I'm still working on my CFII, but sure enough in time I hope to make to the airlines. And this tip is very much appreciated. Nice vide! 👍🏽

Ummm… just fyi… it’s: wash, rinse, repeat. But whatever. It’s cool.

Very Van Neistat-ish. Love it.

Brilliant system.

Excellent content, Dan! I love the practical nature of your videos! Thanks for doing what you do; the information is very helpful!

The Zebra F301 0.7 mm pen is the best pen in the world for flying. Bar none.

This was enjoyable and informational. I’m working to become a pilot as we speak. This video help me think about things I didn’t necessarily think about.

Skillz!

CFII with a little over 1200 hours here. It’s a grind for sure. Would like to see what your thoughts are on the airlines current state of hiring. I’m always impressed at your editing skills. Great job 💪🏼

What about your camera gear? Do you travel with a fancy camera or just a tripod and your phone?

Well Done Home Scool Dad

Congrats on the new gig!

Hey man! Ive got that exact same flight bag

did they really hire you without a college degree? what was your salary.

How is it working for netjet

These bags are heavy, around 9 lbs

Great Video! My wife and I are expecting baby number 4 soon and my goal is to be working as a CFI shortly. Your advice is going to help me and my wife make the decisions that we need to so thank you very much!

Wow you think a lot.

How do pilots test for color blindness ? I mean what test did you take in the medical examination from your experience

Go tem em king!

You're a yapper. This is a work bag, not an entertainment unit.

I’m going through exactly this right now. Every flight I’m miserable coz of the situation at home. Just waiting to land so that I can call home. I love flying, I love every bit of it. This is my 16th year in commercial aviation but I feel like quitting,Because of the family circumstances right now. And yes stress has been affecting my performance in the aircraft as well. Stupid FDM exceedances, missing up on paperwork, things like that. Hopefully I’ll find a balance before I do so, and make a sensible decision. This video popping up on my feed feels like a good sign. Thanks Dan.

My cousin is an F.O. flying Airbuses for a low-cost carrier. He has multiple kids and a wife who is a nurse. He recently visited (he was on a solo vacation to the beach). He's got the passion, but I think there are a lot of life variables going on. His late father was a captain for UPS who was married several times. I think they both may/might have fallen a bit near the middle of your graph.

Well said, Dan. Best to you and the fam going forward!

Great advice

Aviation is not a career is a lifestyle 🙏

A 14 lbs roller bag is appropriate for airlines crew who needs its durability for daily use, but for ordinary travelers who travels like once every 2 months or less, it's way too heavy. My TravelPro was around 5 lb weight and lasted 15 years, though I travel much less frequently.

Thank you for mentioning books.

Beautiful video beautiful family Dan! In have the eye of a cinematographer - what are doing flying for a living?? All the best - Grant

Honestly this is the same conclusion I'm coming to. I love flying, but I also would like to have a life with family outside of work. Whats the sense in making FU money if you can't spend that money and time with the family. I'm currently looking for something that can crack 120k a year flying with upward earning potential and doesn't have half of my remaining adult life living out of a hotel (being away from home 10-15 days a month).

To my knowledge, this is the first youtube comment I have ever left. You deserve it. I'm a fellow believer, a regional 121 FO, and a dad to young kids like you. Also a fellow Georgian. Your insight and story is super encouraging to me, and i'm sure to countless others. Keep it up brother!

Thank you for this video King.

He have the balls

It is a Young persons Business.

LOL, my neighbor about a year ago finally left net Jets and got hired by SWA. To hear him talk about it Nets Jets was a miserable place to work.

Well done.

Glad to see you're back at the videos Dan--little did I know I would be sitting in class next to a legend! Seriously though, you got skills man, keep up the good work! - Roy

Holy Moly, your chart is my chart. It’s exactly the same.

I’ve spent enough money on training to buy a house and I’ve NEVER been paid more than minimum wage for flying. NEVER! I’d fly till I was broke and go back to fixing airplanes and then do it again. I’ve never once felt like a real pilot. 100% total imposter. I’m 56 years old and I’ve worn out my hands. I physically can’t do 12 hour shifts pulling wrenches. However, my hands are good enough for flying so I’m getting qualified again. I just passed the ifr written (doing my multi ifr ride next month) and giving one last kick at the can. Enough piffle chit chat, Zen budda meditation crap, I’m going for a ride in the woods and getting back to work. I’ll start feeling like a real pilot when I get a real pay cheque. Or maybe not. BTW, love your videos.

Which charger are you using? The link didn’t work. I’ve got the same electronics as you, less the cameras. BTW, I’m an aircraft mechanic/pilot with 1100 hrs, seaplane, helicopter, CFI. Almost ready for the multi/ifr ride. I think I’m going to like this white collar flying thing.

How long of a commute from your base would you consider living in base? Really enjoy your videos by the way! I'm a 34 year old working toward my PPL (currently at approx. 35hrs) and possibly a career change to aviation. The commuting is one of the few things that makes me worry. I'm in Orange County, CA so LAX would probably be the closest airport where airlines have bases.

Current fractional pilot here…gotta know. Is the grass greener flying for one of the big three? I would love to see a video with your take on the subject. Great job as always, love your videos!

so besicaly, family

i suggest this guy get a job at net jets, they pay a first officer 150k per year

Awesome video! I subbed. Back in the early 2000s I was an ATL-based F/A for ASA (Delta Connection). Reserve for 3yrs was ruthless. 1hr call out. This seems so much better

great content. glad i found your page. Hoping to fly for Delta in the near future. (about to start flight training in January)

I really look forward to your videos brother. I’m really proud of you man. You’re killing it

Nice hat

Really cool angles throughout the whole video!

Great video !
