Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel
2
and to a very important video about things you should know before becoming a pilot.
3
What are we waiting for?
4
And let's get started.
5
Today's video is brought to you by the Future Pilots Masterclass.
6
Pilots come prepared.
7
You'll see at the end of the video.
8
Being a pilot is not an official job.
9
Okay, this may surprise you, but sadly it is true.
10
The pilot job in many countries is not listed as an official job.
11
What I mean by that is, in Germany for instance, when you lose your job, like I did after the bankruptcy of Air Berlin,
12
I went to the job center here in Munich and enlisted as unemployed,
13
meaning they would contact me if there was a job position as a pilot for an airline.
14
Do you really think airlines hire pilots from the job center?
15
No, they don't.
16
So the interviewer at the job center sort of asked me if I had any other job qualifications besides my pilot license.
17
I didn't.
18
So he said, as your job isn't an academic profession, meaning I don't have a university degree,
19
basically only received flight training to do one thing he frowned
20
and said well we'll have some real difficulties finding you a new job please apply to any airline
21
and inform us once you have a job again goodbye now
22
to make a long story short with your pilot license you
23
can only fly planes that's it no one is going to offer you a job as an accountant, maybe an apprenticeship.
24
Constant training and learning.
25
You'll be surprised how much training and check flights we have to pass every year.
26
Just to mention a few, you annually have to pass your medical examination.
27
So exercising regularly and eating healthy throughout the year will reduce your anxiety prior to this annual check.
28
Once you turn 50, the medical checkup will be twice a year.
29
Then you have a day of ground school training once a year.
30
The operator will check on your system, navigation, procedure and SOP knowledge.
31
Followed by two simulator checks every year where your competence,
32
manual flying skills, procedural knowledge and how to deal with emergencies will be assessed in four sim sessions each four hours long.
33
You need to be at the top of your game for these sim checks.
34
If you fail, you will be grounded for a while, may have to receive some extra training, and then will be rechecked.
35
Then you have a line check, annually or every two years, on the actual aircraft.
36
Here an examiner is sitting on the jump seat behind you, evaluating your performance, and checks your system and procedural knowledge.
37
Fail it, and you are grounded for a while until you've received extra training.
38
Now besides these physical checks, you have regular computer-based learning sessions that you have to complete every 2-3 months,
39
keeping you in the books.
40
This can vary from airline to airline, but the more established ones will have all these checks in place.
41
The seniority list is strict.
42
This is an important one and has cause for a lot of confusion.
43
Seniority in an airline is everything.
44
I say that one more time, seniority is everything.
45
When you start out, you'll be at the bottom of the seniority list and at the bottom of the pay scale.
46
Over time, you move up the seniority list until it's your turn to upgrade to captain and get the respective salary.
47
But suppose at some point during your career, you realize you want to switch airlines because the other airline has a base closer to your home.
48
As you make the switch, you will lose all the seniority positions you have gained with the previous airline
49
and start back out at the bottom of the list and pay scale.
50
I am the best example for that.
51
After flying for 8 years with AirBerlin, I was close to my upgrade, but just before that the company went bankrupt.
52
I was then unemployed for half a year until I got my job with Cargolux.
53
I had 5,000 jet hours at the time, so I had enough experience to join Carglox, and having the experience was great,
54
but I had to start at the bottom of the list.
55
Now this is not just for Carglox, any respectable airline hires you for your experience,
56
but you have to accept that you'll start all over again on the seniority list.
57
So I have 8 years of experience at Air Berlin
58
and another 10 to 11 years of first officer time at Cargolux to become a captain.
59
Even if you are already a captain, airlines may hire you, but you have to turn in your four stripes and fly as a first officer again.
60
Now you say, that seems super unfair.
61
Well it is not, because if someone came to Cargolux as a so called ready entry captain,
62
or she would steal a senior first officer upgrade position.
63
The senior first officer has been loyal to his company for many years
64
and gets swooped away from his upgrade position by a Ryanair captain, for example, who has fewer hours and fewer years of experience.
65
How is that fair?
66
It's not.
67
That's why the seniority list is important and the only way to keep it fair for everybody.
68
You can't choose the plane you want to fly.
69
Now I get this a lot.
70
Hey Joe, I want to fly the 747 like you when I become a pilot.
