Nice video for those who have'nt seen it.

Hope it works

 

[11thHour]

Loved it, thanks for posting.

 

[WSurf]

That was cool! But the dude needs to get some Boxers!!! The tighty whites have long been gone!!!

Loved the video, cool that he made that for his daughter!!

 

[johndt]

Awesome. It does make you remember how cool this job can be.

Remember this is from a real airline flying for real wages that looks like it has good lines to places where you can actually have time to do something other than rush to the hotel room and do stuff other than go to dennys.

If I could only make Klammath Falls look so glorious......

good vid.

 

[Vicman]

hah!

now i can forward this to my chick as proof that overnights are not crazy sex ravaged nights out with the groupie!

great video by the way!

 

[Tantrum]

Hey, that's just like my 3 day trips... I just have about 14 more legs, no crew meals, shorter overnights, and much less sightseeing. Although, I have heard Paris kinda smells, so it's kinda like overnighting in Augusta, GA...right?

 

[Blucher]

Sweet video. Thanks for posting it. Someone ought to do a regional version of that. Preferably with a VLD overnight thrown in the mix!

I'd make one, but it would be really boring, since all it would consist of is bouncing between Albany and Buffalo, over and over and over again. And Yes, AdamKooper, there's a Denny's right next to our BUF hotel!


Actually, it would be a video of me surfing FlightInfo, since there's nothing left for me but reserve duty anymore since the latest downsizing.

P.S. -- I liked the video. I wish it were closer to the reality of my airline job thus far, but it was still fun to watch. Paris is a blast.

 

[AV8700]

Does anyone still have the KLM videos? I have done a search and can't find them.

 

[AdamKooper]

An Amsterdam overnight would be great. You could check in the hotel room then go get a hooker, and I Ithought the free porn in MGM was a treat.

 

[AMANSWORLD]

very nicely done and might I say very acurate.

 

[81Horse]

Great video. Very talented filmmaker (so he's got that goin' for him).

 

[livinadream]

That was a great video, someone should really do a regional version of that. Add some 50 cent, a shabby hotel, a Florence overnight, some oat sodas from the gas station...and Shoney's....bam, a 3 day at the regionals....word.

Bitter, party of one. Your table is ready. Just kiddin' man.

Nice video! I was shocked though - I thought all you guys heard was the Top Gun theme in your head. I didn't know U2 was on the playlist.

We'll forgive him for not turning off his portable electronic device below 10,000 feet.

 

[Prop2Jet]

Hence why I am in this awesome business no matter how crappy it becomes! I love this job!!!!

 

[Fly2Scuba]

Warning

I'm just waiting for some major tool to come on here and give us all a serious lecture on how video shouldn't be running while flying or performing duties, FAR violations, yadda, yadda, yadda. If anyone is seriously contemplating this then I have a serious message to you. You sick, stick up your a$$, tool basterd. It's happened in previous posts.

Funny I just posted that link last night on this thread: http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=72581&page=4

 

[washout]

great, 3 days down.... only 15 more to go!

 

[Crash Pad]

I tell ya overnights like this are waisted on the old timers. Give that same trip to two great lakes pilots and then you would have something worth watching.

 

[Blucher]

For your own good

Actually, I'd say it's in everybody's best interest that those trips go to "the old timers." Although I suppose if it were the young whipper-snappers doing those trips we'd have a much higher turnover rate, due to....ah...lapses in judgement.

Nice. My favorite part is when the fast rock music is playing while they are leisurely leaning against the counter reading the weather packet. Now that's excitement!

 

[Crzipilot]

Anyone know where this video went?? Seems it's off the tube site??? anyone anyone???

 

[Parrot_Head_Fly]

gone

Its gone, why? I wanted to show a friend, anyone know where its at?

Thanks

 

[Flyingtoohigh]

Link is dead from the hosting site.

I can host it if somebody would like to send a copy of the original file to me. If so, shoot me a PM.

 

[norskman2]

bump_

 

[PapaGiorgio]

The link was originally emailed to me...should have tried to save it to a file or something. Maybe it can be googled and found somewhere else. I'm sure it has to be floating around somewhere. I need to watch it to keep me motivated.

A lot of the guys and gals at AA are talking about it. I am sure it got back to management because some rat snitched him out. All of the people I talked too love it. But, I am sure there is that one person.........
