@@floydbryant8711 it would be "I've seen two employees, a steward and a stewardess, go into the bathroom together" if it was talking about 2 people. The way it's written might have intended to be talking about 2 but actually is talking about 4.
Just watched your two "hater" videos. I'm 64yo, and I resigned myself long ago as to the fact that "it takes all kind of people, "people will will be people," etc... etc... etc... I took early retirement at 62yo in order to have guaranteed income due to personal issues. No tv, so I watch a lot of UA-cam and I am subscribed to 74 Gear. You are EXCELLENT in every way Kelsey - confident but not cocky, funny, personable, intelligent, self-effacing, informative, the works. It's easy to see that you love what you do and are an expert in the field. Keep up the supurb work.
When I was 12 on a 747 transatlantic flight from Madrid to the USA in the 80's, I experienced a disturbing moment when I went to the lavatory. The latch showed "vacant" so I opened the door and found in the dark a very attractive woman almost naked, dressed only in full red lace bra, knickers and red stockings. What a sight. She must have been waiting for someone a bit more grown up and was very embarassed to see my inocent child face.

RIGHT! NO MILE HIGH CLUB WHEN YOU AR E ON THE GROUND! WE HAD AN OLD DC3 THAT LIVED BACK IN THE CORNER OF THE HANGAR. I WAS WORKING THE NIGHT SHIFT AND SECURITY. ONE OF MY WALKS I NOTICED THE OLD "GOONY BIRD" WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN IN THE QUITE, DARK CORNER. I KEPT AN EYE ON THE SMALL DOOR THAT WE ALL HAVE TO USE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE LARGE MASSIVE DOORS WERE LOCKED EVERY NIGHT. SURE ENOUGH THE NIGHT SHIFT CHICK AND ONE OF THE LAYOVER PILOTS HAD SLIPPED AWAY FOR A SWEET FEW MINUTES. I NEVER SAID A WORD. I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO. DON'T MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE!
I remember the time we were getting ready to land in Spain. The pilot said over the intercom: "Thank you for flying with us, remember to adjust your watches forward one hour. Please fly with us again and have a nice day." I guess he forgot to turn off the intercom because he next said: ''Well Robert, I cant wait to have a huge dump and then meet Nancy in the hotel for hot sex!" Well, I guess the flight attendant next to us was Nancy, because when she heard this, she ran full speed toward the cockpit. Unfortunately, she tripped over a bag and tripped into the isle. Doing a somersault as she tripped up. Fortunately, a little, old lady helped her back up. I could hear the old lady saying to the flight attendant: "There's no rush, he has to have a huge dump first." 🥁
I looked up the incident with the baggage handler and, at least according to the original USA Today article, the plane never actually turned around. He was, by his own admission, intoxicated, and he slept through the entire flight from Kansas City to Chicago O'Hare, only being discovered on landing.
Despite his disclaimers before the "Confessionals" I just ignore it and assume these are all his alone..cant help it , maybe it's the delivery or the boyish charm. cracks me up every time.
Thirded. Although with the last story if I’d have been the flight attendant, I would have likely looked totally shocked for a few seconds but provided that Kelsey hadn’t started talking to defend and explain himself by the time my brain had processed the situation, most likely I would have silently indicated an acknowledgment that I understood. And then probably whispered “Is that what it sounds like?” As a neutral way to start the whispered conversation that I hope is going to lead to an explanation and from the way the story went, I would have gotten very quickly. Afterwards I probably would never either suggested just taking the shoes off anyway to sneak out, or just said “Oh okay, fair enough but I’m going to go and wait outside. Feel free to put your headphones back on.” Before sneaking back outside as silently as possible. But the thing is, I wouldn’t have shown any kind of disapproval largely because I really wouldn’t have cared either way. Even if I hadn’t believed the explanation, the truth is that it’s not any of my business and unless it’s harming anyone then people are free to indulge in whatever kink gets them going. There’s no judgment here. I don’t know what that says about me, but there it is.
My complex doesn't really like smoking around the buildings. So late at night I head over to the clubhouse/pool/tennis court area to smoke a cigar and listen to a podcast. (This area is secluded a good distance away and there's typically no one there at night.) I'm sitting there in my camping chair in the middle of the tennis court and 2 guys pull up, get out of their car, strip naked, and proceed to enjoy each other's company for the next 15 minutes twenty feet from me. Awkward. Still not sure if they didn't see me or didn't care.
Kelsey's chirpy delivery always brightens up my day and, without getting political on here, I wanted specifically to mention how delightful it was that the whole gay aspect was incorporated into the first "adventure" in such a charming and unabashed way - which just serves to normalise the whole thing. While, after 25 years of marriage to a woman, there were for sure "alternative" endings to what turned out to be merely a comedy of errors for the Captain in question(even if I DID find the "pilot fatigue" argument SLIIIIIIIGHTLY suspicious for the reportedly accidental downloading of Grindr....😏), I think this was another step in the right direction. Nice one, Kelsey!
There was a light plane crash near where I grew up that happened when I was a kid. Witnesses said the plane was flying along like normal when it suddenly pitched over and took a nose dive right into the ground. There had been two people aboard, a man (pilot) and a woman. Neither were wearing their seatbelts or, it turned out, anything else. At first they suspected suicide, but when they discovered the two were naked (the plane burned on impact and both bodies suffered extreme fire damage, so it wasn't obvious at first that they died naked) and then the discover that both were sitting in the left pilot's seat. They think what happened was the couple were having sex and at some point the control yoke was pushed violently.. This produced a rather strong negative G load causing both to fall against the roof of the plane. The pilot was unable to regain control before the plane hit the ground at about 75 degrees nose down.
I built hours by flying mile high rides. Hung a curtain between the front seats and the back with the seats removed. Sometimes it was hard to get hours for a fifteen minute ride.
During A&P school i was already ahead of everything so i had a LOT of free time to kill. I'd be done but have to be there for several more hours. I also worked a few jobs at the time so i got like 2 hours of sleep a night. I'd take naps in various places, maintenance training aircraft and such. I often slept in the back of a Sabreliner, one day i woke up and it was being towed into the hangar for a demo. But the funniest was sleeping in a Cessna 210 systems training fuselage, it was used to train for servicing oxygen systems. I was asleep with my head next to the service door when a middle eastern student came in, opened the door and started feeling around for the oxygen bottle valve. Instead he grabbed my head and was feeling it like he was trying to figure out what it was. I woke up, grabbed his wrist, pulled it slightly and let go, he shrieked and ran away while calling on Allah. I got out of the aircraft and went back to working on my own projects when he comes back several minutes later virtually DRAGGING his instructor over to the fuselage pointing and telling him 'there's something in there!'. I watched from across the hangar as they looked and found nothing and both left confused.
Rusty, I must sincerely thank you for making me laugh so much and so long my kittens woke from their naps and looked at me accusingly. Then just after I thought I’d gotten myself under control I read your post again and it set me off laughing all over again. That poor student! I admit that if it wouldn’t have gotten me in trouble I would have gone over when he got back with his flight instructor and explained it to him. But if it would have gotten me in trouble I might have tried to find a discreet and anonymous way to explain. If not then yeah I’d have kept silent.
@74gear I 100% agree with how you handled the ppl below deck situation. I would've done the exact same. I never understood why ppl tend to congregate near a door to listen to others 'having fun' or embarrass them when they finish and 're-appear'. Which many more ppl were pragmatic and logical in this manner. Just about everyone has smashed in a pubic place for whatever reason/kink and the thrill is to not get caught; and embarrassing them just ruins it for them and most likely for life. I think ppl are just jealous it's not them. So everyone, if it's not a legit safety concern, then let the ppl have their fun and just let them be.
Hmmm. Fermiticus. My friend never thought about doing it solo when flying! My friend says that he'll try the solo thing next time - maybe he'll call it half mile high club.
@Fermiticus Flying solo and calling yourself a member of the ''mile high club'' is like sending yourself a birthday card and then brag to your friends about the nice card you got for your birthday.
@@julianbrelsford Passengers, of course. Mile high club is for everyone, passengers as well as for pilots. And don't say "you". It's not us. We are all asking on behalf of our friends. :)
If I were Kelsey, I wouldn't be comfortable just saying, "I'm telling the story in first person, but I am not involved with it in any way." I would have something displayed at the bottom of the screen, the entire time, that removed all doubt; just in case someone missed the disclaimer. :)
"I would have something displayed at the bottom of the screen, the entire time, that removed all doubt" Which, if you're that adamant, makes you seem obviously guilty. Just gotta not worry so much about what others think.

