Kelsey’s continuous hunt for free breakfast is the hero’s side quest that fuels us all
LOL 💯
Yeah, but then all he ever gets is fruit and granola! Healthy but not really taking full advantage of the "free" possibilities!
The poverty experienced going through flight training sears into the lizard brain that continental breakfast and FBO snacks are required for survival 😂
I know once the pilot checks start coming in the free food will always be a priority in my mind.
That's all normal for a pilot.
main quest !
A pilot who films himself being “undercover“ is like two documentary teams tasked with recording the other.

@@marklundeberg7006 i found his hotel on google earth its called Wakiki Beachcomber
@@Aviator_Bree It might be fun to check it out, but don't be creepy and start E-stalking youtubers.
Fantastic comment
That could be really funny.
I'm slightly surprised, yet completely grateful, that your company lets you show as much as you do. Very nice video
Yes same, I feel like he's only recently been able to film more probably because of the growth of his channel.
Same here, I expected all the airline companies to be incredibly strict on this stuff, so as long as he remains safe and focused on what needs to be done while in the cockpit I've been loving the footage
Smart for the company, if I were looking for a pilot job I'd prefer working for a chill employer (that goes for any job really)
You have a point there. Several pilots on twitter have stopped filming because their airlines gave them strict orders not to film anymore while on the job.
@@SRQmoviemaker "chill" and "aviation" somehow don't go together, you know... you do have the lives of hundreds of people in your hands.
This has to be one of the most fun episodes ever. The destination, your cheeky undercover game... and you took the news about no included breakfast like a MAN. Shame you didn't get a bit longer of a layover, but still what a hoot. Great job by your editor by the way. He cranks up the production value but very carefully and in tune with your style and personality. Well done.
glad you enjoyed it and ya I had to go through A LOT of editors to find him, very good at what he does!
@@74gear You should include free breakfast in his deal, then ;) Btw I'm preparing for pilot cadet selection over here in Europe, and your videos are a huge motivation, so thanks!
Man wanted breakfast 😂 buy yours..you’re a pilot!!😂
@@74gear hope you catch this, how long can a flight be before they say need more pilots so others can rest during flight?
Great funny video
LOL, "Operation Free Breakfast". I love how you travel on your tummy. It always makes me laugh when you search out the hidden snacks.
Kelsey’s two top loves. Free food and flying:- which is first is anyone’s guess and probably depends on the day. Go Kelsey, get those snacks and eat as many free breakfasts as you can. You only live to fly once,
As a former touring musician I can totally identify with your desire for free breakfast. It was the only thing that could get me out of bed before 10 am. Cheers from Denmark!
Seriously 😂 late check out... unless there's free breakfast! Then I'm first at the table 😋🍴
Nothing beats free food
not sure why but I am free food motivated I guess.
@@74gear LOL !!!
Thanks for your outstanding videos. Many greetings from an old retired F900EX Captain with 12500 hrs and more than 8000 T/O ˋs and LDGˋs
The pure sadness in Kelsey’s face when he found out he couldn’t get free breakfast… sorry 😭
How lovely to see Honolulu again. We first went as an Australian Military family on break from a really, really tough posting. I was beyond shocked at the respect shown to my husband everywhere we went. I couldn’t work out why until I actually asked a person at a ticket booth. He said ma’am we respect our Military Allies and Aussies are always so damn happy and friendly! My love for the USA started with that very first trip. I have been back to the US many times for work and so enjoy being there and the absolute courtesy of my US colleagues. As a couple we have been back many times, picked up an RV and just pointed lets go that way. We were in Maine and I had a slight accident at the RV park. I swear that I have never seen so many people rush to my aid. I did need further help, and the gorgeous couple parked next to us, just called around everywhere until they found what I needed, and then drove me there, waited patiently, and drove us back. Wowza. You meet the nicest citizens in an RV Park I tell you. We are still friends to this day, but they won’t come to Australia because of the Drop Bears and all the other nasty critters here 😂
Drop Bears wouldn't last 10 minutes in Oregon....Our Sasquatch would pound 'em flat!
Tried your channel because my Dad was a 47 engineer in the’60’s and 70’s-he designed the light for the emergency chute and more. Subscribed because I enjoy your vibe, content and seeing the 47 from a different perspective.
Don’t stand between Kelsey and free breakfast 😂
😂operation free breakfast!
