00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,000

Thanks for having me man.
Dude, so I so our Buddy Guy
6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,000
Levy, I saw you on his Instagram
story, you know that he was,
7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,520
that he had just either trained
with you or adjusted you.
8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,080
And I went to your Instagram
page and I was like, this guy
9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,440
looks so fucking cool.
I got, I want to do a podcast
10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,360
with him.
So I hit up, so I hit up guy and
11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,040
I'm like, yo, who's who's that
dude?
12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,840
You know?
And then he was like, yeah, he's
13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,080
he's awesome.
You'd love him.
14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Let me set, let me set up the
introduction.
15
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:52,760
And you just you, dude, you
your, your, your life seems
16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,480
awesome, man.
It seems like it seems like
17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,520
you're pursuing all your
passions and you're kind of
18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,960
making them happen.
You want to tell us a little bit
19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,880
about who you are?
Yeah, man.
20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,319
Well, thank you for that.
It it's truly a blessing to be
21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,360
able to, you know, accomplish
and fulfill my dreams and live,
22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,480
you know, the the life that I've
been dreaming as a child.
23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,160
But yeah, no, I'm everybody.
My family are aviators, so it
24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,880
was kind of my blood to be a
pilot.
25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,600
It was just second nature to me
to do everything that has to do
26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,600
with flying and you know, going
through flight school and
27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,400
everything, it was just so like,
you know, when you have a smart
28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,640
person in class and you're like,
how do you understand everything
29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,960
so easily?
That's kind of like how I felt
30
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,560
in flight school.
Of course I had my challenges
31
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,000
and everything, but it was just
that one natural thing that I'm
32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,320
like, wow, this is like so cool
to be experiencing.
33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,440
And, you know, I never really
thought a bit about it in terms
34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,840
of, you know, like this is the
best job in the world.
35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,960
It was just something I was so
passionate about until I finally
36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,320
got in the airplane and, and
like I at this stage in my
37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,320
career now, I'm like, damn, this
is the best job in the world.
38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Like for me at least, you know,
and you know, that's, that's
39
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,720
basically how, why I can say
like at least career wise, you
40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,280
know, I'm, I'm, I'm living my
dream on that.
41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,759
So, but it, you know, I started
off when I was very little and
42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560
just seeing my dad leave like
for flights and things like
43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,280
that.
He back in the day in the early
44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,440
90s, he was able to take me in
the flight, take in an
45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,240
international airline that he
flew for.
46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
So that's when the real passion
like sunk in.
47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,200
I was like, what all these, what
all these buttons do?
48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,920
Like why is there so many
lights?
49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
And just like, you know,
aviation back then was just way
50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,400
different, way, way different
than what it is now.
51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,600
And yeah, how's that kind of
like, well, in terms of like
52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,240
technology, like my dad was
flying an airplane at the time
53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,680
where you needed 3 pilots in in
the in the cockpit.
54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120
So you needed a captain and a
first officer and a flight
55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,880
engineer.
Nowadays, there's no more flight
56
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,800
engineer.
So a lot of that stuff on that
57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,920
panel that the flight engineer
used to do, like switch
58
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,440
electrical components to
pneumatic air and where is it
59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,840
going?
Where's it coming from?
60
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,080
All that stuff now can be
handled with two pilots based on
61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,920
the design of the flight deck.
So it's, it's a little bit
62
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,880
different nowadays and the
technology is just absolutely
63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,520
insane with how airplanes
operate now and the redundant
64
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840
systems that they have.
It's it's really fascinating.
65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,920
I'm excited to hear all about
this stuff.
66
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,600
When did so your SO your dad?
Your dad is a commercial pilot
67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,680
international.
Yeah, he's Yep, Yep.
68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,440
He's still airline pilot.
Nice.
69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,760
OK, gotcha.
And what what did he say when
70
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,400
you decided to go into it?
Well, my dad first originally
71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440
was like, hey, Are you sure you
want to do this?
72
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Because this job you're a way a
lot from your family.
73
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,600
You're going to miss birthdays,
you're going to miss
74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Christmases, you're going to
miss a lot of these important
75
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,000
things.
And you, I just want you to have
76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320
all the details before you make
this decision.
77
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,120
He was like, Are you sure you
don't want to be like an
78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,760
engineer or something?
And I did, I tried, I tried to
79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,680
do engineering, but I always
wanted to be a pilot.
80
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,880
I tried engineering as a backup
just in case.
81
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,480
I didn't really like the
lifestyle of being a pilot,
82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,280
which I, yeah, there was no way
I was going to be like, it's
83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,160
very interesting, but being a
pilot I think is way better.
84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Totally, totally, totally.
What's the, what's the, what's
85
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,040
the schooling like?
I have a friend of mine that got
86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,079
AI, have a couple of friends
actually that got their pilot's
87
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,959
license, but I know there's
different degrees of licenses
88
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,680
and I know it's a fortune,
right?
89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Like, I mean, it's like, at
least it was my friend after
90
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,360
Kyle, after undergrad and his
master's, then he went back to
91
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,720
Chicago.
He's from Skokie and it took him
92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,320
like 2 1/2, three years because
you know, he's paying out of
93
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560
pocket and, and paying pay and
getting those flight hours
94
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,840
apparently like to rent those
little planes.
95
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,840
It was very expensive.
And he said he loves him more
96
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,120
than anything in the world.
But he was like, it's like, you
97
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,000
have to be committed to wanting
to do that because it takes time
98
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,560
and it takes a lot of money.
Yeah, yeah, you're 100% correct.
99
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,920
There's a couple ways you can go
about flight school.
100
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,920
You can go to a mom in pop
school.
101
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,640
You can go through a university.
In reality, the licenses don't
102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,760
take you that long.
If you go through a university,
103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,160
you're going to, you're going to
do your full four years and come
104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440
out with the bachelor's of like
aviation science.
105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,520
But it takes no, no, no, I went
to a mom and pop school at I did
106
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,680
it in about like 10-10 months.
To your point where you're
107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,000
saying is like you have to go
consistently because if you
108
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,880
don't then you start losing like
what you learned.
109
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,720
So if you only go once a week,
you can have to repeat that over
110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,440
and over and over again.
What might have taken you a week
111
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,920
to learn, now it's going to take
you two months to learn because
112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,760
you're not going so frequently.
And you know back then there
113
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,240
weren't as many aids financially
for flight school as there is
114
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,200
now.
And that is due to a lot of like
115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,560
the demand, especially you that,
you know, the industry needs
116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,240
right now of pilots.
So certain airlines have created
117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,000
like their own flight school
path program to their airline.
118
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,240
So they offer the financial loan
in the aspect of it out of, at
119
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,720
a, at a lower interest rate than
would be a, a regular personal
120
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,000
loan.
And that's made it a little bit
121
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,600
easier for people to be able to
start fly school.
122
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,120
But you know, before, like
before that, that started maybe
123
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,680
like 5-6 years ago.
Before that when I went to fly
124
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,760
school, there wasn't any of
that.
125
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,440
So your loan was at a personal
loan rate in that super high.
126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960
But but yeah, you know, like I
had a when I was growing up, I
127
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,640
did a lot of savings and, and I
was, you know, working since I
128
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,840
was like 1415 and I saved a lot
of money because I knew that
129
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,120
that's something that I wanted
to do.
130
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,560
My 2 main goals with saving
money was to go to fly school
131
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,040
and buy a house.
So every time I would save, I
132
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,440
dump it all in flight school and
continue.
133
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,800
And I was still working part
time.
134
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,880
I went to FIU for business
administration and I was doing
135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,280
my flight school at the same
time and I was working valet
136
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,640
parking.
So I was trying to pay
137
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,840
everything as I go.
All my savings went into flight
138
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,880
school.
I went from zero, started into
139
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,440
an airline, started saving
again, and then was finally able
140
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,160
to buy a house.
So I I was able to fulfill those
141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680
two objectives of of of my
savings so.
142
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Yeah, it's amazing.
Where'd you buy your house?
143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Where do you live?
Where's your house?
144
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960
It's how it's here in South
Florida.
145
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120
South Florida Cool.
Man, and I love it down here.
146
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,560
I grew up here and I just love
it.
147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,920
It's all my friends, family
primarily.
148
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400
Everybody's here.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
149
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
I've been, I've been in South
Florida for about 3 years now.
150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,480
I've always wanted growing up.
I, I, my, my, my dad is
151
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,320
originally from Miami Beach and
I always wanted, I always said
152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,600
going and we used to visit a
bunch.
153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,880
My grandparents still live
there.
154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,520
And I used to always say I got
to try it out and my wife and I
155
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,760
got married.
I was working remote and she
156
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,720
wasn't, she wasn't sure what
she's going to do with herself
157
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,200
yet.
She's a ultrasound tech now.
158
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,120
But we're like, you know, we can
go anywhere in the world.
159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,440
And we're both from New York and
we're like, let's just, let's
160
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,920
head to Florida.
You know, you just, you know,
161
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400
like right after a week after a
wedding, we just loaded up our
162
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,240
car with whatever clothes we had
and we just drove down and I
163
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,120
figured it out.
Damn spontaneous, I love that.
164
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Nice.
Yeah.
165
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,280
You know, it's not it's, I mean,
you know, I, we, it was, it was,
166
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,160
it was cool.
And I've already moved, you
167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,240
know, so like probably 5 or 6
different times in my life to
168
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,920
completely unknown places that,
you know, I knew that South
169
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,200
Florida was something that, you
know, is pretty, pretty
170
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,440
manageable as far as as far as
lifestyle, you know, it's I love
171
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,520
being down here.
So, so you were working that you
172
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,120
were working in school and what
you're saving is saving the
173
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,679
money that you were making at
this point.
174
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:39,320
And you started working at 14,
you said?
175
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,720
Yeah.
That's crazy.
176
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,080
That's crazy.
Did your did your, did your
177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,360
family encourage it?
Do you think you you said, you
178
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,720
know, you just knew that you had
to and like how are you so
179
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,560
driven at that age?
Man, that's a really good
180
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:55,520
question.
I, it was all like initiated by
181
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,200
me.
I was telling my parents like,
182
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,680
Hey, I want to work.
I want to make my own.
183
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,920
Like, I wanted to be as
independent as I could from as
184
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,840
young as I could.
And nothing that, you know, that
185
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,120
doesn't influence the, the, the
relationship with my parents or
186
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,520
anything.
They're always very supportive
187
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880
of, of what I would, you know,
try to do.
188
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600
But I always wanted to be like,
Hey, I don't really want to be
189
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080
using your money.
I want to make my own money, you
190
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,760
know, and, and then my first job
was working at the YMCA taking
191
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,840
care of like kids, other parents
want to go work out.
192
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,880
And you know, I made some really
good friendships there.
193
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,880
I actually met one of the first
initial personal trainers or the
194
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,240
person who helped me train
introduce me to fitness through
195
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,880
that and it and it all just like
went from there.
196
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,000
I went to work at a different
gym after that and then it all
197
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,920
and I ended up working for who
is now Tony Robbins personal
198
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,760
trainer.
Like things like that.
199
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,200
It's, it's just, you know, that
whole wanting to work, I've
200
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280
always had to like really great
work ethic.
201
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760
My parents were always like, no,
you need to focus on school And
202
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,080
and I of course I definitely
needed to, but I just always
203
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,960
thought I can handle both and
you know, I did.
204
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,040
But yeah, a lot of that, a lot
of that self was self driven.
205
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:10,160
To.
That's awesome.
206
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Start making money, yeah.
That's awesome.
207
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,680
Can I ask how many siblings you
have?
208
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,760
1.
Younger one sibling, younger
209
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,160
sister.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
210
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600
Did you?
So you, you feel like you're
211
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040
like the protective one or like,
you know, like you kind of had
212
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,880
to like be your own man and make
your own way?
213
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,080
Because that's how I kind of
like I'm the oldest too.
214
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,000
I mean, I'm the oldest at like
6, but I've always felt like as
215
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,320
an older, as an older sibling
also, I kind of felt that
216
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,320
similar guilt, although I
probably started feeling it a
217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,520
little like probably closer to
17 or 18, you know, like, hey,
218
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,880
like maybe everything I do
shouldn't be in my parents time,
219
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,680
you know, And you know, maybe I
maybe it's time to start kind of
220
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,520
building my own skill set and
kind of doing my own thing and
221
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,960
like, you know, really making my
own way.
222
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,840
But but I always felt that kind
of, you know, leadership or, you
223
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,880
know, sense of responsibility
just from being an older
224
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,480
sibling, you know?
Yeah, no, that's a, that's a
225
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,200
really great observation.
I never really felt it from a
226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,080
siblings perspective, just
because I knew that like, you
227
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,080
know, my, my parents would be
able to support my sister and I
228
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,280
in whatever education we wanted
to pursue or, or something like
229
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,840
that.
And, you know, having the
230
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,120
possibilities to live in the
United States and the amount of
231
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,120
possibilities that there is here
is, is something that I wasn't
232
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,680
really too much, I guess felt
pressured by to initiate my own
233
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,240
building of skill sets.
But yeah, you know, my sister,
234
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,480
my sister was the same.
She was like, hey, I I want to
235
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,160
start building my own skill set,
But she focused a lot more on
236
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,280
the education part.
She's in the in, in the health
237
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,320
industry.
So she she spent a lot of her
238
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,160
time studying and studying real
hard.
239
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,560
You know how that industry is
everybody that's just studying
240
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:52,240
night and day.
So, so yeah, man, I think, I
241
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,680
think it's a really good
observation, but it maybe I got
242
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,640
to give it some more thought and
see if that influenced.
243
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,440
The yeah, maybe, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
244
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,640
You never know what you
discover, you know, so you got
245
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,600
so you're super so so you're
into you're into flying, you're
246
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080
into fitness.
You started working out, you
247
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,160
know, you started, you started,
you know, I guess getting
248
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,560
introduced this at 1415, which
is probably one of the best
249
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,120
things you could do at that
point in your life.
250
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,720
I see that you fight.
I saw, I saw that you're when
251
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,160
when you're away from your black
belt.
252
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,160
Yes.
In which martial art?
253
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,080
It's actually in Krav Maga.
Nice.
254
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,880
The school is a mixed martial
arts school, but the main
255
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,640
self-defense that we learn is
Krav Maga.
256
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,040
Gotcha.
Yeah, I just started rolling
257
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,200
jujitsu a couple months ago.
Guy also, I did a podcast.
258
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,920
I did my podcast with Guy.
I told him that I wanted to
259
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,240
start because I heard that he
did MMA and he's like, dude, you
260
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,960
got to come to where I work.
They have an awesome gym and the
261
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,640
coaches there are awesome.
And I was, you know, I mean,
262
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,440
I'm, I'm almost 30, you know, to
start, to start this for the
263
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,480
first time and you're almost 30
was, was, was pretty terrifying,
264
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,240
but it was the best thing in the
entire world, man.
265
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Like just just getting that
adrenaline and kind of like
266
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,360
facing that, you know, a, that
fear of confrontation, but also
267
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,480
kind of learning in real time
how to slow everything down and
268
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120
to just, you know, think about
your individual body parts and
269
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,560
components and, and let's, and
after doing that, I've kind of
270
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,560
felt that I've had a much easier
time in the last couple of
271
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,720
months, even with sales and work
and business and even my own
272
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,480
personal life, like my
relationship with my wife and
273
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,480
like my kids.
You kind of look for your own
274
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,880
ways to solve issues because
you're spending so much time
275
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,440
with no one there to help you
except for yourself, you know,
276
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,760
and, and, and this person that's
sitting on top of you that knows
277
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,320
way more than you do about
anything.
278
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,000
And you know, and it encourage
you, encourages you to, you
279
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,840
know, figure out how to, how to
ask questions and how to learn
280
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,440
and how to figure out, you know,
when you're in a tough spot,
281
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,520
tough spot and you're thinking
of quitting, you know, what else
282
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,040
can you do?
And it's kind of a mindset.
283
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,880
I feel like it translates over
to everything that you do, you
284
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,600
know?
I agree.
285
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,520
That was beautifully said man.
And it's just like you can
286
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,240
transition what you learn from
martial arts into real life.
287
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,960
Just like how you said, it
improves a lot of your ability
288
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,960
to think of being resourceful,
right?
289
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,080
Just like how you said, if
you're in a situation where
290
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,960
you're stuck, like I started jiu
jitsu as well and in, in, in a
291
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,600
separate gym.
And there's times where I'm
292
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,680
like, man, I don't know how to
get out of this.
293
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,680
If I just give up, what what's
going to come out of that?
294
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,160
But if you start thinking, you
slow down your breathing, you
295
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,360
slow down everything and you're
like, OK, I have a little bit of
296
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,680
time even though I'm super
tired, I'm exhausted.
297
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,920
Do I have about a second or two
to think, how can I get out of
298
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,320
this?
Even if it's just not probably
299
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,440
not the right way to do it, you
still do it.
300
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,440
And that is teaching you, hey,
still try attempt to do
301
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,040
something because you never know
what else it can lead you to.
302
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,200
Maybe you, maybe that movement
gets that person out of the
303
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
perfect situation to get you in
some sort of choke or
304
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,920
everything.
Now you have space, right?
305
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,760
And that little amount of space
is enough for you to throw the
306
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,000
other person off or get out.
And, and, and it's just like
307
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,280
that, like mentally every day we
go through things that we're
308
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,080
constantly thinking about.
We're overloaded with
309
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,280
information daily.
And then we just get to a point
310
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,520
where we're like, oh shit, I
can't even think straight right
311
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,840
now for something that it really
matters.
312
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,600
And that's when you really have
to focus and be like, right,
313
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,320
this does matter.
And that's the same situation
314
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,400
when you're like pinned down,
how do I get out mentally?
315
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,000
It's the same thing, you know
what I'm saying?
316
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,080
So it teaches you that.
And I think it's, I think it's
317
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,760
fantastic.
That's what I love about martial
318
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,120
arts.
Yeah, yeah.
319
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,480
And I think that, I think that
one of the points you just said,
320
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,920
I think that is really, really
valuable is when you're stuck to
321
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,600
give yourself a second to
breathe and to not like like
322
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,720
that second of like, that's like
one thing that someone was
323
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,160
teaching me the other day.
I went back, I went back and I,
324
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,880
I, I had like you were talking
even about like the flight
325
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,720
school have muscle memory.
And the more time you spend
326
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,600
practicing, the more that you
know it, it really becomes
327
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,760
ingrained in you.
I've done this, I've done
328
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,240
jujitsu for like a month and
change.
329
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,440
And I went on a two week break,
which is the worst thing to do.
330
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,360
I come back and I just felt like
my entire body was just out of
331
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,280
sorts, right?
And I was totally disconnected.
332
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,480
And I'm talking, you know, I'm
asking a guy that's obviously,
333
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,920
you know, phenomenal, you know,
way better than I am.
334
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,520
And, you know, we're rolling and
he goes, So what are you going
335
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,640
to, you know, what can I do?
He's like, dude, you're rushing
336
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,800
everything.
He's like one step at a time.
337
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,040
There's no rush if you're in a
fight, like think just like, you
338
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,120
know, like be aware, like, you
know, like I your instinct is
339
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,040
like to like flood your brain,
you know, just to like rush at
340
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,960
something or to like, you know,
move as fast as you can.
341
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,320
And I've actually noticed that
that's with a lot of things I
342
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,800
noticed also, I'm a huge music
fan, right?
343
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,320
And some of the best singers and
some of the best covers, some of
344
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,040
the best songs that I've heard
performed are just done slowly.
345
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,319
And then, and then when
someone's nervous, I don't know
346
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,280
if you're, you know, when
someone's nervous, they speed up
347
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,560
what they're saying, they talk
faster, They, they, they, they
348
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,760
sing faster, they play faster.
There's something to be said
349
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,640
about the art of just slowing
everything down.
350
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,119
And that's a breathing helps, I
guess.
351
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,800
But you know, but I, but if you
can, you know, when you start
352
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359
implementing that into one part
of your life, like with training
353
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,120
or rolling, and then you and you
know, and then you move on and
354
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,160
you go back to, you know, your
house and you got to, again,
355
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,680
this happened to me all the
time.
356
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,120
I got work calls from upset
customers.
357
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:39,640
I sell medical equipment, right?
And if they're upset, you know,
358
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,200
my initial reaction is to panic
like, and I like, dude, what are
359
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,440
you panicking for?
They're probably just as nervous
360
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840
to be confronting you as you
are, as you are dealing with
361
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,320
them.
Just take a breath, have a
362
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,120
conversation with them, show
them you understand what they're
363
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:55,720
thinking, show them understand
where they're coming from and
364
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,800
see how you go work it out.
And like, and, and every single
365
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,680
time I've done that since then,
and this is, you know, just
366
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,800
something that I've learned from
rolling, you know, every single
367
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,240
time I've done that since then,
it's really, really changed the
368
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,240
dynamic of my, you know, you
know, in terms of my ability to
369
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,280
be a salesman and like, you
know, a businessman.
370
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,040
Yeah.
And don't, don't, don't you find
371
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,680
that in that moment where you
are in that situation, it
372
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,320
actually instead of becoming
more stressful, it becomes more
373
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,960
enjoyable because you have a
different outlook on it, right?
374
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,600
I think, I think if you can
enjoy those certain times in
375
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,160
your job, it makes the quality
of time in your job a whole lot
376
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,520
better.
Would you, would you agree with
377
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,840
that or?
Yeah, for sure, man.
378
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,360
I mean, imagine, I mean, if your
entire job is, you know, afraid
379
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,200
to answer the phone because you
don't want that, you don't know
380
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,120
the other person on the other
end of the phone is going to be
381
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,520
saying to you, you know, that's
a pretty miserable way to live.
382
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,720
If you take, if you answer that,
if you answer the phone like
383
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160
you're collaborating with
someone, it's a totally
384
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,120
different experience, you know,
and, and as I go with everything
385
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:00,440
in life, you know, like even
most conflicts I've realized are
386
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,840
just an exam are just people
trying to emphasize their points
387
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,000
and feel like they're not heard.
Like that's like 95% of the
388
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,640
conflicts that out that out, you
know, personal business,
389
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,600
whatever.
It's like if you, I've noticed
390
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,240
that if I just tell people like,
if I'm able to repeat to them
391
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,080
what their concern is and say, I
totally understand where you're
392
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,920
coming from.
And I'm, you know, and, and
393
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,200
this, this and this, and here's
where I'm coming from.
394
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,480
That's why, that's why, you
know, that's why I said what I
395
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,240
said or I did what I did.
And I'm sorry about the
396
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,240
miscommunication.
There's something there.
397
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,000
There's nothing there to argue
with, you know, like, and then
398
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240
it just turns into, and then it
just turns into collaboration.
399
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,040
I think it's awesome.
So tell me dude, a little bit
400
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,920
about so so you so you finished
flight school and you've been
401
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,840
flying for how how long you been
flying for now?
402
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,440
Let's see, eight years now,
2014.
403
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,720
And do you and do you have a
commercial license?
404
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,120
Do you have a what kind of?
What kind of planes do you fly?
405
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,360
Yeah.
So I have what's called an
406
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,960
airline transport pilot license,
and that's basically after your
407
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:03,120
commercial and you have built
enough hours to qualify for this
408
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:07,320
license, you can fly for
airlines pretty much.
409
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:13,160
So I fly, yeah, I fly for
American Airlines and I am on
410
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,040
the Boeing 737.
No way, really.
411
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,520
Yeah, 737 is international.
That's the one that they take
412
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,240
internationally.
We so we do some international.
413
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,320
So our route, my routes
primarily are Caribbean, South
414
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480
America and Central America.
South America we don't go so
415
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,200
deep.
The lowest or the most S that we
416
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,880
go is probably like Keto or
Guayaquil in Ecuador, but we do
417
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,800
a lot of Colombia, we do a lot
of Central America like
418
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama,
Honduras, El Salvador.
419
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,000
On the Caribbean side, we go to
almost every island that there
420
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
is in the Caribbean.
And then we do a lot of domestic
421
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,840
stuff.
That plane carries about 172
422
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,200
passengers depending on the
configuration that we have.
423
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,640
We have the Ng and also the Max,
the 737 Max, so either 1, the
424
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,680
Max has a little bit more range
and it's also a lot more fuel
425
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,200
efficient.
So most of the time that we go
426
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:17,480
South towards Ecuador, we
normally take the Max and the
427
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,880
next step up after that, the one
that goes like really Far East
428
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,960
or West is you're looking at the
Boeing 777 or the 787 that's on
429
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,880
the Boeing side.
We, our airline only has those
430
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,880
in terms of like what we call
wide body aircraft, but Airbus
431
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
also has what's called wide body
aircraft and you'll see a lot of
432
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,200
them being used by like Delta
and United as well and they're
433
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,120
the Airbus A-350, the Airbus
A330.
434
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Those are wide body aircraft too
that you know do that long range
435
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,520
kind of flying as well.
Right, right, right.
436
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,360
But so what's the, what's the
new Dreamliner like?
437
00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:01,560
I just flew to Israel and to
Amsterdam and, and I mean
438
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,040
obvious, listen, I, I, I, I get
a little nervous flying.
439
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,360
I've obviously noticed that the
bigger plane you fly, the less,
440
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:12,320
the, the, the less turbulence
that you experience.
441
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,920
But I've also heard the
turbulence is, is not
442
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,880
necessarily a bad thing.
I, I, my friend that was the
443
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,320
pilot was telling me that a lot
of times pilots fly into
444
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,920
turbulence, into turbulence on
purpose.
445
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Is that true?
I don't know if that's true that
446
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,920
we fly to turbulence and
purpose.
447
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,880
I mean, honestly, I'd rather I'd
rather not.
448
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,720
I'm trying, I'm trying to have
smooth air for the comfort of
449
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,120
everyone, right.
But there are times where it's
450
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,640
pretty much like you are unable
because the air is so disrupted
451
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,000
that we're we're flying in.
You got to remember like up at
452
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,960
altitude, there are there's a
lot of things that affect air in
453
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,320
the transition of a flight.
So when you take off, you're
454
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,240
going.
Through what does?
455
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,240
What effects?
It a lot of things, so wind
456
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,240
effects it pressure effects it
fronts, you know, we see there a
457
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,440
low pressure area or high
pressure area, cold fronts, warm
458
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,520
fronts.
Then you have winds where the
459
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,640
winds coming from, if they're in
the winter, you have jet streams
460
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,400
like all of these things that
push air in different directions
461
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,960
as you're moving cause
turbulence.
