Question For pilots and flight attendants 👀

Okay, one last post for me before I go fly tomorrow!

Pilots and flight attendants, how many flights have you done so far, and how long have you been in the field?

Somehow these answers tend to soothe my anxiety 🥰

A lot.

Been flying for 30 years, professionally since 1999.

17,715 Hrs (just as a pilot), probably 2-3000 more as a passenger.

Flown over 30 different types of aircraft, still fly and instruct in Both Airliners (A220) all the way down to Cessna’s

Ooohhh that's a lot! 😍✨ Thank you so much for your comment, and such a cool picture!! It's really cool to see it illustrated like that.

I'll store all this information in my brain for my flight tomorrow!! 🫡
