It’s the Dr. Mike of pilots
Player1H no captain joe is the dr mike of polots
I love this Comment so much
Lol, true😂
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING😂
I clicked on the video thought that and then saw your comment 😱
I wasted 10 years of my life as a boring accountant... now I am into my 2nd yr of flight training and love it !! This video confirms my positivity towards the aviation industry
that means you are taking the flight school around 32+?
Accountants are useful too
Peter Huang , After getting my Class 1 medical I started my flight training at 39 yrs
Des T, yes but I prefer flying 100 times more
Good for you. I spent 35 years as an accountant. Accounting adds no value to anything. People always angry with you. Wish I had gone into aviation.
'being a pilot is a stable job'
2020: I'm about to destroy this man's whole career
This is the comment I was looking for 😂
2020 : What stable job 😂
Only for some of those who fly passengers.
I mean many jobs are unstable now
Damnit Bc of corona... I want to be a pilot...
About to start my Private Pilot’s License training, only 17, being an airline pilot has been a dream since I was 5 or 6. Watching these videos have helped me so much.
good stuff
Me too I start september. I'm 19.
Nutella Poptella Nice. I’m excited it’s a dream career of mine.
I started a couple months ago too! I’m 15
Ill get my license this year! I'm in grade 11 probably the same as you.
Half of these comments are basically people flirting with Garrett
lol. I didn't flirt with him, but I looked at him. lol
garret? i know this using name adams william??
And why not with him, he is adorable.
Do a video explaining how ground school went, and what to expect !
Ground school is annoying as fuck
Billionaire Ballers Club 😂 lmaooo
Even with cons, it sounds like a great career path!
True
As a city bus driver I often wonder about being a pilot. I think there are some parts of our job you would wish to have and many from yours we wish we could have! Got a lot out of your video, thanks Garrett.
I am 30! I wasted 10 years as a programmer!! a boring job where I banged my head on the desk many times to solve bugs! finally, I am getting into pilot training! it is 100k expense but I think I rather do something that I enjoy than I don't
Hey, similar situationas you. I am 30yrs old except I am not as smart as you. Just curious, what pathway of training are you taking? Have you started???
But in those 10 years you made money so i wouldn’t say you ‘wasted’ your time.
I'm in the exact same boat as you! Went to school for programming only to realize I hate sitting at the same desk everyday maintaining code. Hoping to transition into aviation in the next few years.
Curious as to how the career is going? Have you obtained your ratings by now?
Im interested in how your career is going?
The dealbreakers for me were:
1: time spent away from home and family would put a ton of stress on me and my family
2: the cost of flight school and flight time needed to be hired is outrageous
3: the amount of hours needed to be hired is ridiculous
4: if anything happens to the economy, you could lose your job very easily (not a very stable career)
5: health problems like skin cancer due to increased solar radiation
6: Low pay starting out
7: getting hired is very competitive
#1: Flying is super boring
And a very unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle.
Everything you said are all false lol
@@Jrod110 How is it false? It's true.
@@Jrod110 I hope you’re right because I think I may pursue it anyway, I love aviation, I think I could work out my family life. 😁👍🏻👍🏻
I am 25 starting flight school In January! Just quit my job as a health insurance advisor, the most mundane repetitive job I’ve ever had. Took a discovery flight last week and can’t wait to get back in the air!
Flying is super boring. I was done with it after getting my CFI. That's why pilots drink so much.
@@1chumley1 well it depends if u love ur job good enough, even though if you want to be a pilot and be responsible for passengers' life then you should become a pilot, next year ill try my best to become a pilot, my realization just kicked in what I wanna do in my life, before that my choices were in another dimension, but after time you'll know what you want to be if u need to take a 1-year break, go ahead and do it!.
Did it work out? What's happened with flight school so far? I hope it's going good!
Did u crash?
How’s it going? I’m 24 and thinking about this career. Painting is pretty boring for me.
I’m 14, I’ve always think about what I wanted to do but being a diver, pilot, or astronaut has been my dreams. I’m scared I’m gonna waste a lot of time doing something that is useless so I hope I can be an airline pilot one day. I know maybe to some of you it’s funny but goddamn I’m scared of my future, I’ve always been like this. I’ve always wanted to be a diver pilot or astronaut because
1) I travel a lot with an airplane, my father is a marine biologist, he manage supplies and productions on a big company in France and whenever he travels he brings me with him
2) I live in a beach house I love the sea and swimming and diving in general
3) I’ve always been into space.