462
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:21,720
So turbulence is literally just
the like, not smooth air flow
463
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,280
over the wings.
The air becomes turbulent, it
464
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,440
breaks up, it's in different
directions.
465
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,480
So what happens is over the
wings, the air is not smooth, it
466
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,800
just starts to kind of break
apart a little bit earlier than
467
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,320
than expected on, on a certain
part of the wing.
468
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,680
And what happens with that?
That's where you start feeling
469
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,280
like a little bit of like
shaking.
470
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,160
And you know, some sometimes
you'll feel like a like a kind
471
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,680
of like a big drop.
Those are like pockets of
472
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,520
turbulence that you might get.
But in reality, turbulence is
473
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,640
not, there's different
categories of turbulence.
474
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,560
You have light, moderate,
severe, severe and you know, you
475
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,560
obviously don't want to go
through severe, but if you're
476
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,560
going through a light
turbulence, that's not, you
477
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,400
know, that's nothing that bad.
Airplanes are designed to
478
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:11,080
sustain loads of extreme
turbulence and some, you know,
479
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,960
So what the scary feeling is the
acceleration your body's going
480
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,360
through from being in one
certain area, moving through
481
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:26,240
space to changing the direction
to dropping lower drop or, or
482
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,160
raising up or moving left to
right.
483
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,680
That doesn't feel good in the
body for some people.
484
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:32,800
And that's what's kind of scary,
right?
485
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,760
That sends a message to your
brain saying like, oh, shoot,
486
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,880
what's going on?
Like that's not what we were
487
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,600
feeling right now.
It's the same thing.
488
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Like, I don't know if you've
ever gotten in like go karting
489
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,640
or you gonna like in a really
fast car around a track, the
490
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,640
acceleration and the braking
doesn't, I mean, it doesn't make
491
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,240
you feel good initially.
There's so much difference of
492
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,040
acceleration.
It's almost kind of like the
493
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:01,080
same thing.
But my question to you is, why
494
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,760
do you think that it's better to
fly in bigger planes than in
495
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,040
smaller planes?
Is I've because to me that's
496
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,440
just a mental thing that people
create in their head, that the
497
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,720
bigger that the airplane is,
that the less turbulence they're
498
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,040
going to feel.
Is that?
499
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:18,720
Is that what you think?
Well, yeah, the so I I'm kind of
500
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,320
basing that on it.
So I have yeah, based on that
501
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,840
experience that.
So it's actually funny.
502
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000
So there's there's two, I guess
there's a couple of things that
503
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,120
I'm immediately thinking of,
right.
504
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,400
Number one is I've flown on a
private plane once before from
505
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:41,040
New York to Vegas and the, and
I've and we had a lot more
506
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,000
turbulence on that little plane
than, you know, than I've had,
507
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,640
for example, again, taking that
Dreamliner to, you know, across
508
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,120
the country, across, across the
ocean to Israel or whatever,
509
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:56,520
right.
On the other hand, I also know I
510
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,760
also have, I didn't know this
for a fact, but I kind of just
511
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,080
kind of put it together.
That temperature had a big has a
512
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,160
big impact because I know that
every time I fly back and forth
513
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,880
from South Florida, especially
in the summertime, the 10, you
514
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,280
know, as I guess the humidity
and the heat.
515
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,760
And also I feel like because the
heat in Florida is always almost
516
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,360
feels like it's always about to
like break.
517
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,120
It's always like building and
building and building.
518
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,880
And it doesn't completely break
until like winter again, I
519
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,680
guess, you know, until like
October, November.
520
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,240
But like when you're every
single day, the heat, the
521
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,840
humidity and the heat kind of
build up and build up and build
522
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,600
up.
And I think, and I guess that
523
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,520
causes an impact in the
environment, right?
524
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,640
Like or I guess in the air, but
I just assumed that the bigger
525
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,320
the plane, the more sturdy and
that even, you know, even though
526
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,960
the and I and I guess the more
weight there is, the less thrown
527
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,880
around it's going to get.
That's kind of what I figured.
528
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,160
Does the First of all, you're
100% correct about the
529
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,240
temperature it does affect.
So whenever you're getting into
530
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,600
warmer temperatures and there's
lower pressures, there is
531
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,960
instability of air, right?
Instability of air, meaning like
532
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,240
the air is just not staying, the
air starting to move up in
533
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,320
altitude.
Why?
534
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Because there's less pressure.
And whenever there's less
535
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,160
pressure, particles start to
move up.
536
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,320
And then when particles move up,
they start to lose the
537
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,120
temperature, The temperature
starts to drop.
538
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,280
And what happens is those
particles become a little bit
539
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,440
more dense again.
And then they go through the
540
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,400
cycle that they're going, moving
up and down in between
541
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,200
altitudes.
And that's how you start getting
542
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,120
like unstable air and the build
up of storms.
543
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,520
So imagine if you're if this
you're flying straight
544
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,760
horizontally, right?
You're flying straight and
545
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,200
you're about to pass this area
where there's low pressure and
546
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,400
this air is moving up and down
and you're moving horizontally.
547
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:56,080
So that air that you're moving
horizontally with is now
548
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,120
disrupted because you're now,
because you're now going through
549
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:01,360
an area of air moving up and
down.
550
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:04,640
It's unstable.
So that's one, that's just one
551
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,640
of the many reasons there could
be turbulence.
552
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,680
Let's say you're flying and that
flight that you were going from,
553
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,560
I don't know if it was New York
or Miami to Vegas.
554
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,560
As you're getting closer to
those mountains, air is
555
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,560
disrupted by those mountains,
right?
556
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,320
There's a lot of air flow that
comes from the northwest and
557
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,760
comes down and drops towards the
southeast.
558
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:30,200
If you have opposing winds for
that day for some reason that
559
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,200
are going against it, let's say
like a low, low, sorry, a warm
560
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,200
front is coming up and it's
hitting that high, high pressure
561
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,960
cold front that's coming in.
You have two pieces of massive
562
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,280
air colliding against each
other.
563
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,080
That air is not going to be
smooth.
564
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,640
It's just like opposing each
other.
565
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,640
It's just hitting each other
like that.
566
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,040
So now you're here coming along,
it's nice and smooth and then
567
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,280
bam, you get this like huge
shake on the airplane.
568
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,320
It's because the airflow was
disrupted.
569
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,800
So if you take it, you can't
really compare size of an
570
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,600
airplane in terms of like, I
took an airplane once through
571
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,920
this route and it was small and
I got a lot of turbulence.
572
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,320
And then I went the other route
and it was big.
573
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,480
I got no turbulence because
there's so many outside factors
574
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,480
that affect what makes an
airplane go through turbulence.
575
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,920
Because if you took that same
Dreamliner that you took to
576
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,400
Israel and you go to Vegas on
that same day, that's exact same
577
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,680
flight, you're going to feel the
same exact turbulence.
578
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Maybe, maybe it'll be the
different.
579
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,800
The feeling might be different.
Because yes, size and stability
580
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,920
does affect how much is felt by
the airplane.
581
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,640
But every airplane is built on
three different types of
582
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,160
stability.
You have longitudinal stability,
583
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,960
lateral stability, and vertical
stability.
584
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,440
That means that if the airplane
is flying along nice and smooth
585
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,240
and it gets disrupted, its
ability to return back to that
586
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,760
neutral position, that's what
airplanes are built on.
587
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640
There has to be a certain degree
for airplanes to come back to
588
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,280
neutral.
Without touching it.
589
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,720
It'll take some time, but
without touching, it'll come
590
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,800
back.
Obviously if you do manipulate
591
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,080
the controls and bring it back
to neutral earlier, it's
592
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,800
obviously better, but the
autopilot does that as well.
593
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,560
I never thought of air as like a
thing, you know, like, as like
594
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,760
an object, you know, and it's,
it's so cool to think about, you
595
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,680
know, because, because it's
true.
596
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,360
And, you know, and I, I mean,
and even just the difference, by
597
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,080
the way, and I'm sure you, I'm
sure you've experienced this as
598
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,440
you, as you travel, the
difference between the air in
599
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,960
different locations is just,
yeah, out of this world, dude.
600
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,480
I mean, I, I'm in my parents'
house right now in, you know,
601
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,440
about an hour north of Manhattan
and you know, and even though
602
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,840
it's hot, you know, like the air
in the mountains is just
603
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,560
completely, excuse me, different
air than, than in South Florida,
604
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,680
you know, and it's just a
different world.
605
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,880
And, you know, and I guess I
never really thought of it, but
606
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,520
it's a legitimate like medium.
Like it's a real, it's a real,
607
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,720
it's really, really cool.
Are you, are you nervous about
608
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,080
AI taking over all pilot jobs?
Because I feel like I I keep
609
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,200
you're not nervous.
No, I don't think so.
610
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,560
They actually just came out.
They were trying to do this
611
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,640
whole thing in Europe where
they're trying to size it down
612
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,560
to 1 pilot.
And to me, I think that's
613
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,480
completely stupid because
there's still a lot of things
614
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:25,360
that with AI and with technology
right now, you still cannot, you
615
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,520
still cannot do what 2 pilots
can do in the airplane.
616
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,200
Did you?
Break that down.
617
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Well, it kind of really depends.
I'm not quite sure exactly.
618
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,080
Well, first, in terms of you got
to think about this like you got
619
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,080
to think about the human aspect
and the instinct and perspective
620
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,440
on a situation versus a robot
just doing things based on what
621
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,880
it's programmed to do, right?
The robot, if something wrong
622
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,840
happens, the AI will, you know,
go through like, OK, if this is
623
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,320
wrong, then that's going to
happen if this is going to
624
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,080
happen, right?
But there's the element of human
625
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
interaction and perspective,
right?
626
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,680
An airplane can be like, oh, I
lost both engines, right?
627
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,720
The AI, the AI computer will be
like, OK, we need to shut down.
628
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,160
We need to do a complete
shutdown and we're going to
629
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,320
glide it and land into the
ocean.
630
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,640
OK.
If you have the, there was an
631
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,880
air can or I think it was
Transat, it was a Canadian
632
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,000
airline that went from Canada
all the way to I believe it was
633
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,720
going to Portugal and it made a
landing and the Azores.
634
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080
Why?
Because let me see if I can
635
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,840
remember this correctly.
They started having fuel issues
636
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,200
in one engine in the checklist.
They didn't do something
637
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,040
according exactly to the
checklist.
638
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:49,440
The way that the outcome came
came down to intuition of the
639
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,360
pilots and just flying
experience that they were able
640
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,320
to land an airplane without
engines safely in an island on
641
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,480
the runway.
OK, like it's a miracle, but
642
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,760
artificial intelligence could
have been different and it could
643
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,080
have been like, hey, we need to
shut down both engines because
644
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,120
this is what your checklist
does.
645
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,880
And we're going to have to ditch
in the middle of the ocean.
646
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,240
And you know who who knows how
long it's going to take for
647
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,840
rescue to get there Could have
been there could have been
648
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,520
casualties, right?
That element.
649
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,840
I you AI could not, at least to
this day, cannot do that.
650
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,400
There's no right.
Right, right, right.
651
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,320
I guess So you're saying that
you, but I mean, but you could
652
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,280
really wind down a lot of the
repetitive stuff, right?
653
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,400
Like like what you said, like
you know, flying has changed a
654
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,880
lot, especially since your dad
has been flying, you know, and
655
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,680
I'm sure there's a lot less that
pilots need to do nowadays than
656
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,840
they needed to do 20 years ago
or 30 years ago.
657
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,640
And I'm sure in five 1015 years
it's going to be different too,
658
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,200
no?
For sure.
659
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,080
I I completely agree the the
technology is to help the pilots
660
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,600
stay focused on not dealing with
tasks that take you away from
661
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,160
flying the airplane because
unfortunately that's how a lot
662
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,280
of aerial accidents have
happened in the past.
663
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,840
Pilots got distracted on things
that had not that they didn't
664
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,639
have anything to do with flying,
but they were aside from being
665
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,760
focused on flying.
Right.
666
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,040
So what, what, what is there to
focus on if you're a pilot,
667
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,040
right?
And you're and you're and you're
668
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,159
and you're there.
What are your like?
669
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,040
What's the order of priorities
in terms of your
670
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,719
responsibilities as a pilot, you
know, in terms of net, in terms
671
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,840
of flying, navigating,
engineering, whatever it is
672
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,560
like, what are you expected to
do?
673
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,080
What's computerized what's Not
sure how does?
674
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:40,440
That work the, the, the primary
is the saying that goes aviate,
675
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,400
navigate, communicate.
So you fly the airplane first.
676
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,679
Something goes wrong, right?
Let's say you're like a cruise
677
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:47,280
or something like that.
You guys are chilling.
678
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,159
You and the other pilot are
talking, something goes wrong.
679
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,960
The first thing that you have to
do is fly the airplane, because
680
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,960
if you don't fly the airplane,
well, we don't want to know what
681
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,520
happens after that.
Then you communicate so you can
682
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,640
communicate.
Can it be anything in between,
683
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,880
like checklist usage,
communication between the two
684
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,640
pilots, communication with air
traffic control, and then
685
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,880
navigate?
Finally, after that, you want to
686
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,560
be able to navigate and OK, what
is the course of action that
687
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,160
we're going to do now?
Are we going to divert?
688
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,600
Are we going to go to this or
are we going to go to that, that
689
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,920
level?
So it sounds very easy when I
690
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,360
talk about it because we're just
that cruise at 37,000 feet.
691
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,240
But let's say something happens
when you're lower and you're
692
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:26,920
flying.
Like for example, for us when we
693
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,440
go to keto, those mountaintops
are about 14 to 15,000 feet.
694
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,240
Now you're in a situation, now
you're in a situation where
695
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:37,160
aviate, navigate and communicate
have to happen like this, right?
696
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,120
Has to happen quick because if
you take a long time to
697
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,120
navigate, to get to the
navigation part, you might go
698
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,280
into a mountain, right?
But it's not that.
699
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,480
It's like, oh, we're just
getting, we're just flying blind
700
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,600
and we're just like, something
happens and we're just flying
701
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,760
and we're going towards the
mountain peak.
702
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,240
No, like there are routes that
are predetermined already in our
703
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,720
flight plan, which we will
already be on.
704
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:02,840
It just there's so many
different scenarios.
705
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,400
But what I'm trying to get at is
that the pilot training is,
706
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,640
let's say something happens when
you're around 13,014 thousand
707
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,200
feet around mountainous terrain
and then all of a sudden you
708
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,840
have to aviate, navigate,
communicate.
709
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:24,280
That technology has helped us to
focus on aviate, navigate and
710
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,160
then just being able to, OK, we
assess the situation we're going
711
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,040
to where we need to go.
Now let's talk to everyone.
712
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,840
I think I said it wrong, man.
I think I said aviate,
713
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,320
communicate and navigate.
It's the other way.
714
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,720
It's aviate, navigate,
communicate.
715
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:38,600
So you want to make sure you're
flying the airplane, knowing
716
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,200
where you're going and then talk
about it.
717
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:46,760
So pilot training, especially in
the airlines is all about that.
718
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,240
They put us in scenarios in an
in a simulator where it's
719
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,680
constantly like this happens,
how are you going to handle it?
720
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,960
What are you going to do?
And there's every airline has
721
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,760
standard operating procedures.
That is what helps both pilots
722
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,520
stay exactly in line to complete
that mission when something goes
723
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,400
wrong, so that there's no
miscommunication between the
724
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,920
pilots that there's no like, we
both know exactly what to do.
725
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:19,000
And if technology didn't exist
to help us with that, then one
726
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,120
pilot will be busy trying to
flip a bunch of switches while
727
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,800
the other one's trying to fly
the airplane.
728
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,480
It gets overwhelming.
But pilots used to do it like
729
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,640
that, and I think that's totally
fucking badass.
730
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,640
You know, the fact that you can
divert your attention to so many
731
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,040
things and do it, but
unfortunately there have been a
732
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,160
lot of accidents because of
that.
733
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,160
So that technology, that stuff
has helped.
734
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,000
I even think with like what you
mentioned, 10 to 15 years from
735
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,320
now.
Yeah, I think AI and I think
736
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,080
technology is going to be even
even better.
737
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,960
But I just don't think we will
lose 2 pilots in the flight
738
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,960
deck.
I just think that we will be, we
739
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,280
will be doing, for example, a
flight that would take from New
740
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,640
York to London.
Six hours might take you now
741
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,880
like four or three.
That's why I.
742
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,320
Think right How does?
How does that work?
743
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,920
I mean, it's just acknowledging.
The speed of the plane, that's
744
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,520
just how big the plane is.
And no, in terms of like fuel
745
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,480
efficiency for an, for, for like
engines of an airplane, how, how
746
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,520
much powerful they can get, you
know, what can engines do at
747
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,840
higher altitudes to be able to,
you know, produce more thrust or
748
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,120
get us going to, to, to this
stuff a lot faster?
749
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,280
There's a trade off, right?
There's a trade off because as
750
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,440
you go up in altitude, you lose
density of air.
751
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,000
So it's, it's a lot harder for
jets or turbine engines to
752
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,440
produce thrust with thinner air,
right?
753
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,600
You really have to compress that
air to get thrust out of it.
754
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,000
So yeah, technology has helped a
lot with that and the fuel
755
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,280
efficiency of it.
But when you're up in the air
756
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,280
and the air is less dense,
you're actually moving through
757
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,960
the air a lot faster.
You have less drag, you have
758
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,040
less particles of air that are
slowing you down up at higher
759
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,360
altitudes, right?
So that's a great trade off.
760
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,400
But the other thing is too is
now there's something called
761
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,920
cosmic radiation and it's when
you're flying at higher
762
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:27,600
latitudes, I think, I believe it
might be like 60 N or something
763
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,640
like that.
So basically a beam like, oh, I
764
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,520
don't know, somewhere in North
Canada, little bit right around
765
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,360
there.
If you're flying closer to the
766
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,720
North Pole than that, you're
exposed to radiation.
767
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:42,440
That's cosmic radiation.
It's not like the same as UV
768
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,560
radiation, but it's just
radiation that's there because
769
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,360
you're not being protected so
much by the the atmosphere of
770
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,480
the Earth.
You have less protection at
771
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,920
those altitudes, right?
So that's another like one of
772
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,880
the reasons why, I mean, they
could possibly create an
773
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,320
airplane that can go so much
higher and so much faster so we
774
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,960
can get to a destination a lot
quicker.
775
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,440
But now everybody's exposed to a
lot of radiation and to the
776
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,520
pressure.
You got to think about like
777
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,840
whenever the higher we go, the
airplane has to maintain a
778
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,440
pressure like if we were lower.
Right.
779
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:23,040
So typically you're flying up 30
something 1000 feet 40,000 and
780
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:28,560
your cabin inside the airplane
feels at Max 8000 feet in the
781
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,680
air.
Right.
782
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,920
There's a big pressure
difference.
783
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,840
I mean, that's like a lot of
thousands of feet pressure
784
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,760
difference.
You have to build an airplane
785
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,280
strong enough that it won't
collapse because of the pressure
786
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,360
difference, you see what I'm
saying?
787
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,280
Or explode either 1.
So material of an airplane
788
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,240
technology wise is one thing,
engines of an airplane and how
789
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,320
it performs is another thing
that with technology and AII
790
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,320
think could get better so that
we could start doing longer
791
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,280
flights faster.
But we have to be careful about
792
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,360
the radiation.
Correct.
793
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,600
You have to be careful about the
radiation, but that's that's why
794
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,080
like we won't like the, the, the
airplanes don't have to go so
795
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,720
high in altitude to an in order
to achieve faster speeds, you
796
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,120
know what I'm saying?
So, so I think, you know,
797
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,440
there's, there's a difference,
there's regulations based on how
798
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,000
much radiation can you fly
through in a given amount of
799
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,200
time.
And then if the airline could
800
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:33,080
not program you to fly in those
altitudes and those latitudes
801
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,040
for more than XYZ numbers
because it'll violate the the
802
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,680
totally, yeah.
Totally, by the way, what do you
803
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,200
think?
I mean my understanding is also
804
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,120
that or my understanding is that
underwater has experiences or
805
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,720
you know, in the ocean
experiences similar levels of
806
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:53,320
pressure in that kind of way.
Do like submarines are like, you
807
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,240
know, I guess a marine type of
technology is that is do they
808
00:41:57,240 --> 00:42:00,480
collaborate with, with, with
aviation at all?
809
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,120
Because they face similar
challenges in terms of, you
810
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,400
know, having to design, you
know, a, a thing, you know, a
811
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,800
boat or a plane that can
withstand all this pressure and
812
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,800
create an environment of a
different pressure within it.
813
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,200
Is there collaboration between
the two or are they 2 totally
814
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,880
different sciences?
That's a great question.
815
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,360
There might be to a certain
extent, but it's the complete
816
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,440
opposite because every time
whenever you start going below
817
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,760
water, the pressure is actually
increasing, increasing,
818
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,000
increasing so that submarines go
down the water pressure and the
819
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,720
pressure outside the submarine
is so much greater.
820
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:40,680
Like the submarine itself inside
has to be able to not collapse
821
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:45,360
like a like a coke can, right?
But the people inside need to
822
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,400
feel like if they were higher,
like.
823
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,280
If they were.
Almost at the surface, right?
824
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,440
So it's inverted.
It's just inverted.
825
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,520
Exactly.
So that's why I think there's
826
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,960
not much of A collaboration,
but, but there could be.
827
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,640
I've never really even thought
about that nor investigated it.
828
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,720
But I'm sure there's talks.
I'm sure there's talks and and
829
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:05,120
you know, just because they're
completely inverted doesn't mean
830
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,520
that there's some overlapping
information that each one can
831
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,640
use.
That submarine that that that
832
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,760
went down a couple years ago.
I remember that story.
833
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,360
They're like trying to you know,
go down to a Titanic or whatever
834
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,040
and like those guys must have
died immediately, right?
835
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,080
Because I the anything that goes
wrong, the pressure, just like
836
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,720
you said, you know, crack, you
know, cracks it or cocaine.
837
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,320
Yeah, there's actually, I was
just looking at through Netflix
838
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,880
yesterday and I added that
documentary to the past.
839
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,400
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm gonna see.
840
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,680
I remember reading an article
that it like fucking
841
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,200
disintegrated or some shit.
I can't remember exactly the
842
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,080
words when it was but but
people.
843
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,880
Are looking for them, right?
What's the point of looking for
844
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:45,720
them?
Right.
845
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,240
It's it's so much pressure, man,
like deep that deep inside.
846
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,960
Like just think about this when
you go scuba diving and I think
847
00:43:53,960 --> 00:44:00,200
it's like you do a a depth of
more than like 20 to 30 feet or
848
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,160
something like that.
Yeah.
849
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,400
And obviously you have to go up
controlled.
850
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:10,120
Whatever you cannot, you should
not fly 24 to 48 hours after you
851
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,280
go scuba diving after reaching a
certain depth.
852
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,760
Really.
Yes, because what that does to
853
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,200
you in terms of like your body
still acclimating to pressure
854
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,640
and you think about it like
biologically to the smallest
855
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,920
extent, there's still pieces and
parts of your body that have not
856
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,480
acclimated to the new pressure
that it starts to build up like
857
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,720
bubbles in your bloodstream,
bubbles in your, in your like
858
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,760
areas where you're going to get
a lot of pain in your joints.
859
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:41,200
Call them the bends, right.
So if you change that, if you
860
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,880
change that pressure drastically
in less than like 24 to 48
861
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,400
hours, you're going to start
feeling a lot of pain.
862
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,880
That's why they always tell us,
they always tell us if you're
863
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,520
going to go scuba diving, don't
like on overnights.
864
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:55,920
We don't, we don't do any of
that.
865
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,800
We don't do any of because it's,
it's, it's dangerous.
866
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,040
And when we're flying, actually
when I was going through my
867
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,840
private pilot and commercial
license, you know, you're,
868
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,960
you're flying in airplanes that
are unpressurized.
869
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,840
So you're really feeling like
whatever altitude that it is
870
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,200
that it is outside.
And part of like, you know, the,
871
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:19,880
the passenger checklist was to,
you know, ask them if anybody
872
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,880
has been scuba diving or
anything in the past, because
873
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:25,920
now you can cause now you, you
know, they're not going to go
874
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,960
and tell you the passenger's not
going to be like, hey man, yeah,
875
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,360
I went scuba diving.
It was awesome.
876
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,440
Cool.
Like maybe they'll say it, but
877
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,640
there's no way you're going to
know unless they tell you.
878
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,920
So now you're flying in the air
and these people start feeling
879
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,160
super uncomfortable because they
didn't know about that.
880
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,840
And yeah, it was, it was, it was
something that we have to ask
881
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,440
the passengers.
But I'm assuming I've never done
882
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,680
any scuba diving lessons or
anything like that before.
883
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,720
In the course that they take,
they probably tell them don't go
884
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:57,520
flying for 24 to 48 hours, you
know, I mean, but I mean, you
885
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,320
just never know.
It's always, it's always better
886
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,160
to ask and be safe than somebody
start feeling bad and now you
887
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,040
have to go somewhere else
because something somebody's
888
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,560
having a bad time.
Yeah, definitely.
889
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:13,640
What's the is it is the is the
party culture of airline like of
890
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,760
the airline industry overrated,
overdramaticized or is it
891
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,080
accurate or like what you what?
You see from shows and movies
892
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,720
and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
893
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,120
Is.
It is it over because I feel
894
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,400
like listen, at the end of the
day, especially if you're like
895
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,960
just if you are, if you're a
single person, you know, and
896
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,240
you're and you're spending all
this time travelling different
897
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,200
places.
I mean, I would probably be
898
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,280
partying all the time.
Sure, yeah, I mean and look
899
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,640
there's, there's there's nothing
wrong with doing what you want
900
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,280
to do as long as you are
responsible and you're within
901
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,000
the limits of the regulations,
right.
902
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:58,440
Nowadays the airline scheduling
is so much tighter.
903
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,840
And what I mean by that is
before back in the day, you used
904
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,600
to be able to do 1 flight, go
somewhere, be there for like, I
905
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,000
don't know, 244836 hours and
then come back.
906
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,800
That was plenty of time for, you
know, to go and explore, do all
907
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,640
the partying and everything that
you wanted to do.
908
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,800
I mean, it's, it's part of the
lifestyle, man.
909
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,160
You go somewhere new to
experience another state,
910
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,440
another city, another country.
It's something nowadays they,
911
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:32,280
the technology for, you know,
optimizing pilot schedules is
912
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,320
well if there's these
regulations of pilot rest, I
913
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,800
want to be able to use maximize
the, the time that this pilot
914
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:46,640
can fly per day before we hit
any sort of like fatigue risk.
