Their taxi drivers?

No way.

They're commercial airline pilots, though they still get to taxi on the runway.

Pilots have to be experienced, follow strict requirements, and still it takes them ages to take the captaincy.

These professionals are bound to have some exciting secrets, and they dio number one.

The captain has a lot of authority.

As soon as the Plains doors air locked, the captain has the power to give orders, arrest people and even write fines if needed.

If a passenger is making a scene in the jetway, the pilot has the right to prohibit them from going on board and can take off without the troublemaker.

Two pilots are proud of their landing technique.

A lot of in flight procedures.

Our computer assisted these days.

That's why pilots appreciate landing so much.

Those air, almost completely human, operated and require a lot of skills.

Ever heard them saying, If you want a compliment, your pilot tell them how smooth the landing was.

Well, that's true.

Three They can on Lee fly one type of aircraft at a time.

In most countries, pilots are certified to fly a specific airplane model, and they have extensive training exactly on this model.

If they want to get a license to command a different plane type, they have to go through additional training.

It typically last for about 2 to 3 months and includes theory, mock up flights and simulator training.

Four.

Their commutes are spectacular.

If a pilot has a possibility to catch flights connecting them to the airline's base airport, they can live literally anywhere in the country.

But the drawbacks can be impressive.

First, such long commutes take up tons of pilots unpaid time.

Second, every time they have to look for free seats, which are usually on Lee available on crack of dawn flights.

If a suitable flight is completely booked, a pilot will be simply left behind.

That's why they often have to leave home.

The day before their scheduled flight, lots of pilots move closer to the base airport and simply drive to work.

Fine.

They might let you look around.

If you're terrified of flying, your pilot might let you sneak a peek into the cockpit to distract you and make you feel better.

About 90% of pilots say they wouldn't normally say no to an adult passenger or a kid asking for a lightning quick room tour.

Six.

The autopilot can't replace violence.

Another widespread myth is that once the plane takes off, pilots can sit back and enjoy the ride.

The autopilot will do its job during the flight.

There can be communications issues, brute changes, navigational problems.

Pilots always have some task at hand.

For example, monitoring fuel, burn, watching for other planes and whatnot, especially what not boy, I had a whole day of what not the other day.

Even though pilots don't have their hands on the wheel is often as before, they're still in control of everything that's happening with the blame.

Seven.

Education is expensive.

Becoming a commercial airline pilot will cost you thousands of dollars.

Whether it is 60,000 or $100,000 depends on the flight school where you train and the type of your training.

Hours of flight experience also cost a fortune, and you need a lot of them in general.

To get a commercial pilot certificate, you need at least 250 flight hours under your belt, But some airlines don't hire pilots without 1500 to 4000 hours of flight experience.

A.

They can fly for free, but it doesn't mean that they can fly anywhere they want at any convenient time.

Ah, Pilot has the same benefits as anyone else working for the airlines.

Just like other employees, they have to wait for a standby, which means an available seat on the needed flight.

Most pilots don't want their vacation to rely on such an unpredictable situation and pay for their tickets.

Nine pilots have a lot of exams every 12 months.

Pilots have to complete something like a driving test on Lee in an airplane every year or half a year, depending on their age, pilots have to pass a medical examination every six months.

Pilots have their emergency procedures.

Simulator assessment.

Besides those, there is also technical tastic, aviation security and dangerous goods, examination, training and so on.

If the pilot fails any of these, they get removed from their flight duties.

10 CU pilots are just as important.

There's a misleading belief that co pilots are either trainees or subordinates that do nothing but wait for the captain to give them orders.

This opinion couldn't be further from the truth.

Co pilots are fully qualified professionals who can easily fly the plane.

Their job title isn't about skills.

It's about seniority.

Pilots and co pilots usually take turns.

If one of them flies the plane, for example, to Singapore.

The other will fly it back to Sydney.

11 pilots and co pilots have different meals.

The reason for this precaution is very simple.

Imagine both pilots eating the same dish and getting food poisoning.

In this case, neither of them will be able to control the plane if they still want to have the same dish and won't agree to have anything else.

There's a safety net.

Pilots have their meals at a different time.

If one pilot ate the dish and still feels okay several hours later, the other pilot can brave.

Their meal is well.

It's also much safer to fly the plane when one of the pilots is ready for action.

Well, there's no cargo compartment underneath the plane.

After watching different action films, many passengers imagine that at any moment there pilot might open a secret hatch in the floor and go check the cargo compartment.

In reality, airplanes don't have extra layers filled with bags, suitcases and pet carriers, even if there are some accessible alcoves under the flight deck or cabin there too tiny to walk inside freely.

13.

They're mostly as clueless and airports as you are.

If you see a pilot walking in front of you at the airport, don't even bother asking them for directions to your gate bathroom or the cheapest coffee shop.

Unless it's their base.

Airport pilots know little about places they fly through.

If you need information, better ask an airport staff member.

14.

It can be a bit boring in the cockpit.

Most brand name airlines prohibit their pilots from taking to the cockpit anything that can entertain them during the flight.

No reading magazines and books are doing a jigsaw puzzle pretty much anything that can potentially distract pilots from controlling the plane.

And even though experts recommend listening to music when you fly, it's not about pilots.

They have to stay in touch with ground controllers all the time.

The only thing they're legally allowed to do to pass the time is to talk with each other and the rest of the flight crew.

15 Pilots ignore turbulence.

They often just shake their heads, listing passengers exaggerating the danger they were in during particularly severe turbulence.

Let's know that there's a thing way more dangerous than any turbulence.

It's an updraft that's a big air mass part of a storm or some other weather phenomenon moving upward.

Pilots don't see updrafts on their radars at night.

And when a plane hits one, it's like driving over a huge speed bump at 500 miles per hour.

An updraft is also extremely treacherous because it can push an aircraft upward too dangerous Altitudes 16.

They're often exhausted, lots of airlines air implementing new rules that could allow pilots to rest more.

But it's often still not enough.

Some pilots admit that they don't even have time to get some food between their flights, let alone sleep.
