  • Behind every flight is the effort of all our great people. "A Day in The Life" series follows some of our staff through a typical day. In this video, we follow Cathay Pacific Senior First Officer Richard Clausen from his home to take-off. And after a day with Richard, you can meet other members of the team at cathaypacific.com/people

    I had the pleasure of flying Cathay Pacific 61 years ago in a twin engine, tail dragging DC-3 from Manila in the Phillipines to Labuan, British North Borneo. We stopped along the way at a couple of small airports in North Borneo.

    So sad to hear of what happened to your pilots lately due to the current HK protests. I actually like that pilot who informed the passengers on flight about what they could expect on arrival at HK airport due to the protest, so we could prepare what we might see on arrival. It is really great for a pilot to do so. I wish them all the best.

    I've always wanted to be a 747 pilot. My grandfather was a 747 pilot for thirty years for TWA until his retirement in early 2001 that's what got me interested in the 747. Now they are old planes being retired, so not gonna happen...

    • @reminiscentbeing
      @reminiscentbeing 9 років тому +17

      So you wanted to become a pilot for the 747, and not purely for aviation itself? As MrOGseed said, the 747-8i is in production, however, it isn't as popular as the 777. If you really wanted to be a pilot, you'd do it regardless of an airliner being phased out.

    • @reminiscentbeing
      @reminiscentbeing 9 років тому +9

      chris pryazhentsev So basically, it was because flying a 747 made you feel good and look cool? You wouldn't have become a pilot with that logic. You start at the bottom with ATR's and Dash 8's, then work up to 737's and A320's, and eventually you fly the big birds. There's always the -8i variant.

    Not quite, the airline started by an Australian and a US citizen, started as "Roy Farrell Import/Export"...later migrated into Cathay Pacific in honour of the Cathay Hotel were most meetings occured. There is a book called "Syd's Pirates", very hard to find, which details the very interesting history of the airline...the name of the book gives you a hint of how it all started.