915
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,240
OK, So what happens is now you
have long days of flying where
916
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:53,400
you're flying maybe two to three
flights a day.
917
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:59,040
You get to an overnight and it's
only anywhere between 12:16 or
918
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,920
24 hours.
That's it man, after after
919
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,720
flying all day.
Right, you don't want to you're.
920
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,400
Kind of you're a little bit
wiped out.
921
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,680
You get, by the time you get to
your hotel, by the time everyone
922
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,800
meets up, you're only, you're
only looking at a couple hours
923
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,280
to do something.
You know, the next day you, you
924
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,400
may have an early show or the
next day, you know, you, you got
925
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,040
in super late.
So now you're going to bed at
926
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,520
like 2-3 in the morning.
You're not going to wake up at
927
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,600
7:00 or something to go and go
to the beach and things like
928
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,800
that.
You're going to try to get rest
929
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,840
because you fly again the next
day.
930
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,680
Two to three flights they're
trying to get.
931
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,360
That sucks man.
It does, it does.
932
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,480
But to me it's still the best
job in the world.
933
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,120
And you know, it's a job.
We're getting paid, we're
934
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,160
getting paid well.
And while our overnights, not
935
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:54,280
all of them are 24 hours, you
still have enough to be able to,
936
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,320
I don't know, maybe get dinner
with the crew somewhere, or
937
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,360
maybe you'd do a breakfast with
the crew before you go.
938
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,040
It just really all depends.
The funnest layover for me, at
939
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,120
least I've been in the Caribbean
where there is a lot of like,
940
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,040
you know, it's, you're all on
the beach, you're all doing
941
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,880
like, it's all this Beachy vibes
and things.
942
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,920
And, and, and I love that
because you go out with the
943
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,880
crew, get breakfast in the
morning, some of us will go get
944
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,520
a workout in before we go fly
and boom, there goes our morning
945
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,320
and afternoon, You know, so it,
it is different.
946
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,320
Don't get me wrong, people still
do party, but you know, it's
947
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,600
also there's also a lot.
Of sounds like it's hard to
948
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,440
sounds like you have to put like
a lot of work into it.
949
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,800
You have to like, put work into
finding time to party.
950
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:40,440
I mean for real yeah, you, you,
you do and but everybody like
951
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,880
knows hey, this is the
regulation.
952
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,400
This is where you have to be
back by.
953
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:53,920
This is, you know, if you kind
of cross that line, you're not
954
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,680
only are you putting your your
job at risk, but you're putting
955
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,240
people at risk.
And everyone knows, everyone
956
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:07,280
knows that if you even come
close to that, it's not worth
957
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,440
any of the repercussions that
have to come with that.
958
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,400
So, you know, that being said,
there's a good balance between
959
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,000
how much you want to go explore
and party and everything versus,
960
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,360
hey, the professional
professionalism of your job in
961
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,640
what you do.
And it's definitely changed a
962
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,040
lot throughout the years.
I bet, I bet.
963
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,160
But I mean, I can't imagine that
everyone looks at it as
964
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,080
professionally as you do.
You know what I mean?
965
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,800
It sounds, I think you sound
like you're thoughtful about it
966
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,280
and you're, you know, mature
about it, you know, but I'm sure
967
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,480
that listen, there are plenty,
there are plenty of adults that
968
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:46,920
are adult children, you know
that.
969
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,440
And I guess, I guess obviously,
you know, I guess the crew would
970
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,560
be different than a pilot in
terms of responsibilities, you
971
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,120
know, But how strictly enforced
are are all the regulations,
972
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,840
especially when it comes to
like, you know, travelling or
973
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,880
getting somewhere in time or,
you know, drinking or not or,
974
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:07,560
you know, whatever it are there
random tests are yes.
975
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,960
Well, what's?
Yeah, there are.
976
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,800
Yep, Yep.
There's random tests, you know,
977
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,760
at random people or pilots and
flight attendants can be tested
978
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,560
for alcohol or drugs at any
point, anytime, anywhere.
979
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,720
There's also like everything.
Do they do it often?
980
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,080
Yeah, yeah, it.
But I mean, there's so many
981
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,040
people in the airline, though,
that it's often without how many
982
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,320
people there are.
But each individual person, you
983
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:39,560
just never know when you're
going to get it.
984
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,480
There could be a time where you
get it like, oh, wow, I only got
985
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,400
it like a couple months ago.
And sometimes it could be a year
986
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,680
or two before you get one again.
It's so random.
987
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,240
It's so random.
I honestly don't know how the
988
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,680
algorithm works for that.
If it's a computer, if it's like
989
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:58,960
chosen by certain people, But
it's, you know, the, the, the,
990
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,360
the policy and the regulation is
a little bit different.
991
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:09,560
The regulation is one thing.
The policy that we do can amend
992
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,160
that regulation.
So for us, it's actually a
993
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,480
little bit more restrictive.
It's 12 hours before you can
994
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,600
have any alcohol and you touch
an airplane or I think it's like
995
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:25,640
.004 or something like that.
It's something that like if if
996
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,800
you have one beer within 12
hours it'll show up.
997
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,680
Really.
Yeah, so, wow, So something like
998
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,240
that it, I mean, I don't even do
that because I don't even come
999
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:38,400
close to that limit.
Why why would I want to come
1000
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,120
close to that 12 hour limit?
You know, if if the if the
1001
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,320
layover is long enough, 36
hours, cool, that gives me
1002
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,200
plenty of time to not have any
of that, right.
1003
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,920
But yeah, there are random,
there are random tests.
1004
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,760
There are regulations in terms
of alcohol percentage in your
1005
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,880
blood.
There's in terms of time and
1006
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,400
also when it comes to an
investigation or something like
1007
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,480
that, there is cameras
everywhere, man.
1008
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,120
And airlines have access to
cameras in hotels and
1009
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,560
everything.
So you you're kind of almost
1010
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,200
like being watched.
Oh yeah, Big Brother.
1011
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,920
Yeah, exactly so.
Big brother's there.
1012
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:20,440
Yeah, yeah.
But to some extent, I mean, it
1013
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,800
doesn't mean you can't have fun.
There's plenty of ways to be
1014
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,120
able to have fun and and if the
layover like again, if the
1015
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,760
layover's long enough, more than
happy to to enjoy a few drinks
1016
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:33,480
here and there.
How do you, I had, I have this,
1017
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,440
I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure a ton
of people have this.
1018
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:40,560
I guess you get used to it, but
how do you maintain your health
1019
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,960
regimen, workout regimen,
productivity when you're
1020
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,840
constantly in new places?
Because one thing that I
1021
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,600
struggle with for sure is that
when I, I kind of have to be in
1022
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:55,280
like my space, that I, that I
associate like psychologically
1023
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:59,320
and mentally with productivity.
And like when I travel to a
1024
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,840
hotel, even like again, like
here at my parents house, you
1025
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,560
know, like my associations,
being at my parents house is not
1026
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,360
the same association as being at
my house.
1027
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,280
You know, I feel like I'm a kid
here as opposed to a dad and,
1028
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,600
and, and you know, and a
homeowner, you know, I feel
1029
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,000
like, as opposed to being the
man of the house.
1030
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,400
How do you, how do you, how do
you maintain that?
1031
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,920
Or do you, you know or do you
just like listen, if you're
1032
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,200
flying 3 or 4 times a week and
it's just you know it's off then
1033
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,280
or what do you do?
It's a very good question.
1034
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,920
I since I was a little kid, I've
always been very curious and
1035
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:37,080
very like resourceful for
getting something done that I
1036
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,880
want to do.
The first thing that I do is I
1037
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,960
how I value my health and
fitness is very high.
1038
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:48,080
Then from there, I work down on
how am I going to obtain for me
1039
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,400
to fulfill that value, right?
That means if I'm in a hotel
1040
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,840
room and there's no gym at that
hotel, can I move some furniture
1041
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,240
around?
Can I do some plyometric work in
1042
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:01,000
that hotel room?
Can I do something that's going
1043
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,160
to get me to that value of me
fulfilling that?
1044
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,760
So I've always had that since I
was a little kid.
1045
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,640
I'm guessing the way I built
discipline to that is by holding
1046
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,720
that so highly to me.
It's very, very important to me.
1047
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,000
But you know, the way that I do
it is it?
1048
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:23,160
I used to work out so hard
almost every day, even when I
1049
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,240
was flying, even when I was at
home.
1050
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,680
And that kind of caught up to
me.
1051
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:32,200
And I can't be doing so much
hard, heavy training when I'm
1052
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,560
also operating an airplane,
right?
1053
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,960
You get tired.
There's nights where maybe you
1054
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,040
don't get good enough sleep
because you have kids running
1055
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,480
around the hotel hallway just
waking you up every couple
1056
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,520
minutes.
Certain things are outside of
1057
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,960
your control.
So you know as you go and and
1058
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,640
you learn that from experience
as you go.
1059
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,200
As I went through my airline
career, I started amending and
1060
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,920
adjusting what I do on my
layovers and what I do at home.
1061
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,520
So everything that is
progressive overload, heavier
1062
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:08,760
lifting, or more like strenuous
hard work is done at home.
1063
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,760
Because.
Here I have more equipment and
1064
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,480
here I have more control of what
my rest looks like.
1065
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,080
How, how, how?
How many days a week are you
1066
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,400
home as opposed to traveling?
It depends.
1067
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,760
Sometimes you can be gone four
nights, or sorry, three nights,
1068
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,240
four days.
Sometimes you can be gone two
1069
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:30,600
nights, three days.
Sometimes you're back the same
1070
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,760
day.
It just, it's, it changes, man.
1071
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:38,440
It changes so much that you have
to have a plan.
1072
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,160
Ready.
So you have to take a look like
1073
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,120
how you look at your week Sunday
through Sunday and you're like,
1074
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,960
OK, this week I'm going to fly
this, this, this.
1075
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,440
So I'm going to work out these
body parts on these off days and
1076
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,960
I'm going to do mobility and
flexibility on these days
1077
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,680
because I'm flying 8 hours this
day.
1078
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,360
You can't just be like, oh, I'm
flying 8 hours this day and I'm
1079
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,560
going to go lift like a ton of
weight.
1080
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,160
There's no way, man.
First of all, mentally you won't
1081
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,840
get there.
You will be discouraged because
1082
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,880
of dude, sitting in an airplane
or just sitting in general all
1083
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:15,920
day is just only contributing to
you continuing to sit and being
1084
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,040
lazy.
Not in terms of like that you're
1085
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,320
lazy, you don't want to do
anything.
1086
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,880
But the act of not moving
doesn't make you productive.
1087
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,280
The act of sitting makes you
want to stay sitting.
1088
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,960
The act of lounging makes you
only want to lounge.
1089
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:35,120
So now you go from 8 hours in a
day sitting in an airplane and
1090
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,880
between two to three different
flights.
1091
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,360
You get to your hotel room and
you're like oh fuck man.
1092
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,560
My hips are tight, my lower back
is tight.
1093
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,640
Now I got to go lift.
Your mind is like, no, no, no,
1094
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,360
no, no, we're not doing that.
Like, and then sometimes you end
1095
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,120
up not doing anything at all.
But if you take that.
1096
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,600
So that's a very big gap to
jump.
1097
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,320
And this is how I like to always
do a metaphor.
1098
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,520
If instead of trying to jump
that gap to get from like being
1099
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:06,120
really tired to doing a really
hard workout, build the bridge
1100
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,880
that you can easily walk.
Across so smart, dude.
1101
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,360
So smart.
And that bridge is let's focus
1102
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,960
on undoing the sitting that we
did today.
1103
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,680
Let's do hit mobility.
Let's do something and do it
1104
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,240
before you know it.
Like I start off with hit
1105
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,240
mobility and then all of a
sudden I run like a 5K like.
1106
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:24,080
What?
Yeah.
1107
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,440
Where did that go from?
You know, things like that,
1108
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,360
you're just, you're building
that bridge.
1109
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,840
Do you have to get to the other
side and do an intense workout?
1110
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,760
No.
But at least you're walking the
1111
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:35,760
bridge.
You're getting there.
1112
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,400
Because if that intense workout
is not today, it could be
1113
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:39,760
tomorrow.
Yeah.
1114
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,640
You know what I'm saying?
You don't.
1115
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,320
Do you have an opportunity to
get up and move around while
1116
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,720
you're flying or almost never?
Yeah, yeah, we have.
1117
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,000
We could do like breaks where we
use the bathroom and things like
1118
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,760
that, but it's not that much.
You're supposed to go into the
1119
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,800
bathroom, come back and go right
back into the flight deck.
1120
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,480
It's not, you know, it's not
much time that we can lounge
1121
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,640
around at least in, in narrow
body airplanes like the seven
1122
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:07,480
three that I fly or, but if
you're in, in a 777 or in a, in
1123
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,400
a Dreamliner where you're doing
all these much longer flights,
1124
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,920
there are crew rest breaks.
That means you get a rest break
1125
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,960
for about two to three hours.
There you're free to do what you
1126
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,920
want.
You can go watch a movie, you
1127
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,840
can sleep.
There's bunks in the airplane,
1128
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,840
you can stretch, you can do
whatever you want.
1129
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,200
That's only.
What do you usually do?
1130
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:28,880
I don't have those kind of
breaks.
1131
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,040
I fly narrow body.
No, no.
1132
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,480
I.
Just would you, do you want to
1133
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,400
fly vigor?
Would you go to that?
1134
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,320
No, I would love to.
I think it'll be a cool
1135
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,160
experience, yeah.
How does that, how does that
1136
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,000
work?
Does that?
1137
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,280
Is that based on seniority?
Is that just based on like it
1138
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,960
is, it's just like, hey, man,
like you've been doing this for
1139
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,200
two years.
You're not getting on a
1140
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,320
Dreamliner, man.
You know, you do this for 10
1141
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,040
years, you get, you get on.
Exactly.
1142
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,080
Oh yeah, dude, man, it's going
to take so long for me to get
1143
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,880
there.
But I mean, it's fine.
1144
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,640
It's it's all part of the
process sometimes.
1145
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,280
How long does it take, How long
does it usually take to get to
1146
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,200
get to make your way up there?
Like where do you consider in
1147
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,960
your career as far as like a
pilot?
1148
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,560
Well, I think it, I think it's
going to take me about like
1149
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:13,320
another three years to get to
fly in those airplanes, but.
1150
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,360
It it.
I'm enjoying so much being a
1151
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,680
captain on this airplane that
I'm on right now.
1152
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:24,600
And to me, I, I don't, I haven't
really looked at my career of
1153
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,040
like, OK, what's next?
OK, what's next?
1154
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,960
Like I got to get to this, I
guess enjoying this dude, I'm
1155
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:34,560
just enjoying every single time.
And I'm I'm in either, you know,
1156
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,880
when I was a first officer, when
I was a captain, when I was the
1157
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,720
first officer again, Now I'm a
captain again.
1158
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,480
I mean, you truly enjoying the
moment.
1159
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:47,960
It just really, truly makes me
feel like this is just still a
1160
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,440
dream, man.
There was a time where you do
1161
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,560
have to hustle.
You do have to hustle to get OK.
1162
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,800
You got to get your flight hours
to become captain, OK.
1163
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,080
You got to get your flight hours
to get to the next airline that
1164
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,160
you want to go to.
Those are the times that you
1165
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,640
hustle.
But yeah, I'm not always
1166
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,880
thinking like, oh man, I can't
wait to fly like to all the
1167
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,920
Europe and all that stuff.
Man, that time will come when
1168
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,840
it'll come.
Right now I'm having so much fun
1169
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:17,720
flying South America, you know,
so, so that's, I think that's
1170
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,520
another thing that makes me
enjoy my job so much.
1171
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,440
Yeah, yeah.
You know what?
1172
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,960
That's such a great attitude.
There's something about I, I was
1173
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,160
actually, I was talking about
this because there was such a
1174
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,680
fundamental difference between I
didn't know what I wanted to do
1175
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,520
with my entire life ever, right?
For a long time, there were
1176
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,880
always things I knew that I kind
of spoke to me, but I wasn't
1177
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:42,880
sure what I wanted to do.
And one thing I, I started doing
1178
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,040
a couple years ago, I started
teaching.
1179
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,440
I always, I, I love teaching.
And this podcast is something
1180
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,160
else I love, right?
And you know, people ask me
1181
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:50,760
like, oh, how's it coming?
How's it going along?
1182
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:56,680
And like, man, there's when you
find something that you enjoy,
1183
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,440
you don't mind taking your time
to get wherever you got to get
1184
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,120
because you're enjoying
everything you do.
1185
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:06,040
And when you don't rush it, like
what we talked about earlier,
1186
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,320
you know, like full circle, you
know, when you're not rushing
1187
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,880
and when you're just letting the
moment be the moment and when
1188
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,520
you're just experiencing what
you're experiencing and also
1189
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,080
building and also growing and
also learning and also getting
1190
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,800
experience, but you're loving
what you do along the way.
1191
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,480
That's like, that's ideal set.
That's happiness in my opinion,
1192
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:24,120
right?
Happiness.
1193
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,960
Happiness to me is a feeling of
having a big picture and knowing
1194
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,920
that you're doing what you can
to get to that big picture and
1195
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:34,600
feeling like you're taking steps
towards it.
1196
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:40,520
Cuz like I don't, cuz happiness
is almost like if you ask me if
1197
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:41,880
I'm having a hard day, are you
happy?
1198
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,800
I'm like, yeah, I am, it's a
hard day, but I'm a happy, but
1199
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,840
I'm I'm happy.
I love my life, I feel good.
1200
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,400
I'm a happy person.
I feel meaningful and and
1201
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,520
content and but but, you know,
and then there are people that
1202
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,720
have comforts and I have, you
know, you know, that have what
1203
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,040
everyone else wants, but they
don't feel like they're working
1204
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,320
towards achieving any kind of
goal or any kind of dream or any
1205
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,920
kind of vision and they're not
happy, you know, and like, so,
1206
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,920
so it's such a hell.
It's such a great attitude to be
1207
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:10,720
like, yeah, man, you know, I'll
try.
1208
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,000
I'll fly a Dreamliner one day.
But you know, like, you know, I
1209
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,520
got there, man.
And like, I like what I'm doing,
1210
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,520
you know, like that's just what
I'm that's awesome.
1211
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,440
With minutes.
Some of your favorite places to
1212
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,760
to visit so far.
Wow man, that's every time I get
1213
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:23,640
asked that.
It's it's pretty.
1214
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:24,880
Tough it changes, right?
Well.
1215
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,000
Yeah, let's.
Talk about the people or the OR
1216
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,600
the OR let's talk about people
like your favorite, like types
1217
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,160
of people that you've seen and
the favorite like, you know, I
1218
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,960
guess cities or topography,
because I feel like those are
1219
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:41,440
two different questions.
For real and also to, to add on
1220
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,360
to that either for work or for
pleasure, right.
1221
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,800
So like that's, that's different
too.
1222
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,240
I'll, I'll, I'll start off with
work wise where I like going.
1223
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,680
I really love going to the Dr.
Dominican Republic.
1224
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,240
I love going there.
The people there I vibe with so
1225
01:03:58,240 --> 01:03:59,440
much.
They're fun.
1226
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,360
It's a great mixture between
being professional and having
1227
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,880
fun at the same time.
I think they're really great and
1228
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:10,880
Puerto Rico as well.
I get that same feeling and the
1229
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:15,280
where I really truly enjoy going
to as well is Central America
1230
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,960
because it's challenging.
It's challenging to go there in
1231
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:24,920
terms of the runway layout, the
airport layouts, mountains
1232
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,000
around, dude.
Sometimes there's like these
1233
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,120
runways that are not completely
straight, they're like downhill
1234
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,800
or they come down and then come
back up.
1235
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,480
It's it's just challenging and I
love that.
1236
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,080
That makes the job so much more
interesting.
1237
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,560
So I think one of my favorite
ones is also Guatemala.
1238
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,040
I like flying.
Into Guatemala.
1239
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,240
Yeah, it's a really interesting
airport.
1240
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,160
Let's.
See what about this interesting
1241
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,400
when you say these things, when
you say that these are like I'm
1242
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,400
just cuz I don't I don't even
know how to even think about
1243
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,800
what you're thinking about you.
Know like, so let me try to let
1244
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,120
me try to visualize it for you.
OK, so you're coming in from the
1245
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,600
Gulf, right?
And you're starting to descend
1246
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,920
now you're starting to descend
into like where mountains,
1247
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,360
terrains are.
The airport is located on a
1248
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,360
hill, maybe a hill that's like
about like I can't remember the
1249
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,360
elevation, let's call it like
about maybe like the 1000 or
1250
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,520
2000 feet right from sea level.
You have to come the way you're
1251
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,360
coming into it from the, from
the Gulf is in your landing
1252
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,800
looking towards the Gulf.
So you have to somehow make 180��
1253
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:36,400
turn somewhere, but you can't
just make 180�� anywhere because
1254
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,280
there's mountains and volcanoes
all around.
1255
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,360
Obviously there's, there's
called arrival charts and
1256
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,040
approach charts.
So as long as you're following
1257
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,160
those that chart and those
Airways, you're going to be
1258
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,160
fine.
The thing is, is configuring and
1259
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,560
maneuvering the airplane to be
at those specific spots at the
1260
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:58,080
specific speed, at the fixed
specific configuration, you
1261
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,160
know, and there's a, you start
like met like you start
1262
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,800
preparing for this while you're
still cruising.
1263
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,400
So way before you start
descending, you figure out like,
1264
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,200
OK, my landing capability is
going to be this because we
1265
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,960
weigh this much.
Is a runway wet?
1266
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:18,400
Is there a slope on the runway?
What kind of density altitude do
1267
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:19,920
I have?
Am I going to be landing with a
1268
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,240
tailwind?
With a headwind?
1269
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,680
All these things you're taking
into consideration and you're
1270
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,160
prepared mentally before you
even start descending.
1271
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,120
Awesome.
And then your goal descending is
1272
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,120
to be like, OK, I set up for
this.
1273
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:33,760
This is how it's going to be
done.
1274
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,040
And that's the goal reaching
those things.
1275
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,200
So dude, as you're coming
through, there may be clouds,
1276
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,680
there may not be clouds.
You may pop out of clouds and
1277
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,720
they all sort of like the
volcanoes right in front of you.
1278
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,200
And you're hitting the point you
where you got to make 180�� turn.
1279
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,160
You're lining yourself with the
runway.
1280
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,960
It could be raining, it could be
not right before the runway,
1281
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,760
there's like a freaking
waterfall, which looks so cool.
1282
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,440
Not all of, not a lot of people
see it because it's kind of
1283
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,720
small, but you could definitely
see it if you look good enough.
1284
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,080
And then you're coming in, you
may have like all this wind from
1285
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,400
around the mountains that are
just like pushing you left,
1286
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:09,880
right with you against you.
Then the, the, the runway is not
1287
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,400
grooved.
So they, the, the, the water
1288
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,040
puddles in the runway in
Guatemala, which is a huge
1289
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,240
threat.
You know, you don't want to land
1290
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,760
where there's puddles of water.
You can 'cause they could be
1291
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,320
hydroplaning.
So now you're thinking about
1292
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,480
like, OK, what's my braking
effectivity going to be?
1293
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,320
How am I going to do this?
What kind of flap setting, all
1294
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,760
those things.
It's nice when you think of all
1295
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:36,560
that and you, you know, you
execute it and you park the
1296
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,840
airplane and you're like, fuck
yeah, you know, that was cool.
1297
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,760
So it's satisfying.
It's like a challenge and it's
1298
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,840
satisfying.
Versus like when you come back
1299
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:47,160
to Miami, I love Miami, I love
landing here.
1300
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,440
I think it's the best freaking
airport to land here.
1301
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,760
The controllers are super cool,
the scenery super awesome and
1302
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:56,840
but it's something that you
already know.
1303
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,000
You already know which runway
you're getting.
1304
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,800
You already know that it's long
enough for you to land there.
1305
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,960
You know it's grooved.
You know this this, this, so you
1306
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,800
know all of it.
You still plan for it, but it's
1307
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:06,400
different because there's no
mountains.
1308
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,400
There's no like winds that are
could be unexpected there.
1309
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,360
Obviously there's thunderstorms
that can pop here and there, but
1310
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:17,319
there's less of like threats
than there is for example, in
1311
01:08:17,319 --> 01:08:21,120
like Guatemala or Medellin in
Colombia landing at night over
1312
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,040
there.
Oh man, it's just fantastic.
1313
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:25,920
I love doing that.
But let me get back to your
1314
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:30,040
original question where I love
the most going to and I think my
1315
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,120
favorite countries have been
we've my wife and I have been to
1316
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,160
I think like 40 together 3637 or
40.
1317
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,920
Can you take her on a flight on
a flight with you?
1318
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:42,439
Like if you're like, have to go
for.
1319
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,600
She's a pilot.
She's a pilot too, so she.
1320
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:45,840
On the way.
Yeah, yeah.
1321
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,399
We both have the same.
Bed so cool.
1322
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,279
Yeah, so she so so.
But she and herself has been to
1323
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:53,359
70 countries.
I've been to 56.
1324
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,359
Japan is my favorite.
I think it's because like, the
1325
01:08:57,359 --> 01:09:00,920
culture, the education, the
scenery, everything.
1326
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,240
Switzerland is amazing.
Norway is amazing.
1327
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,319
When you go to these places,
you're going, you're going,
1328
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:11,439
you're not going for work,
you're going.
1329
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:12,800
No, you're.
Going, these are for fun.
1330
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,319
These are for fun, yeah.
Right.
1331
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,880
And do you get to travel?
You get discounts on travelling?
1332
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,279
Do you travel for free?
How does that work?
1333
01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:20,120
We have benefits, we have travel
benefits.
1334
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:23,080
So we can fly anywhere we want
as long as there's space.
1335
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,960
And if it's international, you
pay the taxes.
1336
01:09:26,359 --> 01:09:29,760
And then if you go on another
airline, you pay like a heavily
1337
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,800
discounted rate that they give
each other's, you know, every
1338
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,600
airline supports each other's
employees in terms of like, can
1339
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,560
you travel on us?
If there's space, you pay this
1340
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:41,840
minimal fee and that's that's
mainly why we can fly and go
1341
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,680
everywhere.
So much for fun.
1342
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,080
Right.
And did.
1343
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,840
And the 15 hours, how long did
it take to get to Japan?
