00:00I knew I wanted to fly since a very young age. My dad was a pilot in the military.
00:06You know, I spent so much time in an airport, I was like, yeah, I might as well get paid to do it.
00:10Following in my father's footsteps, just doing it, you know, on the civilian side.
00:19So we kind of just met in college. I went up to visit my friend, his best friend, in college,
00:25and they were roommates, and so I ended up meeting Rob, and then throughout COVID,
00:31right after COVID hit, and then throughout that, us three were kind of the only people
00:37that we really hung out with just because, you know, everything was on lockdown.
00:50I would always text our friend Jack, you know, if there was turbulence, like,
00:54what's going on, help me, and when I met Rob, just because Jack was kind of annoyed
00:58with it at that point, Rob became my person. I would text him every single time I was on
01:02a flight, like, what's going on, like, there's turbulence, help me, and he would just have
01:06to be like, you're good. Her sister's also a very nervous flyer, and they're pinging
01:11us back and forth, just questions, you know, everything about flying.
01:24Asking my pilot husband questions from a nervous flyer. Okay, first one in my personal favorite.
01:40Shortly after takeoff, why does it feel and sound like the plane just, like, shuts off?
01:44It feels like that because we reduce power, kind of let the nose come down a little bit,
01:48which allows us to speed up so we can pick up the flaps. Think of it like you're in a car,
01:53and you're just taking your foot off the gas pedal for a few seconds.
02:01The lack of control is obviously never going to get better, because you're just not in control,
02:06so you have nothing out of that. But the lack of knowledge has definitely helped. I mean,
02:11I probably know more about airplanes than the average person, but I think just, like,
02:18I think the biggest thing was learning how much training that these guys go through.
02:23Because again, like, you're just, you're kind of putting your life into their hands for
02:27however many hours you're on that plane.
