Speaker 1 (00:00):
Paulina, I got it.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
We gotta talk, yeah, because I can sometimes tell your
state of mind, most of your states of mind. When
I look at the sheet that we write our ideas
on now it really I would say, eighty five percent
is just a it's just a diary.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's just it is. It's just let me just say
a thought.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I have to put it somewhere, and then I well,
I didn't have to be there because then I read
it and I go, what exactly would I do with them? However,
you're on pilot TikTok.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Apparently I'm on something.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
It's pilot Airlines Secrets about Everything.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay, Well the first thing that you and you actually
texted me about this, so you've had two pilot ideas
in two days that you want to talk about on
the show. The first one, yes, you texted me something
to the what did you write?

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Like?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
It was?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
It was a video that I found on TikTok and
it basically says that.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
As a pilot you have like a list.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
I guess, so you can create a list of other pilots.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
That you don't want to be paired with.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
And I thought that was so funny and so shady
that is shady, and I'm like that, that's like, I mean,
can use that everywhere in life, Like I want to
make a list of who.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't want to be next to, repair it to ever.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Would love that, But I didn't know that was actually real.
I thought it was like a funny parody or something.
I don't know, like everyone's just being silly on the TikTok.
But then friends like, no, it's real, Like you could
do that depending what kind of pilot you are, where
you're going or something.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
So commercial flights, I'm assuming, right, right, Okay, so I.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Think it depends on the airline.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
But there's a thing called avoidance list of where it's
the first officer you can fly with a captain and
then decide afterwards you never want to fly with that
captain ever again, and then put them on an avoidance list,
and then the airline has record of, or at least
the union does, of who's the most avoided pilot.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
And like you should look into that because you might.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Think, but you know, it's also a union, so you
don't really get fired from being a jerk.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You get fired for being like bad.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
But anyway, so yeah, really you could like write on
the thing that you don't want to fly with someone again.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
And it's like.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
You can't an avoidance list.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Well, I think today i'd be on yours, So honestly,
you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
None of you would be on mine, even though I
spend more time with you than anyone else in my
own life. But I could make a list of people
in the industry who'd be on my avoidance.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
With me today tomorrow, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
And then then you wrote this, I just it is
random to me, Paulina. I'm on pilot airport TikTok, and
I don't know how I got here. I just learned
what Class C airport was yep. I can't wait to
see what I'll learn tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
So what is yep? And I quote, what is Class
C airport?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
So I'd like to hear because I think I know,
but i'd like to hear.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I hope you know I'm right.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I'm well from what I.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Gathered my information that I've gathered your research, my research.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Team, which with me.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Basically, a Class C airport is like one of the
most it can be considered a dangerous airport to land into,
and only twenty to fifty pilots know how to do.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
What wasn't the one we landed in Michigan that one
time like difficult? The one where you couldn't see the run?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Won't we landed in a parking lot next to a Walmart?

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, it seems like in the Himalayan mountains or something.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Just trying to keep the flying theme going. But I'm
kind of running out.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, what is then? Type?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I think I think that's the thing that the lip
that doesn't go away. But no, no, okay, tell me.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
What it is. Okay, I'm on the wrong holler what
it is? Okay?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Informed?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
But here's the problem as a pilot, Like I've heard
you say all these things now in the last five minutes,
and now I think I'm going to screw it up
because like I don't know what's true anymore.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
She does make me a question my own reality a
lot of the time.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's Charlie airspace is But I think you're referring to
and that's the scene.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Now you got me?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Can I know these things? And I'm now confused based
on your description?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
What does Chad say?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
No, it's it's a it's an air it's a type
of airport. It doesn't has nothing to do with the
difficulty of land airport. That wouldn't be category no. No,
it's Class C airspace. But it has nothing to do
with the difficulty of landing at the airport. It has
to do with the weather minimums and the size of
the airport and the airspace shape and things like that.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
For the difficult Like I can't no, not.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Necessarily no, Like I'm trying to think of an example
of one, like O'Hare is a Class Bravo airspace the
biggest and and then that would be like LaGuardia or
at Lands those would be would be one step down
from that, so less busy airspace airport, but it has.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Nothing to do with the difficulty of landing there.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
So what would that be considered like if you like,
because like from Portugal, you know, it's famous for its
challenging coastal approach.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Wow, Ever, I'm aerious, king are constantly going touch grass
and Portugal complex run yeah, yeah, down my lane.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
God, Pauline, I got to be like everything else in life.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I come in here and we do stuff and then
I walk in I don't know the facts anymore, Like
I think I'm getting dumber. No, not because of you,
just just I think I'm just getting dumber. No, but no,
it has nothing to do with the difficulty of landing
at the place. You Actually very small airports that are
like very like class G or airspace like that can
be a difficult place to live. It doesn't, that doesn't.