1344
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,479
Shit, Japan.
Where did we do Japan from?
1345
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,360
We do Japan from Dallas.
So it was like, you know, like
1346
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,040
1415.
Yeah, Does that does that.
1347
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,440
Is that is that hard for you or
that doesn't bother you?
1348
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:04,880
Man, that would drive me crazy,
man.
1349
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,600
Good.
Question.
1350
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:13,720
Sometimes it has but I just
sometimes like dude just drink 3
1351
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,680
glasses of wine and pass out.
That's all you got to do.
1352
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,800
I just pass out dude.
I just go to sleep and sometimes
1353
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,400
like the longest flight I did
was Doha to Miami and that was
1354
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:31,720
like 16 and change dude I slept
like 9 hours out of that thing
1355
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,360
then I watched it.
Two to three more movies and
1356
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:37,760
there you go.
And then boom we're home and I'm
1357
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,560
like wow shit that's not that
bad but man if I had not slept
1358
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,520
for 9 hours I'd be going nuts.
Yeah, So Japan.
1359
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,000
You thought Japan was awesome?
Loved it.
1360
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,360
I loved it.
You loved it?
1361
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,200
I loved it.
Yeah.
1362
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,480
I even got a tattoo to my legs,
part of my sleeve.
1363
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:54,280
Really.
Yeah.
1364
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,360
Cuz we had my.
Fuji, We hiked at the top of
1365
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,080
Mount Fuji.
That was probably one of the
1366
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,560
hardest hikes we've done.
We've done hiking all over the
1367
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:06,840
world, probably have hundreds
and hundreds, hundreds of trails
1368
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,320
that we've done around the
world, and Mount Fuji was
1369
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:11,600
probably one of the hardest
ones.
1370
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:13,080
Wow.
What?
1371
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,880
What was more challenging?
What was more challenging about
1372
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,560
it?
Dude, I think, I think it was
1373
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,080
because the preparation of me, I
wasn't very well hydrated before
1374
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:26,640
we started and we went a day
after landing.
1375
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:31,760
So we weren't hourly acclimated
yet, you know, So I think a
1376
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,880
mixture of like a little bit of
fatigue, you know, not enough
1377
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,600
eating, not enough hydration and
then.
1378
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,080
But the but the mountain itself
was it was, it was like if you
1379
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,640
did that.
No, it was super, super
1380
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,160
inclined, man.
Like it got to a point where I'm
1381
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,760
like, I started cramping.
I had to stop.
1382
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:50,040
My wife kept going.
I don't know.
1383
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:54,280
She's like, she's like once she
gets going, she doesn't stop,
1384
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,440
dude.
She's like, I'll wait for you at
1385
01:11:56,440 --> 01:12:01,160
the top.
I'm like, dude, what is the deal
1386
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,440
with why?
I, I lived in I lived in Seattle
1387
01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:08,800
for a little for a for a year.
I've I drove, I drove cross
1388
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,720
country to to get there.
Rainier is awesome, man.
1389
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:15,280
Have you been, have you been out
West?
1390
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,280
Do you spend time out West?
A little bit.
1391
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:21,120
I've done some California stuff,
but I have not explored
1392
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,360
Washington or Oregon or anything
I've flown.
1393
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:24,600
Into there, but I haven't
explored.
1394
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,160
Dude.
Dude, if you like hiking and you
1395
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,680
like nature, you got to be crazy
not to spend time there.
1396
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,800
Yeah.
It's incredible.
1397
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,840
There's something about the West
Coast mountains that are so much
1398
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:43,440
more grandiose and so much more.
Like, literally awesome, awe
1399
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:44,360
inspiring.
Yeah.
1400
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,520
And I feel like the East Coast
mountains, I don't know.
1401
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,680
I don't know what and what it
is.
1402
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,480
Someone mentioned to me that
they may have been that the East
1403
01:12:50,480 --> 01:12:53,520
Coast is older and that the West
Coast mountains are newer.
1404
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,280
So like as as time went on, the
mountains kind of like flattened
1405
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,840
out, which is why they appear a
little bit a little longer.
1406
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,120
But what about the Yeah, what
about culturally?
1407
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:08,160
Your favorite place is to like
be with people because like, I
1408
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:12,480
love, for example, like Dublin,
I love the Irish, dude, the
1409
01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:18,040
Irish are awesome and and, and
you know, but obviously that's
1410
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:19,760
not the most beautiful place
I've ever been to in my entire
1411
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,840
life, you know, but I love
spending time there, like
1412
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,440
especially with people.
What is, I mean like when you go
1413
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:28,960
to these places, what do you,
what's culturally like these
1414
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:29,960
places that stand out to you,
man?
1415
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:36,600
That's a good question because I
can vibe with a lot of different
1416
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:42,000
cultures because I'm so
genuinely interested in learning
1417
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,440
about them.
Yeah.
1418
01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:51,560
That, that, you know, like in
Japan, I love how reserved they
1419
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:55,360
are to certain extent and how
they have so much education and
1420
01:13:55,360 --> 01:14:00,720
respect for people versus going
to a country where not
1421
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,840
necessarily that there's no
respect, but they're a little
1422
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,280
bit more open, right?
And a little bit more like going
1423
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:09,880
East Europe.
That was, that was kind of
1424
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,520
interesting to me because it
took some time for me to get
1425
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,240
through people and start talking
to them.
1426
01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:19,480
But once I did, oh man, it was
like, oh, OK, OK.
1427
01:14:19,480 --> 01:14:23,000
There's like, no, almost like I,
I didn't, there was like no wall
1428
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,000
or anything.
Kind of like, you know, to be
1429
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:26,600
able to, for, for us to
communicate.
1430
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,520
But it was very interesting
because in the Dr. like I
1431
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,280
mentioned before, it's instant.
I mean, you get off the airplane
1432
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:34,600
and you're already joking
around.
1433
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,280
Being professional is like a
great mixture of all that.
1434
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:39,760
So it's really hard for me to
pick one place where I
1435
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:44,560
culturally prefer.
You know, right, yeah, totally,
1436
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,560
totally, totally.
And I guess, I guess, yeah, it's
1437
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,720
a good point.
I about about especially about
1438
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,480
the Eastern Europeans because
they're they're like a rock, you
1439
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:55,920
know, on the surface, you know,
but then it's usually it's
1440
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:59,360
usually like after like once you
get past that rock, it's usually
1441
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:04,320
good humor and loyalty and like,
yeah, you know, and it's cool
1442
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,200
how it how it manifests.
My grandfather is from, was
1443
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:12,640
from, was from Poland and you
know, and he was a tough dude
1444
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,520
and he had like no problem, you
know, being an asshole if he
1445
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:19,080
wanted to be, but he, you know,
but he had such a great sense of
1446
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:22,920
humor and like, you know, and
you never and, and, and I guess
1447
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,880
it's also I guess because these
are like legitimately hard
1448
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,200
places to live, you know, like
whether it's the weather,
1449
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:33,080
whether it's the society,
whatever it is that you have to
1450
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,400
be able to like kind of flip
that serious switch on
1451
01:15:35,480 --> 01:15:38,920
immediately, you know, but like,
I feel like you can't survive
1452
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,520
without that humor either, you
know, like you kind of need like
1453
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,680
a little bit of both of them in
order to really be.
1454
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,480
Successful, completely agree,
man.
1455
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,360
I think that like if everybody
just stays that way, it's just
1456
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,320
it actually is super miserable
to live like that.
1457
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,880
So that you kind of need to
start making some sort of at
1458
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:01,280
least good sense of humor
despite, you know, to be able to
1459
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,400
like at least, you know, enjoy
some things.
1460
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,520
But it was really interesting
because in East Europe, I
1461
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,160
learned so much of the history,
you know, not only from the
1462
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,840
wars, but a lot of the communism
stuff and a lot of like the
1463
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:15,920
straight thinking and the and
the manipulation that they had
1464
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,720
over the people.
It's hard to break away from
1465
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:21,800
that.
You know, you still feel like
1466
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,240
whenever I would go to visit
museums and things like that,
1467
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,080
damn, man, you go in there and
you're like, oh fuck.
1468
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,920
Like you feel how tough that
stuff was during the war and,
1469
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,640
and communism after that and
communism in some Eastern Europe
1470
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:37,960
places were until like the 60s
or 50s.
1471
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:43,360
That's like, that's not that
long ago, you know, And the one
1472
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,760
of the most interesting things
about being able to travel the
1473
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:50,960
world is learning, obviously the
culture, but the history behind
1474
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,600
and all that.
And you start to put some things
1475
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:58,200
together as to personality and
history.
1476
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:03,120
And it's just, it's just very
interesting to know and
1477
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,480
understand because you can,
let's say you're out in Miami
1478
01:17:06,480 --> 01:17:08,160
now and you're somewhere in the
beach.
1479
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:11,360
I don't know.
You meet someone from, I don't
1480
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:12,840
know, Montenegro.
Ukraine.
1481
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:15,840
Or Ukraine or something like
that.
1482
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:20,920
Now it's like you, you have a
deeper knowledge and a deeper,
1483
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,800
deeper level of understanding
that your conversation with that
1484
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,920
person is more.
Sure.
1485
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,120
I guess like in depth.
Maybe not in depth, but more
1486
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,440
like culturally aware.
Yeah, well, I think it isn't
1487
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,880
because you guys are really
speaking more of the, you know,
1488
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,280
you guys really are speaking the
same language at a certain
1489
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,440
point.
I mean, you know, I mean, when
1490
01:17:39,440 --> 01:17:42,080
I'm talking, when you're talking
another pilot, you're speaking
1491
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:43,600
pilot language, you know, like,
yeah.
1492
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:45,920
And even though we're using the
same words, and even though
1493
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,000
you're both, you're both
speaking English, you guys are
1494
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,480
speaking another language
essentially.
1495
01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:52,320
And when you can, when you have
that kind of cultural awareness
1496
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,000
or that historical awareness,
then you can.
1497
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,360
And I think that's really what
it is with a lot of, with a lot
1498
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,360
of people, when you have a hard
time, like quote, UN quote,
1499
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,440
making conversation or you're a
good conversationalist, I think
1500
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:05,560
it just means that you're really
good at being able to put your,
1501
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,440
you know, be able to put
yourself in someone else's
1502
01:18:08,440 --> 01:18:11,320
perspective or understand where
they're coming from and then be
1503
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,520
able to relate to them based on
that, you know, right.
1504
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,160
Yeah.
Completely, but dude, what's it
1505
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:21,880
so so your wife is also a pilot
and when your dad warned you
1506
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,120
back in the day that you're
going to, you know that it's
1507
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,360
going to be hard, you're going
to be traveling missing things.
1508
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,560
Has that, has that, has that,
has that happened?
1509
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,320
How do you guys, how do you
guys, how do you guys work?
1510
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,360
How do you guys maintain your
relationship when you're
1511
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:34,880
traveling so much?
Yeah.
1512
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,360
So, you know, relationship in
the industry is obviously a
1513
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,600
little bit easier in terms of
like understanding each other's
1514
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:45,400
lifestyles and also like what
you can do to manipulate
1515
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,040
scheduling to be able to work
things out, right.
1516
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,840
So my wife, before she was a
pilot, she was actually a flight
1517
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,280
attendant for like 5-6 years
before she made the transition
1518
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,080
to wanting to be a pilot.
And the scheduling was almost
1519
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,960
the same.
So when we met 5 plus years ago,
1520
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,560
it was always a certain
manipulation, mostly on her part
1521
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,240
to change her scheduling to be
able to match mine.
1522
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,120
And that's because with her, she
had more a little bit like more
1523
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,120
of like a flexibility with her
schedule rather than mine.
1524
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:23,160
Mine was a little bit more like
locked in terms of the flying
1525
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,720
that they needed me to do.
With her, she was able to trade
1526
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:30,680
trips and do things easier.
So it kind of accustomed to be
1527
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,520
her trading and changing her
schedule around mine.
1528
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,840
And still to this day, like now
as a captain, it's a junior
1529
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:38,680
captain.
I'm on, I'm on, I'm on call.
1530
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,960
So I can't really change my
days, but she can.
1531
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,560
She's on call as well.
But her company is smaller.
1532
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,600
So they're able to work with
each person individually and be
1533
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,280
able to do these trades and
things like that.
1534
01:19:48,480 --> 01:19:53,080
So what we'll do is we will
either try to match working days
1535
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:58,840
and match off days together.
If we can't match certain days
1536
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:03,600
off or working together, then if
I get like a cool layover, I'll
1537
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:07,280
I'll try to bring her and she
can come on my layover and spend
1538
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:12,400
some time with her.
If she gets a certain layover.
1539
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,640
Sometimes they're not like long
enough.
1540
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,840
So it's sometimes it's not worth
for me to like be able to go and
1541
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,400
spend more time flying than like
in the actual layover.
1542
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,480
So.
You know, we just, we just make
1543
01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:28,160
it work on our on our office,
but we generally see each other
1544
01:20:29,440 --> 01:20:34,560
like 15 days out of the month,
16 days out of the month more.
1545
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:35,080
Wow.
Yeah.
1546
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,840
Yeah.
More 15, yeah, like 15 to like
1547
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,240
15 to 20 days out of the month.
How often do you guys fly have
1548
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,680
the same like route that you're
flying to the same place or
1549
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:44,120
almost?
Never.
1550
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:45,840
No, not at all.
Never.
1551
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:46,920
Never.
Where did she go?
1552
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,960
If you, if you think about, if
you think about this, let's say
1553
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:54,120
if somebody who works from 9:00
to 5:00, yeah.
1554
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:57,120
Besides all the other stuff that
they have to do, you only see
1555
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,560
your spouse or the person that
you're with for a couple hours a
1556
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:04,960
day where my wife and I can be
with each other the whole entire
1557
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,480
day because we're both off or.
Yeah.
1558
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,920
Not being called 15 to 20 days a
month, right.
1559
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:14,360
Yeah.
So it's awesome that in that
1560
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:15,720
sense, it's worked out really
well.
1561
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:17,960
It's not always like that
though, and I'm sure it's going
1562
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,240
to change when we have kids.
Yeah, that's going to be a whole
1563
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,400
different, you know, ball game
once we cross that line.
1564
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:30,520
But yeah, the, the, the amount
of quality of time, even if it's
1565
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:35,560
less than somebody who's always
at home is, is still a little
1566
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,720
bit different.
Yeah, I imagine for sure, for
1567
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,000
sure.
I mean, I listen, I think that's
1568
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,760
part of the, the beauty of a
relation of relationships in
1569
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,920
general, is that as long as you
guys are speaking each other's
1570
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:47,520
languages, then it's OK.
You know, then, then, then,
1571
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,440
then, then it's all great.
Like my wife and I spend an
1572
01:21:50,440 --> 01:21:53,920
enormous amount of time
together, or at least within the
1573
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,280
same vicinity of one another.
You know, like, you know, I'm
1574
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,280
work from home and, you know,
she, you know, she, she's
1575
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,400
working part time at the moment,
but she just had, we just had a
1576
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:02,640
kid two months ago.
So she's.
1577
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,200
Congrats.
She's been around.
1578
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:05,360
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
1579
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,680
Dude, this is my there's #2 it's
fucking wild, dude.
1580
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,640
Wow.
I can't even begin to tell you,
1581
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,040
man.
And there's, there's really no
1582
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:17,640
words, but yeah, except for
chaos.
1583
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:21,560
But it's amazing.
It's a love and it's chaos.
1584
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,720
That's the two words that I
would put there.
1585
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,040
But yeah.
But yeah, we spend a lot of time
1586
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,640
together and then but a lot of
times we'll be like, even though
1587
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:33,680
we've been in the same house
together for 10 hours, you know,
1588
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:34,720
I haven't, I barely spoke to
her.
1589
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,560
You know, I've been working,
I've been doing a podcast.
1590
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,840
I work for a jog.
I go, you know, I, I, you know,
1591
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,000
she, she, you know, she has to
run, you know, she runs out.
1592
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,480
She, she goes to cut, you know,
she goes to see a patient or she
1593
01:22:43,480 --> 01:22:45,880
goes to, you know, practice, you
know, doing a couple of
1594
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,160
ultrasounds and like, and then
we look at each other like we've
1595
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:50,720
been together all day, but I
feel like I haven't seen you or
1596
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:52,880
spoken to you all day.
So like, it's all about, you
1597
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,960
know, I think it's all just
about like the ability to
1598
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:56,680
communicate.
That's what I've noticed is just
1599
01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,440
like, and yeah, and, and
communicating the hard stuff is,
1600
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:03,880
is also important because and,
and figure out how to phrase it
1601
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,320
like, yeah, you know, she's had
to like, you know, I've been
1602
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:09,880
travelling a bunch recently back
and forth to Florida and I was
1603
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:13,200
again like I was in Israel and
Amsterdam and I had like 10
1604
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,000
hours in Barcelona, which I
thought was really cool.
1605
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:21,280
But you know, and, and then she
said to me, he's like, I just
1606
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:23,240
feel like she's like, I don't
want to say this, like, I don't
1607
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:24,800
want you.
I'm not trying to start a fight.
1608
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,720
I'm not trying to get you upset.
Just like, I just feel like we
1609
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:28,720
haven't like had much of a
relationship recently.
1610
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,160
And like, just like, and just
the preface with A, I'm not
1611
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,600
starting, I'm not trying to
fight and B, this is how I feel.
1612
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,440
What, you know, what do you
think about that?
1613
01:23:39,480 --> 01:23:42,640
You know, it, it, it was, it was
almost open-ended and it was an
1614
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:47,000
invitation to, to collaborate
again, as opposed to, you know,
1615
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:48,840
some kind of some kind of
conflict.
1616
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:53,120
And I feel like that took time
for us to figure out, but since
1617
01:23:53,440 --> 01:23:57,160
we have, it's been crucial.
That's good.
1618
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,800
And I mean, at least the line of
communication is there, which is
1619
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,160
the hardest part, right?
Sometimes what is it that I'm
1620
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,680
trying to communicate is hard,
right?
1621
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,120
Cuz you sometimes you can't even
put into words what you're
1622
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:10,880
actually.
Trying to.
1623
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:14,040
What you're feeling, right?
And, and, and, and it takes a
1624
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,560
certain level of, I guess,
experience and time in a
1625
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,480
relationship to be able to
communicate that with your
1626
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:25,560
partner effectively, right?
Because then we misinterpret
1627
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,160
what the other person's trying
to say and then it goes out from
1628
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:29,640
there, right?
But it happens like stuff like
1629
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,200
that happens all the time.
But that's nice though.
1630
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,080
It's nice that you know, you
guys at least you can able get
1631
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,800
that line of communication out
and then work on it from there,
1632
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,920
which is which is huge man,
that's amazing.
1633
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:44,880
Yeah, definitely.
Are you a UFC fan with all your
1634
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,480
with all your training and all
your working out?
1635
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,640
Yeah, no, I I definitely love
it.
1636
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,880
I got more into UFC within the
past two years, so I don't
1637
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:53,520
really know.
Like.
1638
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:58,360
All, all of them.
But you know me from martial
1639
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:04,600
arts I I love more of like the
discipline, self-defense aspect
1640
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,720
of it.
I'm not in it to go in and fight
1641
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,480
people.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
1642
01:25:09,480 --> 01:25:13,000
Me, I'm just, I just do it
because I really love it.
1643
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,800
And if something were to ever
happen, I at least have tools
1644
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:17,320
that I can help.
Sure.
1645
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,640
Self-defense.
You know my family and I.
1646
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:25,680
Yeah, yeah, I cuz I've been what
do you I think that I think
1647
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,440
Taporia is going to murder
Olivera this weekend.
1648
01:25:28,440 --> 01:25:32,240
I'm a little and I'm a little
sad about it, man, but I, I this
1649
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,040
guy.
I know I love Olivera.
1650
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:38,080
He's he's such a great team
player like in terms of like
1651
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,360
respect to the other team and
his own team and his opponent.
1652
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,760
I think it's it's wonderful.
He's like one of the most loved
1653
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,280
people in the UFC.
But Ilya, it's also a man.
1654
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,440
I I love that.
I love the way that guy fights.
1655
01:25:49,440 --> 01:25:51,640
He's.
Dude I love the way he fights.
1656
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,680
I think he's much younger though
than Olivera I think.
1657
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,920
He is and he's going to knock
his head off dude.
1658
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,120
I think, I really think so.
I think he cuz I heard him, I
1659
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,480
heard him on Rogan and he said
he usually walks around I think
1660
01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:08,080
at like 185 and he, he was
fighting at 1:45.
1661
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,920
He's like to not have to lose
that extra 10 lbs.
1662
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,920
He goes, I'm going to, he goes
and maybe he's lying.
1663
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,120
Maybe, you know, maybe he's
making it up.
1664
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,600
I don't know how this kind of
stuff works, dude, but I would
1665
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,040
love to see him when I would
love to see him be a family.
1666
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:24,520
What was it?
Flyweight, featherweight,
1667
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:26,720
lightweight and middle weight
champ, dude.
1668
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,120
I want him to beat everyone,
man.
1669
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,480
I'm I'm rooting for him.
I know, me too.
1670
01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:33,440
I, I, it's gonna be a real it's,
it's in June, right?
1671
01:26:33,440 --> 01:26:36,160
June 28th or July?
No, it's this weekend.
1672
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:37,080
It's.
This weekend.
1673
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:38,240
OK, Yeah, this.
Weekend.
1674
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:39,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you gonna be?
1675
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:40,440
Are you gonna be?
Are you gonna be?
1676
01:26:40,440 --> 01:26:42,160
Are you gonna be flying this?
Weekend.
1677
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:43,880
Yeah, I'm on call.
So I don't, I don't know,
1678
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:48,280
usually like they'll let me know
3-2 to three hours before I
1679
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,240
gotta go fly.
They're like, I don't, I don't
1680
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:51,880
know where I'm going.
I don't know what time I'm
1681
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,040
going.
I just know that my schedule
1682
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,880
starts at 7:00 in the morning on
certain days and at 7:00 in the
1683
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,600
morning, they can call me all
the way up to 7:00 PM at night.
1684
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:01,040
And I.
Know where I'm going?
1685
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,680
Yeah, I don't know where I'm
going.
1686
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:04,120
I don't know how many flights
I'm doing.
1687
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,480
I don't know any of that but.
Wow, does that change as you, as
1688
01:27:08,480 --> 01:27:09,960
you, as you go through your
career?
1689
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,560
Yeah, as you get more senior,
you're start to be able to pick.
1690
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,560
Oh, OK, No longer am I in
reserve.
1691
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,800
I can, you know, fly four day
trips if I want, then three
1692
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,720
days.
So the most lucrative is like
1693
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:25,000
2/2 day trips.
And it takes, it's probably
1694
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,920
gonna take me years, like
probably like 10 years to get
1695
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:29,560
there.
Yeah, well, we'll get there.
1696
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,560
But dude, I, I love being
alcohol, right.
1697
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:34,320
One, the, the element of
surprise, like where you're
1698
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:35,920
going.
And a lot of the times it's
1699
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,880
easier trips than actual trips
that you can bid for in the
1700
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:43,520
beginning of the month.
And sometimes you end up doing
1701
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:48,040
trips that are awesome and your
seniority cannot hold it if you
1702
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,280
were to request it in the
beginning of the month, right?
1703
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,240
Because let's say, I don't know,
a captain called out sick and
1704
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,680
it's all of a sudden it's like a
24 hour Punta Cana lay over you.
1705
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,720
Like my God, I could have, I
wouldn't seen this in years.
1706
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,120
But guess what?
I'm all called a new.
1707
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,560
Let's go.
Dude, such a freaking great
1708
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:08,960
attitude about it.
Seriously, because I I, it's
1709
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,520
because I could, you could, I
could, I could imagine a million
1710
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,800
different conversations with a
million different people where
1711
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:17,440
they would be like, yeah, you
know, I wasn't sure, you know,
1712
01:28:17,440 --> 01:28:19,320
you know, I wasn't sure where I
was going to go.
1713
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,040
And I was like, I have to go
back to there again.
1714
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,360
I have to go back to Colombia
and I like right, right.
1715
01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:26,040
I love enthusiasm, dude.
I really, I think that I think
1716
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:27,760
that that's what makes the
difference between a successful
1717
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,760
ultimately career or, you know,
satisfying, you know, life than
1718
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,560
than not is to have that kind of
attitude.
1719
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:39,120
I will say this though, the hard
part about this scheduling and
1720
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:45,200
the attitude is knowing that
man, you're doing something at
1721
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,960
home and you're busy and you
don't think you're gonna get
1722
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,280
called.
And then all of a sudden they
1723
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:53,040
call you and you're in the
middle of a project, you're in
1724
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,840
the middle of something and
you're like, fuck, like I was
1725
01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:01,600
not expecting to get called.
Like damn it, right for like for
1726
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,400
like a minute it you're just
like, come on, like why do they
1727
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:07,120
have to call out sick?
Or why did this?
1728
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:08,680
Why did that?
Like are you kidding?
1729
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:13,440
And then, like you, you process.
It and you got to do you got.
1730
01:29:13,480 --> 01:29:14,640
To do you got to do what you got
to do.
1731
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,040
And like this trip is not too
bad.
1732
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:19,120
And honestly my wife is like
dude, you need to stop
1733
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:23,000
complaining when you get a trip.
But The thing is, is like, if I
1734
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,560
wasn't busy with something else,
I wouldn't because like, I'm a
1735
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,960
task person, man.
I I don't, I don't want to leave
1736
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:30,880
shit undone, right?
Yeah.
1737
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,080
So like if I'm in the middle of
something and they call me, I'm
1738
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:37,320
like, what bothers me is that I
can't finish what I started.
1739
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:39,640
Not that they called me.
I'm just bothered that I'm
1740
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,240
interrupted.
Yeah.
1741
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:44,000
Well, do you ever get called in
the middle of like a fight?
1742
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,120
Like if you ever like big ring
with your wife or anything like
1743
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,080
that, do you get called and
you're like, no shit, I got to
1744
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:49,120
go.
I have.
1745
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:54,160
I have been called in the middle
of of like MMA training.
1746
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:55,400
Oh really?
Yeah.
1747
01:29:55,480 --> 01:29:56,400
Oh yeah.
Shit.
1748
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,120
I got around.
I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, I'm
1749
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,800
rolling with someone.
And then like phone rings and
1750
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:03,400
I'm like, oh, shit.
And then it's like, you got to
1751
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:05,680

1753
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:14,280

Train on the road, huh?
1754
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,040
Do you train on the road?
