How valid is this male pilot in an Irish context

You graduated from the Irish Air Corps and are now a fully fledged 4 bar male aer lingus captain.

Or you're native Irish Male and fly for Ryanair.

Does what he sez in the video ring true in an Irish context?

If you don't summarise, the only people who can answer that are the sort of people who will sit through five minutes of that sh!t.

Don’t bother summarising OP, it is muck.

There should be a site wide rule that the video title must be included when adding any YouTube links.

Yeah more of a poor AH thread tbh but still got answers from the natives all the same.

Basically it's an American airline pilot musing on the types of jobs the women they go out with tend to have. Air hostesses, nurses and teachers apparently. He goes around the matter with the usual lazy interjections of movie edit memes and comes to the conclusion that all of the above jobs are in the caring type industries and that pilots moan and bitch all the time and this is a good fit, or something.

There, I've suffered through it, so ye don't have to. I take PayPal.

I mean, it does make sense that a lot of them end up dating/going out with cabin crew members, it's a simple matter of numbers and environments. It'd be interesting to see how many female pilots date/marry male cabin crew members


He is a bit right on some little things - what a lot of people don't realize is that behind the facade of "glamour" and exclusivity, pilots tend to be...well, huge nerds, as flying a modern aircraft requires quite a bit of knowledge about the machine and its subsystems, not to mention physics concepts and some of the related maths. The times when a cool dude in a leather jacket showed up, threw his cigar out, stepped in to the cockpit and took a recalcitrating mass of metal and fuel to the skies "stick in hand" are looooong gone .


The "new airframe envy" he mentions sounds a lot like what we engineers go through when a different department gets new laptops / tools / machinery