Lady's and Gentlemen, this guy right here is a world class wingman! I mean, he wasn't even going to make noise to ruin a good time of someone he didn't know. Well done sir!
Man, how amazing would it be to have open doors now. I remember when train drivers would have open doors, and even if they didn’t, I had lots of cab rides as a kid. I got to the point where I knew how to set a train up from start to finish, and sometimes would do so while the driver had a smoke break. I haven’t driven any particularly powerful cars yet, but as a kid, I was allowed to (and was quite good at!) using the regulator (aka throttle), and these electric multiple units had 16 motors adding up to nearly 3,000 horsepower. I got to do this when I was, what, 12? That’s enough blathering on from me, but I miss those days a lot. I wish bad people out there weren’t ruining all our fun.
I do security work at Universal Studios and remember hearing a story about two Sheriff's that were having sex in one of the parking structures while ON DUTY and the only reason they got caught was because one of them had an open mic the whole time. They were transmitting. I was told this story by one of the current Sheriff's at USH and was laughing my ass off because I USED TO do remote video surveillance work and have caught people trying to have sex in a parking structure. Apparently they didn't know there were cameras. Very high resolution PTZ cameras with very expensive zoom lenses. I could have sold that sh*t as porn. I've got so many Fn stories from my time working in remote video surveillance but I'd rather be watching a video than typing for the next two hours.
I know people sneaking out to do s*x is weird. But cops? Especially on duty? And one of them forgot to turn of their radio? That’s a whole new level to add to my “List of Weird Thing that Americans do that I should be Aware of”
@@Boypogikami132 cops have been having sex on the job for years. Once females became firefighters there was all kinds of nastiness happening in every part of the firehouse.
@@Boypogikami132 There are times, every so often where I feel that being asexual (someone who doesn’t experience sexual attraction ever) really leaves me with a few blind spots where I have absolutely no frame of reference to enable me to understand. For example, wanting to join the “mile high club.” I mean if it’s like a private jet and there’s nobody else on the plane except the couple in question and the pilot-who is presumably in the flight deck at the controls, then okay whatever, I guess that’s one way to pass the time. Or, I dunno if your particular kink is pilots or aircraft or whatnot then, again, whatever there’s no judgment here. But trying to join the mile high club on a commercial airliner? One fully loaded with passengers? In the toilet? That’s where my comprehension fails and I have no idea why anyone would ever want to do it in that situation. It can’t be comfortable, the space is tiny, they have to be quiet, toilets are generally not pleasant places and perhaps worst of all-not secure! The crew can override the lock pretty much at will. Now I haven’t flown in over a decade so I’m not sure what kind of locking override mechanism they have, but I work in a hospital and our public toilets have the same kind of override. We have a specific tool we’re supposed to use but I know a few everyday objects that would do the job. And no, I’m not going to explain it here. But similarly that situation makes no sense to me. Christ, if one finds one of their colleagues both attractive and willing then at least have the common sense to finish the shift and go home. Especially if it’s a job like being a cop where being on duty means the officer has to be ready to react fast if someone hits the emergency button on their radio. (In the UK at least. If a cop is in danger they can press a button on their radio that basically clears and overrides all the other radios and sets it to broadcast so every single cop in the city can hear and rush to help.) Or a car pursuit kicks off or something. But again the location makes no sense to me either. What’s so appealing about a parking structure? Surely they’d be more comfortable at home. Again if police is their kink, again no judgment but they could play dress up and whatnot at home. Leaving the mic or radio on, eh people make mistakes.
@@bjoernf73 To my knowledge this is how dating apps work. Why show an account that hasn't logged in in months? They probably won't respond. If you know the account you can probably still find it but it won't be shared as a potential date.
The app would be incredibly hard to find people actually active online if it didn’t. Lots of gays get on for a one night stand and never get back in that profile. If they stayed on as active you’d never be able to actually find active people. After about a half an hour the profile goes off other peoples grids.