Like do you roll on the road if
1755
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,120
you're, if you're traveling, if
you go to Japan or anything like
1756
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:20,720

you know, like, OK, like, I've
rolled in like 50 different
1766
01:30:44,480 --> 01:30:48,480

can probably run so much, you
1768
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:53,440

00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,000
Levy, I saw you on his Instagram
story, you know that he was,
7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,520
that he had just either trained
with you or adjusted you.
8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,080
And I went to your Instagram
page and I was like, this guy
9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,440
looks so fucking cool.
I got, I want to do a podcast
10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,360
with him.
So I hit up, so I hit up guy and
11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,040
I'm like, yo, who's who's that
dude?

00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,080
he's awesome.
You'd love him.
14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Let me set, let me set up the
introduction.
15
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:52,760
And you just you, dude, you
your, your, your life seems
16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,480
awesome, man.
It seems like it seems like
17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,520
you're pursuing all your
passions and you're kind of
18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,960
making them happen.
You want to tell us a little bit
19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,880
about who you are?
Yeah, man.
20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,319
Well, thank you for that.
It it's truly a blessing to be
21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,360
able to, you know, accomplish
and fulfill my dreams and live,
22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,480
you know, the the life that I've
been dreaming as a child.
23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,160
But yeah, no, I'm everybody.
My family are aviators, so it
24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,880
was kind of my blood to be a
pilot.
25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,600
It was just second nature to me
to do everything that has to do
26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,600
with flying and you know, going
through flight school and
27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,400
everything, it was just so like,
you know, when you have a smart
28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,640
person in class and you're like,
how do you understand everything
29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,960
so easily?
That's kind of like how I felt
30
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,560
in flight school.
Of course I had my challenges
31
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,000
and everything, but it was just
that one natural thing that I'm
32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,320
like, wow, this is like so cool
to be experiencing.
33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,440
And, you know, I never really
thought a bit about it in terms
34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,840
of, you know, like this is the
best job in the world.
35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,960
It was just something I was so
passionate about until I finally
36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,320
got in the airplane and, and
like I at this stage in my
37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,320
career now, I'm like, damn, this
is the best job in the world.
38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Like for me at least, you know,
and you know, that's, that's
39
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,720
basically how, why I can say
like at least career wise, you
40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,280
know, I'm, I'm, I'm living my
dream on that.
41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,759
So, but it, you know, I started
off when I was very little and
42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560
just seeing my dad leave like
for flights and things like
43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,280
that.
He back in the day in the early
44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,440
90s, he was able to take me in
the flight, take in an
45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,240
international airline that he
flew for.
46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
So that's when the real passion
like sunk in.
47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,200
I was like, what all these, what
all these buttons do?
48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,920
Like why is there so many
lights?
49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
And just like, you know,
aviation back then was just way
50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,400
different, way, way different
than what it is now.
51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,600
And yeah, how's that kind of
like, well, in terms of like
52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,240
technology, like my dad was
flying an airplane at the time
53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,680
where you needed 3 pilots in in
the in the cockpit.
54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120
So you needed a captain and a
first officer and a flight
55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,880
engineer.
Nowadays, there's no more flight
56
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,800
engineer.
So a lot of that stuff on that
57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,920
panel that the flight engineer
used to do, like switch
58
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,440
electrical components to
pneumatic air and where is it
59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,840
going?
Where's it coming from?
60
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,080
All that stuff now can be
handled with two pilots based on
61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,920
the design of the flight deck.
So it's, it's a little bit
62
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,880
different nowadays and the
technology is just absolutely
63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,520
insane with how airplanes
operate now and the redundant
64
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840
systems that they have.
It's it's really fascinating.
65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,920
I'm excited to hear all about
this stuff.
66
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,600
When did so your SO your dad?
Your dad is a commercial pilot
67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,680
international.
Yeah, he's Yep, Yep.
68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,440
He's still airline pilot.
Nice.
69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,760
OK, gotcha.
And what what did he say when
70
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,400
you decided to go into it?
Well, my dad first originally
71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440
was like, hey, Are you sure you
want to do this?
72
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Because this job you're a way a
lot from your family.
73
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,600
You're going to miss birthdays,
you're going to miss
74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Christmases, you're going to
miss a lot of these important
75
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,000
things.
And you, I just want you to have
76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320
all the details before you make
this decision.
77
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,120
He was like, Are you sure you
don't want to be like an
78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,760
engineer or something?
And I did, I tried, I tried to
79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,680
do engineering, but I always
wanted to be a pilot.
80
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,880
I tried engineering as a backup
just in case.
81
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,480
I didn't really like the
lifestyle of being a pilot,
82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,280
which I, yeah, there was no way
I was going to be like, it's
83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,160
very interesting, but being a
pilot I think is way better.
84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Totally, totally, totally.
What's the, what's the, what's
85
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,040
the schooling like?
I have a friend of mine that got
86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,079
AI, have a couple of friends
actually that got their pilot's
87
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,959
license, but I know there's
different degrees of licenses
88
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,680
and I know it's a fortune,
right?
89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Like, I mean, it's like, at
least it was my friend after
90
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,360
Kyle, after undergrad and his
master's, then he went back to
91
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,720
Chicago.
He's from Skokie and it took him
92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,320
like 2 1/2, three years because
you know, he's paying out of
93
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560
pocket and, and paying pay and
getting those flight hours
94
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,840
apparently like to rent those
little planes.
95
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,840
It was very expensive.
And he said he loves him more
96
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,120
than anything in the world.
But he was like, it's like, you
97
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,000
have to be committed to wanting
to do that because it takes time
98
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,560
and it takes a lot of money.
Yeah, yeah, you're 100% correct.
99
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,920
There's a couple ways you can go
about flight school.
100
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,920
You can go to a mom in pop
school.
101
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,640
You can go through a university.
In reality, the licenses don't
102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,760
take you that long.
If you go through a university,
103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,160
you're going to, you're going to
do your full four years and come
104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440
out with the bachelor's of like
aviation science.
105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,520
But it takes no, no, no, I went
to a mom and pop school at I did
106
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,680
it in about like 10-10 months.
To your point where you're
107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,000
saying is like you have to go
consistently because if you
108
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,880
don't then you start losing like
what you learned.
109
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,720
So if you only go once a week,
you can have to repeat that over
110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,440
and over and over again.
What might have taken you a week
111
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,920
to learn, now it's going to take
you two months to learn because
112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,760
you're not going so frequently.
And you know back then there
113
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,240
weren't as many aids financially
for flight school as there is
114
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,200
now.
And that is due to a lot of like
115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,560
the demand, especially you that,
you know, the industry needs
116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,240
right now of pilots.
So certain airlines have created
117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,000
like their own flight school
path program to their airline.
118
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,240
So they offer the financial loan
in the aspect of it out of, at
119
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,720
a, at a lower interest rate than
would be a, a regular personal
120
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,000
loan.
And that's made it a little bit
121
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,600
easier for people to be able to
start fly school.
122
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,120
But you know, before, like
before that, that started maybe
123
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,680
like 5-6 years ago.
Before that when I went to fly
124
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,760
school, there wasn't any of
that.
125
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,440
So your loan was at a personal
loan rate in that super high.
126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960
But but yeah, you know, like I
had a when I was growing up, I
127
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,640
did a lot of savings and, and I
was, you know, working since I
128
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,840
was like 1415 and I saved a lot
of money because I knew that
129
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,120
that's something that I wanted
to do.
130
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,560
My 2 main goals with saving
money was to go to fly school
131
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,040
and buy a house.
So every time I would save, I
132
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,440
dump it all in flight school and
continue.
133
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,800
And I was still working part
time.
134
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,880
I went to FIU for business
administration and I was doing
135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,280
my flight school at the same
time and I was working valet
136
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,640
parking.
So I was trying to pay
137
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,840
everything as I go.
All my savings went into flight
138
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,880
school.
I went from zero, started into
139
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,440
an airline, started saving
again, and then was finally able
140
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,160
to buy a house.
So I I was able to fulfill those
141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680
two objectives of of of my
savings so.
142
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Yeah, it's amazing.
Where'd you buy your house?
143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Where do you live?
Where's your house?
144
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960
It's how it's here in South
Florida.
145
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120
South Florida Cool.
Man, and I love it down here.
146
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,560
I grew up here and I just love
it.
147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,920
It's all my friends, family
primarily.
148
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400
Everybody's here.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
149
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
I've been, I've been in South
Florida for about 3 years now.
150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,480
I've always wanted growing up.
I, I, my, my, my dad is
151
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,320
originally from Miami Beach and
I always wanted, I always said
152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,600
going and we used to visit a
bunch.
153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,880
My grandparents still live
there.
154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,520
And I used to always say I got
to try it out and my wife and I
155
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,760
got married.
I was working remote and she
156
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,720
wasn't, she wasn't sure what
she's going to do with herself
157
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,200
yet.
She's a ultrasound tech now.
158
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,120
But we're like, you know, we can
go anywhere in the world.
159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,440
And we're both from New York and
we're like, let's just, let's
160
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,920
head to Florida.
You know, you just, you know,
161
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400
like right after a week after a
wedding, we just loaded up our
162
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,240
car with whatever clothes we had
and we just drove down and I
163
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,120
figured it out.
Damn spontaneous, I love that.
164
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Nice.
Yeah.
165
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,280
You know, it's not it's, I mean,
you know, I, we, it was, it was,
166
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,160
it was cool.
And I've already moved, you
167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,240
know, so like probably 5 or 6
different times in my life to
168
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,920
completely unknown places that,
you know, I knew that South
169
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,200
Florida was something that, you
know, is pretty, pretty
170
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,440
manageable as far as as far as
lifestyle, you know, it's I love
171
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,520
being down here.
So, so you were working that you
172
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,120
were working in school and what
you're saving is saving the
173
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,679
money that you were making at
this point.
174
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:39,320
And you started working at 14,
you said?
175
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,720
Yeah.
That's crazy.
176
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,080
That's crazy.
Did your did your, did your
177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,360
family encourage it?
Do you think you you said, you
178
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,720
know, you just knew that you had
to and like how are you so
179
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,560
driven at that age?
Man, that's a really good
180
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:55,520
question.
I, it was all like initiated by
181
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,200
me.
I was telling my parents like,
182
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,680
Hey, I want to work.
I want to make my own.
183
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,920
Like, I wanted to be as
independent as I could from as
184
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,840
young as I could.
And nothing that, you know, that
185
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,120
doesn't influence the, the, the
relationship with my parents or
186
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,520
anything.
They're always very supportive
187
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880
of, of what I would, you know,
try to do.
188
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600
But I always wanted to be like,
Hey, I don't really want to be
189
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080
using your money.
I want to make my own money, you
190
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,760
know, and, and then my first job
was working at the YMCA taking
191
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,840
care of like kids, other parents
want to go work out.
192
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,880
And you know, I made some really
good friendships there.
193
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,880
I actually met one of the first
initial personal trainers or the
194
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,240
person who helped me train
introduce me to fitness through
195
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,880
that and it and it all just like
went from there.
196
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,000
I went to work at a different
gym after that and then it all
197
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,920
and I ended up working for who
is now Tony Robbins personal
198
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,760
trainer.
Like things like that.
199
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,200
It's, it's just, you know, that
whole wanting to work, I've
200
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280
always had to like really great
work ethic.
201
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760
My parents were always like, no,
you need to focus on school And
202
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,080
and I of course I definitely
needed to, but I just always
203
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,960
thought I can handle both and
you know, I did.
204
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,040
But yeah, a lot of that, a lot
of that self was self driven.
205
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:10,160
To.
That's awesome.
206
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Start making money, yeah.
That's awesome.
207
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,680
Can I ask how many siblings you
have?
208
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,760
1.
Younger one sibling, younger
209
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,160
sister.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
210
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600
Did you?
So you, you feel like you're
211
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040
like the protective one or like,
you know, like you kind of had
212
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,880
to like be your own man and make
your own way?
213
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,080
Because that's how I kind of
like I'm the oldest too.
214
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,000
I mean, I'm the oldest at like
6, but I've always felt like as
215
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,320
an older, as an older sibling
also, I kind of felt that
216
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,320
similar guilt, although I
probably started feeling it a
217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,520
little like probably closer to
17 or 18, you know, like, hey,
218
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,880
like maybe everything I do
shouldn't be in my parents time,
219
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,680
you know, And you know, maybe I
maybe it's time to start kind of
220
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,520
building my own skill set and
kind of doing my own thing and
221
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,960
like, you know, really making my
own way.
222
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,840
But but I always felt that kind
of, you know, leadership or, you
223
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,880
know, sense of responsibility
just from being an older
224
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,480
sibling, you know?
Yeah, no, that's a, that's a
225
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,200
really great observation.
I never really felt it from a
226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,080
siblings perspective, just
because I knew that like, you
227
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,080
know, my, my parents would be
able to support my sister and I
228
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,280
in whatever education we wanted
to pursue or, or something like
229
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,840
that.
And, you know, having the
230
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,120
possibilities to live in the
United States and the amount of
231
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,120
possibilities that there is here
is, is something that I wasn't
232
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,680
really too much, I guess felt
pressured by to initiate my own
233
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,240
building of skill sets.
But yeah, you know, my sister,
234
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,480
my sister was the same.
She was like, hey, I I want to
235
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,160
start building my own skill set,
But she focused a lot more on
236
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,280
the education part.
She's in the in, in the health
237
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,320
industry.
So she she spent a lot of her
238
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,160
time studying and studying real
hard.
239
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,560
You know how that industry is
everybody that's just studying
240
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:52,240
night and day.
So, so yeah, man, I think, I
241
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,680
think it's a really good
observation, but it maybe I got
242
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,640
to give it some more thought and
see if that influenced.
243
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,440
The yeah, maybe, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
244
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,640
You never know what you
discover, you know, so you got
245
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,600
so you're super so so you're
into you're into flying, you're
246
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080
into fitness.
You started working out, you
247
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,160
know, you started, you started,
you know, I guess getting
248
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,560
introduced this at 1415, which
is probably one of the best
249
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,120
things you could do at that
point in your life.
250
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,720
I see that you fight.
I saw, I saw that you're when
251
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,160
when you're away from your black
belt.
252
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,160
Yes.
In which martial art?
253
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,080
It's actually in Krav Maga.
Nice.
254
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,880
The school is a mixed martial
arts school, but the main
255
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,640
self-defense that we learn is
Krav Maga.
256
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,040
Gotcha.
Yeah, I just started rolling
257
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,200
jujitsu a couple months ago.
Guy also, I did a podcast.
258
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,920
I did my podcast with Guy.
I told him that I wanted to
259
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,240
start because I heard that he
did MMA and he's like, dude, you
260
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,960
got to come to where I work.
They have an awesome gym and the
261
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,640
coaches there are awesome.
And I was, you know, I mean,
262
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,440
I'm, I'm almost 30, you know, to
start, to start this for the
263
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,480
first time and you're almost 30
was, was, was pretty terrifying,
264
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,240
but it was the best thing in the
entire world, man.
265
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Like just just getting that
adrenaline and kind of like
266
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,360
facing that, you know, a, that
fear of confrontation, but also
267
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,480
kind of learning in real time
how to slow everything down and
268
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120
to just, you know, think about
your individual body parts and
269
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,560
components and, and let's, and
after doing that, I've kind of
270
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,560
felt that I've had a much easier
time in the last couple of
271
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,720
months, even with sales and work
and business and even my own
272
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,480
personal life, like my
relationship with my wife and
273
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,480
like my kids.
You kind of look for your own
274
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,880
ways to solve issues because
you're spending so much time
275
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,440
with no one there to help you
except for yourself, you know,
276
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,760
and, and, and this person that's
sitting on top of you that knows
277
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,320
way more than you do about
anything.
278
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,000
And you know, and it encourage
you, encourages you to, you
279
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,840
know, figure out how to, how to
ask questions and how to learn
280
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,440
and how to figure out, you know,
when you're in a tough spot,
281
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,520
tough spot and you're thinking
of quitting, you know, what else
282
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,040
can you do?
And it's kind of a mindset.
283
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,880
I feel like it translates over
to everything that you do, you
284
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,600
know?
I agree.
285
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,520
That was beautifully said man.
And it's just like you can
286
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,240
transition what you learn from
martial arts into real life.
287
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,960
Just like how you said, it
improves a lot of your ability
288
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,960
to think of being resourceful,
right?
289
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,080
Just like how you said, if
you're in a situation where
290
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,960
you're stuck, like I started jiu
jitsu as well and in, in, in a
291
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,600
separate gym.
And there's times where I'm
292
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,680
like, man, I don't know how to
get out of this.
293
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,680
If I just give up, what what's
going to come out of that?
294
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,160
But if you start thinking, you
slow down your breathing, you
295
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,360
slow down everything and you're
like, OK, I have a little bit of
296
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,680
time even though I'm super
tired, I'm exhausted.
297
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,920
Do I have about a second or two
to think, how can I get out of
298
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,320
this?
Even if it's just not probably
299
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,440
not the right way to do it, you
still do it.
300
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,440
And that is teaching you, hey,
still try attempt to do
301
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,040
something because you never know
what else it can lead you to.
302
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,200
Maybe you, maybe that movement
gets that person out of the
303
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
perfect situation to get you in
some sort of choke or
304
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,920
everything.
Now you have space, right?
305
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,760
And that little amount of space
is enough for you to throw the
306
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,000
other person off or get out.
And, and, and it's just like
307
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,280
that, like mentally every day we
go through things that we're
308
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,080
constantly thinking about.
We're overloaded with
309
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,280
information daily.
And then we just get to a point
310
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,520
where we're like, oh shit, I
can't even think straight right
311
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,840
now for something that it really
matters.
312
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,600
And that's when you really have
to focus and be like, right,
313
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,320
this does matter.
And that's the same situation
314
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,400
when you're like pinned down,
how do I get out mentally?
315
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,000
It's the same thing, you know
what I'm saying?
316
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,080
So it teaches you that.
And I think it's, I think it's
317
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,760
fantastic.
That's what I love about martial
318
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,120
arts.
Yeah, yeah.
319
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,480
And I think that, I think that
one of the points you just said,
320
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,920
I think that is really, really
valuable is when you're stuck to
321
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,600
give yourself a second to
breathe and to not like like
322
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,720
that second of like, that's like
one thing that someone was
323
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,160
teaching me the other day.
I went back, I went back and I,
324
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,880
I, I had like you were talking
even about like the flight
325
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,720
school have muscle memory.
And the more time you spend
326
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,600
practicing, the more that you
know it, it really becomes
327
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,760
ingrained in you.
I've done this, I've done
328
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,240
jujitsu for like a month and
change.
329
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,440
And I went on a two week break,
which is the worst thing to do.
330
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,360
I come back and I just felt like
my entire body was just out of
331
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,280
sorts, right?
And I was totally disconnected.
332
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,480
And I'm talking, you know, I'm
asking a guy that's obviously,
333
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,920
you know, phenomenal, you know,
way better than I am.
334
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,520
And, you know, we're rolling and
he goes, So what are you going
335
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,640
to, you know, what can I do?
He's like, dude, you're rushing
336
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,800
everything.
He's like one step at a time.
337
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,040
There's no rush if you're in a
fight, like think just like, you
338
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,120
know, like be aware, like, you
know, like I your instinct is
339
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,040
like to like flood your brain,
you know, just to like rush at
340
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,960
something or to like, you know,
move as fast as you can.
341
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,320
And I've actually noticed that
that's with a lot of things I
342
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,800
noticed also, I'm a huge music
fan, right?
343
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,320
And some of the best singers and
some of the best covers, some of
344
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,040
the best songs that I've heard
performed are just done slowly.
345
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,319
And then, and then when
someone's nervous, I don't know
346
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,280
if you're, you know, when
someone's nervous, they speed up
347
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,560
what they're saying, they talk
faster, They, they, they, they
348
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,760
sing faster, they play faster.
There's something to be said
349
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,640
about the art of just slowing
everything down.
350
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,119
And that's a breathing helps, I
guess.
351
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,800
But you know, but I, but if you
can, you know, when you start
352
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359
implementing that into one part
of your life, like with training
353
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,120
or rolling, and then you and you
know, and then you move on and
354
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,160
you go back to, you know, your
house and you got to, again,
355
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,680
this happened to me all the
time.
356
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,120
I got work calls from upset
customers.
357
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:39,640
I sell medical equipment, right?
And if they're upset, you know,
358
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,200
my initial reaction is to panic
like, and I like, dude, what are
359
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,440
you panicking for?
They're probably just as nervous
360
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840
to be confronting you as you
are, as you are dealing with
361
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,320
them.
Just take a breath, have a
362
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,120
conversation with them, show
them you understand what they're
363
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:55,720
thinking, show them understand
where they're coming from and
364
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,800
see how you go work it out.
And like, and, and every single
365
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,680
time I've done that since then,
and this is, you know, just
366
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,800
something that I've learned from
rolling, you know, every single
367
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,240
time I've done that since then,
it's really, really changed the
368
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,240
dynamic of my, you know, you
know, in terms of my ability to
369
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,280
be a salesman and like, you
know, a businessman.
370
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,040
Yeah.
And don't, don't, don't you find
371
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,680
that in that moment where you
are in that situation, it
372
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,320
actually instead of becoming
more stressful, it becomes more
373
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,960
enjoyable because you have a
different outlook on it, right?
374
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,600
I think, I think if you can
enjoy those certain times in
375
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,160
your job, it makes the quality
of time in your job a whole lot
376
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,520
better.
Would you, would you agree with
377
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,840
that or?
Yeah, for sure, man.
378
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,360
I mean, imagine, I mean, if your
entire job is, you know, afraid
379
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,200
to answer the phone because you
don't want that, you don't know
380
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,120
the other person on the other
end of the phone is going to be
381
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,520
saying to you, you know, that's
a pretty miserable way to live.
382
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,720
If you take, if you answer that,
if you answer the phone like
383
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160
you're collaborating with
someone, it's a totally
384
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,120
different experience, you know,
and, and as I go with everything
385
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:00,440
in life, you know, like even
most conflicts I've realized are
386
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,840
just an exam are just people
trying to emphasize their points
387
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,000
and feel like they're not heard.
Like that's like 95% of the
388
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,640
conflicts that out that out, you
know, personal business,
389
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,600
whatever.
It's like if you, I've noticed
390
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,240
that if I just tell people like,
if I'm able to repeat to them
391
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,080
what their concern is and say, I
totally understand where you're
392
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,920
coming from.
And I'm, you know, and, and
393
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,200
this, this and this, and here's
where I'm coming from.
394
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,480
That's why, that's why, you
know, that's why I said what I
395
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,240
said or I did what I did.
And I'm sorry about the
396
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,240
miscommunication.
There's something there.
397
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,000
There's nothing there to argue
with, you know, like, and then
398
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240
it just turns into, and then it
just turns into collaboration.
399
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,040
I think it's awesome.
So tell me dude, a little bit
400
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,920
about so so you so you finished
flight school and you've been
401
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,840
flying for how how long you been
flying for now?
402
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,440
Let's see, eight years now,
2014.
403
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,720
And do you and do you have a
commercial license?
404
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,120
Do you have a what kind of?
What kind of planes do you fly?
405
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,360
Yeah.
So I have what's called an
406
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,960
airline transport pilot license,
and that's basically after your
407
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:03,120
commercial and you have built
enough hours to qualify for this
408
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:07,320
license, you can fly for
airlines pretty much.
409
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:13,160
So I fly, yeah, I fly for
American Airlines and I am on
410
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,040
the Boeing 737.
No way, really.
411
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,520
Yeah, 737 is international.
That's the one that they take
412
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,240
internationally.
We so we do some international.
413
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,320
So our route, my routes
primarily are Caribbean, South
414
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480
America and Central America.
South America we don't go so
415
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,200
deep.
The lowest or the most S that we
416
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,880
go is probably like Keto or
Guayaquil in Ecuador, but we do
417
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,800
a lot of Colombia, we do a lot
of Central America like
418
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama,
Honduras, El Salvador.
419
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,000
On the Caribbean side, we go to
almost every island that there
420
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
is in the Caribbean.
And then we do a lot of domestic
421
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,840
stuff.
That plane carries about 172
422
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,200
passengers depending on the
configuration that we have.
423
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,640
We have the Ng and also the Max,
the 737 Max, so either 1, the
424
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,680
Max has a little bit more range
and it's also a lot more fuel
425
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,200
efficient.
So most of the time that we go
426
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:17,480
South towards Ecuador, we
normally take the Max and the
427
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,880
next step up after that, the one
that goes like really Far East
428
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,960
or West is you're looking at the
Boeing 777 or the 787 that's on
429
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,880
the Boeing side.
We, our airline only has those
430
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,880
in terms of like what we call
wide body aircraft, but Airbus
431
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
also has what's called wide body
aircraft and you'll see a lot of
432
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,200
them being used by like Delta
and United as well and they're
433
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,120
the Airbus A-350, the Airbus
A330.
434
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Those are wide body aircraft too
that you know do that long range
435
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,520
kind of flying as well.
Right, right, right.
436
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,360
But so what's the, what's the
new Dreamliner like?
437
00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:01,560
I just flew to Israel and to
Amsterdam and, and I mean
438
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,040
obvious, listen, I, I, I, I get
a little nervous flying.
439
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,360
I've obviously noticed that the
bigger plane you fly, the less,
440
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:12,320
the, the, the less turbulence
that you experience.
441
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,920
But I've also heard the
turbulence is, is not
442
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,880
necessarily a bad thing.
I, I, my friend that was the
443
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,320
pilot was telling me that a lot
of times pilots fly into
444
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,920
turbulence, into turbulence on
purpose.
445
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Is that true?
I don't know if that's true that
446
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,920
we fly to turbulence and
purpose.
447
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,880
I mean, honestly, I'd rather I'd
rather not.
448
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,720
I'm trying, I'm trying to have
smooth air for the comfort of
449
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,120
everyone, right.
But there are times where it's
450
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,640
pretty much like you are unable
because the air is so disrupted
451
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,000
that we're we're flying in.
You got to remember like up at
452
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,960
altitude, there are there's a
lot of things that affect air in
453
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,320
the transition of a flight.
So when you take off, you're
454
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,240
going.
Through what does?
455
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,240
What effects?
It a lot of things, so wind
456
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,240
effects it pressure effects it
fronts, you know, we see there a
457
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,440
low pressure area or high
pressure area, cold fronts, warm
458
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,520
fronts.
Then you have winds where the
459
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,640
winds coming from, if they're in
the winter, you have jet streams
460
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,400
like all of these things that
push air in different directions
461
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,960
as you're moving cause
turbulence.