Hey I'm almost 14 and me too lol
Hi I’m almost 16 And I’ve been thinking abt that sins like 12, but when I got 14 like u I just started to look for infos and stuff, and sins that like I’m being very optimistic just imagining life as a pilot or an astronaut like wow...
There's nothing to be afraid of doing what you love.
Spend your time studying things that interest you, choose one that pays best regardless of how hard it seems to become qualified, get qualified by any means necessary, live your dream much earlier in life than your peers and have no reason to question your choice. Talk to your father about those options for yourself.
Same! I've just recently been thinking about being a pilot but I think I've watched to many plane disaster videos for that, but I watched some funny conversations between pilots and air traffic control and I swear I want to be one, but it seems hard with a family... btw since u should be around 16 now have u started flight training?
I've been in my position as a dental technician for almost six years now, and after watching this makes me confident that I'm making the right choice by quiting my job as a Dental technician and going to school full time to get my Associates in Commercial Pilot. Living off my 401k since I'm quiting for a year after working hard in that shit whole of a job for almost 6 years.
I'm 25 and by the time I'm in my 30's I'll be set with flying I just have to get rid of my fear of heights because if I go down we all go down
I just told my future college I will major in flight tech and operations! I have always loved the idea of flight. It has always interested me.
Love your video, its really interesting ! Can’t wait to become an airliner pilot
Why don't you have more followers? You seem so down to earth compared to many other UA-cam pilots, really enjoyed your videos!
Great video I appreciate your telling us what the job covers I have so much respect for all pilots I think maybe once upon a time I wanted to be one but didn't turn out that way for me take care all the best.
Thanks for the feedback!
I wish you would have talked about other pilot options besides the airline and corporate side, let’s hear your opinions on cargo!
Awesome video and congratulations on being Captain.
This is the first career prospect I can get excited about
Love your videos. You are always so well put together. I would to see a video on your grooming, products you use etc.
A lot of your pros and con's go for both the front and back of the a/c. I make it point to run on all my trips. Just had a 12 hour day, short overnight, 0440 van tomorrow. While exhausted, I forced myself to go out and run. Day was too beautiful not to.
I'm currently a student in highschool just trying to figure out what I wanna do, and it occurred to me I always wanted to fly. this video helped guide me into knowing if this is something I'm interested in, Very helpful. Thanks :)
did you end up doing it?
i’m in the same situation
@@chimpsimp9879 still in highschool! Maybe I'll come back and update it if I decide to take this path after all. Best of luck to you!!
@@crayonsforbreakfast7859 how it goin
I’m in highschool too, i personally have no idea what to do after highschool
@@crayonsforbreakfast7859 take a discovery flight. I’m on my way to become pilot. I just graduated highschool. Trying to get my ppl before college starts
Najbolji si, mnogo uspeha i dalje, cuvaj se...
Good job Sir! Keep up the good work and May God bless you and your family!
"Old white pilot with a mustache" 😂 it used to be so true exactly !
😂😅
captaingarrett907@gmail.com
I’m only 13 but i’m considering looking into multiple jobs. Two of the 4 i’m considering involve transportation, and being a pilot is one of them. I’m so glad I found your channel!
don’t sweat it man. you still thinking about being a pilot?
I like your vids and thank you for putting smiles on everybody's faces
thanks for the video i will soon have the last interview of Turkish Airlines. Hope i will success and use if i am asked what you explained. Thanks for the cons and pros
Awesome, great video ;). Although threre are advantages and disadvantages of being an airline pilot, the pros outweigh the cons.
Awesome good work..Keep up pilot Garret..
I really like your videos! And my name is Garrett and I’m going to flight school as well this Fall!
What a great Video, i have learned so much from this.
A few years ago, I flew with Scandinavian Airlines from Newark (NJ) to my native Stockholm, Sweden on an Airbus A330-343 and we had a female captain! I loved it!! What kind of planes do you fly?