71
I always respond, I'm happy to hear that you have a vision and motivation,
72
but the 747 operators have become rare and what plane you'll fly is not for you to decide.
73
As a finished flight student, you have little to no decision power on which type of aircraft you will fly in the future.
74
The airline you'll be hired at will decide for you which aircraft you'll fly.
75
Even if you are flying for an airline like the great German Lufthansa, which has an array of airplanes in their fleet,
76
the airline will decide which plane you'll get rated on.
77
It is a matter of pilot demand on the type of aircraft.
78
Now the only time you can really sort of decide
79
is when you pass the assessment at an all-boeing operator
80
and the other one is an all-airbus operator like southwestern jet blue
81
or rhino and easyjet if you are an airbus
82
or boeing fan you can then choose either way also flying long haul
83
or short haul what the airline needs they will use you for it also
84
when you upgrade to captain you may switch from long haul to short haul or from Airbus to Boeing.
85
Lufthansa again is a great example for that.
86
So don't say, I just want to fly an Airbus. Be flexible.
87
You can't decide where you want to fly to.
88
Another one I get a lot, once I fly for an airline, I only want to do the day flights and fly to the favorite holiday destinations where we have longer layovers.
89
I'm sorry to say, but it doesn't work like that.
90
You'll fly to the destinations your airline is operating to, yes you may request certain flights and destinations within the network of your airline,
91
but if you want to fly to Hawaii as a low-cost carrier pilot in Europe, it ain't gonna happen.
92
A good example on my side, I have always wanted to fly to Australia.
93
Cargolux has a few flights there as we transport to the Formula One cars for the race in Melbourne.
94
I always request it but i have 80 co-pilots ahead of me with higher seniority
95
and if one of them bids on
96
that flight it's theirs i mentioned how important seniority is right
97
vacation planning is dependent on airline i want vacation days on christmas new year's easter
98
and of course every year during summer No, that is not going to happen.
99
As a rookie FO, you are flying on all of these dates.
100
Vacation days are yet again allocated based on your seniority.
101
So the longer you are in the company, basically the more loyal you have been to the airline,
102
the higher your chances are that you get vacation during those highly requested days.
103
Every airline is different.
104
Yes, that is very much the case.
105
Well, all airlines have the same goal of being profitable, reliable and a safe airline.
106
However, every airline has a different goal or vision.
107
Lufthansa, again as an example, caters very much towards their business customers offering great service in first
108
and business class with flights to the big hubs around the world.
109
Their sister company Eurowings, on the other hand, focuses on holiday charter flights, domestic flights and cheap long-haul flights.
110
Two very different products.
111
To give you a little bit more examples, low-cost carriers, for example, sell a cheap and cheerful product.
112
DHL mainly transports mail.
113
NetJets caters to millionaires.
114
Every airline has a different interest, so you need to decide which of them aligns with your personality, lifestyle and wishes.
115
Which one of them would make you proud to work for such and such airline?
116
What's their reputation?
117
Etc. Dramatic pay differences between the US and Europe.
118
Now this was a big surprise to me when I started out as a pilot.
119
There can be drastic pay differences between airlines within the same country.
120
For example, two captains flying the same aircraft, having the same amount of experience
121
and flying the same amount of hours every month can have a net pay difference up to 2,000 euros.
122
If you take it even a step further and compare European pilot salaries to the US, it gets even worse.
123
A mate of mine flies for a well-known airline in the States and in his first year as a first officer,
124
he made triple the money that I made after being in the company for six years.
125
Does he fly more than I do?
126
No, but he has far higher fixed costs than I do.
127
Health insurance, 401k, loss of license insurance, and much more needs to be paid from his salary.
128
Good European airlines take care of most of these costs.
129
So yes, he makes much more than I do, but the living costs in the States have skyrocketed over the last 20 years.
130
The same goes for European pilots who decide to fly in the Middle East or Asia.
131
Yes, the money is great, but what good is all the money if you can't step outside of your house during summer time?
132
Most of them come back after a few years.
133
I have seen it so many times.
134
So the grass isn't always greener on the other side,
135
but where you go is your decision and and then you have to take 100% responsibility for your actions.
136
Some airlines have a union while others don't.
137
Most airlines, as mentioned before, have the common goal of being profitable.
138
But some airlines, especially their management, couldn't care less about their pilots.
