Pilot Blog | Why did I quit the commercial Pilot career

Parle france 🇫🇷 siltuple parle france russkie

I'm a 13 year old avgeek, I remember watching you back in august of last year because I liked to see what pilots did and I wasn't in the learning stage of aviation until a few days later. Sad to see you quit such an impressive career for an unwanted war in Ukraine. May you and your family prosper and I hope to see you talk about aviation more despite.

Stay strong brother. Slavs Ukraini 🇺🇦

Denys, are the Ukrainian flight regulations a legacy of the Soviet era and model the Russian pilot aviation practices?

Deny's I was taught to throttle down once the turn completes on final, unless there are cross winds. At the time I was working on my private pilots license at a very windy place adjacent to the Travis airforce base in California. I often had to crab all the way down under gusty conditions. It was an exceptional lesson to have crosswinds, where in many places the calm air offers no challenge. Enjoyed your pilot log. ❤

You could move to UK, you are pretty fluent in English

Sir we understand how unbearable it becomes when one has suppress their emotion and freedom of speech , being who we are and still doing our job is not less than a miracle. I know very well why you choose to leave your job . # authentic human

No one will ever hire you thanks to your channel about the war and hate of others!

You inspired me so much

Косит под американца но акцент выдает увы (

We here in the USA ,will get you into an f-16.

Кто понял жизнь работу бросил😂

Flying an aircraft is the best job in the world, working for an airline is the worst.

I watch you all the time🎉 I want you to return to be a pilot again😢❤❤❤❤ denys

Hi, I am going to fly soon, but I can't stop panic because I'm afraid to fly and I can't do anything about it. I have a headache and break out in a cold sweat

will anyone be watching your content when the war is over?

100% with you, Denys! same story, less subscribers 😂 all the best to you!

Bravo, Danys, you are doing a great job, you are the "Go to" person for real info on the Ruzzzians.

Maybe Denys you have understood that commercial aviation is behind you for Now because you simply have other priority. Like to have the time to make the video daily to give people informations about the war in Ukraini. You make an incredible work And help so many people including me to understand what s going on. You are vital to give us the truth and to underline all the horror the Kremlin is capable of. Thanks again Denys :) Life is full of surprise

Yes, follow your passion!

I am 39 working in aviation 20 years. I originally planned to fly, however after gaining a job with my first airline, I quickly realised that flying was not as glamorous as it seemed. I looked at pilots like glorified bus drivers. I managed to get myself into college and worked my way up to VP Technical for a large leasing company. I was actually earning more money than pilots and engineers, despite not having an Aviation licence of any kind. But I was constantly stressed, had to take calls at stupid hours dealing with people all over the world. The company merged with another big leasing company and I took the opportunity to take a redundancy package. It was the best decision of my life. I feel healthy, think clearer and have built much closer relationships with my family. I was so focused on making money and moving up the ladder, I forgot what is really important. I think many of us become institutionalised and don’t think we can do stuff outside of aviation. Realistically, our aviation experience can be applied to many industries. We can always go back to it if things don’t work out elsewhere.

actually I am 38, got accepted to a local regional airliner(in ASIA), however am thinking of not joining in. Finished training- CPL through COVID, and did not get offer at that time. I got married, and expecting a child this month October. Found a stable office job to pay for everything including private loans that amounted during training. I asked myself the somber question of whether I wanted to be pilot for the LOVE of IT, or to PROVIDE for my Family, and the answer in my heart was the latter. So, I will be giving renouncing letter to the airliner prob. this month and focus on what I have and can provide for my family. Cannot leave what is secure for something insecure(min. pay OE training, exam, the airliner going through acqusition ,etc..)

Hello Denis. Do not you think of joining ATC?

I worked as a Flight Attendant for more than 10 years. Got laid off during Covid.

he is focused on ukraine front line instead of being a pilot of Qatar... 35 you can work any where in the world dennis!! I know you blocked me!!

Denys, this is a fantastic video! I think this video will be helpful for so many people who may want to change careers and are afraid to do so.

It is for the most part impossible to have a view of someone else's choices. Everyone should choose their way to happiness. And you can still do flying - just not a huge Boeing.

Thanks for your honesty. It is hard to go back to work for others after you work for yourself.

Man I really resonate and respect this guy. I’m 72. Earned private pilot at 19.
Still love small single Engine aircraft aviation.

I am mid 40s and I quit at 35....similar to yours. but I don't have license yet. it cost too much

Thanks for sharing your story and I know you will be okay.

As an experienced commercial pilot, how hard would it be to fly military fighter jets, say F16s...here in the States most commercial pilots are ex military...ex military pilots can make tons training foreign military pilots.

Making lots of $$ by just blogging 😂🤣🤡

I just found you looking for good analysis on the Korean crash that just happened. It was so good I subscribed. I now have even more respect for you. It takes a lot for someone to adapt to radical life changes and find a way to keep going and you have doe it. I am looking forward to see more of your channel

It is better to be unemployed then flying for Ukrainian army at present time.

Nice to hear pilots complaining about their jobs, not sleeping and messing up their life cycle. What about other professions conducting services at night? Doctors in ER and many others…

I don’t think you recognize your own talent, and the many years you have left to contribute to aviation.
I did not discover you until watching your videos of the crash in South Korea. You have a great talent for presentation, excellent knowledge and you don’t have an ego, something aviation needs. I spent 42 years as an airline pilot and my wish for you is to reconsider getting back into airline flying….it needs people like you right now.

Get X-plane 12 and download Level up 737 :D.. or ZIBO.

Airline flying is a real grind. I flew regional for 4 years in ATR-42 then was hired by major airfreight. I did that for 27 years. By age 55 I just wanted to retire but felt I needed to go to 60. Covid came along when I was 59. I had begun commuting from mountain state to Alaska. Everything was so screwed up with commercial commutes and my trips to Asia. I just retired a year early. No regrets. I fly my RV-8 and have a couple bird dogs. I take care of my land, hike and hunt and flyfish. Eat much healthier food. Go to bed at 2100and wake at 0500. No more sleep deprivation and jet lag. 😂

If I had the choice, I would choose to be on the ground in a beautiful spot, as you are here, with man-made aviation occasionally overhead and with the original aviators, birds, doing flyovers and ground stops. I’ve spent many a day in field watching geese, crows, swans, ducks and starlings. At best, we imitate what they naturally do. Nice work on this channel.

❤️

Wow, just ran across this. To me it is sad. Doesn’t it destroy credibility that allows the channels? Just my opinion but seems just like Mentour Pilot the end of the right to make the videos.

My bro retired from teaching....learners kept trying to kill him.

Think long and hard before investing to become a pilot, it really s*cks in a lot of ways.

I had logged many hours and different ratings mainly GA. Many crashes during my career. Not me but others. Flying is fun but no margin of error especially at high speeds. I enjoy your channel.

Can Ukraine call you up to fly for the military? I sure hope not. I don't blame you for quitting.

Should have kept flying

I hope you can fly some day again.
