Is it really that bad? | Life of a Pilot Animation | Real Airline Pilot Reaction 

Hey Pilot Blog! Thanks for this awesome reaction to my video. It’s always a pleasure to have the insights of an experienced pilot! I tried to do my best to accurately represent the struggles of the job! Thank you again :)

Keep up the amazing work! This is not just a reaction, it's a full analysis!

This is a crossover I wasn't expecting lmao

In Sweden becoming Pilot is not only free, the state also pays you just to go to college

This is an prime example of what a reaction video should be. A proper analysis.

This is so cool Denys, I didn't realise you were back on this channel with new content. It's awesome to see you in your element -hope you'll be flying again soon. Cheers, and wishing you and your family the best festive season you can have. 🎄

Well that was a great commentary and hell of a video :DD Had a nice time watching, thanks Captain!

I have already been watched this content in recent days but watching it through a captain's point of view is a privilage 👌 Greetings from Antalya, Turkey 🇹🇷

Denys!!!!! Stay Awesome ❤✈ Hopefully Home Sweet Home can come back soon!!!!! Many thanks for this video 💕💕 Xx..........

Hi dennis! Thank you for your commentary videos I gain a diffrent perspective🎉👑

Denys, thanks for sharing this with us. It's always fun seeing others work humor. I found your reactions very funny. Some of the radio chatter can be very funny. While flying with a friend we were diverted because of some military "Shenanigans" (this was the actual word used on the radio) when some F-16's were in our area. It must be fun! Boys and their toys.

Hi Pilot Blog! What is the hardest job in your eyes? Being the Pilot or the Co-Pilot while flying the aircraft? Also great video! Keep it up!

you should consider doing video analyzes more often it's interesting I like your content and a lot of courage to you

Dude, I freaking love this video. It really does a good job of showing the difficulties of the career in a fun down to Earth way. I remember one time I bid a trip to JFK cause I was gonna get a 15 hour layover in Jersey City at a hotel I like right in downtown. Well it turns out they changed it for one in front of the Jersey Gardens mall. On top of that, it was rush hour and took us 2 hours to get there to cross Manhattan to get there. The morning was the same with traffic. In the end, the layover ended up being only 11 hours (100% legal minimal rest). I was so pissed just like the poor guy! XD I never bid another 15 hour layover again! 😂

Denys, nice video! Don’t know if I was a passenger on your flights but I was frequently on UIA and windrose flights

Ive Been a long time viewer and subscriber of your content Denys keep up the good work!

hahaha thanks for doing this pretty funny, I'd watched the video weeks before xD

Absolutely loved this. Thank you.

Hello enys:)! Very enjoyable video:)! I can definitely relate to some of what is presented here, though I was a Flight Attendant instead of a Pilot. As you say, many things related to working hours are controlled either by the country your carrier is based out o, or by your negotiated contract. One thing that you didn't explain was what "Duty Time" is compared to "Flight Time." Still, I know exactly what you mean by each of those:). Also, one thing the video failed to mention is the random "Drug Screenings" that often go along with international flights. They can eat away at your time off as well. In general, though, the video was very interesting and funny:)! Thanks or sharing it with all of us, and I wish you and your family an awesome week:)! Lee

Thanks Denys, funny reactions for sure and a good story from ZBS😅

Yes! He’s back!

Thank you for the video it was great 👍

Thank you, Denys! It is really very enjoyable to have your professional insights. Slava Ukraini!

Sometimes i feel excausted as a passenger, so for the pilots and cabin crew is way harder if you think that the scedule is 24-7.

It's just nice to see you smiling for once!!😎💙👍

Awesome video! Greetings from a student pilot from Poland!

Wojak and ZBS will become a legendary channel lol. I'm a trucker and was very amused by the trucker video depiction.

Nice video, keep it up Denys!

Lmao nice video also funny and educational commentary Capt

There was some video you posted a long while back where it was quite cold and you wanted to be sure of just how cold. You popped open the window in the cockpit and poked out of the window and said something along the lines of yep it's cold :D. Best funniest thing I have seen and made me a fan of your work.