462
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:21,720
So turbulence is literally just
the like, not smooth air flow
463
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,280
over the wings.
The air becomes turbulent, it
464
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,440
breaks up, it's in different
directions.
465
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,480
So what happens is over the
wings, the air is not smooth, it
466
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,800
just starts to kind of break
apart a little bit earlier than
467
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,320
than expected on, on a certain
part of the wing.
468
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,680
And what happens with that?
That's where you start feeling
469
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,280
like a little bit of like
shaking.
470
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,160
And you know, some sometimes
you'll feel like a like a kind
471
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,680
of like a big drop.
Those are like pockets of
472
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,520
turbulence that you might get.
But in reality, turbulence is
473
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,640
not, there's different
categories of turbulence.
474
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,560
You have light, moderate,
severe, severe and you know, you
475
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,560
obviously don't want to go
through severe, but if you're
476
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,560
going through a light
turbulence, that's not, you
477
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,400
know, that's nothing that bad.
Airplanes are designed to
478
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:11,080
sustain loads of extreme
turbulence and some, you know,
479
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,960
So what the scary feeling is the
acceleration your body's going
480
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,360
through from being in one
certain area, moving through
481
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:26,240
space to changing the direction
to dropping lower drop or, or
482
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,160
raising up or moving left to
right.
483
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,680
That doesn't feel good in the
body for some people.
484
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:32,800
And that's what's kind of scary,
right?
485
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,760
That sends a message to your
brain saying like, oh, shoot,
486
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,880
what's going on?
Like that's not what we were
487
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,600
feeling right now.
It's the same thing.
488
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Like, I don't know if you've
ever gotten in like go karting
489
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,640
or you gonna like in a really
fast car around a track, the
490
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,640
acceleration and the braking
doesn't, I mean, it doesn't make
491
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,240
you feel good initially.
There's so much difference of
492
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,040
acceleration.
It's almost kind of like the
493
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:01,080
same thing.
But my question to you is, why
494
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,760
do you think that it's better to
fly in bigger planes than in
495
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,040
smaller planes?
Is I've because to me that's
496
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,440
just a mental thing that people
create in their head, that the
497
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,720
bigger that the airplane is,
that the less turbulence they're
498
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,040
going to feel.
Is that?
499
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:18,720
Is that what you think?
Well, yeah, the so I I'm kind of
500
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,320
basing that on it.
So I have yeah, based on that
501
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,840
experience that.
So it's actually funny.
502
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000
So there's there's two, I guess
there's a couple of things that
503
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,120
I'm immediately thinking of,
right.
504
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,400
Number one is I've flown on a
private plane once before from
505
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:41,040
New York to Vegas and the, and
I've and we had a lot more
506
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,000
turbulence on that little plane
than, you know, than I've had,
507
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,640
for example, again, taking that
Dreamliner to, you know, across
508
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,120
the country, across, across the
ocean to Israel or whatever,
509
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:56,520
right.
On the other hand, I also know I
510
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,760
also have, I didn't know this
for a fact, but I kind of just
511
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,080
kind of put it together.
That temperature had a big has a
512
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,160
big impact because I know that
every time I fly back and forth
513
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,880
from South Florida, especially
in the summertime, the 10, you
514
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,280
know, as I guess the humidity
and the heat.
515
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,760
And also I feel like because the
heat in Florida is always almost
516
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,360
feels like it's always about to
like break.
517
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,120
It's always like building and
building and building.
518
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,880
And it doesn't completely break
until like winter again, I
519
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,680
guess, you know, until like
October, November.
520
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,240
But like when you're every
single day, the heat, the
521
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,840
humidity and the heat kind of
build up and build up and build
522
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,600
up.
And I think, and I guess that
523
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,520
causes an impact in the
environment, right?
524
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,640
Like or I guess in the air, but
I just assumed that the bigger
525
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,320
the plane, the more sturdy and
that even, you know, even though
526
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,960
the and I and I guess the more
weight there is, the less thrown
527
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,880
around it's going to get.
That's kind of what I figured.
528
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,160
Does the First of all, you're
100% correct about the
529
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,240
temperature it does affect.
So whenever you're getting into
530
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,600
warmer temperatures and there's
lower pressures, there is
531
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,960
instability of air, right?
Instability of air, meaning like
532
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,240
the air is just not staying, the
air starting to move up in
533
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,320
altitude.
Why?
534
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Because there's less pressure.
And whenever there's less
535
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,160
pressure, particles start to
move up.
536
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,320
And then when particles move up,
they start to lose the
537
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,120
temperature, The temperature
starts to drop.
538
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,280
And what happens is those
particles become a little bit
539
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,440
more dense again.
And then they go through the
540
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,400
cycle that they're going, moving
up and down in between
541
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,200
altitudes.
And that's how you start getting
542
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,120
like unstable air and the build
up of storms.
543
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,520
So imagine if you're if this
you're flying straight
544
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,760
horizontally, right?
You're flying straight and
545
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,200
you're about to pass this area
where there's low pressure and
546
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,400
this air is moving up and down
and you're moving horizontally.
547
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:56,080
So that air that you're moving
horizontally with is now
548
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,120
disrupted because you're now,
because you're now going through
549
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:01,360
an area of air moving up and
down.
550
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:04,640
It's unstable.
So that's one, that's just one
551
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,640
of the many reasons there could
be turbulence.
552
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,680
Let's say you're flying and that
flight that you were going from,
553
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,560
I don't know if it was New York
or Miami to Vegas.
554
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,560
As you're getting closer to
those mountains, air is
555
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,560
disrupted by those mountains,
right?
556
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,320
There's a lot of air flow that
comes from the northwest and
557
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,760
comes down and drops towards the
southeast.
558
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:30,200
If you have opposing winds for
that day for some reason that
559
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,200
are going against it, let's say
like a low, low, sorry, a warm
560
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,200
front is coming up and it's
hitting that high, high pressure
561
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,960
cold front that's coming in.
You have two pieces of massive
562
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,280
air colliding against each
other.
563
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,080
That air is not going to be
smooth.
564
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,640
It's just like opposing each
other.
565
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,640
It's just hitting each other
like that.
566
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,040
So now you're here coming along,
it's nice and smooth and then
567
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,280
bam, you get this like huge
shake on the airplane.
568
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,320
It's because the airflow was
disrupted.
569
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,800
So if you take it, you can't
really compare size of an
570
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,600
airplane in terms of like, I
took an airplane once through
571
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,920
this route and it was small and
I got a lot of turbulence.
572
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,320
And then I went the other route
and it was big.
573
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,480
I got no turbulence because
there's so many outside factors
574
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,480
that affect what makes an
airplane go through turbulence.
575
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,920
Because if you took that same
Dreamliner that you took to
576
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,400
Israel and you go to Vegas on
that same day, that's exact same
577
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,680
flight, you're going to feel the
same exact turbulence.
578
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Maybe, maybe it'll be the
different.
579
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,800
The feeling might be different.
Because yes, size and stability
580
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,920
does affect how much is felt by
the airplane.
581
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,640
But every airplane is built on
three different types of
582
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,160
stability.
You have longitudinal stability,
583
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,960
lateral stability, and vertical
stability.
584
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,440
That means that if the airplane
is flying along nice and smooth
585
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,240
and it gets disrupted, its
ability to return back to that
586
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,760
neutral position, that's what
airplanes are built on.
587
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640
There has to be a certain degree
for airplanes to come back to
588
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,280
neutral.
Without touching it.
589
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,720
It'll take some time, but
without touching, it'll come
590
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,800
back.
Obviously if you do manipulate
591
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,080
the controls and bring it back
to neutral earlier, it's
592
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,800
obviously better, but the
autopilot does that as well.
593
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,560
I never thought of air as like a
thing, you know, like, as like
594
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,760
an object, you know, and it's,
it's so cool to think about, you
595
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,680
know, because, because it's
true.
596
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,360
And, you know, and I, I mean,
and even just the difference, by
597
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,080
the way, and I'm sure you, I'm
sure you've experienced this as
598
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,440
you, as you travel, the
difference between the air in
599
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,960
different locations is just,
yeah, out of this world, dude.
600
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,480
I mean, I, I'm in my parents'
house right now in, you know,
601
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,440
about an hour north of Manhattan
and you know, and even though
602
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,840
it's hot, you know, like the air
in the mountains is just
603
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,560
completely, excuse me, different
air than, than in South Florida,
604
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,680
you know, and it's just a
different world.
605
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,880
And, you know, and I guess I
never really thought of it, but
606
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,520
it's a legitimate like medium.
Like it's a real, it's a real,
607
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,720
it's really, really cool.
Are you, are you nervous about
608
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,080
AI taking over all pilot jobs?
Because I feel like I I keep
609
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,200
you're not nervous.
No, I don't think so.
610
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,560
They actually just came out.
They were trying to do this
611
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,640
whole thing in Europe where
they're trying to size it down
612
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,560
to 1 pilot.
And to me, I think that's
613
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,480
completely stupid because
there's still a lot of things
614
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:25,360
that with AI and with technology
right now, you still cannot, you
615
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,520
still cannot do what 2 pilots
can do in the airplane.
616
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,200
Did you?
Break that down.
617
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Well, it kind of really depends.
I'm not quite sure exactly.
618
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,080
Well, first, in terms of you got
to think about this like you got
619
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,080
to think about the human aspect
and the instinct and perspective
620
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,440
on a situation versus a robot
just doing things based on what
621
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,880
it's programmed to do, right?
The robot, if something wrong
622
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,840
happens, the AI will, you know,
go through like, OK, if this is
623
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,320
wrong, then that's going to
happen if this is going to
624
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,080
happen, right?
But there's the element of human
625
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
interaction and perspective,
right?
626
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,680
An airplane can be like, oh, I
lost both engines, right?
627
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,720
The AI, the AI computer will be
like, OK, we need to shut down.
628
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,160
We need to do a complete
shutdown and we're going to
629
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,320
glide it and land into the
ocean.
630
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,640
OK.
If you have the, there was an
631
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,880
air can or I think it was
Transat, it was a Canadian
632
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,000
airline that went from Canada
all the way to I believe it was
633
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,720
going to Portugal and it made a
landing and the Azores.
634
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080
Why?
Because let me see if I can
635
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,840
remember this correctly.
They started having fuel issues
636
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,200
in one engine in the checklist.
They didn't do something
637
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,040
according exactly to the
checklist.
638
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:49,440
The way that the outcome came
came down to intuition of the
639
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,360
pilots and just flying
experience that they were able
640
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,320
to land an airplane without
engines safely in an island on
641
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,480
the runway.
OK, like it's a miracle, but
642
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,760
artificial intelligence could
have been different and it could
643
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,080
have been like, hey, we need to
shut down both engines because
644
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,120
this is what your checklist
does.
645
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,880
And we're going to have to ditch
in the middle of the ocean.
646
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,240
And you know who who knows how
long it's going to take for
647
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,840
rescue to get there Could have
been there could have been
648
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,520
casualties, right?
That element.
649
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,840
I you AI could not, at least to
this day, cannot do that.
650
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,400
There's no right.
Right, right, right.
651
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,320
I guess So you're saying that
you, but I mean, but you could
652
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,280
really wind down a lot of the
repetitive stuff, right?
653
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,400
Like like what you said, like
you know, flying has changed a
654
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,880
lot, especially since your dad
has been flying, you know, and
655
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,680
I'm sure there's a lot less that
pilots need to do nowadays than
656
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,840
they needed to do 20 years ago
or 30 years ago.
657
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,640
And I'm sure in five 1015 years
it's going to be different too,
658
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,200
no?
For sure.
659
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,080
I I completely agree the the
technology is to help the pilots
660
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,600
stay focused on not dealing with
tasks that take you away from
661
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,160
flying the airplane because
unfortunately that's how a lot
662
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,280
of aerial accidents have
happened in the past.
663
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,840
Pilots got distracted on things
that had not that they didn't
664
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,639
have anything to do with flying,
but they were aside from being
665
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,760
focused on flying.
Right.
666
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,040
So what, what, what is there to
focus on if you're a pilot,
667
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,040
right?
And you're and you're and you're
668
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,159
and you're there.
What are your like?
669
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,040
What's the order of priorities
in terms of your
670
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,719
responsibilities as a pilot, you
know, in terms of net, in terms
671
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,840
of flying, navigating,
engineering, whatever it is
672
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,560
like, what are you expected to
do?
673
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,080
What's computerized what's Not
sure how does?
674
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:40,440
That work the, the, the primary
is the saying that goes aviate,
675
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,400
navigate, communicate.
So you fly the airplane first.
676
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,679
Something goes wrong, right?
Let's say you're like a cruise
677
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:47,280
or something like that.
You guys are chilling.
678
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,159
You and the other pilot are
talking, something goes wrong.
679
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,960
The first thing that you have to
do is fly the airplane, because
680
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,960
if you don't fly the airplane,
well, we don't want to know what
681
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,520
happens after that.
Then you communicate so you can
682
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,640
communicate.
Can it be anything in between,
683
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,880
like checklist usage,
communication between the two
684
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,640
pilots, communication with air
traffic control, and then
685
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,880
navigate?
Finally, after that, you want to
686
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,560
be able to navigate and OK, what
is the course of action that
687
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,160
we're going to do now?
Are we going to divert?
688
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,600
Are we going to go to this or
are we going to go to that, that
689
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,920
level?
So it sounds very easy when I
690
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,360
talk about it because we're just
that cruise at 37,000 feet.
691
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,240
But let's say something happens
when you're lower and you're
692
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:26,920
flying.
Like for example, for us when we
693
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,440
go to keto, those mountaintops
are about 14 to 15,000 feet.
694
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,240
Now you're in a situation, now
you're in a situation where
695
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:37,160
aviate, navigate and communicate
have to happen like this, right?
696
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,120
Has to happen quick because if
you take a long time to
697
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,120
navigate, to get to the
navigation part, you might go
698
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,280
into a mountain, right?
But it's not that.
699
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,480
It's like, oh, we're just
getting, we're just flying blind
700
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,600
and we're just like, something
happens and we're just flying
701
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,760
and we're going towards the
mountain peak.
702
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,240
No, like there are routes that
are predetermined already in our
703
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,720
flight plan, which we will
already be on.
704
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:02,840
It just there's so many
different scenarios.
705
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,400
But what I'm trying to get at is
that the pilot training is,
706
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,640
let's say something happens when
you're around 13,014 thousand
707
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,200
feet around mountainous terrain
and then all of a sudden you
708
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,840
have to aviate, navigate,
communicate.
709
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:24,280
That technology has helped us to
focus on aviate, navigate and
710
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,160
then just being able to, OK, we
assess the situation we're going
711
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,040
to where we need to go.
Now let's talk to everyone.
712
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,840
I think I said it wrong, man.
I think I said aviate,
713
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,320
communicate and navigate.
It's the other way.
714
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,720
It's aviate, navigate,
communicate.
715
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:38,600
So you want to make sure you're
flying the airplane, knowing
716
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,200
where you're going and then talk
about it.
717
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:46,760
So pilot training, especially in
the airlines is all about that.
718
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,240
They put us in scenarios in an
in a simulator where it's
719
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,680
constantly like this happens,
how are you going to handle it?
720
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,960
What are you going to do?
And there's every airline has
721
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,760
standard operating procedures.
That is what helps both pilots
722
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,520
stay exactly in line to complete
that mission when something goes
723
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,400
wrong, so that there's no
miscommunication between the
724
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,920
pilots that there's no like, we
both know exactly what to do.
725
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:19,000
And if technology didn't exist
to help us with that, then one
726
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,120
pilot will be busy trying to
flip a bunch of switches while
727
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,800
the other one's trying to fly
the airplane.
728
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,480
It gets overwhelming.
But pilots used to do it like
729
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,640
that, and I think that's totally
fucking badass.
730
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,640
You know, the fact that you can
divert your attention to so many
731
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,040
things and do it, but
unfortunately there have been a
732
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,160
lot of accidents because of
that.
733
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,160
So that technology, that stuff
has helped.
734
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,000
I even think with like what you
mentioned, 10 to 15 years from
735
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,320
now.
Yeah, I think AI and I think
736
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,080
technology is going to be even
even better.
737
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,960
But I just don't think we will
lose 2 pilots in the flight
738
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,960
deck.
I just think that we will be, we
739
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,280
will be doing, for example, a
flight that would take from New
740
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,640
York to London.
Six hours might take you now
741
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,880
like four or three.
That's why I.
742
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,320
Think right How does?
How does that work?
743
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,920
I mean, it's just acknowledging.
The speed of the plane, that's
744
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,520
just how big the plane is.
And no, in terms of like fuel
745
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,480
efficiency for an, for, for like
engines of an airplane, how, how
746
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,520
much powerful they can get, you
know, what can engines do at
747
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,840
higher altitudes to be able to,
you know, produce more thrust or
748
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,120
get us going to, to, to this
stuff a lot faster?
749
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,280
There's a trade off, right?
There's a trade off because as
750
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,440
you go up in altitude, you lose
density of air.
751
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,000
So it's, it's a lot harder for
jets or turbine engines to
752
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,440
produce thrust with thinner air,
right?
753
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,600
You really have to compress that
air to get thrust out of it.
754
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,000
So yeah, technology has helped a
lot with that and the fuel
755
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,280
efficiency of it.
But when you're up in the air
756
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,280
and the air is less dense,
you're actually moving through
757
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,960
the air a lot faster.
You have less drag, you have
758
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,040
less particles of air that are
slowing you down up at higher
759
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,360
altitudes, right?
So that's a great trade off.
760
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,400
But the other thing is too is
now there's something called
761
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,920
cosmic radiation and it's when
you're flying at higher
762
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:27,600
latitudes, I think, I believe it
might be like 60 N or something
763
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,640
like that.
So basically a beam like, oh, I
764
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,520
don't know, somewhere in North
Canada, little bit right around
765
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,360
there.
If you're flying closer to the
766
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,720
North Pole than that, you're
exposed to radiation.
767
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:42,440
That's cosmic radiation.
It's not like the same as UV
768
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,560
radiation, but it's just
radiation that's there because
769
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,360
you're not being protected so
much by the the atmosphere of
770
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,480
the Earth.
You have less protection at
771
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,920
those altitudes, right?
So that's another like one of
772
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,880
the reasons why, I mean, they
could possibly create an
773
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,320
airplane that can go so much
higher and so much faster so we
774
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,960
can get to a destination a lot
quicker.
775
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,440
But now everybody's exposed to a
lot of radiation and to the
776
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,520
pressure.
You got to think about like
777
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,840
whenever the higher we go, the
airplane has to maintain a
778
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,440
pressure like if we were lower.
Right.
779
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:23,040
So typically you're flying up 30
something 1000 feet 40,000 and
780
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:28,560
your cabin inside the airplane
feels at Max 8000 feet in the
781
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,680
air.
Right.
782
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,920
There's a big pressure
difference.
783
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,840
I mean, that's like a lot of
thousands of feet pressure
784
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,760
difference.
You have to build an airplane
785
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,280
strong enough that it won't
collapse because of the pressure
786
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,360
difference, you see what I'm
saying?
787
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,280
Or explode either 1.
So material of an airplane
788
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,240
technology wise is one thing,
engines of an airplane and how
789
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,320
it performs is another thing
that with technology and AII
790
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,320
think could get better so that
we could start doing longer
791
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,280
flights faster.
But we have to be careful about
792
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,360
the radiation.
Correct.
793
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,600
You have to be careful about the
radiation, but that's that's why
794
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,080
like we won't like the, the, the
airplanes don't have to go so
795
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,720
high in altitude to an in order
to achieve faster speeds, you
796
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,120
know what I'm saying?
So, so I think, you know,
797
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,440
there's, there's a difference,
there's regulations based on how
798
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,000
much radiation can you fly
through in a given amount of
799
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,200
time.
And then if the airline could
800
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:33,080
not program you to fly in those
altitudes and those latitudes
801
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,040
for more than XYZ numbers
because it'll violate the the
802
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,680
totally, yeah.
Totally, by the way, what do you
803
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,200
think?
I mean my understanding is also
804
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,120
that or my understanding is that
underwater has experiences or
805
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,720
you know, in the ocean
experiences similar levels of
806
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:53,320
pressure in that kind of way.
Do like submarines are like, you
807
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,240
know, I guess a marine type of
technology is that is do they
808
00:41:57,240 --> 00:42:00,480
collaborate with, with, with
aviation at all?
809
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,120
Because they face similar
challenges in terms of, you
810
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,400
know, having to design, you
know, a, a thing, you know, a
811
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,800
boat or a plane that can
withstand all this pressure and
812
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,800
create an environment of a
different pressure within it.
813
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,200
Is there collaboration between
the two or are they 2 totally
814
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,880
different sciences?
That's a great question.
815
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,360
There might be to a certain
extent, but it's the complete
816
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,440
opposite because every time
whenever you start going below
817
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,760
water, the pressure is actually
increasing, increasing,
818
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,000
increasing so that submarines go
down the water pressure and the
819
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,720
pressure outside the submarine
is so much greater.
820
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:40,680
Like the submarine itself inside
has to be able to not collapse
821
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:45,360
like a like a coke can, right?
But the people inside need to
822
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,400
feel like if they were higher,
like.
823
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,280
If they were.
Almost at the surface, right?
824
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,440
So it's inverted.
It's just inverted.
825
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,520
Exactly.
So that's why I think there's
826
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,960
not much of A collaboration,
but, but there could be.
827
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,640
I've never really even thought
about that nor investigated it.
828
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,720
But I'm sure there's talks.
I'm sure there's talks and and
829
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:05,120
you know, just because they're
completely inverted doesn't mean
830
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,520
that there's some overlapping
information that each one can
831
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,640
use.
That submarine that that that
832
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,760
went down a couple years ago.
I remember that story.
833
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,360
They're like trying to you know,
go down to a Titanic or whatever
834
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,040
and like those guys must have
died immediately, right?
835
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,080
Because I the anything that goes
wrong, the pressure, just like
836
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,720
you said, you know, crack, you
know, cracks it or cocaine.
837
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,320
Yeah, there's actually, I was
just looking at through Netflix
838
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,880
yesterday and I added that
documentary to the past.
839
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,400
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm gonna see.
840
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,680
I remember reading an article
that it like fucking
841
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,200
disintegrated or some shit.
I can't remember exactly the
842
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,080
words when it was but but
people.
843
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,880
Are looking for them, right?
What's the point of looking for
844
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:45,720
them?
Right.
845
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,240
It's it's so much pressure, man,
like deep that deep inside.
846
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,960
Like just think about this when
you go scuba diving and I think
847
00:43:53,960 --> 00:44:00,200
it's like you do a a depth of
more than like 20 to 30 feet or
848
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,160
something like that.
Yeah.
849
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,400
And obviously you have to go up
controlled.
850
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:10,120
Whatever you cannot, you should
not fly 24 to 48 hours after you
851
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,280
go scuba diving after reaching a
certain depth.
852
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,760
Really.
Yes, because what that does to
853
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,200
you in terms of like your body
still acclimating to pressure
854
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,640
and you think about it like
biologically to the smallest
855
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,920
extent, there's still pieces and
parts of your body that have not
856
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,480
acclimated to the new pressure
that it starts to build up like
857
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,720
bubbles in your bloodstream,
bubbles in your, in your like
858
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,760
areas where you're going to get
a lot of pain in your joints.
859
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:41,200
Call them the bends, right.
So if you change that, if you
860
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,880
change that pressure drastically
in less than like 24 to 48
861
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,400
hours, you're going to start
feeling a lot of pain.
862
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,880
That's why they always tell us,
they always tell us if you're
863
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,520
going to go scuba diving, don't
like on overnights.
864
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:55,920
We don't, we don't do any of
that.
865
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,800
We don't do any of because it's,
it's, it's dangerous.
866
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,040
And when we're flying, actually
when I was going through my
867
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,840
private pilot and commercial
license, you know, you're,
868
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,960
you're flying in airplanes that
are unpressurized.
869
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,840
So you're really feeling like
whatever altitude that it is
870
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,200
that it is outside.
And part of like, you know, the,
871
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:19,880
the passenger checklist was to,
you know, ask them if anybody
872
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,880
has been scuba diving or
anything in the past, because
873
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:25,920
now you can cause now you, you
know, they're not going to go
874
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,960
and tell you the passenger's not
going to be like, hey man, yeah,
875
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,360
I went scuba diving.
It was awesome.
876
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,440
Cool.
Like maybe they'll say it, but
877
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,640
there's no way you're going to
know unless they tell you.
878
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,920
So now you're flying in the air
and these people start feeling
879
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,160
super uncomfortable because they
didn't know about that.
880
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,840
And yeah, it was, it was, it was
something that we have to ask
881
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,440
the passengers.
But I'm assuming I've never done
882
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,680
any scuba diving lessons or
anything like that before.
883
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,720
In the course that they take,
they probably tell them don't go
884
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:57,520
flying for 24 to 48 hours, you
know, I mean, but I mean, you
885
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,320
just never know.
It's always, it's always better
886
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,160
to ask and be safe than somebody
start feeling bad and now you
887
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,040
have to go somewhere else
because something somebody's
888
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,560
having a bad time.
Yeah, definitely.
889
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:13,640
What's the is it is the is the
party culture of airline like of
890
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,760
the airline industry overrated,
overdramaticized or is it
891
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,080
accurate or like what you what?
You see from shows and movies
892
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,720
and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
893
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,120
Is.
It is it over because I feel
894
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,400
like listen, at the end of the
day, especially if you're like
895
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,960
just if you are, if you're a
single person, you know, and
896
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,240
you're and you're spending all
this time travelling different
897
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,200
places.
I mean, I would probably be
898
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,280
partying all the time.
Sure, yeah, I mean and look
899
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,640
there's, there's there's nothing
wrong with doing what you want
900
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,280
to do as long as you are
responsible and you're within
901
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,000
the limits of the regulations,
right.
902
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:58,440
Nowadays the airline scheduling
is so much tighter.
903
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,840
And what I mean by that is
before back in the day, you used
904
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,600
to be able to do 1 flight, go
somewhere, be there for like, I
905
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,000
don't know, 244836 hours and
then come back.
906
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,800
That was plenty of time for, you
know, to go and explore, do all
907
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,640
the partying and everything that
you wanted to do.
908
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,800
I mean, it's, it's part of the
lifestyle, man.
909
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,160
You go somewhere new to
experience another state,
910
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,440
another city, another country.
