Anyone who's watched this show and still decides to work at Buffalo must like frigid weather and being worked like a sled dog for a slim chance of building flight hours.
I couldn't deal with Buffalo Joe. Not a particularly nice fellow. People at the top that behave like that create a toxic atmosphere in the whole company.
I couldn't imagine working for a company like Buffalo and a boss like Joe. Worked like a dog and nothing but broken promises.
LMAO, the guy having a pee between the two engines at 19:45. Tell me if I am wrong.
Year ago living in Poole uk saw them Electra’s flying over my house , think they were postage carriers then , good to seeing them in Over seas 👍
At 5 minutes into this vid THE FLIGHT ENGINEER is NOT adjusting engine speed, these T56s are CONSTANT SPEED ENGINES
Prop pitch??
@@harpo6203 more power = greater pitch and greater fuel flow
I'm not sure CJ has the" right stuff" to make it at Buffalo... but if he brings some humility into his character, he could be a great pilot.
Yup. He’s got a bad attitude for sure.
Good to see the Union Jack on the Electra!
Why?
@@pvp64 Because I'm British. I would have thought you could have deduced that.
@@pvp64 😂🤣
@@thomasm1964 🤦♂️
@@thomasm1964 I still ask why?
I can't believe this was filmed like 11 years ago. I remember watching this show on Discovery channel and that is weird because I haven't watched TV for like 10 years.
Every. Single. Windshield. In this show. Is. Cracked.
There may be a shortage of gravel for roads up there. So they use crushed rock, which is somewhat larger per piece and more likely to break windows.
Also at -40 windows can crack easily.
@@georgegonzalez2476agreed, have actually lived there briefly - was just busting balls. pretty sure he’s got a 2023 super duty now anyway
Every time I watch Ice Pilots I'm amazed that people work for Buffalo with the poor attitude they have towards new staff.
Mikey is a great guy very kind
Did Joe just complement the crew, buffalo must have froze over!
Compliment
Delayed only by 10 minutes my hats off to all the crew members especially Buffalo Joe you guys are awesome
I really like the Moustache on captain Morgan there. Wonderful lol
I think CJ might need a complete attitude adjustment... you can't treat ppl like that if you ever want friends
I am quite pleased that he told them to shove it came To be a pilot not a labourer
Another great episode. Only one complaint, Graham's kid wearing a Barcelona football shirt !
Door opening limit is 40...the wind is at 48 and they still open it partway before closing. These guys are the Keystone Cops of airlines....There must be an upper limit on IQs as part of their hiring process.
30 below and 40mph winds - I don't know how they can work outside. Sometimes they aren't wearing gloves, parts of their faces are exposed - I would think frostbite would set in within minutes.
In Texas. We had a brutal 0° snowmageddon and we had no water for 5 days. My dad's house still had water and gas and electricity so I always had a shower available 20 miles away. Our pipes burst in the freeze and no water for 5 days but also, the electric grid froze and no electricity and no heat for 3 days. Our apartment stayed 64° the whole time. I just can't go without a shower every day but I got one every other day then.👍🏽
People dont need to shower everyday, it's ok to be a little dirty. Save water!
Having been in Texas when some snow hit its not that bad, Try colorado up on top of a mountain with a tiny winding dirt road we got snowed in so bad that the power lines broke, and it went up to the roof and took like 2 weeks for the local authorities to plow up the road then come and plow us the area around the house so we could literally leave the building. I lived in colorado for 3 years and had the worst snow in like 60 years that year was intense.
@@pilsplease7561 damn.
@@jeffrey9224 I did shower every other day. I'm a clean freak so I need to shower everyday before work. Luckily during snowmageddon, work was not open due to dangerous driving conditions.
