The jet lag. You know, before in the regional airlines, normally you fly in the morning, you come back at night and you do a couple of flights during the day. Here, if you do one long leg, you stay the night somewhere with a big difference in time zone, then you have to come back. So some people think pilots can deal better with a jet lag. We don't.

But the big switch I think is starting to enjoy the pilot life. Like really, because till now I was in a kind of a race since I started till day one to get as many hours as you need to get to the first airline, which is the regional. And then in a race to get to the major airline where I fly right now. So I was in a race all the time. And sometimes I forgot to enjoy the journey.

And this is also something I'm telling people, like, enjoy the journey and all part of it because... Right now, it's not a secret that also I love my lifestyle. I love my life. I love flying these big jets and my company. But sometimes you do miss the small aircraft where you could actually fly. It's not a secret that our airplanes, 90, 95% of the time we fly on autopilot.

We do have a lot of tasks to do during and we are in control of the airplane eventually. But you do miss like, you know, hand flying and you miss all those little stuff and maybe missing a little bit of flight instructing, just a little bit. It's important to enjoy every step of the way. So I think the big thing right now is really enjoying my lifestyle finally.

98 to 95% of the flight is normally on autopilot. We have a lot of tasks during autopilot. We have to monitor traffic and weather and fuel and systems and reporting points and working as a crew if something comes up from the cabin or from the cockpit. We have a lot of monitoring to do.

And it's not just we're sitting there like most people think, but a lot of the flights right now are mostly automated.

I came here on vacation when I just was kind of my first time I was surfing. I was surfing in Waikiki Beach.

I really started surfing like one and a half years ago, almost two years ago.

Super new, super new. And I enjoy every part of it. It teach me a lot of things about myself, which is insane. You know, you also have to deal with a lot of fears. And I think surfing is a really a mental game more than it's the physical game. So I came to Hawaii for vacation and about two weeks I was loving it and I just decided to stay.

Yeah. I knew I wanted to work for them, but it's kind of all, everything happened at the same time and it was amazing.