139
As long as the job gets done and money has been made, it sounds harsh, but some CEOs have publicly stated
140
that pilots don't work hard and that they'll be happy if AI replaces their position.
141
But are they hard worked?
142
No. These 900 hours a year
143
or 18 hours a week on average you know likely to generate fatigue no
144
that being said if you don't fight for contract rights for instance
145
that no ready entry captain can take away your seniority position or
146
that you lose the hotel privileges as management decides it's good
147
enough for you to sleep at a noisy airport hotel
148
or your travel benefits get taken away
149
or the company doesn't increase your salary due to inflation
150
or just being up to industry standards etc your best option
151
to ensure you the quality of your job is to join
152
a pilot's union sadly there are many airlines out there
153
that don't allow pilots to form a union they are the
154
prime example of what management can do to make it more
155
and more unattractive to work for that airline the result is high fluctuation of pilots and a miserable cockpit atmosphere.
156
If you can choose, go for the airline where the pilots are backed by a union.
157
I obviously hope I never have to see you in your uniform, wearing a high-reflective vest, walking through an airport terminal and blowing your strike whistle.
158
But sometimes it is necessary to stand united against management.
159
Consider having a plan B.
160
Yes, having a plan B is super important.
161
Nowadays there are many factors that could cause you to lose your job as a pilot.
162
Again, I am the prime example.
163
During my 8 years flying as a first officer with Air Berlin, I felt comfortable, had a safe job, good salary and slowly moved up the seniority list.
164
What could possibly go wrong?
165
Well, the airline went bankrupt and suddenly 1500 pilots were without a cockpit seat
166
and all these 1500 pilots instantly applied to the remaining German airlines.
167
So within two months after the bankruptcy announcement, I was unemployed just like that and eight years of seniority gone.
168
Luckily I immediately found a new job with an even better airline, but not all of my colleagues were that fortunate.
169
Until today there are still a few who aren't flying anymore
170
or were hired at an airline that also then went bankrupt a few months later due to COVID.
171
Another example, A friend of mine was diagnosed with sudden vertigo symptoms, meaning he had moments of vertigo that he couldn't predict or properly control.
172
He therefore lost his medical, hence his job, and never flew an airliner again.
173
So what I want you to do is think and act like a pilot early on.
174
When a pilot departs, they always plan with enough fuel to reach an alternate destination,
175
should the destination airport be closed because of bad weather or other reasons.
176
So why don't you plan ahead like a pilot for your life
177
and either get a master's degree or other job qualifications that you can keep as a backup in case things go sour.
178
It will also look great on your application CV that you are qualified to do more than just fly planes.
179
Please keep this in mind and thoroughly discuss this with your family or partner before jumping into flight school.
180
You're going to thank me later.
181
Loss of license paid by yourself.
182
Speaking of losing your medical, have you ever heard of an insurance called loss of license?
183
The loss of license insurance comes into action should you lose your license due to unforeseen medical reasons,
184
paying you a monthly salary for the remainder of your career depending on the chosen coverage.
185
Again, some airlines pay for basic insurance coverage, others don't.
186
So choose an airline that does or consider added monthly costs in your financial planning.
187
Not having any loss of license insurance at all is like departing without alternate fuel.
188
Flying can be challenging on your body.
189
You'll be surprised by the dry in the cockpit, jet lag, fatigue, noise, stress, airplane food, hotel beds, temperature changes,
190
schedule changes and many other factors that affect your body.
191
Believe me when I say I absolutely love my job
192
but I have underestimated how much flying has an impact on my body.
193
Now the factors I just mentioned are outside influences however there are also body related influences, especially during flight training.
194
Have you ever heard of the leans?
195
When you are in full IMC turning left, but your body is sensing that you're in a right turn.
196
This is an absolute eye-opener to any flight student, and you will experience that.
197
Now just because you don't get nauseous riding roller coasters doesn't mean you're invincible when flying.
198
Also turbulence hits differently in a training aircraft than in a heavy jet airliner.
199
So please approach these influences with respect.
200
Being a pilot is a team job, not a one-man show.
201
Now many people believe that once you've become a pilot you'll always be flying the plane
202
and the flight attendants will serve you food and drinks at the snip of a finger.
203
Just because you're wearing wearing a uniform doesn't make you a godlike figure.