@@pilsplease7561 Actually- the storm he is referring to (if I'm not mistaken) was a record breaking ice storm that took down the whole state's power grid, the natural gas literally froze in the lines so they had no heat, and because it never snows there- they had no plows, no experience dealing with it, no infrastructure that's ready for it. If it's not the one he's referring to- it happened none the less. It's far worse down here during a serious winter storm than it is in a place like Colorado where they deal with large snow events several times every year. 246 ppl died during the event I referenced above- literally froze to death in their homes. Well- most of them did anyway- since the ambulances, police, and fire were down and couldn't help anyone- ppl were just on their own. Once their cell phones died- that was that. So, I'm sure some of them died of other causes because they couldn't get any help. Most of them were older ppl of course- but it took little children as well, which is unbelievably sad. I think if I were their parents, I would've burnt the house down trying to save them- I'd set myself ablaze if it would save my kids. But I'm sure they did all they could- it just wasn't enough.
33:50 They need a giant DC3 sized Herman-Nelson.
Stay in school & have good grades or you endup like this** good phrase for the kids
Geez, all I can say you would have to be a dedicated or crazy or perhaps a bit of both to live and work in such appalling conditions, how the hell do they do it, it’d be the same as living in a freezer! Thank god I live in Australia
Mee too I live in Perth western Australia 🇦🇺
Having lived in the Arctic and subarctic areas of Alaska, I can tell you that some people just don't have what it takes to live there and some do.
As a business owner myself I can’t believe they don’t have their own de-ice truck. The amount of money wasted on labor mopping on the fluid, waiting for it to warm up is crazy it would pay for itself to have a de-ice truck or even make one. Get truck or full size van with a gasoline engine because they run hotter, put a 100 gallon tank in it that has a heat exchanger in it, run the engines coolant to it so it’s heads by the vehicles engine, then use a pressure washer to spray the fluid on it.
This was filmed in 2013
I just enjoy watching these vlogs it seams really had work from Jeremy mellor England
What vlogs? Do they do vlogs or are you calling this show a vlog?
Just before the 20:00 mark the dude in the background under the wing is taking a leak.
Good catch 😂
Whats in that water though?? Cloudy af
Diffuser on the tap, air bubbles.
There was no passengers on that last flight😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
haha at 19:48 somebody is pissing good in the background while cory is talking!
Yup
That's insane to fight all the elements and danger just so the freight can get through. What the hell is so important it can't wait a day or 2???
What else but...💰
People have to eat
Any one else see the guy peeing between the engines it's way to cold for that
Struggling! This is what I feel from watching the video. The whole industry is struggling. Why?
The tent on the right side tail wing? Think the narrator means horizontal stabilizer?
You have to be a masochist to work for Buffalo!
Honestly CJ does seem like a wuss. But I have to side with him when it comes to his coworkers trying to boss him around, tell him not to come to work. That’s complete bs, I would have given that guy a good mouthful thinking that as a grown man he can talk to me this way. Secondly when CJ decides to speak with the higher ups they just brush him off and laugh at him amongst themselves privately without any shame.
This is a clear example of how the Buffalo hierarchy works. Definitely doesn’t show good for them , and more than likely not a great place to work at all unless you’re in the Royal Buffalo Family.
Flew these with Channel Express UK
CJ needs to look into a job at . . . McDonalds
Wonder what the Electra is going to be replaced with eventually
If you go to Mikey's youtube channel he's got a video about them buying a 737. Apparently they're almost done with the regulatory red tape to be able to fly it home from England.
I wonder why they can't invest in a small stepladder to help getting up and down from the wings. OSHA would not approve their technique of taking a running jump onto the wing.
watching from africa ...how do this guys survive there...its like being inside a fridge.
And they're looking at you in Africa asking how you survive there, it's like being in an oven lol
@@Cramblit 😂😂😂the irony
No it isn’t. It’s like being inside a freezer.
Guy casually peeing in background at 19:50
Such miserable conditions; worse than what I knew in NH in the 1960's.
Man that truck would never pass a Inspection. The Windshield is cracked and the driver's door does not fit and seal. Being an Owner of a D. O. T. Registered Trucking Company owner, I ask how you can get away with such equipment in a area much more savage than the U. S.A . ?
Where did Justin go to ??
In another episode, they mentioned he quit to start his airline.

Hell on Earth
Dennis here. Thanks. Ey.
