FIVE DAYS AS AN AIRLINE PILOT and a LIFE UPDATE

I can’t believe I spelled Newark incorrectly. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Hey Paul, Fellow airline pilot here. I just wanted to comment on how I appreciate the quality of your videos. From the very clear and coherent idea and writing, to the execution of filming, sound capturing and editing, with an animation here and there. Absolutely fantastic end result, delivering a perfect amount of adventure, aviation, destinations, family, information about the job, and a wholesome message to wrap everything together. Fantastic job. I never tend to be such a 'backseat rider' and comment like this, but you should know how much your fine work is appreciate it. And regarding almost giving up Youtube, there is something to be said about your clear methodology, debrief, set goals, make a plan and execute, that MADE you develop your craft of making absolutely beautiful videos over time. Maybe it started at that very point, when you made that video two years ago as if it would be your last, and I'm very happy that it wasn't because I enjoy your well delivered content very much. Something about the clarity of your message truly resonates. Well done man, really - Bravo. Blue skies and easy commutes!

Wow! A collaboration with BIG ERN. I am a subscriber of both YouTube channels!

I am so glad you didnt give up on this channel. I really enjoy living vicariously through you and seeing the world. Im from Jersey and hope to have you as my pilot one day so I can say Thank You! Keep the videos coming. I look forward to your next adventure.

"Someone is dreaming of being where you are right now." That is a great reminder. It isn't always about the destination, but about the journey. And yes, I sure wish I could have one more day with my dad, sitting along the airport fence watching those airplanes.

Wow Paul...I watch all of your videos because I like the content you give and I am a loyal 1K United flyer. This video, however, was different. As I watched the last part of the video about the grass strip I thought about my dad, though long gone, made a huge impact in my life. You brought a happy tear to my eye, and for that I am grateful. I love your honesty and even your vulnerability that you show in your videos. I hope to see you on a flight some day and shake your hand. Create the memories that your kids will have of you when you are long gone. Peace brother!

Wow what a TREAT!!!....I literally shouted BIG ERN when I saw him!!!! What a treat two of my favorite YouTube Airline pilots together. I didn't know he had a podcast. I'm new to your channel as of 2023 and I'm still catching up with your old stuff....You said PHO. So that will be the video I watch next! Thanks for everything you do and sharing with us Captain. Your editing and production is next level!!!! Edit wow. "Most people quit right before a breakthrough!" I needed to hear that.....

I've only ever left 2 comments over the many years I've used YouTube, and you deserve one more. This was a motivating video as I have, for over a year, wanted to get into aviation. I still have a long ways to go before becoming an Air Traffic Controller or Pilot but the way you have balanced your life with family, work, and adventures on your own is truly amazing.

Wow…you got to meet up with Big Ern. Two of my favorite Aviation YouTubers. What a surprise and treat this was to watch and I’m sure it was for you two as well.

Thanks for a great video Paul. Love hearing about your adventures, travel and experiences. Had a big smile on my face throughout your adventures on this one. Thanks for being the friendly face of travel and airline travelogues.

May the Lord continue to keep you safe as a pilot as you traverse the skies this year 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️🙏🙏🙏

Please stay encouraged! I admire your whole life and career. I've always wanted to be an airline pilot from since I could remember but lost focus over the years. However, I'm glad I found a renewed focus on it, and it's people like you and Big Ern who keep me motivated. I've followed a few others, and unfortunately, due to whatever circumstances they no longer post, which is disappointing. So please continue to post videos. Also wanted to add that I'm following you all the way from The Bahamas 🇧🇸 🎉

The production quality, voiceover and small meaningful touches make your videos an absolute joy to watch. This is a very dynamic, demanding but rewarding career. Without a doubt the best part is seeing/hearing all the stories along the way. Glad to have stumbled upon your videos when u first started and can’t wait to see what else you produce Paul. 🙏🏾

I for one, am glad that you stuck with it. Thank You for sharing your journey and your adventures!

@mylayoverlife. Great video! Looking forward to what is to come for you and your channel in 2024. I've been pursuing a talent acquisition career with United, utilizing my military experience for over a year now. Unfortunately, the timing and openings haven't lined up. But let me say... the last 10-15 seconds of your video really got to me. You are spot on. Sometimes, we have to take a step back and realize how far we've come. I think I've always tried to pursue the "what's next?" without appreciating where I am now. Thank you for reminding me to be present in the moment. Blue skies and tailwinds to you and your family throughout 2024!

Paul, with the content you produce, your channel will continue to grow. Best of luck to you. Great seeing Big Ern with you too. Safe travels👍🛩✈️