It's so ironic to suffer through coach and rush to several airports just to make sure you get enough rest time
From a legal stand point, I doubt there's any difference between coach and business as far as "rest" goes (especially business narrow-body as that's often not lay-flat anyway. And laws for pilot rest are extremely strict!
@@Green__one oooh you get a lot more rest in Business Class! Unless the flight is empty which never happens anymore.
Hurry up and wait.
@@captainLoknar I'm not arguing that at all. I certainly enjoy my lay flat seats, as long as the company is paying! I'm just saying that it may not qualify as the right type of rest from a legal pilot standpoint. My last two economy trips I managed to finagle three seats, but even then, there's no real way for someone over 6 ft to really get comfortable, especially as the window armrest doesn't go up.
You were on my crew for my first OE PF flight in the 747! I had no idea you were a youtuber until I stumbled on you videos a few months ago.
That's it? Give us some Kelsey gossip!
I lived in Oahu Hawaii for 7 years, and we used to Jet Ski right next to the taxiway that you filmed arriving in Honolulu. It was so cool to ride next to the planes taxiing out to the reef runway. We would wave at all the people leaving and many times saw the pilots waving back! Cool episode Kelsey 🙂
You’re always so friendly! Have a good week, Kelsey 🏖️
This is one of the best videos you've made. Really interesting and fun. I hope the new format is less stressful on you.
I agree! I had so much fun watching this.
Yes it was an interestingly fun video
idk if its less stressful but I think they are fun for people to see that side of life and cool to have a history of things I have done and places I have been
Why not give the $10 to homeless peole instead he doesnt need your money they do.
Yes, I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed this Video. I wish some parts of the video were a little more detailed, but overall, it all was OK. Thanks Again, Tiger
Its interesting to see pilots going through some of the same adventures as us passengers in dealing with being on time and getting as much perks as possible along the way!
You really manage to knit in a little snip of everything in your day/night and also a bit of location vlogging. Very enjoyable. I hope you are happier now, you look it. Keep the blue side up!
I remember flying on Air Mobility Command flights in the mid 2000's (05 and 06, primarily). Y'all used to make jokes about all of the guns on the plane (because, of course, we were rotating in or out of combat). Flying home with AMC was one of the greatest joys I've ever felt. Strange as it is to say it, home came and picked us up.
“If there’s a little delay then I’m delaying 400 people”
So pilots DO feel bad when my flight is delayed 4 hours 💀
Awesome vid kelsey, they keep getting better ;)
Some times, it's not even their fault and they are delayed like everyone else. I've heard stories of pilots being the cause, but all in all, they're a pretty diligent bunch.
Well of course they do. They can’t go home either until the delay ends! Haha
@@aserta why would a pilot intentionally delay a departure other than for a good reason? Pilots aren’t getting paid unless the airplane is moving.
@@aserta The only reason a pilot delays a flight is because it affects the safety of the flight and that comes from the Flight Dispatcher in the OCC (Operation Control Center) who is also responsible for the flight.
Thank you for the laid back, calmly-voiced narration. This is the kind of travel channel stuff I would watch because it's not the forced over-the-top salesman voice of travel bloggers.
ya I am just being me, I think the over the top probably gets more views but this is just you hanging out with me flying around the world sometimes.
The travel bloggers are also possibly giving a sales pitch for whichever resort gave them a free stay...
As a truck driver in Oregon and Washington, I always brag that my cubicle has some great views. They are nothing compared to yours! Enjoyed the episode.
Damn right you do. I’ve road tripped around there a bit and there ain’t much better
As a non-American who has only ever visited Orlando, what do you love about it? I live in Spain and I argue that the trip from Málaga out towards Nerja (although obviously *much* less driving than is possible in the USA lol) along that coast is unbeatable! Mountains on one side and the sea on the other, and finish around El Cabo de Gata in Almería. Maybe one day I'll do yours and you do mine and we can compare notes ;) haha@@mattscarf
Best part about arrival in HNL or Hawaii, is... the air. Warm but soft from humidity, fragrance of the flowers (and, well, some kerosene fumes if still near the open-air jetway, from the planes)...
instant relaxation. ahhhh
Hey flight attendant. You have to hold this flight!
Uh, sir, why should we hope this flight just for you?!
Because I'm the pilot.
I should have been a pilot. Now I have to live vicariously through 74 Gear videos. Awesome video!