I've never seen/heard grown men cry every episode about their job's.. I would fire them all.start over with people that are thankful to have a job..
Most of the country closes In weather like that. Believe it or not people aren’t actually meant to be exposed to it
Did he seriously expect this kitchen faucet to turn on when he turned it?
Graham seems like a great guy, but are ya sure you want to date a lady with 3 kids already? Instant family I guess..
Yeah and the way she was looking at Mikey.....uh oh. 4 long winter nights at his house....hmmmm
Thought the same.. must be slim pickins up there

How long does that dog live in his prison cell each day! Can’t meet a dog’s needs, don’t get a dog.
Exactly, I hate those dog crates. I live in a village, surrounded by farmland, with many miles of public footpaths and bridle paths. I’d say 25% of village dogs only get to walk on pavement. 😩 (obviously I have sympathy for the infirm) Also, some that do get to walk the countryside, have to stay on leads because the owners can’t be arsed to teach recall etc. 🤦♂️
If there is a fire while you are not home, firefighters will not try to rescue a loose dog inside a home engulfed in fire. A panicked dog could turn on its rescuer or the firefighter could die trying to find the dog.
But
If your dog is in a pet carrier under a window they will break the glass, reach in and grab the carrier.
My dog snubbed me for a week once because I went to work and forgot to put him in the carrier first.
There are always multiple sides to everything.
But you go ahead and hug your artificial self superiority.
@@joecombs7468 So lifetime imprisonment and the mental torment that goes with it is an acceptable trade-off for you? You, too, should not keep an animal.
As I said originally, if you cannot meet a dog's needs, you should not keep a dog.
Cmon… turning into a tailwind has absolutely no effect on airspeed… you are in the airmass…
Hope you are not going to fly anytime soon.
Haha ha ha
@@gerhardbaumann7233 why is that? Are you a pilot? Planes are not kites... they are in the airmass, like a fly flying in a balloon
@@yvesbajulaz Yes. I mean no disrespect to ya. Just don't want you to hurt yourself.
@@gerhardbaumann7233 are you a rated pilot??? If you are, you may want to read the airplane flying handbook again.
New Zealand!
An accident just waiting to happen! Deicing an entire frozen aircraft not using anything NORMAL like deicing trucks that spray the solution on so that it does a thorough and proper job of clearing ALL of the contamination of ice completely off ALL the surfaces BEFORE FLIGHT! How and thee hell does Transport Canada ever ALLOW them to get away with such primitive and life threatening procedures like these? They are flying PEOPLE in these aircraft! They said it themselves that it's the sched aircraft and they need to have it ready first thing in the morning! No! This is NOT the way you deice a frozen aircraft and especially if you are going to put PEOPLE ON IT!
There's NO WAY Transport Canada is allowing them to deice a scheduled airliner in this manner! No way! My advice would be to NOT GET ON THIS AIRCRAFT after it's had a deicing job like this performed on it! Don't even go to the airport at all. UNBELIEVABLE
They are operating at the bare edge of possibility, so some corners get cut.
i love this series but Joes terrible attitude is brutal and no need fr it at all.

I don't like these fake dramas.
Then why are you watching?
I've been a pilot since 1978, at 17 years old. I learned how to fly in Fairbanks, AK...I find it vexing that you complain about what you haven't lived through. "Fake drama?" Fly during the arctic winter yourself; very large Shut-Up factor there.
@@nathanwildthorn6919 I was also thinking this isn't over dramatized.
@@Pyry300 Roger that. I scud-runned more than my share. Back then flying was the best way to travel, roads were sh*t. Ironic that I got stationed there (Wainwright, then Richardson my last year serving our country). SnowHawks! 172nd Inf Brg. 72 Echo.
how the hell is it fake drama? lol
Pulling for the winds to protect our ozone layer from these pilots and their aircraft.
You're hilarious. 😂🥳🥳
Do you really believe these aircraft to be responsible for the depletion of the ozone???
Do you have a smart phone, beauty products, sanitary items, any modern technology? You typed this reply on an example of technology that has singlehandedly caused more environmental impact than any of these old planes could ever do.
Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.
