Join @jerrywhite2390 and #pilotlife7 crew as they grind out a long day of flying 4 legs across the east coast and the Caribbean. Think you have what it takes to be a charter pilot? Sure anyone can fly these things, but can you keep a wicket sense of humor, while battle delays, international customs, fatigue and weather? Come along in the 4th video of the series of "A day in the life" and the "Real Life of Being a Pilot".
COMMON QUESTIONS:
What kinda of aircraft is this? This is a Legacy 600 aircraft.
How many days do you work, then how many days do you get off? We worked an 10 day on the road and 8 days off.
Why aren't you a "commercial pilot"? I have been an airline pilot in the past, as well as a pilot for an individual company/person. Charter is like airline flying in that the "general public" rents the pilots, the flight attendants and the crew for their trip. There is good and bad to all types of flying in my opinion.
Why does the first officer have 4 stripes, isn't that a captain thing? The first offices (co-pilots) at this company where 4 stripes. It's a company thing, although Brody, the First Officer in this video, was pretty much ready to upgrade.
How many celebrities have you flown? Plenty - but we cant and don't talk about who we've flown. So sorry.
Do you still work for this company? Unfortunately no, the company closed down. Jerry is always looking for a great company to work for.
Why cant we hear the audio from the tower better? Because the audio interface on this particular day did not work. Trust me, I know it would have been better.
Why is the cockpit door open? In charter, the flight door can be left open. It's not a big deal at all.
Be sure to comment below - Jerry will nearly always answer any question you may have.