204
Aviation is all about good teamwork and bringing the plane,
205
the crew, the passengers and or cargo safely from A to B.
206
This is made possible by good communication,
207
resource management, finding solutions, executing them and treating each other with the necessary respect.
208
Show-offs are not what airlines are looking for.
209
So good shout out to the topless pilots on Instagram.
210
idea how your abs are helping you during an engine failure.
211
Makes no sense to me.
212
Preparation is key.
213
Phew, if I would have known how much you can prepare nowadays before even setting foot into flight school,
214
my training days would have been a lot easier.
215
With today's resources you can read up on so much material, books, computers, flight simulators, youtube videos,
216
experience flights, etc. that once you are actively enrolling in flight school, you'll hear and see everything a second time around.
217
Again, I want you to already think like a pilot
218
because a good pilot is always learning and comes well prepared for their flights.
219
So how great would it be
220
if you didn't have to spend weeks on end finding the right answer on google
221
or pilot forums on how to become a pilot always with this anxiety is
222
that the correct answer because i found five other answers too wouldn't it be amazing
223
if there's one place
224
that has it all where you can find all the information on how to become a pilot
225
and be best prepared before going into flight school well this
226
place actually exists i took six months out of my life
227
to put together a video course to give you the best tips on how to prepare for flight school.
228
This five hour long video course with tons of material to print out will hit differently.
229
We also have regular zoom call meetings if you have further questions, so just try it out for 30 days.
230
If you don't like it, get your money back.
231
Spend a few bucks now to save a ton whilst you are in flight school.
232
You'll regret it if you don't use the chance.
233
Just saying.
234
You can't choose where you'll be based at.
235
As much as you can't choose the plane you want to fly, nor the destinations you'd like to fly to,
236
the hardest one will be that you can't really choose your home base.
237
Let me use my basis as an example.
238
I live in Munich and during my time with Eberlin I was based one year in Stuttgart, which is a two-hour drive, then five years in Dusseldorf,
239
which is a six-hour drive, and lastly in Munich, which was a 20-minute drive.
240
Lucky me.
241
Now, the company I fly for now doesn't have a base in Munich, but in Luxembourg.
242
So either I move to Luxembourg or accept the five-hour car commute multiple times a month.
243
Another example is a mate of mine who flies for Delta.
244
He lives in Miami, but his home base is at JFK, and if he turns captain, he most likely will be based out of Atlanta.
245
So, for every rotation, he has to deadhead to JFK or Atlanta in the future,
246
because ultimately he enjoys the weather in Miami more than at JFK.
247
Therefore many pilots either have a crash pad
248
or a preferred hotel at their designated home base for standby shifts or to get some rest before starting their duty.
249
All of these added costs are to be kept in mind.
250
So an airline can determine where you will be living in the future
251
or you have to be willing to do the commute.
252
And finally, the last thing that I want you to know is hard work pays off.
253
Be open-minded, be humble, and always ask questions.
254
I have realized over the 15 years that I've been a pilot that hard work,
255
dedication, being open-minded and always eager to learn something new will always pay out in your pilot career.
256
The aviation industry is constantly evolving and you'll have many aha moments along the way.
257
By regular reading up in your manuals and sharing an interest in your plane and airline, you'll make it so much easier for yourself.
258
And some final key advice.
259
Stay humble, stay professional, stay respectful and whatever you do, don't get cocky.
260
No pilot likes to fly with those colleagues.
261
You'll see.
262
Thank me later.
263
This brings us to the end of our list.
264
Now, I do want to say this list may have killed your motivation a little in wanting to become a pilot,
265
especially the facts about the home base and that you can't choose the plane you want to fly.
266
But it is super important to me that I am honest with you about these, should you consider becoming a pilot.
267
I can't emphasize this enough.
268
I I absolutely love my job, I even made a whole video about the top 10 things on why you should become a pilot,
269
but a lot of it depends on which airline you fly for.
270
Any happy pilot will agree with me on that.
271
So please share your thoughts on this list in the comments section.
272
I'm looking forward to seeing what you'd like others to know before diving into flight school.
273
And on that bombshell, here's your checklist for today subscribe to my channel, check, activate the notification bell, check, follow my Instagram account,
274
check, perform a touch and go at my website, check, and don't forget, a good pilot is always learning, wishing you all the best, your Captain Joe.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