-- Food for thought on pilots being tired. I'm a pilot but that's here nor there. I can say it's true though. However, the point: statistically, driving your car tired, is as dangerous as driving drunk. Most of us do it every day.
I wonder if Kelsey tells his crew members that he can’t meet up for drinks later bc he goes in his hotel room at night and makes videos and posts them online for money. 🤔
That's the thing I've noticed about gay people, they aren't pushy about it. If you aren't into it, they leave you alone. Contrast that with an attractive woman/man, and all bets are off in the hetero community. If a gay person approaches you and you are not into that scene, it's a chill experience. Not so much on the other side. Hell, some of the best wing people i have ever had were gay. In a gay bar. Yep, hetero's go to gay bars as well, usually just to hang out with friends, but all are welcome. Which can't always be said if the situations were reversed. It's all about accepting people for who they are.
Living in and working in San Fransisco with several gay co-workers, I was always puzzled by some of the weird gay stereotypes, since all of the gay people were just that: People: With all of the usual foibles and characters of everyone else. While some acted in stereotypical ways, most were pretty down to earth people who were great to have as friends. And yes, if you weren't gay, they did not treat you as a sex object like many men treat women. In my experience, there are two kinds of people: Nice people, and (cough) jerks. The rest is entirely dependent on openness to friendship.
@@GoCoyote I used to date a girl who had a gay best friend and we went out on double dates a couple times, i never felt weird about it either. A couple years later after we ended the relationship (it was amicable and we remained in touch) she told me that her friend told her back then that he had a crush on me, i was like, 🤤🤤 "Whaaat? He knows I'm not gay, right? So wtf?? Then I felt kinda weird after thinking he was prolly checking me out while we were all hanging out on those dates. Today i live like 1500 miles away so luckily I'll never see him again. 😁
I did D Checks back in the 90's on DC-10's and MD-11's. Inspections inside the wing were always done by 2 people, nobody was allowed in alone. There was one girl that did that job too and the day came that I had to get in the wing with her. She was about my age, single and we got on well but when she started talking about the mile high club it got a bit awkward then one thing led to the next and we had some fun.... at the end of the shift when we got out of the wing several on our team started clapping.... It was then that we realized that the wing without engines, flaps etc. start to move not just when you walk on the top of them....
Hey Kelsey, big fan from Egypt here. There is that movie that I watched, Final Descent, which was ridiculous to the point that I -not in any way affiliated with aviation- kept raising my arms in disbelief and making funny faces during the entire movie. So imagine how you would react, which I would love nothing more to see. Once again, the movie is called "Final Descent".
Hi Kelsea, you are a funny guy, I am former UK Royal Navy so my sense of humor seems to be similar to yours, PMPL is an understatement, the grinder thing LOL. You talk about the funny parts of being in the Airline industry. Good Work.
I love your channel! One thing just to maybe consider: it's a little confusing if you're telling the story in 1st person but make interjections that pertain to you. I'm not sure right away if it's the pilot you're talking about or actually you yourself. Maybe use a fake name for the pilot instead of telling the stories in 1st person? "Jeb sat there watching his captain look over his dating profile photos"? Just a suggestion - your channel is great regardless and I really enjoy it :) You've really helped me with my flight anxiety. (Edit: Sorry just saw this was 2 years old!)

I joined the "Mile High Club" back in the middle of the 90's, during a flight between SFO and the old Kai Tak airport in HK on a Air China 747. A flight attendant (very cute) and I had "very fun" in the crew quarters. For obvious reason, we couldn't enjoy it very long so we were "busy" for only approx.10 minutes but we did also spend a night together in HK since she wasn't due back until next day. I remember her well, even her name which I will disclose here. Fond memories of those days.
At Southwest we would connect our cross country flights to meet in the middle (causing that ebb and flow) we called them ICO for intentional Connection Opportunity, for those of us who worked during them we called them I Cry Often. Retired now but you really nailed what often happened during the ebbs.
There's an old joke that goes, "How can you tell someone's a pilot? They'll tell you." I think about that every time you introduce yourself at the beginning of a video. 😆
I was on a flight from Singapore to London (was living in Singapore at the time) and usually treated myself to business class on SQ (best in the world I reckon!). If anyone has been on the original SQ business on the A380, the seats were hugely wide. It was a night flight and there was a guy in the aisle seat opposite me (I was in the middle row). He was a little "tipsy" and was shortly joined by an equally tipsy girl. As it was a night flight, the cabin lights were dimmed - and they started getting more frisky than tipsy. Cabin crew came by and politely asked said "lady" to return to her own seat for more "comfort". This was ignored and as soon as the FA got to the galley, they started again and were definitely aiming for the MH club lol. FA reappeared just in time and insisted she move to her own seat "now". Bloke goes to the toilet (hopefully to pee lol) and FA came back to apologise to me (at least SHE realised I was awake haha). Seemingly the "couple" were total strangers and the girl said to the FA that they met in the lounge and get acquainted over some free booze (the SQ lounge in Changi was great). FA apologised to me and just rolled her eyes as bloke came back from the bathroom. Better that than the other time when some guy was drunk when he boarded and drank some more and then threw up all over himself and the seat. That was not pleasant on a sealed metal tube with recirculating air!
Hi Kelsey! Loved this. When I separated from who would be soon my divorced wife, I was dejected as I took a flight leaving her. I was in coach, but right up near the galley, which had a curtain separating coach from first class, etc. I was asked by a steward, and a stewardess later why I was so glum. I told them of my recent 'trial' separation, and I was dejected. After condolences they went back to work. The curtain was closed. In a bit I noticed the curtain moving a little near me, and then in hushed voices I heard the two of them talking dirty, and realized they were probably touching one another. It got more heated, and I was somewhat embarrassed (back then, at age 23, not today!). It got quiet, and then whoosh, the curtain was swept aside, and they were both holding each other (but not really sexually!) - and they told me "Got You!" - and they wanted me to cheer up. I received some champaign, and their devoted attention for the remainder of what was a short flight. That was over 4 decades ago, but I will never forget it. Possibly/Probably I will someday move in with, or visit for an extended time with my Ex. She is my daughters mother, and a good one. We've kept in touch over the years. She's been single for years now, not that it matters for we are beyond that point of thinking about it. However that flight was really depressing, and the crew was inspiring to me.
Never had a pilot come out just to talk when I worked ramp...we aslo worked ERJs and CRJs with the baggage compartment in the back and it was cramped and dirty...no hanky panky in there. Most of the ladies that I worked ramp with were far manlier than I am so that killed any thoughts of it too...they could throw bags with the best of them and would have probably killed me had we ever got into that situation. We had a couple of supervisors that got caught in a ramp room and we had a place where bags were dropped by mainline for distribution among the regionals...we kept a small passenger bus out there for some shelter and heat...some things happened in that bus and they were also caught
Something just popped into my head today and I think it would really fit in well with your channel. Anyway I think it would be really interesting for you to look at information on older flights that have had issues and go over the things going on and put it into a perspective of a pilot who flies today. Looking at the information of the things that happened and apply it to maybe a plane you fly regularly. I say this because when I was 10 years old there was a major accident not far from where I was. United flight 232 to be specific. The plane had an engine malfunction and catastrophic failure mid flight that caused both primary and secondary systems to fail. To survive some people actually jumped out of the plane into a corn field. I have to wonder if a modern plane would have had similar issues or if it would even be possible to fly the plane as well as the pilots did. I am sure there are a lot of other things that have happened in the past and have made major changes to modern planes because of what we learned but would we still have the same issues or not if it was to happen again. As I said flight 232 is a specific case where we have a TON of information as well as video of the plane coming in and it has been claimed as a true miracle so many people survived. I also remember it being on the news and tons of people trying to head down to the airport to see. Sadly the guy my mother was living with at the time was one of the gawkers who tried to drive down there with me in the backseat.
Yeah there are quite a few things that caused massive changes to try to prevent it from ever happening again. There are three that I know offhand. Because a tiny little metal disc wasn’t replaced after doing maintenance, the mechanism that controls the rudder totally spun off the jack scew entirely during flight. This both removed the pilots ability to control and move the rudder and locked it at a very extreme angle. There was no way to save that plane. So they redesigned the entire mechanism to make sure it can’t happen again. Another example is when a plane developed a slow air leak, so the pilots got the checklist to try to troubleshoot the problem but because it didn’t say “put your oxygen mask on first” they didn’t and succumbed to hypoxia.
*This **_used_** to be pretty standard behaviour on red-eye flights - especially long ones. I used to commute by air (5-6 days a week), all over the country, and I've lost count how many times me and my wife has whiled away the long fights;-) I know it's very different today (today, planes are just buses in the sky. It used to be really nice!), but I have zero doubt it will forever continue in some amount...*