If you’re under 55 and healthy I’d say go for it.
@@someguyontheinternet7165 and wealthy*
@@someguyontheinternet7165healthy…and wealthy beyond need, no family etc. lol! I wish I could do it. Can’t even live on my own with 4 mouths to feed let alone go become a pilot. Dreaming and living through this channel though for sure. 😅
Ha Ha Ha- you are not alone! Ha Ha Ha
@@someguyontheinternet7165 That's what I'm doing. I was training to be a pilot in my 20's. PPL MEA CIR. My relationship went south and I was almost bankrupted. Fast forward 23 years and I got made redundant from my job with a good severance package. I've put it all on red to finish my CPL and get my CIR back. Can't remember the last time I was this happy with life.
They are lucky to have a person/pilot of such dedication. Bravo Zulu.
Kelsey, nice acknowledgement regarding the service of your passengers. Rest well in paradise and thank you for this video. 👍
"Id love to fly those" bro you fly a 747 thats like very good
I was lucky enough to live in Hawaii for 13 years while my parents were in the Navy. I love that airport. I remember seeing 747's, DC-10's, MD-11's, L1011's. I even flew Aloha's old 737-200's. For a few years we lived under the approach to 8L so I'd stand outside while watching the big planes land and the big ships pull in. Some of the fondest memories of when I was little.
I am happy to say I recognized your mechanics in HNL from my back to back to back to back... 9 turns from MEM - HNL back in November.... hauling Fed-Ex cargo in 476 for peak.... good crew there in HNL!
Oh man, I don't think you've any idea just how good this upload is. It's by far the best UA-cam video I've watched in weeks. More in the same format, please. 😃
well I am glad to hear that thank you if I get to Thailand again maybe I I will do a vlog there
Reminds me of the old school UA-cam. More relaxed vlog type videos instead of over the top HEY GUYS LOOK AT ME DOING A THING FOR CLOUT
@@74gear Maybe consider having a separate channel from 74 Gear, dedicated to specific destinations and personal experiences whilst there. Petter has successfully done it with his Mentor Pilot and Mentor Now Channels. '74Gear Destinations' would be a great name for it. Look forward to seeing a Vlog from Bangkok! 😊
Agreed! The chill down to earth and Kelsey commentary and jokes are 💯🔥
How fabulous ! Cheers Mate…from Oz
Great video Kelsey! Thank you for the behind the scenes look, I find those always fascinating!
Loved this one Kelsey - I love that your company allows you to show as much as you do. We live the dream through you!
who does he fly for?
Great to see you brother, enjoying some time.
You're one of the best .
Stay safe my friend.
thank you for all you do .
Your editor is fantastic! What a keeper :)
I know right! I feel like they've been like, amping up Kelsey's personality. A good channel in general :)
His videos have always been interesting but they certainly have gone up a notch in the past few months.
I agree! This was a very fun video to watch! The editing was perfect. The editor keeps getting better and better.
Your videos keep getting better and better!
THANK YOU! This was wonderful! I really enjoyed seeing the inside of the cockpit, and how your day went.
I've always wanted to go to Hawaii. It's on my bucket list now.
How did he even do this outside shot
THIS is literally my dream!!! Being a pilot, flying over the pacific, visiting islands… the list goes on. Amazing video!
What a great video. You’ve got a great eye for what to shoot for a really cool edit at the end. A great balance between impromptu casual vlogging style (without being all Blair Witch 🫨) and discerning and structured sequences, shots and timing that kick up the production and immerse us in the context more like a high budget travel documentary.
Kelsey, this is one of the best you've ever posted! I love the life and times like this! Thanks so very much!
The editing and the music... love it!!
I can’t believe they don’t let off duty pilots in AA lounges. I’m always chatting with pilots flying up to Anchorage or sitting in lounge. Hopefully one of these days I’ll see you and thank you in person.
I can't believe he's so cheap, lol don't they pay those guys?
@@richardleach1706 Lounges always have better food. And since I’m not a pilot, free drinks!
@@richardleach1706 I don’t think they pay as much as we think they do 🤷♀️
@@richardleach1706 Not cheap, but smart. Also, lounges have better food. Why pay extra when you are basically working..
