the lobby. Anyway, I struck up a conversation with an FB from Thai. This was in the olden days and we were both wearing analog watches. I glanced at his watch and it said 3 o'clock. I glanced at MY watch and it read...3 o'clock. OMG, his watch is showing 1500, mine 0300! Good times. BTW, I am now subscribed.

Great video Darren! I love to experience what it's like to be an airline pilot through your vlogging . Keep up the great work.

Darren your videos are continuously top notch. Glad you got a trip other than London haha, looks like a fun trip

IT CONTINUES.. love it!

Glad you enjoyed the coffee. La Casa del Caffé Tazza d'Oro is fairly priced given its location near the Pantheon. Their cappuccino is fantastic.

Great video Darren!! Thanks for bringing us along as always. Too Good To Go is a brilliant app, interesting way to sample the local food. If you ever come to Dublin please let us know what you think of our controllers and taxiways... some think they are quite hard to understand.

New subscriber! Enjoyed your perspective on your trip. Looking forward to more content like this.

I was in Rome earlier this year, a crew cab pickup would not be my choice to drive. I drove a VW T-Cross which was fun.

Hello Darren 🤗, New Subscriber here. Just discovered your channel today, lovin it.

I saw your flight take off at DFW…I was at DFW Founders Plaza

Next time you are in Rome, get gelato from Fior di Luna in Trastevere. It's incredible.

Darren, You have a very likable personality. Thanks for your channel. Regarding your eye frames. Am I right? The left one looks rectangular in shape with rounded corners and the right one more oval. Very stylish

I like the longer videos

I was in Dallas in December. AA35

If you are near London Bridge and want some good gelato (where my Italian colleagues go) try a place called 3bis There is another place in borough market that does great focaccia and prosciutto sandwiches

I'm a load agent and have AA 289 on my desk often. A 16R departure is usually preferred due to 25L taking a big weight restriction . Looks like 289 usually has to wait quite a while for a 16R departure.

That's gotta be a long stick on that squeegee cleaning the window

Dude, I work at DFW as an Aircraft Fueler, parking at the North employee lot lately has been impossible with how many cars are there

Just now found you I love everything and anything that has to do with planes ✈️… except flying on them I’m so scared any advise ?

Whats the crew rest app? Would love to use this on some flights as an IRO.

I was scheduled to take this exact flight this Nov. But American has dumped it.

What do you think the most common use of a reserve pilot is? No one bid that flight, some one timed out, some one sick, some one stuck somewhere else, all of the above? All my flights to/from FCO the past few years (one very recent) have been on the *kirkland* 777/787 to DFW!

Great video and beautiful cars… but how’d you get frames with right side square and left eye round? 😊😊😊

Hi Dareen! I was wondering if pilots ever oversleep during their crew rest period and another pilot had to go wake them up?

Darren if you’re coming close to running out of landing currency and are assigned a relief pilot trip, can you ask the flying FO to swap with you?😂

What watch are you wearing? It seems very nice to have 3 different times on your watch face. And thanks for making this well informative video!

Enjoy your narrative and type-written comments.

Hey Darren love the videos. You said you’ve been flying for 17 years. How long have you been with your current airline to get WB seniority?

Amazing video! What app is that you use on your Ipad?

TooGoodToGo is awesome! Curious about the phones -- what do you do for international data? Does your company/contract give you some cell coverage or do you buy data SIMs with the per diem?

if there is one thing I learned from international flying is the importance of standard phrasology when language can become a threat. all the time I spent flying in the US, I can say standard phrasology is not as common as it pewrhaps should be. "outta one point five four six" just wouldn't work in most places outside the US.

Hello!! Great content, thank you very much!! I wanted to ask you the name of the app/software from 3:30 to around 3:50 (the one that shows the flight route on a globe)

Greetings from Massachusetts! First video of yours that I've seen. Awesome my brother 😊 Question- What type of training did you have to become an airline pilot..military, civilian, etc..? Looking forward to more vids of you! Blue sky's and safe travels always my friend!!

Love your production. Does AA have their own aircraft engineers based in FCO?

I have a question for you: since you're type rated on the 772, does that mean you're also allowed to fly the 777-300ER?

New viewer, first video, instant subscriber. Does your airline do full crew (inc FA) briefings before flights? Intrigued given your relatively late reporting time!

What headphones do you use to sleep? I assume they are comfortable? Also, are they used to block noise or are you listening to white noise or music? Thanks!

Does your airline still fly the 777 to FRA, or is it 787 now? Will you bid to go to FRA if its still a 777?

do you know what specific day this was or was it filmed days prior. just wondering cause i might have been on this flight. the timeline fits almost perfectly assuming you posted this the day after you flew. 😀

Hey Darren! Great video as usual! About the 85 hours limit, does the contract “prohibit” you from flying more than that? Or in case you want to you may request to fly more hours? Safe flights!👏🏻👏🏻

Hi, i always wondered if driving your vehicle after flying feels so crazy different. I know just driving my car vs another vehicle (bus) is so different.

So if you have a hole month off. Does the airline pay you to sit at home all that time?

Hello sir. I hope our doing well. I just want to ask that I have stutter and I want to be a pilot. Is this allowed? I mean I have stutter mabe like once in a sentence or 2/3 times but it last like for 2 sec. Thank you!!

Do the 777 pilots fly the 777 200s and 777 300s at once?

About the accent, you experienced what the pilots from all around the world experience in the USA

is this what they call dei; asking for a vet.

Have you gotten the pmdg 777 yet?

what watch is that at 2:02 ??

Tesla sidestick coming when?

Do any pilots live abroad and commute to the US to work?

Ivf

USA!!!!!! BUY AMERICAN!!!! "born and raised in motor city). A giant American truck in Rome.

strange frames for your glasses..

American

Slow down. Hard time understanding you