When I was a ramper I used to take naps in the forward pit. Very comfy, a nice place to snooze. One ramper wanted to fly to Seattle so he got a buddy to close the door with him in the pit. He figured when he got there he'd just hop out and be a ramper until he could leave the airport. Unfortunately when the guy in Seattle opened the forward pit door and saw a guy inside he freaked out and started screaming. Security came and arrested the guy and he got fired.
Kelsey "these stories dont involve me" Also Kelsey "they gave me his pictures to edit cause i have a lot of stuff on my phone for editing on instagram and you tube etc"
If by chance you have not read the book "Cabin Fever" stories compiled by flight attendants you might want to track down a copy. There is some great stories that even if not true are fun to read.
Sooo... If I'm getting this right, two male ground crew (I'm assuming, because I've flown a couple hundred times and never saw female baggage handlers or rampers)--two coworkers--went into a cargo hold to hang out and eventually they ended up f*cking? That is one interesting work-friendship!
I've seen many women baggage handlers. Most are large and burly like the guys. The one that surprised me is the woman who tossed the bags down from the cargo hold onto the tarmac using only one arm.
1982…Flight from lax to sfo a gorgeous lady has a seat next to mine. After reaching cruise she told me she was cold. Out came the blanket over her AND my legs. She went at it immediately as I returned the (cough cough) favor. Surprisingly we didn’t get caught. After we deplaned, a guy met her and whisked her away. Never saw her again!
I’d be stunned if regulations don’t demand the cockpit door is locked during flight, regardless of it being a repositioning flight and only crew on board. Crew can have bad intentions also
Crew does have access anyway. And Crews are scanned before and after hiring for potential threats. No guarantees, but the risk is way lower with crews.

25 years ago, I was access control security at jfk. One time, while I inspecting a 747 passenger area before flight, a female security started getting too close, and we actually ended up grinding. She offered to do more, but I was worried other people were going to start boarding any moment. So I know that sht happens in airplanes.

there isn't even space for 1 person how did they fit 4 what????
Reading comprehension is a thing!
@@floydbryant8711 it would be
"I've seen two employees, a steward and a stewardess, go into the bathroom together" if it was talking about 2 people. The way it's written might have intended to be talking about 2 but actually is talking about 4.
Anybody able to do that in a tiny airplane restroom deserves a reward for their contortionist abilities!
Just watched your two "hater" videos. I'm 64yo, and I resigned myself long ago as to the fact that "it takes all kind of people, "people will will be people," etc... etc... etc... I took early retirement at 62yo in order to have guaranteed income due to personal issues. No tv, so I watch a lot of UA-cam and I am subscribed to 74 Gear. You are EXCELLENT in every way Kelsey - confident but not cocky, funny, personable, intelligent, self-effacing, informative, the works. It's easy to see that you love what you do and are an expert in the field. Keep up the supurb work.
When I was 12 on a 747 transatlantic flight from Madrid to the USA in the 80's, I experienced a disturbing moment when I went to the lavatory. The latch showed "vacant" so I opened the door and found in the dark a very attractive woman almost naked, dressed only in full red lace bra, knickers and red stockings. What a sight. She must have been waiting for someone a bit more grown up and was very embarassed to see my inocent child face.
Innocent eh?
Completely innocent
You're probably find it was one of the flight attendants lol 🤣🤣🤣
Not knickers! Oh my!🤦♂️
I could never get so lucky lol 😆
Kelsey is such a closet comedian. You're the man. The first story sounds like this movie from the early 00s called Boat Trip lol.
If it’s the joke I’m thinking, it’s even more funny that you used OO
Remember, these aren't his stories. He gets them from submissions to his social media accounts, and he produces these segments, telling the story in 1st-person perspective.
Just because you had your headphones on Kelsey, doesn’t necessarily mean you were listening to music! 🎶

Electronic noise cancelling headphones have volume control, and being slightly hard of hearing, I can actually hear normal sounds/voices better with them on than not.