I can understand to a point, but I once saw a Dallas AA agent tell a FedEx pilot (who was not in a uniform) to remove his FedEx logo pullover before she would allow him in the club. I don’t see them demanding any other employee from any other company (Microsoft, Ford, Deloitte, or any other company) remove a logo shirt or coat.
I remember the old airport - and 4 prop planes to fly to Hawaii. Wow what a difference today and people complain ? Try flying from El Paso to SFO, to Oakland to Hawaii and then to Kwajalein. Two Killer 11+ hour trips back to back.
My goodness these vlogs are quality. Really very good stuff indeed.
Also I love (I assume) your editor both for their edits but also their choice of music. It's never that stupid electronic repetitive stuff, but actually something that adds to the imagery and is fun to listen to for the couple of seconds it's there. Awesome stuff! Still baffled by how ridiculously good these vlogs are for an 'unexperienced' vlogger.
Great video ! Thanks for the up-close . The Ocean in Guam looks really nice . Hope you enjoyed !
I'm with Kelsey about the free breakfast. One of life's little pleasures. Love these "real people " style videos too!
Great video. Great behind the scenes. Love to see more of these
I love the view of the city lights as the sun comes up or with a moonrise. It's like nothing else.
I hope you show us some more of your Guam layover. I lived there from 61-63 and from 65-72 and I hardly recognize places when I see them in photos and videos these days.
Hey @74 Gear, the music choice here is outstanding! I loved the whole video (and your "conitnuous hunt for free breakfast" :D ) and the honest approach. But the crown is the music here, there is not a bad note!
Great vlog as always!!! I’m really liking these videos more than the others! It’s like a “day in the life…” of Kelsey, and it’s so fun! I wish I could dive into that Guamanian water RIGHT NOW!!!
It's always great to get a glimpse into the life of a pilot and a peek behind the scenes. I've been one of those troops in the back of the plane.
I experienced Hawaii for myself in 1995. I'll never forget the Aloha Spirit. What a feeling of well being!
Love traveling with you, Kelsey! ❤
I love how you are becoming more and more comfortable vloging. Keep the good work up!
Watching your channel is part of what inspired me to pursue being a pilot. Your videos still make me excited to reach 1500 hours and work my way into flying like you! Love the videos!
Thank YOU for YOUR service Kelsey!!!
Love the newer format, Kelsey! Music, quick story, your dry caustic wit, entertaining as always! I enjoy how you just tell it like it is - never pull punches. Awesome! 😄
What a view from the captain’s seat. Great job Kelsey showing us maintenance crew keeping the blue side up. Overall one of your best videos.
This was so much fun to watch. Love your editing style
Kelsey needs to lauch a few T-shirt designs with "Is breakfast included?" on them LOL
What is the magic word?......."FREE!"🤑🤔🤨🧐🤠
I work in crew scheduling for a charter airline, so it's interesting to see your side of a scheduling squeeze play. Great content as always, Kelsey
Love your Utube handle.......
😂😂😂no clue at all
@@ClearedAsFiled thanks, I picked it because I’m dumb
Such a fun channel. Calming for someone who is terrified of flying. You make it look so easy.
Thanks!
I always enjoy the behind the scenes pilot videos. My favorites. I also appreciate folks who like to squeeze a penny and get what they can for free on trips! Well played.
Enjoyed the video, Kelsey. You've really got a great job.
You are a natural born traveler , you have figured all the quirks out . And are comfortable alone.
Just wanted to extend a big thank you for sharing your life with us this way! Many of us AVgeeks grew up dreaming of being a career pilot but never had a chance due to (in my case) medical or other reasons. Your videos let viewers get a vicarious taste of this dream we cant let go!
I actually love the way you did this video, its nice taking us out and about on your adventures. Thank you for the time you spent putting this video together and know that many many of us wait for your next video. See you on the next one commander!
Love the behind-the-scenes, day-in-the-life, pilot lifestyle videos. Great evolution of the channel.
Awsome video! Great to see the "highlights" of your trip.
I haven't watched one of your videos in awhile because UA-cam hasn't been recommending them but holy crap has your video quality gone up
Others have said it, but I’ll chime in too. The format of this video was FANTASTIC. One of my favorites you’ve done. Hell yeah.
I know these types of videos are hard to produce but they ARE MY FAVORITE! Please keep them coming!
Excellent video Kelsey, well done. Truly appreciated every second of this video. Thank you.