7:54 My dad is a private pilot and it really depends on who your flying, if your flying for the boss of a company, or your flying celebs. It's more relaxed if your flying for a company because they have pretty set schedules were celebs (well-known ones ), have really hectic schedules because they might be filming and you have to go to multiple countries in a week, were as companies tend to stick to the same locations and might only need to fly a few times a month.
Always takecare Sir...being a pilot
You say you don't have to bring your work home, but how many hours a day are you home?
Awesome video. You're doing the best job in the world. Make more flying video. 👍👍👍👍👍
“Never have to bring your work home.” Wellllllllll mostly. You do have to keep up your study, you have to be tested several times a year
Efflorescentey after a while u just remover everything without revising it. It’s like the alphabet
Enjoy this video. Keep them coming. I'm on my last phase of my training nw.
I'm also pilot and in my opinion bad side to be pilot is not spend more time with family. And always feel tired after work just wish to sleep more than to enjoy
Mehri Jabbarova my husband is a chief pilot, yes he is always tired. Lol
So if im going to marry a pilot, i should be more understanding if he cant give more time for me?
I'm going to start my flight training next year!! So excited 😭 I've never met a female pilot though, so I'm afraid I won't meet many other girls to hang with, not that I can't get along with guys I just feel like I might get a little overwhelmed 😅
Soon to be female pilot here! I’m about to start my training
@@ThisIsTheKarter504 how's everything going so far?
Have learnt so much about the career and off time of a pilot! Thank you so much for all your very informative videos! Kind Regards.
I keep on watching vlogz like this because my brother wanted to become a Pilot .
I am a trucker now. but I want to fly too I love airplanes since I was a kid.
I'm glad I found your video, I'm 23 and thinking about switching to being a pilot instead of what I'm currently doing(Programmer). I'm going to look at some flight schools and take a deeper look
What happened?
@@DirtyBobBojangles well it's quite interesting what happened. So around the time I was taking a deeper look into school the pandemic came down full force. I halted my original plans and was going to continue when things opened back up. During the pandemic I got back into a passion of mine I haven't done in years. I fell in love with it again. (Bowling) so instead I'm gong to try open my own alley which was my childhood dream. But still might get my PPL!
@@stephenlevine3116 :/
This my dream job becoming a pilot...
It must really be a cool
Job !!! 😎
Very interesting video!! 1st Time on this channel! I got here by watching Documentaries about airport and traffic control in a day in a life, also. Im watching the show about Heathrow airport!! The book sounds very interesting I work as a vendor have been for 5 months been on the road a lot clocking in 49 to 59 hrs a week and before that I just worked a 8hr job got to go home on dot if I wanted and had time to workout and cook at home! But now work 12hr shifts almost everyday I'm so exhausted by the time I get home!
Bought your ebook. New airline pilot here. Made the jump from corporate. Don’t want to get fat. Thanks dude. Enjoy your videos.
Tell us when cabin crews sleep, i didnt see them around sometimes,
My first reaction since I’m watching your videos for the first time
Was daaaam he is a captain that’s a life dream in your age congrats
Are there different requirements from flying in the US to flying internationally?
Thanks so much for the honest pros and cons. I'm considering switching careers from my bland office job to becoming an ATP. The cost of flight school and need to work full time while attending flight school are currently my biggest obstacles. I don't want to have kids so I'm not worried about being away from home too much since it's just me and I absolutely love to travel as much as possible. But since you said the pay is good and the investment is worth it, I feel more encouraged to make the sacrifice to enter this field. I'm scheduling my first intro lesson this weekend!
Good luck
Ahmed AAO thank you!
When you start tell us about your experience ok
That's awesome. Follow your dream! I'm doing the same, quitting my carpenter job after 11 years to become a pilot. Best of luck!
Ashley Hoblin update?
When I training for my PPL, I remember the section about the powers and the responsibilities of a Pilot/ Captain. I was told that the Captain can arrest any person on the flight for a illegal act. Like if Pilot/ Captain witness a illegal act on his flight he can arrest or obligated to report this illegal act in flight. If found that the Captain witness this illegal act did not arrest or report this illegal act. Can the Captain loss his licence ? Can the Captain be arrested ?
Hi, I'm currently studying to become a pilot. And I wondered if you could make a video that includes advice for how to save up money for the pilot acadamy or give some studying tips
Love the travel benefits to explore around the world. ♡♡♡
Wish I would've started flight training 10 years ago when I was 19..... Where my life would be at this point...