So what. Even if I had none I would either just ignore them or told them to shut up.
"I just want you to know that I wasn't involved in any of these incidents" ... OK Kelsey, we believe you...
And still suggested Grinder first.
That's exactly what I was gonna say. LOL
Too bad. He doesn’t know what he missed out on.
Suuuuuuure
RIGHT! NO MILE HIGH CLUB WHEN YOU AR E ON THE GROUND! WE HAD AN OLD DC3 THAT LIVED BACK IN THE CORNER OF THE HANGAR. I WAS WORKING THE NIGHT SHIFT AND SECURITY. ONE OF MY WALKS I NOTICED THE OLD "GOONY BIRD" WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN IN THE QUITE, DARK CORNER. I KEPT AN EYE ON THE SMALL DOOR THAT WE ALL HAVE TO USE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE LARGE MASSIVE DOORS WERE LOCKED EVERY NIGHT.
SURE ENOUGH THE NIGHT SHIFT CHICK AND ONE OF THE LAYOVER PILOTS HAD SLIPPED AWAY FOR A SWEET FEW MINUTES. I NEVER SAID A WORD. I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO. DON'T MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE!
I remember the time we were getting ready to land in Spain. The pilot said over the intercom: "Thank you for flying with us, remember to adjust your watches forward one hour. Please fly with us again and have a nice day."
I guess he forgot to turn off the intercom because he next said: ''Well Robert, I cant wait to have a huge dump and then meet Nancy in the hotel for hot sex!"
Well, I guess the flight attendant next to us was Nancy, because when she heard this, she ran full speed toward the cockpit. Unfortunately, she tripped over a bag and tripped into the isle. Doing a somersault as she tripped up. Fortunately, a little, old lady helped her back up. I could hear the old lady saying to the flight attendant: "There's no rush, he has to have a huge dump first." 🥁
ROFL! I can't stop laughing! Wow!
Bro WTH
😂
Omg! Too funny! The old lady had a great sense of humor and a quick wit. 🤣
@@wisdomrules8474 lol
I looked up the incident with the baggage handler and, at least according to the original USA Today article, the plane never actually turned around. He was, by his own admission, intoxicated, and he slept through the entire flight from Kansas City to Chicago O'Hare, only being discovered on landing.
There's been many of these, pretty sure there was also an incident not too long ago with a handler going to sleep in India and waking up in Dubai.
It's always awkward when you go for a little sleep to recover from drinking and end up across the country 😅
Such a good idea reading these comments legit a week before going on a plane.. Ty guys

Despite his disclaimers before the
"Confessionals"
I just ignore it and assume these are all his alone..cant help it , maybe it's the delivery or the boyish charm. cracks me up every time.
Same!
Thirded. Although with the last story if I’d have been the flight attendant, I would have likely looked totally shocked for a few seconds but provided that Kelsey hadn’t started talking to defend and explain himself by the time my brain had processed the situation, most likely I would have silently indicated an acknowledgment that I understood.
And then probably whispered “Is that what it sounds like?” As a neutral way to start the whispered conversation that I hope is going to lead to an explanation and from the way the story went, I would have gotten very quickly. Afterwards I probably would never either suggested just taking the shoes off anyway to sneak out, or just said “Oh okay, fair enough but I’m going to go and wait outside. Feel free to put your headphones back on.” Before sneaking back outside as silently as possible.
But the thing is, I wouldn’t have shown any kind of disapproval largely because I really wouldn’t have cared either way. Even if I hadn’t believed the explanation, the truth is that it’s not any of my business and unless it’s harming anyone then people are free to indulge in whatever kink gets them going. There’s no judgment here.
I don’t know what that says about me, but there it is.
My complex doesn't really like smoking around the buildings. So late at night I head over to the clubhouse/pool/tennis court area to smoke a cigar and listen to a podcast. (This area is secluded a good distance away and there's typically no one there at night.) I'm sitting there in my camping chair in the middle of the tennis court and 2 guys pull up, get out of their car, strip naked, and proceed to enjoy each other's company for the next 15 minutes twenty feet from me. Awkward. Still not sure if they didn't see me or didn't care.
I am more impressed by clubhouse/pool/tennis court than the rest of your post lol
Kelsey's chirpy delivery always brightens up my day and, without getting political on here, I wanted specifically to mention how delightful it was that the whole gay aspect was incorporated into the first "adventure" in such a charming and unabashed way - which just serves to normalise the whole thing. While, after 25 years of marriage to a woman, there were for sure "alternative" endings to what turned out to be merely a comedy of errors for the Captain in question(even if I DID find the "pilot fatigue" argument SLIIIIIIIGHTLY suspicious for the reportedly accidental downloading of Grindr....😏), I think this was another step in the right direction. Nice one, Kelsey!
There was a light plane crash near where I grew up that happened when I was a kid.
Witnesses said the plane was flying along like normal when it suddenly pitched over and took a nose dive right into the ground.
There had been two people aboard, a man (pilot) and a woman. Neither were wearing their seatbelts or, it turned out, anything else.
At first they suspected suicide, but when they discovered the two were naked (the plane burned on impact and both bodies suffered extreme fire damage, so it wasn't obvious at first that they died naked) and then the discover that both were sitting in the left pilot's seat.
They think what happened was the couple were having sex and at some point the control yoke was pushed violently..
This produced a rather strong negative G load causing both to fall against the roof of the plane.
The pilot was unable to regain control before the plane hit the ground at about 75 degrees nose down.
That ended up being some heavenly sex.
@@fluffy-fluffy5996 No, it was a real let down in the end.
Well, if you're going to go out, might as well go out with a bang!
I built hours by flying mile high rides. Hung a curtain between the front seats and the back with the seats removed. Sometimes it was hard to get hours for a fifteen minute ride.
@@icelandviking1961 What were you flying that could get to 5200' that fast?
During A&P school i was already ahead of everything so i had a LOT of free time to kill. I'd be done but have to be there for several more hours. I also worked a few jobs at the time so i got like 2 hours of sleep a night. I'd take naps in various places, maintenance training aircraft and such. I often slept in the back of a Sabreliner, one day i woke up and it was being towed into the hangar for a demo.
But the funniest was sleeping in a Cessna 210 systems training fuselage, it was used to train for servicing oxygen systems. I was asleep with my head next to the service door when a middle eastern student came in, opened the door and started feeling around for the oxygen bottle valve. Instead he grabbed my head and was feeling it like he was trying to figure out what it was. I woke up, grabbed his wrist, pulled it slightly and let go, he shrieked and ran away while calling on Allah. I got out of the aircraft and went back to working on my own projects when he comes back several minutes later virtually DRAGGING his instructor over to the fuselage pointing and telling him 'there's something in there!'. I watched from across the hangar as they looked and found nothing and both left confused.
Ah jeez, I can't help but feel bad for the guy. Must have gotten the shock of his life!
That's how ghost stories get started. 😂
Rusty, I must sincerely thank you for making me laugh so much and so long my kittens woke from their naps and looked at me accusingly. Then just after I thought I’d gotten myself under control I read your post again and it set me off laughing all over again.
That poor student! I admit that if it wouldn’t have gotten me in trouble I would have gone over when he got back with his flight instructor and explained it to him. But if it would have gotten me in trouble I might have tried to find a discreet and anonymous way to explain. If not then yeah I’d have kept silent.
This made me laugh so hard. ROFL
@74gear
I 100% agree with how you handled the ppl below deck situation. I would've done the exact same. I never understood why ppl tend to congregate near a door to listen to others 'having fun' or embarrass them when they finish and 're-appear'. Which many more ppl were pragmatic and logical in this manner. Just about everyone has smashed in a pubic place for whatever reason/kink and the thrill is to not get caught; and embarrassing them just ruins it for them and most likely for life. I think ppl are just jealous it's not them. So everyone, if it's not a legit safety concern, then let the ppl have their fun and just let them be.
It still counts as "mile high club"...even if you're flying solo...right?
Asking for a friend!
I'd say it essentially same as going at it in cargo while plane is on the ground.. Something is missing, but you are maybe kinda there?
Hmmm. Fermiticus. My friend never thought about doing it solo when flying!
My friend says that he'll try the solo thing next time - maybe he'll call it half mile high club.
@Fermiticus Flying solo and calling yourself a member of the ''mile high club'' is like sending yourself a birthday card and then brag to your friends about the nice card you got for your birthday.
What this comment made me wonder is, are you all talking about doing this while flying (as pilot) or while flying (as passenger)?
@@julianbrelsford Passengers, of course. Mile high club is for everyone, passengers as well as for pilots.
And don't say "you". It's not us. We are all asking on behalf of our friends. :)
If I were Kelsey, I wouldn't be comfortable just saying, "I'm telling the story in first person, but I am not involved with it in any way." I would have something displayed at the bottom of the screen, the entire time, that removed all doubt; just in case someone missed the disclaimer. :)