That was fun. You must be the “free breakfast” expert! 🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing.😅 Yes. You made me laugh!!😅 Yes, I liked the lounges as well when I was crew member flying. I had my memberships before working for my former airline company. Yes, a nice Gap jacket with scarf in cold cities or in warm cities a nice black or blue polo shirt to walk into a lounge close enough to my flights. And putting away our, my, company work IDs as well.😅😅 Yes, the breakfast and lunch meals were and still area when I look for in airline lounges.😅
I am glad I went to the lounges on my off days.😊
Yes, it is very nice to take the service men and women to there bases. 😊
Man, your videos keep getting better and better!!
Not that they've ever been bad.
Keep that up and you'll be at 2 million before you know.
Nobody does it like Kelsey😉
Great editing Kelsey! If you have someone doing the editing for you, Please let them know what a great job they did!
ya I couldn't put something together like this. I give him my trash clips and he gives me the videos back looking like what you watched haha
@@74gear Hi Kelsey
When are you going to correct the BASIC mistake you made trying to rubbish that BA Captain decision not to accept
180 kts to 5 DME 22L JFK.
You showed the chart for
RWY 31.....you muppet.
I don't know a single B747-400 Captain who would accept that clearance.
That's probably why you are still a co-pilot. ..
Rong Wunway chart.
Oh ...for your needed education
5 DME on 22 L ILS is ONLY
3.6 NM FROM THE RUNWAY. ...
NOT CO-LOCATED. ...
You only impress armchair and the ignorant....
Your level.
@@74gear how long did it take him to give you back the final cut?
@@stefannicolaescu294 3 and a half years roughly
LOVED this video! The choice of music, the slo-mo door opening in Honolulu was artful and cool - and your ever present hunt for the free breakfast is a hoot!
Kelsey is living his best life!
Look at Kelsey living the dream! Excellent places to be 'working'.
Gosh I just found u on UA-cam and u have kept me interested for ages and I am enjoying watching 😊
I’m a big fan of the lounges. I frequent the Skyclub and Centurion. And Hawaii is my second home. I enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Business class all the way! ❤ Guam is on my bucket list, I’ve heard great things. I hope you remembered your sunblock.
Great video Kelsey, always looking forward to Sunday mornings! 🤙🏾
I always go to the centurion lounge. I love it. And Guam is beautiful. Definitely make it out there if you can. Just maybe not during a typhoon.
This was a fun pilot vlog, a nice insight in to the day to day of being a pilot!
You really cracked me up this time LOL! Thanks for all the hard work and telling about it too!
the editing and music choice for this video is amazing, thanks for sharing Kelsey and as other comments have said, your hunt for breakfast is amusing but relatable
I think I found and watched all of your vlogs of you doing your daily job, and I must say, your all consuming passion for free breakfast is impressive and I, sir, salute your tenacity!! These vlogs are so good to see your perspective, thank you for sharing!!
Lovely video, really enjoyed it! Great to see all the pilot things we don't get to see as passengers.
Kelsey, the dashing undercover pilot! Hawaii looks SO BEAUTIFUL!!
It really does. And Guam was no slouch either!
For Kelsey, breakfast isn't just the more important meal of the day, it IS his whole meal for the day. 😂
For more than one day
Beautiful flight over the ocean. Thanks for the scenes approaching and being in Guam. Looks wonderful.
Brilliant one Kelsey. I love the free breakfast. What happens in the Hotel? Do you nip out to an ABC for a hotdog? Honalulu is beautiful too. That moist hot air as you get off the plane. You know you are in Paradise. Hey at least you overlooked the Pink Palace, sort of. I really enjoyed this more in depth one. Thanks for sharing.
Undercover Kelsey was great! It's good to know pilots are real people.❤
This was a lot of fun to watch, especially as I'm housebound and can't go anywhere nice. It's wonderful to experience these trips and places, both from a passenger and pilot perspective.
Wow, what a great video. Some flying, some off duty shots, and some behind the scenes of being a pilot. Loved it all!
One of the best pilot vlogs/videos I've ever seen. Been to Guam....flew EVA TPE-GUM and stayed for a week at the Hyatt. Indeed the water is that clear blue!
Loved it. The new ending was wonderful Kelsey. I love seeing you on the beach. Have a beautiful week sir.
Having flown as a CA for AA, I totally appreciate this video, Kelsey! Keep up the great VOD's!
Spoken like a TRUE Captain!