Flying to Kathmandu with an ATR-72? Interesting...🤣

the funny thing with “rest period” is its based on how much money the airline will lose the longer you stay on the ground. I mean, rest period starts right after chocks in. While you are literally walking yourself outside of the cabin, through immigration, and exit the airport and repo your ass on the shuttle service to your hotel, REST PERIOD has already commenced. Your drive to work already saps your energy And your duty time starts an hour and forty five minutes before departure, your rate only starts once you have sent your acars(attendance) from inside the cockpit of the aircraft. But with all the papers you have to go through (diversion airports, certificates, weather reports, notices to airmen, flight plan, etc) reporting on time would literally mean you’ll be unprepared for the flight. Then you get the f*king jet lag. Today you fly to a +3 utc, four days later, you are back home to a +9 utc with one day off only to fly the following day a 16 hour flight to a -5 utc. You haven’t even recovered from the jetlag from your previous flight, you are already battling a 16 hour shift. And, the most important part, every 6 months, we undergo proficiency checks where literally our jobs are at risk. The test involves a series of ‘’god says fuck you’’ type of events in a span of 2 hours. During your day offs, you also have to answer to emails and you also have to do computer based trainings which have exams btw. Each enrolment have exams at the end of the lesson, you fail those exams, you get grounded with no pay. You need a different type of mentality to get yourself in to this kind of profession. Pursuit of money is not enough to get you to stay in it. Its not the most difficult job or the most dangerous, but it’s a damn pretty hard job for sure.

i love your videos because your the goodest pilot

What a nice video, cap!

Here in Brazil, The cost to become a commercial pilot is 180 thousand to 200 thousand, and private is 50 thousand to 100 thousand. Everything is expensive here 💩🇧🇷💩

Wow I haven't seen anything from you in forever. I was worried.

Zero Budget + Denys = best combination of both worlds ❤ loved it! Greetings and Glory to Ukraine

Lol. This was my first few years at my regional in the US. 24 years ago, I was eligible for food stamps for the first 6 months while I was flying passengers. Time has changed over here for sure!!

Good insight on the tribulations of being a pilot. My cousin flies for a commercial airline in the States, maybe I'll send this to him. 😂

Here in Mexico, I live about an hour away from the AICM (Mexico City's International Airport), and there's a hotel near my house. I've seen multiple times how some airplane crews arrive at that hotel, and I have always thought that it must be extremely annoying for them to be so far from the airport, especially since, during peak hours, the traffic from the hotel to the AICM can take around 2 or even 3 hours. The only good thing is that it is a very comfortable 4-star hotel.

Great video!

Hi Denys, was fun. 😂

Yaaa... that's real Kathmandu, Nepal!

In EASA (Europe) rest time is the same as previous duty time or 10 hours whichever is greater. I can't imagine how good it would be if our rest time was twice as much as duty time, but fortunately it is not and many pilots operate even night duties of over 10-12 hours with only just enough time to get to the hotel, have some food, sleep and go back to work.

PB has the cutest accent on YT no changing my mind

It was a very interesting video. It reminded me of when I actually took the first piloting exam for Turkish Airlines. At the time, I didn't even consider the cost of the education, even though I stopped studying for the second stage of the exam due to something else that came up that year. Now, I find it hilarious

Lit video as I wish to be a pilot

hey den big fan of you nice video have u thought about flying for any new airline or differant plane! enjoy please get back to me

I'm gonna go to flight school next year! You inspire me alot captain❤

очень интересно то, что я английский понимаю на слух плохо, но ваши видео понимаю отлично. Как по мне, у Вас отличное произношение

Як тобі легко вдається розповідати так багато речей такою простою англійською) Знаю стільки ж слів, але зв'язувати їх в речення - складно)

That was was real funny Denys. 😅

Afaik Wizzair gives you free food, according last year briefing given pre-assessment. Ryanair now gives you a free 0.5 l water bottle/leg, but started recently (like 2 years ago).

Ahh yes, Zero budget story’s, the most accurate thing to adulthood.

Nice

When I subscribed your channel and watched my first vedio on your channel when you in 100K now i am watching my 2nd vedio now you have 1M subscribers i think I waked up after coma😂 anyway what achievement🎉

Oh my boy found this one on budget story channel.. i been like i hope youtube will recomend this video to me yesterday but today youtube does that...😂🎉

My childhood dream was becoming a pilot. My sleepy ass can't be a pilot.

in europe we have same rest as duty rule..... with a minimum rest of 10 hours ... I did many times that you land in the morning after flying all night and the same day you take off again in late evening for another night flight

the sad part is that UIA stopped operating due to the war. hope that you are doing well and found a replacement position. I know that there is a shortage in the US, so there might be some positions. wish you the best of luck

Крутой видос! Люблю тот канал и приятно было от тебя увидеть обзор)

I sadly remember when I was on vaction I was checked by security 5 FREAKING TIMES and those checks were the random selection one where they "sniff" your phone for drugs like bro I am so unlucky...

