    One of the things I love about you and your lovely family's content is how real and raw y'all are esp Mom and Dad with your emotions. Thank you for being human and real and for taking us along in your journey. I relate to the emotions and the stress of non-reving as an airline retiree myself and it just makes me appreciate and enjoy your videos even more. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and the Family. Much Alofa!!!

    Absolutely fantastic. What an amazing pillar of strength and an example of a father husband and human being you are. Just because you are a man doesn’t mean that you can’t show your feeling. It also shows your family that emotions are normal and not to hide them. My 14 year old son is wanting to start a career as a pilot. What a role model. Beautiful family!!

    i was already crying before you even started crying! i’m in the middle of flight school (working on instrument now) and it is SO HARD. what keeps me going is thinking about being able to bring my kids all over the world like this. so watching your family travel vlogs reminds me why i’m doing what i’m doing, when it gets tough! thanks for sharing🩷

  • @rugger8136
    @rugger8136 6 місяців тому +11

    I don’t know why you getting emotional when you got your seats made me emotional! Such a feel good video, your kids are so lucky to have such an awesome dad. Thank you for sharing!

  • @maryblue75
    @maryblue75 2 місяці тому +4

    My dad was a pilot. I miss him. We flew standby everytime, and i miss it so much, and i miss my dad. He was a lucky guy he flew military and commercial 40 years. Flew from doubledecker spitfire f84g then 727 747 airbuses and all.
    He was very silent though, and i see those videos to feel closer to those times.
    I am not entitled to flying standby anymore, company of dad closed, so that s cks completely.
    My dad didnt feel like taking us journeys though he wanted to just be at home, he played violin amazingly.
    You are doing a great job showing your kids the world.
    Later on there will be no time.
    I remember flying in cockpit on my moms lap me and my sister all 3 on the jump seat for a 30‘ flight where dad was flying .(city to island).

    I'm getting old. When I saw Paul get emotional I also got emotional. "I'm not crying you're crying". I love the vulnerability shown by Paul. It made the video more moving.

    As a member of an airline family trips like these are never forgotten. Personally it was trips like these that taught me exactly how small our planet really is, it opened up my eyes to different people, cultures, and ways of life. Thank you for using your benefits, and sharing them in such a meaningful way with your family. Safe travels!

    I think it is impossible not to shed a tear or two in this video, I know I did! Paul...Amazing content as always! I am a Dentist whose childhood dream and passion was to become a pilot. Regardless of my current occupation which I absolutely love, I have always known I would end up in the skies someday and not just as a passenger. You have inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a pilot which I will soon see it through. As I soar the skies, there will always be a cloud or a star with your name on it for inspiration. God bless you and your wonderful family Paul, thank you for the genuine heartfelt content!

    This video brought back great memories. We were in Vietnam this past September and loved it. I’m a retired airline employee and we chose to fly confirmed all the way. I give you credit for pass riding with the family. I find your videos not only fun but informative. But this one was by far my favorite. Thank you for sharing your journey and reminding me why we really need to go back to Vietnam.

  • @kevinheard8364
    @kevinheard8364 6 місяців тому +4

    Just so very wonderful. I want to share something: Your videos and your sentiments are so sorely needed in today's world.... to see something mean that much... and meaningful enough in a world "safe enough to express that" is so touching and so treasured. Yes, I'm a plane enthusiast; but your videos are so special as I get to 'live vicariously' thru them. Happy Holidays to you and yours. I have a cold confession: I had visions of military police and just "coldness" .... wow, such a treat. Thanks again for sharing.

    Your videos make me emotional. You gotta cut that out. I’m new to the airlines (1.5 years) working for a regional that flys for UL, DL, and AA. I can say that your travel videos make me so jealous. We have benefits for travel, but I find it difficult to convince the wife that it’s fun to travel with children (1x 4yrs, 1x 4 mo). However, we broke the ice with a trip to Denver and had a blast. Hopefully we’re on to some new and amazing places. You’ve got me thinking Vietnam or S. Korea now.

  • @coasttocoasters
    @coasttocoasters 6 місяців тому +3

  • @FaviMarti

    My father was an aircraft mechanic for TWA and then American when they got bought over. Non revving was always so nerve racking, and although a lot of times I remember being bored, I always enjoyed the adventure of going somewhere and especially looking at the planes from the gate. We mostly went to Mexico, but I was fortunate enough to go to Italy and France on a couple of occasions as a kid.
    Fast forward 25 or so years and I left my former career in public safety and bumped right back into the world of airplanes again. I just hit my year mark with an airline as a ramp agent and have non reved 12 trips. I’m hoping to grow in this industry although I am not sure which direction it may take me.
    I had a medical situation that I’ve been dealing with recovery for the last couple of months but am hoping to see if I can pass a first class medical in the near future to see if flying might be a viable path.
    Thank you for sharing your experience I hope to some day see Vietnam.
