The latest career update on our hero Requiem

[busdriver]

Just a short note on @SYN_Requiem's airline pilot career advancement. Tomorrow (31 Dec 2019) he will fly his last trip as an FO (First Officer) at Endeavor Air. Early next month he will drag his sorry warm weather Aussie a$$ up to the frozen tundra that is Minnesota to complete his Captain Upgrade training. Think about it, he started his aviation career back in Jan 2015, and five years later some corporate lunatics have lost their damn minds and will be giving him the keys to a jet and allowing him to wander aimlessly east of the Mississippi River. 

 

Please join me in saluting his good fortune. Yes, extending your middle finger whilst chanting, "you're number one," would be appropriate.

Congratulations and blue skies.

[TWC_Ace]

What is even more amazing is that Cpt. Darling and I are the only one not becoming RL pilots in original =IRFC= squadron (from ROF).

[BMA_FlyingShark]

Congratulations, Requiem.

 

Have a nice day.

 

[unreasonable]

Well done to Requiem.    (He can always fall back on making corporate training videos if he gets bored of commercial flying).   

[Asgar]

Congrats mate! Did i mention I'm an aircraft mechanic? may our paths never cross so none of us get in trouble ? 

[Mad_Mikhael]

Congratulations Requiem! 

I love your videos, wish you the best.

[DD_Arthur]

Very many congratulations to Reqiuem!  Thats quite an acheivement

 

Does this mean the future is Delta and the Airbus A330-900?

[Guest deleted@50488]

Wow!  That's a rocket-like climb in is pilot career !

 

I wish Requiem All the Best for 2020, and he's new left seat experience ;-)

Big congrats! What an incredible accomplishment!!

[Chief_Mouser]

Well done Requiem; it just proves that we can all do what we dream if we want it enough. Thanks for the vids - and keep them coming when you have the time!

[Lusekofte]

That must be a natural born leader / aviator. 
He shown here in this community a great passion on teaching everybody the in and outs of all planes, I am not surprised, but that does not make it less amazing

[LuftManu]

I am really happy for you Requiem! The pleasure of reaching your dreams!

[Rjel]

Congratulations! I always admire those who follow their dreams and accomplish their goals. 

[DEDMANcjp]

Well done sir.

You have the voice of an airline captain if I ever did hear one.

[keeno]

What a fantastic bit of news, really well done and good luck for the future.

[rowdyb00t]

Congrats @SYN_Requiem

   Love your vids by the way! 

[SR-F_Winger]

CONGRATS Dude?‍✈️. Very well done. And in this time....
For this life its too late for me. Next life ill become a pilot too.
Or maybe when they invent a TRUE reverse aging pill??

 

[Requiem]

I appreciate the well wishes very much! Cheers everyone, it's definitely going to be a different experience in the left seat but I'm looking forward to it.

 

Apparently it's a good gig as I'm told you get to fly with your favourite Captain every trip!

 

YouTube wise the vids will continue in 2020 once I'm finished with upgrade training ?

[Ghost666]

Big time congrats Req!  It's been motivating to watch your journey unfold.

[69th_Panp]

Congratulations! Requiem!

Jim

You did say he would stay EAST of the Mississippi River right ?

Whew I feel safe now ! as long as he stays on that side of the river ?

 

[COVIDCowboy]

Congrats Requiem! Let your employer know that BoN will be out soon and you'll need some time to teach us all how to fly the new aircraft!

[SYN_Speck]

Well done Req!

[Feathered_IV]

Congratulations, this is fantastic news!  I would be very happy if one day in the future I was sitting at a window seat and heard your voice on the intercom saying; This is your Captain speaking... 

[FlyingH]

Congratulations! Are you staying east of the Mississippi as someone mentioned? In that case, if you fly across the "pond" (Atlantic ocean) we may have to keep our heads down when you make those low passes you show us in some of your vids!

Don't forget your snow shovel.

[GSP_Hund]

Knowing all that is involved in "real" flight training, mucho respecto to Requiem!

[von_Michelstamm]

If I recognize his voice on a flight I better get a pre-9/11 style cockpit tour and a pair of those plastic wings they give to children

[Bremspropeller]

Congrats Requiem!

Now do some of that pilot-sheet!

[E4GLEyE]

Congratulations and a huge thank you for your videos that aid me to flail around slightly more collected in the WW2 kites @SYN_Requiem

[ITAF_Rani]

Congrats Requiem..?

[pilotpierre]

A hearty congratulation Requiem for a well earned and deserved career move that has paid off in spades. Bravo Zulu.

[Creep]

Congrats Requiem, that is quite an achievement! 

[Beazil]

Way to go Requiem!!  ?

[Requiem]

I'm out of "reactions" for a bit, but thanks again everyone for sticking your head in and posting. I'm already prepping myself for Minnesota weather by shoving my head in the freezer for 30 mins a day!

[312_Lazy]

Congratulations!

[itsbillyfrazier]

Congrats Requiem! I really enjoy your YT channel - thanks

[spitfirejoe]

Congratulations from another airliner Buddy. I know what those trainings and type ratings mean, lot of stress and endless study time.

I wish you good luck and always happy landings. I just landed in cold Beijing, all best wishes from here.

 

By the way, thank you for all your nice and helpful Videos about IL-2.

 

Best regards and Happy new Year,

 

Joe