Divorced, alcoholic and depressed. Dont feel too bad, money ain't worth everything
29 is still not too late to become a pilot the training takes 2 year's to complete and at 31-32 you still have 30 year's of work ahead of you
I'm 29. Just finished PPL and getting the rest of the ratings. Dont give up. Mandatory retirement is 65yrs old so you'll have plenty of time ahead.
You can try to start over again... it's never too late!
@@mattb9528 Why so negative? Are you even a pilot?
I would like to know when airlines pilots receive their paycheck? If every week or every month?
@P O'Haidhmaill yes, but it's okay. I love his youtube chanel.
Biweekly, direct deposit
mom; why do you want to be a pilot?
Son; to overcome my biggest fear!
mom; heighs?
Son; DYING ALONE
That’s fucked up😂
Its like a titanic movie but without your fiance
@@SupremeCourt127 lmaooo
I worked for SWA in Kansas City on ramp and then provisioning. Then I quit and joined the railroad 15 years ago and now I am a locomotive engineer which is a similar lifestyle. I would say one other factor, not sure if it is a pro or con, but it seems I am always on the move. Never in the same place for an extended period of time. I always tell people, I am either here or there or somewhere in between.
This is an amazing video keep up the great work
I’ve got a question mate, what plane do you fly?
HE WAS SITTING IN E190
We need a morning routine of yours
It's been my dream to get a phone and watch y'all videos cuz I wanna become a pilot thanks for the video👍👍👍
starting out [as first year, first officer] how often and how many days are you reserve? what is the best way to keep flying - not on reserve or downtime?
Just a question do u get to retire when u work with companies?
You sir are very handsome . Congrats to your parents for doing such a great job.
Thanks 💗
captaingarrett907@gmail.com
New viewers,happy to be here, great facts, keep the blue side up...
Do you know if corporate pilots are away from home the same as an airline pilot since they’re only on call? That’s what’s really holding me back from becoming one because I don’t wanna be away from home half the month.
How did you become a captain so young? Are you a regional capt?
im twelve and really want to be a pilot! ive been travelling all my life and i think its beautiful. do u have any tips for me?
your so blessed and lucky for having a good looking and a nice job godbless you and more power.
Wonderful pilot garnett is amazing pilot garnett take care always if you going anywhere. Proud of you babe
I’m really happy that airline pilots look like you!
The handsome pilot ever..!!! Goodluck to you and im just here to support you.love much
I have a question. is it better if I train as a pilot in the army or just go to training school. What are the benefits? More or less? You get paid more or????
I'm in high school right now, and being a pilot have always been my dream. I truly hope one day I'll get to work in the sky.
Are you still in high school? Have you made any progress since?
@@Tovarris I'm graduating from high school this year.. And my aim has not changed a bit. I've decided to take aerospace engineering for graduation and then go for pilot training. Also got a best friend with the same dream. We're gonna together work it out.
@@ameena1617 That's cool, what college are you planning on going to and will you try to get your ratings and certifications in college or after?
@is I've decided to apply for an engineering seat in a well known college, near where I live. I'm planning to study for that entrance exam now. Later, while doing the engineering I plan to take up ground classes simultaneously. And along with all this, I'll do my medicals too. Only after my graduation will I move on to pilot training.
There is NO any bad being Airline Pilot
That the way of life!!!
Miserable middle of the night showtimes, sleeping in hotels 4 or 5 nights every 10 days, miss every event for your kids until they are teenagers, working holidays, nights, graveyards, layoffs, divorces, home work piling up while away, great if you are single.
@@michaelallen1396 stay single then XD
Matthew Ooi lmao
The cost of training?
It's boring.
Just passing through doing some research on becoming a pilot. That comment you made on being a regional pilot surprised me. I don't know what that specifically means, but only making 20k a year sucks for all the training you seem to need to go through. I did a week of CDL training to get my class B and became a trash truck driver and make 3x more. No wounder there is a shortage.
I would love to fly as well but I’m 30 years old and pull doubles for a LTL carrier, home every day and gross 90k a year, have a good family life. I can’t really afford to leave such a good thing, it’s easy and stress free, just boring.
Great video, thanks for your perspective. Reading eating healthy, is not possible to cook n make your own meals while traveling? (I am Vegetarian and a pilot in the making).