(05:31):
Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Like interesting, Yeah,
I don't know what you were looking at.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
I was looking at one of the most difficult landings
as somebody was on they were in a commercial flight
to I forgot which country, and they said it was
the most difficult land there's one.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I think I know what you're talking about, and I
don't know what airspace it is. But there is an
that like there is a type of approach in one
particular airport that like only fifty or one hundred pilots
are qualified to do. And you basically are like dodging
between mountains and then.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Landing and for parro and then that's find.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, yeah, you have to be especially trained to land
these things because it's like you know.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
And there's like twenty pilots, like it goes against everything
you're like you're supposed to go below the mountains.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
You're like going in between terrain like it goes. Yeah,
you're not really supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
But yeah, yeah, see see.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
I'm learning something. And tomorrow I'm gonna learn even more.
What's the hardest landing landing you have ever done?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Off Tomorrow, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Coming in tomorrow. I need a bribe.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Tomorrow. I'm learning. Man, we might Tomorrow could be a
day we were supposed.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
To work in.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I'm gonna be snuggled in like my little uh grasshopper
feet riving together. Yeah, this place will see me coming tomorrow. No,
I'm gonna be honest, I don't know about it.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I don't know that i'd I seel like.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I've been with you and you've been like, oh, I
can't see the runway, but I'm you know, I'm chill.
So I'm like, all right, well let's try to find it.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, we went to well, I can't.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I was going to Dallas one day and you came
with me to go see somebody in Austin that you
were humping and it.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Was a friend.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
But that's about with the humpy um just shake your
rump all I want to do assume is that we
were singing the.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Whole way over.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
That is what we were singing.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, you were humping it, but anyway, it's fine.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
In Colorado, you had me like I was flying.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
I was in the air. You know, you weren't helping
anybody there.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
No, I was going.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
That was turbulence. That was wait, hold on where you were.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I was trying to see anybody in the back with you.
I didn't see.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
No.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
That was a very mean day.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
For those of you who don't know, I'm a pilot
and I have a little putt putt played and occasionally
Candon will hit your ride with me places. And because
we're the only single ones, so we're the only ones
that have free will, so we're the only ones that,
like on a Friday afternoon, can go, hey, you want
to go do this thing or whatever and say, okay,
she'll come with me to do this.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Kids baby less right exactly.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
So.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
But one day we were going to Vegas for an
iHeart thing and you came with me and we went
into Denver, which is notoriously turbulent, and we were getting
rocked on the way in there, and I look back
and you were trying I guess you had to pee,
and you were trying everything in your power. You had
every every part of you was crossed, and I.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Felt scared if I had an accident there.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I don't know what if you peed in my if
you peed my airplane.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
You would never speak to me again.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
But I felt really bad because there's nothing you could
do because we had to land, and it was just
like we were just getting rocked. And then the other
time I took you to your hometown and you were like,
can we go to this airport in my hometown. I'm like, sure,
no problem, it's closer Birmingham, Michigan.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Is that what it was? And I'm like, sure, no problem.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
So I looked this thing up and that's a little airport, okay.
And then we come, you know, rolling up on this
thing and I'm like, well, that's a Walmart parking lot
and apparently that's the runway, and then that's the road,
so I better pick the right one. And it was
like I thought we were landing, Like there were people.
I could see them, I could see what was in
their grocery carts as they were coming out of the Walmart.
I'm like, oh, pineapples are in season or whatever. And