Man, how amazing would it be to have open doors now. I remember when train drivers would have open doors, and even if they didn’t, I had lots of cab rides as a kid. I got to the point where I knew how to set a train up from start to finish, and sometimes would do so while the driver had a smoke break. I haven’t driven any particularly powerful cars yet, but as a kid, I was allowed to (and was quite good at!) using the regulator (aka throttle), and these electric multiple units had 16 motors adding up to nearly 3,000 horsepower. I got to do this when I was, what, 12?
That’s enough blathering on from me, but I miss those days a lot. I wish bad people out there weren’t ruining all our fun.
I do security work at Universal Studios and remember hearing a story about two Sheriff's that were having sex in one of the parking structures while ON DUTY and the only reason they got caught was because one of them had an open mic the whole time. They were transmitting. I was told this story by one of the current Sheriff's at USH and was laughing my ass off because I USED TO do remote video surveillance work and have caught people trying to have sex in a parking structure. Apparently they didn't know there were cameras. Very high resolution PTZ cameras with very expensive zoom lenses. I could have sold that sh*t as porn.
I've got so many Fn stories from my time working in remote video surveillance but I'd rather be watching a video than typing for the next two hours.
Make your own videos talking about those stories!
I know people sneaking out to do s*x is weird. But cops? Especially on duty? And one of them forgot to turn of their radio? That’s a whole new level to add to my “List of Weird Thing that Americans do that I should be Aware of”
@@Boypogikami132 cops have been having sex on the job for years.
Once females became firefighters there was all kinds of nastiness happening in every part of the firehouse.
@@Boypogikami132 There are times, every so often where I feel that being asexual (someone who doesn’t experience sexual attraction ever) really leaves me with a few blind spots where I have absolutely no frame of reference to enable me to understand. For example, wanting to join the “mile high club.” I mean if it’s like a private jet and there’s nobody else on the plane except the couple in question and the pilot-who is presumably in the flight deck at the controls, then okay whatever, I guess that’s one way to pass the time. Or, I dunno if your particular kink is pilots or aircraft or whatnot then, again, whatever there’s no judgment here.
But trying to join the mile high club on a commercial airliner? One fully loaded with passengers? In the toilet? That’s where my comprehension fails and I have no idea why anyone would ever want to do it in that situation. It can’t be comfortable, the space is tiny, they have to be quiet, toilets are generally not pleasant places and perhaps worst of all-not secure! The crew can override the lock pretty much at will. Now I haven’t flown in over a decade so I’m not sure what kind of locking override mechanism they have, but I work in a hospital and our public toilets have the same kind of override. We have a specific tool we’re supposed to use but I know a few everyday objects that would do the job.
And no, I’m not going to explain it here.
But similarly that situation makes no sense to me. Christ, if one finds one of their colleagues both attractive and willing then at least have the common sense to finish the shift and go home. Especially if it’s a job like being a cop where being on duty means the officer has to be ready to react fast if someone hits the emergency button on their radio. (In the UK at least. If a cop is in danger they can press a button on their radio that basically clears and overrides all the other radios and sets it to broadcast so every single cop in the city can hear and rush to help.) Or a car pursuit kicks off or something.
But again the location makes no sense to me either. What’s so appealing about a parking structure? Surely they’d be more comfortable at home. Again if police is their kink, again no judgment but they could play dress up and whatnot at home. Leaving the mic or radio on, eh people make mistakes.

That's the thing I've noticed about gay people, they aren't pushy about it. If you aren't into it, they leave you alone. Contrast that with an attractive woman/man, and all bets are off in the hetero community. If a gay person approaches you and you are not into that scene, it's a chill experience. Not so much on the other side.
Hell, some of the best wing people i have ever had were gay. In a gay bar. Yep, hetero's go to gay bars as well, usually just to hang out with friends, but all are welcome. Which can't always be said if the situations were reversed. It's all about accepting people for who they are.
Living in and working in San Fransisco with several gay co-workers, I was always puzzled by some of the weird gay stereotypes, since all of the gay people were just that: People: With all of the usual foibles and characters of everyone else. While some acted in stereotypical ways, most were pretty down to earth people who were great to have as friends. And yes, if you weren't gay, they did not treat you as a sex object like many men treat women. In my experience, there are two kinds of people: Nice people, and (cough) jerks. The rest is entirely dependent on openness to friendship.

She was about my age, single and we got on well but when she started talking about the mile high club it got a bit awkward then one thing led to the next and we had some fun.... at the end of the shift when we got out of the wing several on our team started clapping.... It was then that we realized that the wing without engines, flaps etc. start to move not just when you walk on the top of them....
Hey Kelsey, big fan from Egypt here. There is that movie that I watched, Final Descent, which was ridiculous to the point that I -not in any way affiliated with aviation- kept raising my arms in disbelief and making funny faces during the entire movie.