It's something nowadays they,
911
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:32,280
the technology for, you know,
optimizing pilot schedules is
912
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,320
well if there's these
regulations of pilot rest, I
913
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,800
want to be able to use maximize
the, the time that this pilot
914
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:46,640
can fly per day before we hit
any sort of like fatigue risk.
915
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,240
OK, So what happens is now you
have long days of flying where
916
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:53,400
you're flying maybe two to three
flights a day.
917
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:59,040
You get to an overnight and it's
only anywhere between 12:16 or
918
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,920
24 hours.
That's it man, after after
919
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,720
flying all day.
Right, you don't want to you're.
920
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,400
Kind of you're a little bit
wiped out.
921
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,680
You get, by the time you get to
your hotel, by the time everyone
922
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,800
meets up, you're only, you're
only looking at a couple hours
923
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,280
to do something.
You know, the next day you, you
924
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,400
may have an early show or the
next day, you know, you, you got
925
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,040
in super late.
So now you're going to bed at
926
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,520
like 2-3 in the morning.
You're not going to wake up at
927
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,600
7:00 or something to go and go
to the beach and things like
928
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,800
that.
You're going to try to get rest
929
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,840
because you fly again the next
day.
930
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,680
Two to three flights they're
trying to get.
931
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,360
That sucks man.
It does, it does.
932
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,480
But to me it's still the best
job in the world.
933
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,120
And you know, it's a job.
We're getting paid, we're
934
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,160
getting paid well.
And while our overnights, not
935
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:54,280
all of them are 24 hours, you
still have enough to be able to,
936
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,320
I don't know, maybe get dinner
with the crew somewhere, or
937
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,360
maybe you'd do a breakfast with
the crew before you go.
938
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,040
It just really all depends.
The funnest layover for me, at
939
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,120
least I've been in the Caribbean
where there is a lot of like,
940
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,040
you know, it's, you're all on
the beach, you're all doing
941
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,880
like, it's all this Beachy vibes
and things.
942
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,920
And, and, and I love that
because you go out with the
943
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,880
crew, get breakfast in the
morning, some of us will go get
944
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,520
a workout in before we go fly
and boom, there goes our morning
945
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,320
and afternoon, You know, so it,
it is different.
946
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,320
Don't get me wrong, people still
do party, but you know, it's
947
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,600
also there's also a lot.
Of sounds like it's hard to
948
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,440
sounds like you have to put like
a lot of work into it.
949
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,800
You have to like, put work into
finding time to party.
950
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:40,440
I mean for real yeah, you, you,
you do and but everybody like
951
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,880
knows hey, this is the
regulation.
952
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,400
This is where you have to be
back by.
953
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:53,920
This is, you know, if you kind
of cross that line, you're not
954
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,680
only are you putting your your
job at risk, but you're putting
955
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,240
people at risk.
And everyone knows, everyone
956
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:07,280
knows that if you even come
close to that, it's not worth
957
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,440
any of the repercussions that
have to come with that.
958
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,400
So, you know, that being said,
there's a good balance between
959
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,000
how much you want to go explore
and party and everything versus,
960
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,360
hey, the professional
professionalism of your job in
961
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,640
what you do.
And it's definitely changed a
962
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,040
lot throughout the years.
I bet, I bet.
963
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,160
But I mean, I can't imagine that
everyone looks at it as
964
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,080
professionally as you do.
You know what I mean?
965
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,800
It sounds, I think you sound
like you're thoughtful about it
966
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,280
and you're, you know, mature
about it, you know, but I'm sure
967
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,480
that listen, there are plenty,
there are plenty of adults that
968
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:46,920
are adult children, you know
that.
969
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,440
And I guess, I guess obviously,
you know, I guess the crew would
970
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,560
be different than a pilot in
terms of responsibilities, you
971
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,120
know, But how strictly enforced
are are all the regulations,
972
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,840
especially when it comes to
like, you know, travelling or
973
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,880
getting somewhere in time or,
you know, drinking or not or,
974
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:07,560
you know, whatever it are there
random tests are yes.
975
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,960
Well, what's?
Yeah, there are.
976
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,800
Yep, Yep.
There's random tests, you know,
977
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,760
at random people or pilots and
flight attendants can be tested
978
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,560
for alcohol or drugs at any
point, anytime, anywhere.
979
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,720
There's also like everything.
Do they do it often?
980
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,080
Yeah, yeah, it.
But I mean, there's so many
981
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,040
people in the airline, though,
that it's often without how many
982
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,320
people there are.
But each individual person, you
983
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:39,560
just never know when you're
going to get it.
984
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,480
There could be a time where you
get it like, oh, wow, I only got
985
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,400
it like a couple months ago.
And sometimes it could be a year
986
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,680
or two before you get one again.
It's so random.
987
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,240
It's so random.
I honestly don't know how the
988
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,680
algorithm works for that.
If it's a computer, if it's like
989
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:58,960
chosen by certain people, But
it's, you know, the, the, the,
990
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,360
the policy and the regulation is
a little bit different.
991
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:09,560
The regulation is one thing.
The policy that we do can amend
992
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,160
that regulation.
So for us, it's actually a
993
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,480
little bit more restrictive.
It's 12 hours before you can
994
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,600
have any alcohol and you touch
an airplane or I think it's like
995
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:25,640
.004 or something like that.
It's something that like if if
996
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,800
you have one beer within 12
hours it'll show up.
997
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,680
Really.
Yeah, so, wow, So something like
998
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,240
that it, I mean, I don't even do
that because I don't even come
999
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:38,400
close to that limit.
Why why would I want to come
1000
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,120
close to that 12 hour limit?
You know, if if the if the
1001
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,320
layover is long enough, 36
hours, cool, that gives me
1002
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,200
plenty of time to not have any
of that, right.
1003
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,920
But yeah, there are random,
there are random tests.
1004
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,760
There are regulations in terms
of alcohol percentage in your
1005
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,880
blood.
There's in terms of time and
1006
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,400
also when it comes to an
investigation or something like
1007
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,480
that, there is cameras
everywhere, man.
1008
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,120
And airlines have access to
cameras in hotels and
1009
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,560
everything.
So you you're kind of almost
1010
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,200
like being watched.
Oh yeah, Big Brother.
1011
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,920
Yeah, exactly so.
Big brother's there.
1012
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:20,440
Yeah, yeah.
But to some extent, I mean, it
1013
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,800
doesn't mean you can't have fun.
There's plenty of ways to be
1014
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,120
able to have fun and and if the
layover like again, if the
1015
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,760
layover's long enough, more than
happy to to enjoy a few drinks
1016
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:33,480
here and there.
How do you, I had, I have this,
1017
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,440
I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure a ton
of people have this.
1018
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:40,560
I guess you get used to it, but
how do you maintain your health
1019
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,960
regimen, workout regimen,
productivity when you're
1020
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,840
constantly in new places?
Because one thing that I
1021
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,600
struggle with for sure is that
when I, I kind of have to be in
1022
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:55,280
like my space, that I, that I
associate like psychologically
1023
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:59,320
and mentally with productivity.
And like when I travel to a
1024
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,840
hotel, even like again, like
here at my parents house, you
1025
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,560
know, like my associations,
being at my parents house is not
1026
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,360
the same association as being at
my house.
1027
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,280
You know, I feel like I'm a kid
here as opposed to a dad and,
1028
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,600
and, and you know, and a
homeowner, you know, I feel
1029
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,000
like, as opposed to being the
man of the house.
1030
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,400
How do you, how do you, how do
you maintain that?
1031
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,920
Or do you, you know or do you
just like listen, if you're
1032
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,200
flying 3 or 4 times a week and
it's just you know it's off then
1033
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,280
or what do you do?
It's a very good question.
1034
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,920
I since I was a little kid, I've
always been very curious and
1035
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:37,080
very like resourceful for
getting something done that I
1036
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,880
want to do.
The first thing that I do is I
1037
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,960
how I value my health and
fitness is very high.
1038
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:48,080
Then from there, I work down on
how am I going to obtain for me
1039
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,400
to fulfill that value, right?
That means if I'm in a hotel
1040
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,840
room and there's no gym at that
hotel, can I move some furniture
1041
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,240
around?
Can I do some plyometric work in
1042
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:01,000
that hotel room?
Can I do something that's going
1043
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,160
to get me to that value of me
fulfilling that?
1044
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,760
So I've always had that since I
was a little kid.
1045
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,640
I'm guessing the way I built
discipline to that is by holding
1046
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,720
that so highly to me.
It's very, very important to me.
1047
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,000
But you know, the way that I do
it is it?
1048
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:23,160
I used to work out so hard
almost every day, even when I
1049
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,240
was flying, even when I was at
home.
1050
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,680
And that kind of caught up to
me.
1051
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:32,200
And I can't be doing so much
hard, heavy training when I'm
1052
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,560
also operating an airplane,
right?
1053
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,960
You get tired.
There's nights where maybe you
1054
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,040
don't get good enough sleep
because you have kids running
1055
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,480
around the hotel hallway just
waking you up every couple
1056
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,520
minutes.
Certain things are outside of
1057
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,960
your control.
So you know as you go and and
1058
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,640
you learn that from experience
as you go.
1059
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,200
As I went through my airline
career, I started amending and
1060
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,920
adjusting what I do on my
layovers and what I do at home.
1061
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,520
So everything that is
progressive overload, heavier
1062
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:08,760
lifting, or more like strenuous
hard work is done at home.
1063
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,760
Because.
Here I have more equipment and
1064
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,480
here I have more control of what
my rest looks like.
1065
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,080
How, how, how?
How many days a week are you
1066
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,400
home as opposed to traveling?
It depends.
1067
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,760
Sometimes you can be gone four
nights, or sorry, three nights,
1068
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,240
four days.
Sometimes you can be gone two
1069
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:30,600
nights, three days.
Sometimes you're back the same
1070
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,760
day.
It just, it's, it changes, man.
1071
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:38,440
It changes so much that you have
to have a plan.
1072
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,160
Ready.
So you have to take a look like
1073
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,120
how you look at your week Sunday
through Sunday and you're like,
1074
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,960
OK, this week I'm going to fly
this, this, this.
1075
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,440
So I'm going to work out these
body parts on these off days and
1076
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,960
I'm going to do mobility and
flexibility on these days
1077
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,680
because I'm flying 8 hours this
day.
1078
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,360
You can't just be like, oh, I'm
flying 8 hours this day and I'm
1079
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,560
going to go lift like a ton of
weight.
1080
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,160
There's no way, man.
First of all, mentally you won't
1081
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,840
get there.
You will be discouraged because
1082
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,880
of dude, sitting in an airplane
or just sitting in general all
1083
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:15,920
day is just only contributing to
you continuing to sit and being
1084
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,040
lazy.
Not in terms of like that you're
1085
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,320
lazy, you don't want to do
anything.
1086
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,880
But the act of not moving
doesn't make you productive.
1087
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,280
The act of sitting makes you
want to stay sitting.
1088
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,960
The act of lounging makes you
only want to lounge.
1089
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:35,120
So now you go from 8 hours in a
day sitting in an airplane and
1090
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,880
between two to three different
flights.
1091
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,360
You get to your hotel room and
you're like oh fuck man.
1092
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,560
My hips are tight, my lower back
is tight.
1093
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,640
Now I got to go lift.
Your mind is like, no, no, no,
1094
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,360
no, no, we're not doing that.
Like, and then sometimes you end
1095
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,120
up not doing anything at all.
But if you take that.
1096
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,600
So that's a very big gap to
jump.
1097
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,320
And this is how I like to always
do a metaphor.
1098
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,520
If instead of trying to jump
that gap to get from like being
1099
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:06,120
really tired to doing a really
hard workout, build the bridge
1100
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,880
that you can easily walk.
Across so smart, dude.
1101
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,360
So smart.
And that bridge is let's focus
1102
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,960
on undoing the sitting that we
did today.
1103
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,680
Let's do hit mobility.
Let's do something and do it
1104
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,240
before you know it.
Like I start off with hit
1105
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,240
mobility and then all of a
sudden I run like a 5K like.
1106
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:24,080
What?
Yeah.
1107
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,440
Where did that go from?
You know, things like that,
1108
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,360
you're just, you're building
that bridge.
1109
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,840
Do you have to get to the other
side and do an intense workout?
1110
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,760
No.
But at least you're walking the
1111
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:35,760
bridge.
You're getting there.
1112
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,400
Because if that intense workout
is not today, it could be
1113
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:39,760
tomorrow.
Yeah.
1114
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,640
You know what I'm saying?
You don't.
1115
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,320
Do you have an opportunity to
get up and move around while
1116
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,720
you're flying or almost never?
Yeah, yeah, we have.
1117
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,000
We could do like breaks where we
use the bathroom and things like
1118
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,760
that, but it's not that much.
You're supposed to go into the
1119
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,800
bathroom, come back and go right
back into the flight deck.
1120
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,480
It's not, you know, it's not
much time that we can lounge
1121
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,640
around at least in, in narrow
body airplanes like the seven
1122
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:07,480
three that I fly or, but if
you're in, in a 777 or in a, in
1123
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,400
a Dreamliner where you're doing
all these much longer flights,
1124
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,920
there are crew rest breaks.
That means you get a rest break
1125
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,960
for about two to three hours.
There you're free to do what you
1126
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,920
want.
You can go watch a movie, you
1127
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,840
can sleep.
There's bunks in the airplane,
1128
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,840
you can stretch, you can do
whatever you want.
1129
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,200
That's only.
What do you usually do?
1130
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:28,880
I don't have those kind of
breaks.
1131
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,040
I fly narrow body.
No, no.
1132
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,480
I.
Just would you, do you want to
1133
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,400
fly vigor?
Would you go to that?
1134
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,320
No, I would love to.
I think it'll be a cool
1135
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,160
experience, yeah.
How does that, how does that
1136
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,000
work?
Does that?
1137
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,280
Is that based on seniority?
Is that just based on like it
1138
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,960
is, it's just like, hey, man,
like you've been doing this for
1139
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,200
two years.
You're not getting on a
1140
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,320
Dreamliner, man.
You know, you do this for 10
1141
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,040
years, you get, you get on.
Exactly.
1142
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,080
Oh yeah, dude, man, it's going
to take so long for me to get
1143
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,880
there.
But I mean, it's fine.
1144
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,640
It's it's all part of the
process sometimes.
1145
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,280
How long does it take, How long
does it usually take to get to
1146
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,200
get to make your way up there?
Like where do you consider in
1147
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,960
your career as far as like a
pilot?
1148
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,560
Well, I think it, I think it's
going to take me about like
1149
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:13,320
another three years to get to
fly in those airplanes, but.
1150
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,360
It it.
I'm enjoying so much being a
1151
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,680
captain on this airplane that
I'm on right now.
1152
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:24,600
And to me, I, I don't, I haven't
really looked at my career of
1153
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,040
like, OK, what's next?
OK, what's next?
1154
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,960
Like I got to get to this, I
guess enjoying this dude, I'm
1155
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:34,560
just enjoying every single time.
And I'm I'm in either, you know,
1156
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,880
when I was a first officer, when
I was a captain, when I was the
1157
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,720
first officer again, Now I'm a
captain again.
1158
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,480
I mean, you truly enjoying the
moment.
1159
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:47,960
It just really, truly makes me
feel like this is just still a
1160
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,440
dream, man.
There was a time where you do
1161
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,560
have to hustle.
You do have to hustle to get OK.
1162
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,800
You got to get your flight hours
to become captain, OK.
1163
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,080
You got to get your flight hours
to get to the next airline that
1164
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,160
you want to go to.
Those are the times that you
1165
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,640
hustle.
But yeah, I'm not always
1166
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,880
thinking like, oh man, I can't
wait to fly like to all the
1167
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,920
Europe and all that stuff.
Man, that time will come when
1168
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,840
it'll come.
Right now I'm having so much fun
1169
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:17,720
flying South America, you know,
so, so that's, I think that's
1170
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,520
another thing that makes me
enjoy my job so much.
1171
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,440
Yeah, yeah.
You know what?
1172
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,960
That's such a great attitude.
There's something about I, I was
1173
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,160
actually, I was talking about
this because there was such a
1174
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,680
fundamental difference between I
didn't know what I wanted to do
1175
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,520
with my entire life ever, right?
For a long time, there were
1176
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,880
always things I knew that I kind
of spoke to me, but I wasn't
1177
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:42,880
sure what I wanted to do.
And one thing I, I started doing
1178
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,040
a couple years ago, I started
teaching.
1179
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,440
I always, I, I love teaching.
And this podcast is something
1180
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,160
else I love, right?
And you know, people ask me
1181
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:50,760
like, oh, how's it coming?
How's it going along?
1182
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:56,680
And like, man, there's when you
find something that you enjoy,
1183
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,440
you don't mind taking your time
to get wherever you got to get
1184
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,120
because you're enjoying
everything you do.
1185
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:06,040
And when you don't rush it, like
what we talked about earlier,
1186
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,320
you know, like full circle, you
know, when you're not rushing
1187
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,880
and when you're just letting the
moment be the moment and when
1188
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,520
you're just experiencing what
you're experiencing and also
1189
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,080
building and also growing and
also learning and also getting
1190
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,800
experience, but you're loving
what you do along the way.
1191
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,480
That's like, that's ideal set.
That's happiness in my opinion,
1192
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:24,120
right?
Happiness.
1193
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,960
Happiness to me is a feeling of
having a big picture and knowing
1194
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,920
that you're doing what you can
to get to that big picture and
1195
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:34,600
feeling like you're taking steps
towards it.
1196
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:40,520
Cuz like I don't, cuz happiness
is almost like if you ask me if
1197
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:41,880
I'm having a hard day, are you
happy?
1198
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,800
I'm like, yeah, I am, it's a
hard day, but I'm a happy, but
1199
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,840
I'm I'm happy.
I love my life, I feel good.
1200
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,400
I'm a happy person.
I feel meaningful and and
1201
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,520
content and but but, you know,
and then there are people that
1202
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,720
have comforts and I have, you
know, you know, that have what
1203
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,040
everyone else wants, but they
don't feel like they're working
1204
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,320
towards achieving any kind of
goal or any kind of dream or any
1205
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,920
kind of vision and they're not
happy, you know, and like, so,
1206
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,920
so it's such a hell.
It's such a great attitude to be
1207
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:10,720
like, yeah, man, you know, I'll
try.
1208
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,000
I'll fly a Dreamliner one day.
But you know, like, you know, I
1209
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,520
got there, man.
And like, I like what I'm doing,
1210
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,520
you know, like that's just what
I'm that's awesome.
1211
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,440
With minutes.
Some of your favorite places to
1212
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,760
to visit so far.
Wow man, that's every time I get
1213
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:23,640
asked that.
It's it's pretty.
1214
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:24,880
Tough it changes, right?
Well.
1215
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,000
Yeah, let's.
Talk about the people or the OR
1216
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,600
the OR let's talk about people
like your favorite, like types
1217
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,160
of people that you've seen and
the favorite like, you know, I
1218
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,960
guess cities or topography,
because I feel like those are
1219
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:41,440
two different questions.
For real and also to, to add on
1220
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,360
to that either for work or for
pleasure, right.
1221
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,800
So like that's, that's different
too.
1222
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,240
I'll, I'll, I'll start off with
work wise where I like going.
1223
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,680
I really love going to the Dr.
Dominican Republic.
1224
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,240
I love going there.
The people there I vibe with so
1225
01:03:58,240 --> 01:03:59,440
much.
They're fun.
1226
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,360
It's a great mixture between
being professional and having
1227
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,880
fun at the same time.
I think they're really great and
1228
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:10,880
Puerto Rico as well.
I get that same feeling and the
1229
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:15,280
where I really truly enjoy going
to as well is Central America
1230
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,960
because it's challenging.
It's challenging to go there in
1231
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:24,920
terms of the runway layout, the
airport layouts, mountains
1232
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,000
around, dude.
Sometimes there's like these
1233
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,120
runways that are not completely
straight, they're like downhill
1234
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,800
or they come down and then come
back up.
1235
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,480
It's it's just challenging and I
love that.
1236
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,080
That makes the job so much more
interesting.
1237
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,560
So I think one of my favorite
ones is also Guatemala.
1238
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,040
I like flying.
Into Guatemala.
1239
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,240
Yeah, it's a really interesting
airport.
1240
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,160
Let's.
See what about this interesting
1241
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,400
when you say these things, when
you say that these are like I'm
1242
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,400
just cuz I don't I don't even
know how to even think about
1243
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,800
what you're thinking about you.
Know like, so let me try to let
1244
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,120
me try to visualize it for you.
OK, so you're coming in from the
1245
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,600
Gulf, right?
And you're starting to descend
1246
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,920
now you're starting to descend
into like where mountains,
1247
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,360
terrains are.
The airport is located on a
1248
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,360
hill, maybe a hill that's like
about like I can't remember the
1249
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,360
elevation, let's call it like
about maybe like the 1000 or
1250
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,520
2000 feet right from sea level.
You have to come the way you're
1251
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,360
coming into it from the, from
the Gulf is in your landing
1252
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,800
looking towards the Gulf.
So you have to somehow make 180��
1253
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:36,400
turn somewhere, but you can't
just make 180�� anywhere because
1254
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,280
there's mountains and volcanoes
all around.
1255
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,360
Obviously there's, there's
called arrival charts and
1256
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,040
approach charts.
So as long as you're following
1257
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,160
those that chart and those
Airways, you're going to be
1258
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,160
fine.
The thing is, is configuring and
1259
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,560
maneuvering the airplane to be
at those specific spots at the
1260
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:58,080
specific speed, at the fixed
specific configuration, you
1261
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,160
know, and there's a, you start
like met like you start
1262
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,800
preparing for this while you're
still cruising.
1263
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,400
So way before you start
descending, you figure out like,
1264
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,200
OK, my landing capability is
going to be this because we
1265
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,960
weigh this much.
Is a runway wet?
1266
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:18,400
Is there a slope on the runway?
What kind of density altitude do
1267
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:19,920
I have?
Am I going to be landing with a
1268
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,240
tailwind?
With a headwind?
1269
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,680
All these things you're taking
into consideration and you're
1270
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,160
prepared mentally before you
even start descending.
1271
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,120
Awesome.
And then your goal descending is
1272
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,120
to be like, OK, I set up for
this.
1273
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:33,760
This is how it's going to be
done.
1274
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,040
And that's the goal reaching
those things.
1275
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,200
So dude, as you're coming
through, there may be clouds,
1276
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,680
there may not be clouds.
You may pop out of clouds and
1277
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,720
they all sort of like the
volcanoes right in front of you.
1278
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,200
And you're hitting the point you
where you got to make 180�� turn.
1279
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,160
You're lining yourself with the
runway.
1280
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,960
It could be raining, it could be
not right before the runway,
1281
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,760
there's like a freaking
waterfall, which looks so cool.
1282
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,440
Not all of, not a lot of people
see it because it's kind of
1283
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,720
small, but you could definitely
see it if you look good enough.
1284
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,080
And then you're coming in, you
may have like all this wind from
1285
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,400
around the mountains that are
just like pushing you left,
1286
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:09,880
right with you against you.
Then the, the, the runway is not
1287
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,400
grooved.
So they, the, the, the water
1288
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,040
puddles in the runway in
Guatemala, which is a huge
1289
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,240
threat.
You know, you don't want to land
1290
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,760
where there's puddles of water.
You can 'cause they could be
1291
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,320
hydroplaning.
So now you're thinking about
1292
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,480
like, OK, what's my braking
effectivity going to be?
1293
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,320
How am I going to do this?
What kind of flap setting, all
1294
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,760
those things.
It's nice when you think of all
1295
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:36,560
that and you, you know, you
execute it and you park the
1296
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,840
airplane and you're like, fuck
yeah, you know, that was cool.
1297
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,760
So it's satisfying.
It's like a challenge and it's
1298
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,840
satisfying.
Versus like when you come back
1299
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:47,160
to Miami, I love Miami, I love
landing here.
1300
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,440
I think it's the best freaking
airport to land here.
1301
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,760
The controllers are super cool,
the scenery super awesome and
1302
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:56,840
but it's something that you
already know.
1303
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,000
You already know which runway
you're getting.
1304
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,800
You already know that it's long
enough for you to land there.
1305
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,960
You know it's grooved.
You know this this, this, so you
1306
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,800
know all of it.
You still plan for it, but it's
1307
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:06,400
different because there's no
mountains.
1308
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,400
There's no like winds that are
could be unexpected there.
1309
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,360
Obviously there's thunderstorms
that can pop here and there, but
1310
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:17,319
there's less of like threats
than there is for example, in
1311
01:08:17,319 --> 01:08:21,120
like Guatemala or Medellin in
Colombia landing at night over
1312
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,040
there.
Oh man, it's just fantastic.
1313
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:25,920
I love doing that.
But let me get back to your
1314
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:30,040
original question where I love
the most going to and I think my
1315
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,120
favorite countries have been
we've my wife and I have been to
1316
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,160
I think like 40 together 3637 or
40.
1317
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,920
Can you take her on a flight on
a flight with you?
1318
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:42,439
Like if you're like, have to go
for.
1319
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,600
She's a pilot.
She's a pilot too, so she.
1320
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:45,840
On the way.
Yeah, yeah.
1321
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,399
We both have the same.
Bed so cool.
1322
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,279
Yeah, so she so so.
But she and herself has been to
1323
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:53,359
70 countries.
I've been to 56.
1324
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,359
Japan is my favorite.
I think it's because like, the
1325
01:08:57,359 --> 01:09:00,920
culture, the education, the
scenery, everything.
1326
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,240
Switzerland is amazing.
Norway is amazing.
1327
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,319
When you go to these places,
you're going, you're going,
1328
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:11,439
you're not going for work,
you're going.
1329
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:12,800
No, you're.
Going, these are for fun.
1330
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,319
These are for fun, yeah.
Right.
1331
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,880
And do you get to travel?
You get discounts on travelling?
1332
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,279
Do you travel for free?
How does that work?
1333
01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:20,120
We have benefits, we have travel
benefits.
1334
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:23,080
So we can fly anywhere we want
as long as there's space.
1335
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,960
And if it's international, you
pay the taxes.
1336
01:09:26,359 --> 01:09:29,760
And then if you go on another
airline, you pay like a heavily
1337
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,800
discounted rate that they give
each other's, you know, every
1338
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,600
airline supports each other's
employees in terms of like, can
1339
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,560
you travel on us?
If there's space, you pay this
1340
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:41,840
minimal fee and that's that's
mainly why we can fly and go
1341
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,680
everywhere.