Not providing hotel rooms and then fire people for sleeping on floor is good trick 🥴 Was Ryanair shorting crew and they took this as a great opportunity to fire some people? 😅

Hello and have a nice day 😉

I am a wannabe pilot. I may start my PPL in 2024. I have a big respect to every airline pilot in the world, it's very complicated (And not cheap as you mentionned !) to have the chance to be seated on the airliner cockpit. I saw this video 5 day ago, and it's great to have a pilot's point of view

Hello @pilot blog, I have a question. Can people who wear glasses become pilots? also love your videos

There is no double of duty time for the rest time regarding the EASA regulations. So after 12 hours duty 12 hours rest time is legal. Can be reduced by the pic to 10h.

in the u.s. u need 1500 hours before u can fly for an airline, definitely wouldnt say its cheaper

Rest has been equal to duty on a few occasions. ZA regulations are a bit iffy though

Yes the airport terminal and the city picture is of Kathmandu

I’m very lucky. In Poland we have universities that provide ATPL training for free. The only requirement is to obtain a PPL license, which costs around 6000-7000$ here

I want to be a pilot so bad. I don't care about the money, I just want to fly planes cause I love PLANES.

I like this type of videos, they look interesting, but I think part of that video was a joke

I think it would be interesting to talk about psychotherapy and pilots. I'm not in the buisness of being a pilot yet. But it feels like psychotherapy is a very harmful thing for your medical certificate. It's kind of paradox. If someone goes to therapy, most people think that he or she must have a mental illness. But that's not always the case. Sometimes a loved one dies or other tragic events happen. If pilots are "scared" to go to therapy, when they have encountered a tragic situation in their life, it will definitely affect their work quality and probably perform worse. And it might be even more dangerous because they might be thinking about something else while flying and having lots of passengers lives in their hands. It's paradox because going to therapy looks like someone is ill, but if they don't go to therapy and they have an "illness", but hide it, it will be even worse. But keep in mind I don't know how true it is what I wrote. It's just something I feel like observed. Maybe I'm totally wrong.

I hope I become an airline pilot some day

hi i am 11 i love ur videos and i want to be a pilot when i grow up

14:53 Eren's scream related to my reaction as listening Pilot explaining

Dude, in low fair airlines like Ryanair you pay for everything theese days. Except maybe the bolier water. The cabin crew brings their own drinks and that's how you can have a 'free' coffe.

14:27 I'm from Kathmandu and yes that's the real picture of Kathmandu shown in the video .

14:58 I laughed at this part. He was dreaming about his daysbat school qhen learning to pilot. Even in his dream he wants to focus on his pilot memory skills. Haha! Assuming that was his teacher.

Is duty time paid for? Or only flight hours

14:17 yep thats the real kathmandu city back in 2014.

great to hear that specificly my country charges 100 grand for my dream job to come true.

i live in France, should i buy my flight lecons or go by millitary?

Hey pilot blog I’m almost in high school and I know what classes to apply for. What class should I apply for?

I know that pilots fill out flight logs. When the FO was talking under 10K feet did you mention it in the flight log? It seems like a difficult decision because if you log it you can be seen as a 'whistle blower'.

I hadn't watched this video yet, so have killed two birds with one stone! I do find his videos quite funny, and can confirm the life of a bus driver video is sadly accurate.

Btw is pilot school ez?

4:17 deki evrak kontrolu Türkiye'de, as bayrakları :D

Without regulations, airlines would be working pilots like mules non-stop!

Arono dennys i thing the best job in the world ✈️😊

About duty times talking from short haul side- rest time is atleast 10 h or the same time as the duty if its longer.

You look like Helion1ero, dude.

Слава Україні! Дуже дякую за реакцію!!💙💛

Security… ATL based for 11 years. As an airline crew, we parked in the airline parking lot, took the airline bus to underneath terminal C or D and went right in, NO security, until…. Delta employees got caught running guns between New York and Atlanta.. then WE had to get to work earlier to allow time for security, but Delta still didn’t have to go through security… 121.5=delta radio, any US pilots will get it.

Denys watches zero budget stories? LET ME DONATE🤩

Yeah! I am meant for this.

I watched this animation before , it is funny :)))

I want take the License for Little airplane ! This Is enough for me !

In germany, you study at lufthansa and they give you a chance to work for them.