I love your channel! One thing just to maybe consider: it's a little confusing if you're telling the story in 1st person but make interjections that pertain to you. I'm not sure right away if it's the pilot you're talking about or actually you yourself. Maybe use a fake name for the pilot instead of telling the stories in 1st person? "Jeb sat there watching his captain look over his dating profile photos"? Just a suggestion - your channel is great regardless and I really enjoy it :) You've really helped me with my flight anxiety.

I joined the "Mile High Club" back in the middle of the 90's, during a flight between SFO and the old Kai Tak airport in HK on a Air China 747. A flight attendant (very cute) and I had "very fun" in the crew quarters. For obvious reason, we couldn't enjoy it very long so we were "busy" for only approx.10 minutes but we did also spend a night together in HK since she wasn't due back until next day.
I remember her well, even her name which I will disclose here. Fond memories of those days.

Newly subscribed fan here, just wanted to say thank you for such incredible content! Top shelf channel, Kelsey! Keep it up!... Please.
I was on a flight from Singapore to London (was living in Singapore at the time) and usually treated myself to business class on SQ (best in the world I reckon!). If anyone has been on the original SQ business on the A380, the seats were hugely wide. It was a night flight and there was a guy in the aisle seat opposite me (I was in the middle row). He was a little "tipsy" and was shortly joined by an equally tipsy girl. As it was a night flight, the cabin lights were dimmed - and they started getting more frisky than tipsy. Cabin crew came by and politely asked said "lady" to return to her own seat for more "comfort". This was ignored and as soon as the FA got to the galley, they started again and were definitely aiming for the MH club lol. FA reappeared just in time and insisted she move to her own seat "now". Bloke goes to the toilet (hopefully to pee lol) and FA came back to apologise to me (at least SHE realised I was awake haha). Seemingly the "couple" were total strangers and the girl said to the FA that they met in the lounge and get acquainted over some free booze (the SQ lounge in Changi was great). FA apologised to me and just rolled her eyes as bloke came back from the bathroom. Better that than the other time when some guy was drunk when he boarded and drank some more and then threw up all over himself and the seat. That was not pleasant on a sealed metal tube with recirculating air!
Achievement Unlocked. Mile High Club.
🤷🏽♂️ all I can say is stuff happens
That is the 20 foot club.
Hi Kelsey! Loved this. When I separated from who would be soon my divorced wife, I was dejected as I took a flight leaving her. I was in coach, but right up near the galley, which had a curtain separating coach from first class, etc. I was asked by a steward, and a stewardess later why I was so glum. I told them of my recent 'trial' separation, and I was dejected. After condolences they went back to work. The curtain was closed. In a bit I noticed the curtain moving a little near me, and then in hushed voices I heard the two of them talking dirty, and realized they were probably touching one another. It got more heated, and I was somewhat embarrassed (back then, at age 23, not today!). It got quiet, and then whoosh, the curtain was swept aside, and they were both holding each other (but not really sexually!) - and they told me "Got You!" - and they wanted me to cheer up. I received some champaign, and their devoted attention for the remainder of what was a short flight. That was over 4 decades ago, but I will never forget it. Possibly/Probably I will someday move in with, or visit for an extended time with my Ex. She is my daughters mother, and a good one. We've kept in touch over the years. She's been single for years now, not that it matters for we are beyond that point of thinking about it. However that flight was really depressing, and the crew was inspiring to me.
The video that took 74gear to 1M followers
Never had a pilot come out just to talk when I worked ramp...we aslo worked ERJs and CRJs with the baggage compartment in the back and it was cramped and dirty...no hanky panky in there. Most of the ladies that I worked ramp with were far manlier than I am so that killed any thoughts of it too...they could throw bags with the best of them and would have probably killed me had we ever got into that situation. We had a couple of supervisors that got caught in a ramp room and we had a place where bags were dropped by mainline for distribution among the regionals...we kept a small passenger bus out there for some shelter and heat...some things happened in that bus and they were also caught
Who could possibly not like Kelsey?
Something just popped into my head today and I think it would really fit in well with your channel. Anyway I think it would be really interesting for you to look at information on older flights that have had issues and go over the things going on and put it into a perspective of a pilot who flies today. Looking at the information of the things that happened and apply it to maybe a plane you fly regularly.
I say this because when I was 10 years old there was a major accident not far from where I was. United flight 232 to be specific. The plane had an engine malfunction and catastrophic failure mid flight that caused both primary and secondary systems to fail. To survive some people actually jumped out of the plane into a corn field. I have to wonder if a modern plane would have had similar issues or if it would even be possible to fly the plane as well as the pilots did. I am sure there are a lot of other things that have happened in the past and have made major changes to modern planes because of what we learned but would we still have the same issues or not if it was to happen again.
As I said flight 232 is a specific case where we have a TON of information as well as video of the plane coming in and it has been claimed as a true miracle so many people survived. I also remember it being on the news and tons of people trying to head down to the airport to see. Sadly the guy my mother was living with at the time was one of the gawkers who tried to drive down there with me in the backseat.
Yeah there are quite a few things that caused massive changes to try to prevent it from ever happening again. There are three that I know offhand. Because a tiny little metal disc wasn’t replaced after doing maintenance, the mechanism that controls the rudder totally spun off the jack scew entirely during flight. This both removed the pilots ability to control and move the rudder and locked it at a very extreme angle. There was no way to save that plane. So they redesigned the entire mechanism to make sure it can’t happen again.
Another example is when a plane developed a slow air leak, so the pilots got the checklist to try to troubleshoot the problem but because it didn’t say “put your oxygen mask on first” they didn’t and succumbed to hypoxia.
*This **_used_** to be pretty standard behaviour on red-eye flights - especially long ones. I used to commute by air (5-6 days a week), all over the country, and I've lost count how many times me and my wife has whiled away the long fights;-) I know it's very different today (today, planes are just buses in the sky. It used to be really nice!), but I have zero doubt it will forever continue in some amount...*
Yep, "that" happens in the cargo bins more often than not, I am one of them that have done the deed down there...
Both of these stories were hilarious- You're such a great UA-camr!
I have been stalking your page for an hour waiting for your upload. 😂
same time and day for about 2 years now...
I literally found your page a couple months ago and have watched everything. So now I know what time on Sunday! 😊
the last person that pranked me. Probably never pranked anybody again.
I hate pranksters .
especially in a professional environment.
You put a smile on my face Kelsey :D
Kelsey has me laughing all the time.
What I get a kick out of is my biological father graduated from Chelsea high school. So, when I hear Kelsey, I think of Chelsea.
I know I'm not as funny as Kelsey...☺️
@@Istandby666 You are funny! 😄
I think Kelsey and the flight attendants helping older aircrew set up dating profiles could be its own show
Really enjoy these Kelsey, always good for a laugh! Thanks.
That first captain seems like super stand up guy, like "let me go talk to them". Only dads do that 😂😂
"So I deleted the app..."
But apparently not his profile? XD
This is absolutely hilarious!!! I thought your intro was world class.. And, just like that.. You kept going!! lol THANK YOU for the smiles / laughs!! I've flown a bunch of whirly birds and fixed wings as well.. I have NEVER been in a 47. I may just dump the money to anywhere being your ridealong, You could cuff me up, gag me, etc. It would be something special.. NOT that much of the convo you drop here is like what goes on the deck Regardless, you are one in a million when it comes to piloting fatties and joking about things...
As always you make me laugh you're bloody hilarious 😂😂😂 keep it up.
Excellent, Do the Airport movies, 75, 77, etc
"They lost their chance of dating the Tom Selleck of aviation..." I've seen a few of your videos and you make some of the most hilarious comments sometimes.
When I was a ramper I used to take naps in the forward pit. Very comfy, a nice place to snooze. One ramper wanted to fly to Seattle so he got a buddy to close the door with him in the pit. He figured when he got there he'd just hop out and be a ramper until he could leave the airport. Unfortunately when the guy in Seattle opened the forward pit door and saw a guy inside he freaked out and started screaming. Security came and arrested the guy and he got fired.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kelsey "these stories dont involve me" Also Kelsey "they gave me his pictures to edit cause i have a lot of stuff on my phone for editing on instagram and you tube etc"
lol - my thoughts exactly! love this guy
Plus the flying the regionals part. Kelsey did indeed do it
If by chance you have not read the book "Cabin Fever" stories compiled by flight attendants you might want to track down a copy. There is some great stories that even if not true are fun to read.
Sooo... If I'm getting this right, two male ground crew (I'm assuming, because I've flown a couple hundred times and never saw female baggage handlers or rampers)--two coworkers--went into a cargo hold to hang out and eventually they ended up f*cking? That is one interesting work-friendship!
I've seen many women baggage handlers. Most are large and burly like the guys. The one that surprised me is the woman who tossed the bags down from the cargo hold onto the tarmac using only one arm.
"Guess I don't have a life" lmao Kelsey is priceless🤣
Love listening to this guys stories while I am busy working. Just love how he speaks. Great presenter :)
1982…Flight from lax to sfo a gorgeous lady has a seat next to mine. After reaching cruise she told me she was cold. Out came the blanket over her AND my legs. She went at it immediately as I returned the (cough cough) favor. Surprisingly we didn’t get caught. After we deplaned, a guy met her and whisked her away. Never saw her again!
I’d be stunned if regulations don’t demand the cockpit door is locked during flight, regardless of it being a repositioning flight and only crew on board. Crew can have bad intentions also
Kind of gives a new meaning to the term "repositioning flight" :-)
Crew does have access anyway. And Crews are scanned before and after hiring for potential threats. No guarantees, but the risk is way lower with crews.