So much for fun.
1342
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,080
Right.
And did.
1343
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,840
And the 15 hours, how long did
it take to get to Japan?
1344
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,479
Shit, Japan.
Where did we do Japan from?
1345
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,360
We do Japan from Dallas.
So it was like, you know, like
1346
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,040
1415.
Yeah, Does that does that.
1347
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,440
Is that is that hard for you or
that doesn't bother you?
1348
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:04,880
Man, that would drive me crazy,
man.
1349
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,600
Good.
Question.
1350
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:13,720
Sometimes it has but I just
sometimes like dude just drink 3
1351
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,680
glasses of wine and pass out.
That's all you got to do.
1352
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,800
I just pass out dude.
I just go to sleep and sometimes
1353
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,400
like the longest flight I did
was Doha to Miami and that was
1354
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:31,720
like 16 and change dude I slept
like 9 hours out of that thing
1355
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,360
then I watched it.
Two to three more movies and
1356
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:37,760
there you go.
And then boom we're home and I'm
1357
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,560
like wow shit that's not that
bad but man if I had not slept
1358
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,520
for 9 hours I'd be going nuts.
Yeah, So Japan.
1359
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,000
You thought Japan was awesome?
Loved it.
1360
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,360
I loved it.
You loved it?
1361
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,200
I loved it.
Yeah.
1362
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,480
I even got a tattoo to my legs,
part of my sleeve.
1363
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:54,280
Really.
Yeah.
1364
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,360
Cuz we had my.
Fuji, We hiked at the top of
1365
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,080
Mount Fuji.
That was probably one of the
1366
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,560
hardest hikes we've done.
We've done hiking all over the
1367
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:06,840
world, probably have hundreds
and hundreds, hundreds of trails
1368
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,320
that we've done around the
world, and Mount Fuji was
1369
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:11,600
probably one of the hardest
ones.
1370
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:13,080
Wow.
What?
1371
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,880
What was more challenging?
What was more challenging about
1372
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,560
it?
Dude, I think, I think it was
1373
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,080
because the preparation of me, I
wasn't very well hydrated before
1374
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:26,640
we started and we went a day
after landing.
1375
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:31,760
So we weren't hourly acclimated
yet, you know, So I think a
1376
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,880
mixture of like a little bit of
fatigue, you know, not enough
1377
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,600
eating, not enough hydration and
then.
1378
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,080
But the but the mountain itself
was it was, it was like if you
1379
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,640
did that.
No, it was super, super
1380
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,160
inclined, man.
Like it got to a point where I'm
1381
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,760
like, I started cramping.
I had to stop.
1382
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:50,040
My wife kept going.
I don't know.
1383
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:54,280
She's like, she's like once she
gets going, she doesn't stop,
1384
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,440
dude.
She's like, I'll wait for you at
1385
01:11:56,440 --> 01:12:01,160
the top.
I'm like, dude, what is the deal
1386
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,440
with why?
I, I lived in I lived in Seattle
1387
01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:08,800
for a little for a for a year.
I've I drove, I drove cross
1388
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,720
country to to get there.
Rainier is awesome, man.
1389
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:15,280
Have you been, have you been out
West?
1390
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,280
Do you spend time out West?
A little bit.
1391
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:21,120
I've done some California stuff,
but I have not explored
1392
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,360
Washington or Oregon or anything
I've flown.
1393
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:24,600
Into there, but I haven't
explored.
1394
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,160
Dude.
Dude, if you like hiking and you
1395
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,680
like nature, you got to be crazy
not to spend time there.
1396
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,800
Yeah.
It's incredible.
1397
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,840
There's something about the West
Coast mountains that are so much
1398
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:43,440
more grandiose and so much more.
Like, literally awesome, awe
1399
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:44,360
inspiring.
Yeah.
1400
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,520
And I feel like the East Coast
mountains, I don't know.
1401
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,680
I don't know what and what it
is.
1402
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,480
Someone mentioned to me that
they may have been that the East
1403
01:12:50,480 --> 01:12:53,520
Coast is older and that the West
Coast mountains are newer.
1404
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,280
So like as as time went on, the
mountains kind of like flattened
1405
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,840
out, which is why they appear a
little bit a little longer.
1406
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,120
But what about the Yeah, what
about culturally?
1407
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:08,160
Your favorite place is to like
be with people because like, I
1408
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:12,480
love, for example, like Dublin,
I love the Irish, dude, the
1409
01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:18,040
Irish are awesome and and, and
you know, but obviously that's
1410
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:19,760
not the most beautiful place
I've ever been to in my entire
1411
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,840
life, you know, but I love
spending time there, like
1412
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,440
especially with people.
What is, I mean like when you go
1413
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:28,960
to these places, what do you,
what's culturally like these
1414
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:29,960
places that stand out to you,
man?
1415
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:36,600
That's a good question because I
can vibe with a lot of different
1416
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:42,000
cultures because I'm so
genuinely interested in learning
1417
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,440
about them.
Yeah.
1418
01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:51,560
That, that, you know, like in
Japan, I love how reserved they
1419
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:55,360
are to certain extent and how
they have so much education and
1420
01:13:55,360 --> 01:14:00,720
respect for people versus going
to a country where not
1421
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,840
necessarily that there's no
respect, but they're a little
1422
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,280
bit more open, right?
And a little bit more like going
1423
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:09,880
East Europe.
That was, that was kind of
1424
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,520
interesting to me because it
took some time for me to get
1425
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,240
through people and start talking
to them.
1426
01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:19,480
But once I did, oh man, it was
like, oh, OK, OK.
1427
01:14:19,480 --> 01:14:23,000
There's like, no, almost like I,
I didn't, there was like no wall
1428
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,000
or anything.
Kind of like, you know, to be
1429
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:26,600
able to, for, for us to
communicate.
1430
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,520
But it was very interesting
because in the Dr. like I
1431
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,280
mentioned before, it's instant.
I mean, you get off the airplane
1432
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:34,600
and you're already joking
around.
1433
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,280
Being professional is like a
great mixture of all that.
1434
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:39,760
So it's really hard for me to
pick one place where I
1435
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:44,560
culturally prefer.
You know, right, yeah, totally,
1436
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,560
totally, totally.
And I guess, I guess, yeah, it's
1437
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,720
a good point.
I about about especially about
1438
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,480
the Eastern Europeans because
they're they're like a rock, you
1439
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:55,920
know, on the surface, you know,
but then it's usually it's
1440
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:59,360
usually like after like once you
get past that rock, it's usually
1441
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:04,320
good humor and loyalty and like,
yeah, you know, and it's cool
1442
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,200
how it how it manifests.
My grandfather is from, was
1443
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:12,640
from, was from Poland and you
know, and he was a tough dude
1444
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,520
and he had like no problem, you
know, being an asshole if he
1445
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:19,080
wanted to be, but he, you know,
but he had such a great sense of
1446
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:22,920
humor and like, you know, and
you never and, and, and I guess
1447
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,880
it's also I guess because these
are like legitimately hard
1448
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,200
places to live, you know, like
whether it's the weather,
1449
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:33,080
whether it's the society,
whatever it is that you have to
1450
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,400
be able to like kind of flip
that serious switch on
1451
01:15:35,480 --> 01:15:38,920
immediately, you know, but like,
I feel like you can't survive
1452
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,520
without that humor either, you
know, like you kind of need like
1453
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,680
a little bit of both of them in
order to really be.
1454
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,480
Successful, completely agree,
man.
1455
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,360
I think that like if everybody
just stays that way, it's just
1456
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,320
it actually is super miserable
to live like that.
1457
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,880
So that you kind of need to
start making some sort of at
1458
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:01,280
least good sense of humor
despite, you know, to be able to
1459
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,400
like at least, you know, enjoy
some things.
1460
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,520
But it was really interesting
because in East Europe, I
1461
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,160
learned so much of the history,
you know, not only from the
1462
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,840
wars, but a lot of the communism
stuff and a lot of like the
1463
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:15,920
straight thinking and the and
the manipulation that they had
1464
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,720
over the people.
It's hard to break away from
1465
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:21,800
that.
You know, you still feel like
1466
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,240
whenever I would go to visit
museums and things like that,
1467
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,080
damn, man, you go in there and
you're like, oh fuck.
1468
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,920
Like you feel how tough that
stuff was during the war and,
1469
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,640
and communism after that and
communism in some Eastern Europe
1470
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:37,960
places were until like the 60s
or 50s.
1471
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:43,360
That's like, that's not that
long ago, you know, And the one
1472
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,760
of the most interesting things
about being able to travel the
1473
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:50,960
world is learning, obviously the
culture, but the history behind
1474
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,600
and all that.
And you start to put some things
1475
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:58,200
together as to personality and
history.
1476
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:03,120
And it's just, it's just very
interesting to know and
1477
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,480
understand because you can,
let's say you're out in Miami
1478
01:17:06,480 --> 01:17:08,160
now and you're somewhere in the
beach.
1479
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:11,360
I don't know.
You meet someone from, I don't
1480
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:12,840
know, Montenegro.
Ukraine.
1481
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:15,840
Or Ukraine or something like
that.
1482
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:20,920
Now it's like you, you have a
deeper knowledge and a deeper,
1483
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,800
deeper level of understanding
that your conversation with that
1484
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,920
person is more.
Sure.
1485
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,120
I guess like in depth.
Maybe not in depth, but more
1486
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,440
like culturally aware.
Yeah, well, I think it isn't
1487
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,880
because you guys are really
speaking more of the, you know,
1488
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,280
you guys really are speaking the
same language at a certain
1489
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,440
point.
I mean, you know, I mean, when
1490
01:17:39,440 --> 01:17:42,080
I'm talking, when you're talking
another pilot, you're speaking
1491
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:43,600
pilot language, you know, like,
yeah.
1492
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:45,920
And even though we're using the
same words, and even though
1493
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,000
you're both, you're both
speaking English, you guys are
1494
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,480
speaking another language
essentially.
1495
01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:52,320
And when you can, when you have
that kind of cultural awareness
1496
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,000
or that historical awareness,
then you can.
1497
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,360
And I think that's really what
it is with a lot of, with a lot
1498
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,360
of people, when you have a hard
time, like quote, UN quote,
1499
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,440
making conversation or you're a
good conversationalist, I think
1500
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:05,560
it just means that you're really
good at being able to put your,
1501
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,440
you know, be able to put
yourself in someone else's
1502
01:18:08,440 --> 01:18:11,320
perspective or understand where
they're coming from and then be
1503
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,520
able to relate to them based on
that, you know, right.
1504
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,160
Yeah.
Completely, but dude, what's it
1505
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:21,880
so so your wife is also a pilot
and when your dad warned you
1506
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,120
back in the day that you're
going to, you know that it's
1507
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,360
going to be hard, you're going
to be traveling missing things.
1508
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,560
Has that, has that, has that,
has that happened?
1509
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,320
How do you guys, how do you
guys, how do you guys work?
1510
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,360
How do you guys maintain your
relationship when you're
1511
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:34,880
traveling so much?
Yeah.
1512
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,360
So, you know, relationship in
the industry is obviously a
1513
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,600
little bit easier in terms of
like understanding each other's
1514
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:45,400
lifestyles and also like what
you can do to manipulate
1515
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,040
scheduling to be able to work
things out, right.
1516
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,840
So my wife, before she was a
pilot, she was actually a flight
1517
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,280
attendant for like 5-6 years
before she made the transition
1518
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,080
to wanting to be a pilot.
And the scheduling was almost
1519
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,960
the same.
So when we met 5 plus years ago,
1520
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,560
it was always a certain
manipulation, mostly on her part
1521
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,240
to change her scheduling to be
able to match mine.
1522
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,120
And that's because with her, she
had more a little bit like more
1523
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,120
of like a flexibility with her
schedule rather than mine.
1524
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:23,160
Mine was a little bit more like
locked in terms of the flying
1525
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,720
that they needed me to do.
With her, she was able to trade
1526
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:30,680
trips and do things easier.
So it kind of accustomed to be
1527
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,520
her trading and changing her
schedule around mine.
1528
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,840
And still to this day, like now
as a captain, it's a junior
1529
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:38,680
captain.
I'm on, I'm on, I'm on call.
1530
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,960
So I can't really change my
days, but she can.
1531
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,560
She's on call as well.
But her company is smaller.
1532
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,600
So they're able to work with
each person individually and be
1533
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,280
able to do these trades and
things like that.
1534
01:19:48,480 --> 01:19:53,080
So what we'll do is we will
either try to match working days
1535
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:58,840
and match off days together.
If we can't match certain days
1536
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:03,600
off or working together, then if
I get like a cool layover, I'll
1537
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:07,280
I'll try to bring her and she
can come on my layover and spend
1538
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:12,400
some time with her.
If she gets a certain layover.
1539
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,640
Sometimes they're not like long
enough.
1540
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,840
So it's sometimes it's not worth
for me to like be able to go and
1541
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,400
spend more time flying than like
in the actual layover.
1542
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,480
So.
You know, we just, we just make
1543
01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:28,160
it work on our on our office,
but we generally see each other
1544
01:20:29,440 --> 01:20:34,560
like 15 days out of the month,
16 days out of the month more.
1545
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:35,080
Wow.
Yeah.
1546
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,840
Yeah.
More 15, yeah, like 15 to like
1547
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,240
15 to 20 days out of the month.
How often do you guys fly have
1548
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,680
the same like route that you're
flying to the same place or
1549
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:44,120
almost?
Never.
1550
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:45,840
No, not at all.
Never.
1551
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:46,920
Never.
Where did she go?
1552
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,960
If you, if you think about, if
you think about this, let's say
1553
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:54,120
if somebody who works from 9:00
to 5:00, yeah.
1554
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:57,120
Besides all the other stuff that
they have to do, you only see
1555
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,560
your spouse or the person that
you're with for a couple hours a
1556
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:04,960
day where my wife and I can be
with each other the whole entire
1557
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,480
day because we're both off or.
Yeah.
1558
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,920
Not being called 15 to 20 days a
month, right.
1559
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:14,360
Yeah.
So it's awesome that in that
1560
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:15,720
sense, it's worked out really
well.
1561
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:17,960
It's not always like that
though, and I'm sure it's going
1562
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,240
to change when we have kids.
Yeah, that's going to be a whole
1563
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,400
different, you know, ball game
once we cross that line.
1564
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:30,520
But yeah, the, the, the amount
of quality of time, even if it's
1565
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:35,560
less than somebody who's always
at home is, is still a little
1566
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,720
bit different.
Yeah, I imagine for sure, for
1567
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,000
sure.
I mean, I listen, I think that's
1568
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,760
part of the, the beauty of a
relation of relationships in
1569
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,920
general, is that as long as you
guys are speaking each other's
1570
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:47,520
languages, then it's OK.
You know, then, then, then,
1571
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,440
then, then it's all great.
Like my wife and I spend an
1572
01:21:50,440 --> 01:21:53,920
enormous amount of time
together, or at least within the
1573
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,280
same vicinity of one another.
You know, like, you know, I'm
1574
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,280
work from home and, you know,
she, you know, she, she's
1575
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,400
working part time at the moment,
but she just had, we just had a
1576
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:02,640
kid two months ago.
So she's.
1577
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,200
Congrats.
She's been around.
1578
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:05,360
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
1579
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,680
Dude, this is my there's #2 it's
fucking wild, dude.
1580
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,640
Wow.
I can't even begin to tell you,
1581
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,040
man.
And there's, there's really no
1582
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:17,640
words, but yeah, except for
chaos.
1583
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:21,560
But it's amazing.
It's a love and it's chaos.
1584
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,720
That's the two words that I
would put there.
1585
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,040
But yeah.
But yeah, we spend a lot of time
1586
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,640
together and then but a lot of
times we'll be like, even though
1587
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:33,680
we've been in the same house
together for 10 hours, you know,
1588
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:34,720
I haven't, I barely spoke to
her.
1589
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,560
You know, I've been working,
I've been doing a podcast.
1590
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,840
I work for a jog.
I go, you know, I, I, you know,
1591
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,000
she, she, you know, she has to
run, you know, she runs out.
1592
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,480
She, she goes to cut, you know,
she goes to see a patient or she
1593
01:22:43,480 --> 01:22:45,880
goes to, you know, practice, you
know, doing a couple of
1594
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,160
ultrasounds and like, and then
we look at each other like we've
1595
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:50,720
been together all day, but I
feel like I haven't seen you or
1596
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:52,880
spoken to you all day.
So like, it's all about, you
1597
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,960
know, I think it's all just
about like the ability to
1598
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:56,680
communicate.
That's what I've noticed is just
1599
01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,440
like, and yeah, and, and
communicating the hard stuff is,
1600
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:03,880
is also important because and,
and figure out how to phrase it
1601
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,320
like, yeah, you know, she's had
to like, you know, I've been
1602
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:09,880
travelling a bunch recently back
and forth to Florida and I was
1603
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:13,200
again like I was in Israel and
Amsterdam and I had like 10
1604
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,000
hours in Barcelona, which I
thought was really cool.
1605
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:21,280
But you know, and, and then she
said to me, he's like, I just
1606
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:23,240
feel like she's like, I don't
want to say this, like, I don't
1607
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:24,800
want you.
I'm not trying to start a fight.
1608
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,720
I'm not trying to get you upset.
Just like, I just feel like we
1609
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:28,720
haven't like had much of a
relationship recently.
1610
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,160
And like, just like, and just
the preface with A, I'm not
1611
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,600
starting, I'm not trying to
fight and B, this is how I feel.
1612
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,440
What, you know, what do you
think about that?
1613
01:23:39,480 --> 01:23:42,640
You know, it, it, it was, it was
almost open-ended and it was an
1614
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:47,000
invitation to, to collaborate
again, as opposed to, you know,
1615
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:48,840
some kind of some kind of
conflict.
1616
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:53,120
And I feel like that took time
for us to figure out, but since
1617
01:23:53,440 --> 01:23:57,160
we have, it's been crucial.
That's good.
1618
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,800
And I mean, at least the line of
communication is there, which is
1619
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,160
the hardest part, right?
Sometimes what is it that I'm
1620
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,680
trying to communicate is hard,
right?
1621
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,120
Cuz you sometimes you can't even
put into words what you're
1622
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:10,880
actually.
Trying to.
1623
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:14,040
What you're feeling, right?
And, and, and, and it takes a
1624
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,560
certain level of, I guess,
experience and time in a
1625
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,480
relationship to be able to
communicate that with your
1626
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:25,560
partner effectively, right?
Because then we misinterpret
1627
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,160
what the other person's trying
to say and then it goes out from
1628
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:29,640
there, right?
But it happens like stuff like
1629
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,200
that happens all the time.
But that's nice though.
1630
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,080
It's nice that you know, you
guys at least you can able get
1631
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,800
that line of communication out
and then work on it from there,
1632
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,920
which is which is huge man,
that's amazing.
1633
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:44,880
Yeah, definitely.
Are you a UFC fan with all your
1634
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,480
with all your training and all
your working out?
1635
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,640
Yeah, no, I I definitely love
it.
1636
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,880
I got more into UFC within the
past two years, so I don't
1637
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:53,520
really know.
Like.
1638
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:58,360
All, all of them.
But you know me from martial
1639
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:04,600
arts I I love more of like the
discipline, self-defense aspect
1640
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,720
of it.
I'm not in it to go in and fight
1641
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,480
people.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
1642
01:25:09,480 --> 01:25:13,000
Me, I'm just, I just do it
because I really love it.
1643
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,800
And if something were to ever
happen, I at least have tools
1644
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:17,320
that I can help.
Sure.
1645
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,640
Self-defense.
You know my family and I.
1646
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:25,680
Yeah, yeah, I cuz I've been what
do you I think that I think
1647
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,440
Taporia is going to murder
Olivera this weekend.
1648
01:25:28,440 --> 01:25:32,240
I'm a little and I'm a little
sad about it, man, but I, I this
1649
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,040
guy.
I know I love Olivera.
1650
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:38,080
He's he's such a great team
player like in terms of like
1651
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,360
respect to the other team and
his own team and his opponent.
1652
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,760
I think it's it's wonderful.
He's like one of the most loved
1653
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,280
people in the UFC.
But Ilya, it's also a man.
1654
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,440
I I love that.
I love the way that guy fights.
1655
01:25:49,440 --> 01:25:51,640
He's.
Dude I love the way he fights.
1656
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,680
I think he's much younger though
than Olivera I think.
1657
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,920
He is and he's going to knock
his head off dude.
1658
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,120
I think, I really think so.
I think he cuz I heard him, I
1659
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,480
heard him on Rogan and he said
he usually walks around I think
1660
01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:08,080
at like 185 and he, he was
fighting at 1:45.
1661
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,920
He's like to not have to lose
that extra 10 lbs.
1662
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,920
He goes, I'm going to, he goes
and maybe he's lying.
1663
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,120
Maybe, you know, maybe he's
making it up.
1664
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,600
I don't know how this kind of
stuff works, dude, but I would
1665
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,040
love to see him when I would
love to see him be a family.
1666
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:24,520
What was it?
Flyweight, featherweight,
1667
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:26,720
lightweight and middle weight
champ, dude.
1668
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,120
I want him to beat everyone,
man.
1669
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,480
I'm I'm rooting for him.
I know, me too.
1670
01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:33,440
I, I, it's gonna be a real it's,
it's in June, right?
1671
01:26:33,440 --> 01:26:36,160
June 28th or July?
No, it's this weekend.
1672
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:37,080
It's.
This weekend.
1673
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:38,240
OK, Yeah, this.
Weekend.
1674
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:39,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you gonna be?
1675
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:40,440
Are you gonna be?
Are you gonna be?
1676
01:26:40,440 --> 01:26:42,160
Are you gonna be flying this?
Weekend.
1677
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:43,880
Yeah, I'm on call.
So I don't, I don't know,
1678
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:48,280
usually like they'll let me know
3-2 to three hours before I
1679
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,240
gotta go fly.
They're like, I don't, I don't
1680
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:51,880
know where I'm going.
I don't know what time I'm
1681
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,040
going.
I just know that my schedule
1682
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,880
starts at 7:00 in the morning on
certain days and at 7:00 in the
1683
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,600
morning, they can call me all
the way up to 7:00 PM at night.
1684
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:01,040
And I.
Know where I'm going?
1685
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,680
Yeah, I don't know where I'm
going.
1686
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:04,120
I don't know how many flights
I'm doing.
1687
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,480
I don't know any of that but.
Wow, does that change as you, as
1688
01:27:08,480 --> 01:27:09,960
you, as you go through your
career?
1689
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,560
Yeah, as you get more senior,
you're start to be able to pick.
1690
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,560
Oh, OK, No longer am I in
reserve.
1691
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,800
I can, you know, fly four day
trips if I want, then three
1692
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,720
days.
So the most lucrative is like
1693
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:25,000
2/2 day trips.
And it takes, it's probably
1694
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,920
gonna take me years, like
probably like 10 years to get
1695
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:29,560
there.
Yeah, well, we'll get there.
1696
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,560
But dude, I, I love being
alcohol, right.
1697
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:34,320
One, the, the element of
surprise, like where you're
1698
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:35,920
going.
And a lot of the times it's
1699
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,880
easier trips than actual trips
that you can bid for in the
1700
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:43,520
beginning of the month.
And sometimes you end up doing
1701
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:48,040
trips that are awesome and your
seniority cannot hold it if you
1702
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,280
were to request it in the
beginning of the month, right?
1703
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,240
Because let's say, I don't know,
a captain called out sick and
1704
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,680
it's all of a sudden it's like a
24 hour Punta Cana lay over you.
1705
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,720
Like my God, I could have, I
wouldn't seen this in years.
1706
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,120
But guess what?
I'm all called a new.
1707
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,560
Let's go.
Dude, such a freaking great
1708
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:08,960
attitude about it.
Seriously, because I I, it's
1709
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,520
because I could, you could, I
could, I could imagine a million
1710
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,800
different conversations with a
million different people where
1711
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:17,440
they would be like, yeah, you
know, I wasn't sure, you know,
1712
01:28:17,440 --> 01:28:19,320
you know, I wasn't sure where I
was going to go.
1713
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,040
And I was like, I have to go
back to there again.
1714
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,360
I have to go back to Colombia
and I like right, right.
1715
01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:26,040
I love enthusiasm, dude.
I really, I think that I think
1716
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:27,760
that that's what makes the
difference between a successful
1717
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,760
ultimately career or, you know,
satisfying, you know, life than
1718
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,560
than not is to have that kind of
attitude.
1719
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:39,120
I will say this though, the hard
part about this scheduling and
1720
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:45,200
the attitude is knowing that
man, you're doing something at
1721
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,960
home and you're busy and you
don't think you're gonna get
1722
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,280
called.
And then all of a sudden they
1723
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:53,040
call you and you're in the
middle of a project, you're in
1724
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,840
the middle of something and
you're like, fuck, like I was
1725
01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:01,600
not expecting to get called.
Like damn it, right for like for
1726
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,400
like a minute it you're just
like, come on, like why do they
1727
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:07,120
have to call out sick?
Or why did this?
1728
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:08,680
Why did that?
Like are you kidding?
1729
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:13,440
And then, like you, you process.
It and you got to do you got.
1730
01:29:13,480 --> 01:29:14,640
To do you got to do what you got
to do.
1731
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,040
And like this trip is not too
bad.
1732
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:19,120
And honestly my wife is like
dude, you need to stop
1733
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:23,000
complaining when you get a trip.
But The thing is, is like, if I
1734
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,560
wasn't busy with something else,
I wouldn't because like, I'm a
1735
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,960
task person, man.
I I don't, I don't want to leave
1736
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:30,880
shit undone, right?
Yeah.
1737
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,080
So like if I'm in the middle of
something and they call me, I'm
1738
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:37,320
like, what bothers me is that I
can't finish what I started.
1739
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:39,640
Not that they called me.
I'm just bothered that I'm
1740
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,240
interrupted.
Yeah.
1741
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:44,000
Well, do you ever get called in
the middle of like a fight?
1742
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,120
Like if you ever like big ring
with your wife or anything like
1743
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,080
that, do you get called and
you're like, no shit, I got to
1744
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:49,120
go.
I have.
1745
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:54,160
I have been called in the middle
of of like MMA training.
1746
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:55,400
Oh really?
Yeah.
1747
01:29:55,480 --> 01:29:56,400
Oh yeah.
Shit.
1748
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,120
I got around.
I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, I'm
1749
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,800
rolling with someone.
And then like phone rings and
1750
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:03,400
I'm like, oh, shit.
And then it's like, you got to
