Video: Livin’ the Dream! A Day in the Life of an Airline Pilot
Captain Eric Auxier, who also happens to be a writer and blogger, produced a great video detailing a day in the life of an airline pilot. From wake up call to shutdown checklist, Auxier illustrates not only what he does before and after a flight (with some added humor along the way), but also what happens when his airbus A319 is cruising along at 32,000 feet.

The ending, the ending, hehehe!!
Loved the video. My eldest son has been an American Airline pilot for lo these many years. When he calls, my first words are "Where are you?" It could be any part of the country, Canada or Mexico. The video shows me the processes that go into a pilot's day while flying. Interesting video. Thank you.
And according to the video, who knows how many grandkids you have ;)
Hi Michael, I don't know if you mean me but I am the little, old lady who wrote about my son, the pilot. Just for the record, I had eight children, have 18 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren with the 20th to be born in August and one ( so far) great-great grandchild. Have a great day. Muriel D.
Nicely produced, thoughtful, tasteful and enjoyable. Do another one with slightly slower pacing.
Actually, "jbqwik", that occurred to me as well. But, since I'm retired, and such ideas as "VBlogs" were still in the future in 2008...(or at least, in my experience), I never had the chance to contribute and thus, I am hardly one to "criticize"...but.....
I hope that if anyone takes anything away from this video, it is at the very least, the utter 'commonality' of it. What I mean by that is...we pilots are only Humans, with a particular skill. Yes, it is a skill to be considered very specific, with a LOT of hard work behind it.
But, it is a skill that CAN be attainable, by many people. Just a matter of applying oneself.