That is quite possibly the funniest thumbnail I’ve ever seen. The look on the dude’s face killed me😂😂
Watch this get into trending within an hour
LMAO!!! Kelsey your cockpit confessionals are something I always look forward to. :)
Hey guess what! In Denmark, we have something called work experience in 8th grade, and that week you have to go to an optional workplace and learn how to work there! And that week, I'll have the coolest thing, I'm going to a pilot Academy!
check them out, they're really cool "Greybird Pilot Academy"
Oh my goodness!! Kelsey, you had me ROFLMAO!!!!! This was a hoot!! Thanks for the laughs!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Living in and working in San Fransisco with several gay co-workers, I was always puzzled by some of the weird gay stereotypes, since all of the gay people were just that: People: With all of the usual foibles and characters of everyone else. While some acted in stereotypical ways, most were pretty down to earth people who were great to have as friends. And yes, if you weren't gay, most did not treat you as a sex object like many men treat women. In my experience, there are two kinds of people: Nice people, and (cough) jerks. The rest is entirely dependent on openness to friendship.
😂 I never thought that my Atlantis cruise would make a cameo in your videos! 😂 🚢
Imagine running into some Mayday situation while we have ppl doing the fondue here.. 😳🤣
Why can't I stop watching this series? 😭
Keep up the great work! I’m 15 years old and I am super interested in flying :) I really want to become a pilot
Do it! I got my Private at 19 and my only regret is that I did not get it at 17.
That Grindr incident was quite funny, glad he took it in stride.
I wish I could just wait on an empty plane for three hours rather than wait in a bustling airport terminal!😂😂😉
Especially international as you get a bed in business class
4:53 That text comment you gave on the tinder entry is funny ;)
Hey bro. Love the vids, you have some really entertaining and informative content. BTW you have a doppelganger! I have just been watching The Story of Late Night, and one of the interviewees, Kliph Nesteroff, looks like your twin brother. His voice is also similar. Check his IMDB page, or even better watch The Story of Late Night.
Nice of you to asst on the delete, he was likely only minutes from becoming known as "The bear of the air".. You're a good friend. 😄
keep the blue sheets up!
Kesley, I aspire to be like you someday! The way you deliver on these videos; it shows the level of intelligence that you carry. I would love to have a conversation with you in regards to my driving and my senses. It is my belief that I'm capable and poses the skills necessary to be a pilot. My driving skills... I just wish you could take a ride with me...
My wife must be a pilot. She's always playing the fatigue card.
25 years ago, I was access control security at jfk. One time, while I inspecting a 747 passenger area before flight, a female security started getting too close, and we actually ended up grinding. She offered to do more, but I was worried other people were going to start boarding any moment. So I know that sht happens in airplanes.
I wouldn't trust him as my pilot if he went through the registration process and didn't realise the app was for gay people
😂
Something called Fatigue after a long flight bruh
OMG Kelsey 😂 It's currently 4:20am in Florida, my husband is sleeping next to me and I'm laughing my butt off with the Grinder story trying not to wake him up 😂🤣
It doesn't matter if you're involved Kelsey, we're still going to accuse you. Jk. 😅😅😅