(08:52):
I met Nana. But yeah, that was a wild one
because I was like, oh, that's a tiny little runway there.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
What would you do if you said, I don't know
where the runway is, girl?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
And I didn't say I didn't even know where the
runway was. We were flying into Dallas and the weather
was low. It was not good visibilities that we flew
in approach, and at at one point you were like,
where's the runway? I'm like, well, I think it's in
front of us. I sure, hope.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
So I'm taking a wheel. Yeah, that's you don't know
what a runway? It was in front of us. We
just couldn't see it.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Again, I do have a little steering wheel on my side.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
And then we saw did we not see it?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I got this. You can't see the runway? Never tell
me never couldn't a cloud, but got the front is white.
You better be like, I know exactly where I'm going.
Oh boy, I want to take that wheel so fair.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Right? You know, one day I'll take you flying and
I'll let you take the whee. We'll see how No,
but that I remember that day we popped out. There
was a runway. We landed, we landed, we arrived. We
landed with mice Firm landing, and you were like, oh,
we're here, and I'm like, yes we are.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
You were like, we're not going to do that airport again,
though I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I continue to do that airport. So the little one right, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm switching stories.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Oh I'm I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I couldn't see the runway because I was it was
currently being blocked by sheep going across it or where
they know we were, you know. But and then the
Dallas one was bad weather, but we found it, we
saw it.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, that was what they told us to do, the
air trafficking.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, anyway, I was just curious how you got on
this thing. And now you're telling me about Class Charlie
Airspace and N Paulina.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
This is amazing.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
I'm telling you, I'm going to come with more information.
We're going to work do this together so they can't
learn it. I might my pockets license and I might
be just like you.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know you should.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Oh no, but we got to check a lot of
things and go on time and.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Don't be honest. Yeah, I think I think. No, I
don't know if that one's for you.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
You don't think so, no, no.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
No, we got to really focus the whole time.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
The whole time.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, and we got to remember, yeah, you can't take
that medicine.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Don't want you taken it. If you need medicine to focus,
they're not interesting.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
They would hate to see me comments.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
They also don't like you if.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
You need medicine to be happy either, they're not interested
in that either.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Oh boy, Yeah, you guys have a very small niche
a very small girl, right, sore?

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Sad? Yeah, they're fine if you're sad and don't have
any concentration. They're okay with that because they don't want
you to take any medicine for it. So fortunately, Uh yeah,
I'm I'm all said, I'm able to function somehow.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'm proud of you.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Man.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
This is a lot, it's a whole new world.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I'm okay. Well, I'm learning about it from you too.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
So did you ever think in this life we would
be the same.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
No? I didn't, so knowledgeable.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
About the same. No, we we are the same in
many ways.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
You're a pilot co pilots.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna get you a little captain set
to wear.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
And they'll be great.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
I would watch that show of youtubeing commercial pilots together.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
I'd be like, hey, Paulina, did you put the gear down?
I think I'm not sure, but last time, but last
time I asked him, you didn't, So did you put
it down?

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think it's yeah, it's obviously down. It's not crash down.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
No Pi.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Hey Paulina, how's the weather where we're going? I think
it's good.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
I got my shorts on. We're good.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
He puts you on his list, yeahs or whatever.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
You're on my avoidance list. Somehow you became a captain
now too, which is crazy. The biggest stories of the
day after God got in doachy new music. It's uh
oh runway the first time seeing this. Look what we've
done here. This is why we don't win any awards
