    This was my last flight working for this company. I decided the no schedule life was not for me so I have now accepted a job for an airline.

You are truly an inspiration OP. thanks for dropping knowledge bombs on us especially at 8:54. Now I know when I look around at choosing a flight school; I;ll ask if they have CFI, CFII, and MEI avalable otherwise I'll go elsewhere. Perhaps South FL where the weather is absolutely much better for flying conditions. Hope to cross paths with you very soon!

    @rodeoswing 5 років тому

    I enjoyed the vid and have no comment on editing for any pilot who puts this level of effort in to sharing their experience on UA-cam. Thanks! What caught my attention (as an aviation attorney) is this: contract PIC with employee SIC--that’s a scenario I haven't seen (unless the usual Captain wasn't available that day.) But it brings up an esoteric state law issue: for state independent contractor rules compliance, that's much better set-up than what I see most days--employee PIC & contract SIC. I'm about to post a vid on a new channel ”preFlite” called, ”Are you REALLY a contract pilot?” But didn't think to include your scenario. One learns something everyday here!

    • @sjohnson0351

      He went to ATP but that’s isn’t really necessary to do it fast. Get your private pilots license and get hours ($200+/-) then go to Florida for fast ratings. I went to sky eagle out of FXE. Not bashing ATP. They did my ATP/CTP and was great. I just think it’s a bit expensive. Save the money for fuel. Biggest tip is to do ur ground school work!!

    @Stew5166 5 років тому +1

    Would have loved to have seen .. HOW THE PILOTS GOT INTO THE CAPTAIN'S SEATS??? ... Really, someone please explain. I looked and both walls next to pilot seats are solid.There's only about 18 inches between the two seats, and there is a tall full length console between the seats that runs from the back of the seats to the dash, that blocks any ingress/egress into the seats. To further complicate things, there's the floor mounted control sticks limiting access into the footwell area. So, just how ... is access to the seats gained???

    • @nicktheav8r269
      @nicktheav8r269 5 років тому

      Daryl Ireland you just have to be a bit of a Gumbi. Step over the center console while bending over so your head doesn’t hit the ceiling; then angle your foot to go between the yoke and seat. It can be a little challenging the first time or two.

    What camera are you using to film this? Almost sounds like a GoPro Inside the waterproof case. Great video just the audio was a little muffled at times. Grab an external mic and edit that in for better audio. Just some friendly criticism but very nice video otherwise.
