    Thanks for interviewing and featuring Captain Krista. Whenever I'm on an aircraft and I see or hear a female pilot in charge, I feel extra safe, knowing she had some odds to overcome to become one of the growing 4%. That is a shockingly low number.

    Merry Christmas! I’ve seen the tether get taught while loading a 757 on the ramp I used to work at. Tense moments for sure. Question about flying legs. Does the Captain often ask or is it assumed he will fly it unless they ask?

    I also wanna be a female pilot like the amazing Captain Krista and for example Dutch Pilot Girl (from The Neatherlands/Holland) since I'm a great navigator. I've competed in orienteering and night orienteering for about 17 years since I was 4 years old so I can read maps extremely well. I don't know for sure if I can become a pilot cause I have never flown a plane before, but I would at least like to try it one day! I need glasses or contact lenses but I don't think that's a problem cuz my eyes feel pretty good and the correction needed in my glasses is not that high (dioptries or what you call it, dioptrier in Swedish). Am I right Pilot Pete? I think it's only fighter pilots who are not allowed to wear glasses so because of my glasses I can't unfortunately become a fighter pilot. Is that true? Is a fighter pilot allowed to wear contact lenses or not? I took a job test and it said that the most suitable job for me is to work either within commercial space flight as a pilot or as an astronaut at the international Space Station! So the 1 million dollar question is where should I work? Any great ideas? Go for a test flight to try how it feels and goes could be a great option as you once mentioned in one of your vlogs. Are there any great flight schools and instructors in or near Stockholm in Sweden where I currently live? I have to Google it and do some more research! Anyways, Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year 2025! Greetings from a snowy Stockholm in Sweden. Cat says hello or Mjau! should I say! Haha PS. Your vlogs are made with super great quality and are really informative for anyone thinking about maybe becoming a pilot one day! I've also recommended watching and listening to your vlogs for my friends, family members and relatives who also are thinking about working as pilots or in an aviation related field. And people's kids who need to train English to get great grades in school can listen to you speaking English cause you articulate all the words very clearly so it's easy for kids learning English to understand what you are talking about in your vlogs. And that's a great idea I think for their education and their grades in school! I've studied 10 languages so far and I understand some mjauiiii = some type of cat language!! LOL 😺😹😻😅🎅☃🎉🎄

      @pilotpetefly Cool! Thanks for your answer. It has to feel very cool to be working as a pilot for a living! Congrats on a great career choice! I hope I also maybe could become a pilot one day. It's more of a dream, but maybe maybe I could become a pilot. Either in the U.K. or in Canada. Now I'm just googling info about the profession itself and also other aviation related careers. A few months ago I was at Stockholm Arlanda Airport and went to a career event. It was fun to talk with recruiters from many different companies that are located at the airport. Me and my sergeant boyfriend had some burgers at McDonald's at the airport cause the view is stunning from the restaurants watching all the airplanes take off and land with precision. Lots of 10 out of 10 landings. Looked really smooth technically! It was awesome just to watch those beautiful planes! Those anti-icing machines drove around and de-iced the planes. I have to admit that I got some tears in my eyes from just watching those planes. "Let's go! Take off!" It's so fascinating that humans are actually capable of flying! Anyway, on my way home in a cab to Björkhagen to celebrate Christmas with my Mum and my cat this year! Merry Christmas from Stockholm and happy landings Pilot Pete Fly! PS. Have you ever landed at Stockholm Arlanda Airport? It seems a lot smaller compared to JFK, Newark and La Guardia with less traffic. Which is the most challenging or busiest airport in the world? I think maybe Atlanta, Denver or some airport high on a mountain with a really short runway! Madeira landings are for Captains only according to the Finnish pilot Tapio Siivola' s vlog "Tapio on the move". The focus you pilots have is extraordinary! I always clap my hands to the pilots after every landing! It's gotta be fun when the passengers do it and you nail a 10 out of 10 landing. Must be a real feeling of accomplishment when landing perfectly with all the precious cargo like horses for example. Anyway, time to grab a bite to eat now!

    Welcome to Denver even if its a short layover! Great weather the last few days, but last week heavy winds at DIA made for tricky flying and landings I bet. DIA is one of the top 5 busiest airports in the world and out in the middle of nowhere as well too.

Pilots can report their sightings… anonymously if they choose…its all about Safe air space.

    Hey Pete. I feel like 4% is higher than what the actual number is. Real quick, of all the Captains who fly the 767, how many are women? Whatever that number is you’d want to divide it by the total number of 767 captains then multiple it by 100. And that would be the real percentage of how often you fly with females in your industry. I’d be really excited to know what that number is.