My dream is to fly sir and I am really fascinated by you! I wish I can fly in the future.
Which university did u graduate? And which university will be the easiest way to become an airline pilot
not university but flight academy
KylerYT why do you say that? Please tell me, I’m planning to apply to Lynn University in Florida, i need to know why you say that... :(
@@2isceez You don't need a degree for the regionals but the majors require a 4year bachelor degree. If i were you I would get my 4 year degree first then go to ATP flight school. Also, your degree doesn't have to be aviation related . You want a degree you can fall back on just incase you lose your medical, furloughed, lost interest in piloting, etc. Best of luck to you.
Some Universities offer a flight program where you can be enrolled in college to get a degree while also being able to have flight time. For example, you can get a “Professional Pilot” degree at henderson state University in Arkansas while also earning your ATP license.
@@billrussell4832 there is also flow now from regional to mainline without a degree.
I've been looking for the answer to this question for hours now. Passengers get to keep a personal bag at their feet- do pilots bring a personal bag they keep in the front with them? If so, where is it stowed?
@Rain777 thankyooou this was so helpful lol 👍👍👍
This was a nice guidance for me to pass CRM, I was elected for THY but waiting for this epidemic to pass in order to start flight training👍 thanks Garett
You look like cody bellinger from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Damn boy !!! Why you gotta be this damn handsome ?!
One more orbit next time.Lets see you there when it comes back!
I am only 13 but this year or next year I will be doing a discovery flight and I am into aviation a lot so for you what was the discovery flight like?
I always think pilots look so sexy in their uniforms
Hi iam one of them 😉
hari permadi bruh

How often do you need to way your eyebrows? They look good. Better than mine!
That is genetic. If not in your genes you can not really do that. Hahahaha
CHA CHA you can make your eyebrows look good without genetics lol
My little sister just graduated from high school and has wanted to become an airline pilot. She already has a few hours flying time in small planes with my uncle. She is looking forward to applying to flight training school.
After arriving a flight, how long is your break (vacation) before resuming?
How strict is the aviation community on tattoos. Im getting ready to start training and me having tattoos on my forearms worries me. Im a veteran so in the military, tattoos were commonplace.
I'm about to go into flight school and have forearm tattoos. You would have wear long sleeve shirts to keep them covered.
U will just have to wear long sleeve shirts
I used to work for a regional, technically it’s against the rules but nobody cared. Guys would have exposed tattoos all the time. We also wore north face jackets (not approved with the uniform), nobody cared. However if you get a strict chief pilot they may have something to say about it.
his smile is so cute :/
Cool vid man. New sub. Finishing up ground school and start flying IFR next month. Just curious man where do you get your aviator button up? Yours look extremely well fitted and that’s the look I’m going for. Please help.
Enjoy the videos. You mentioned flight benefits and get a ticket online. So you don’t have to fly standby you can actually book a seat?
Damn ur such a good looking pilot
Dear Garrett and crew,
Ive always been interested in aviation but went a bit different path so far, yet strongly concidering doing my ATPL licence and actually working as a pilot.
Will it still be a good time to start in 2-3 years (finishing my mechateonics degree as a safer and steadier plan)? Thinking about European Flight Academy by Lufthansa - is it any good as a school (or later hopefully an employer) for a non english nor german native speaker? Maybe you could recomend other schools in Central Europe?
Thanks,
Iiiiii love planes.espesh passenger jets.ive seen so much about jet engines.wings build and stresses.landing gear and their testing.aircraft tyres and there manufacturing processes. Landings .takeoffs.how the fuselage is built.the wiring looms of jets.BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE CLOSE UP AND PERSONAL HOW THOSE MASSIVE TAILPLANES AND RUDDERS ACCTUALLY OPERATE FROM INSIDE THE TAIL OFF THE AIRCRAFT.
everything sounds amazing!! beside “commuting” lol
My dream is to become a pilot🤩.. I love it since i was 7 years old but when i think about family... It just felt uncomfortable cause it risk everything 😶...
I agree
when u become a pilot they wont let u fly until you are 100% fully trained and even then, you'll have a fully trained pilot/co-pilot to help.
Same
I mean you can risk everything when you get into a car and go drive 🤷♂️
