Man the sacrifice tons of people make for their kids and others is so amazing. I’m away from my kids a little and I miss them so much. My heart hurts. I can’t imagine doing it for decades. Damn. I give her so much credit. Must’ve been so damned hard.

u/Inside-Finance-2962 1d ago

Beautiful. Those are Happy tears. Her hard work finally paying off.

u/Senselesspassion 1d ago

Yeah, a parents sacrifice is the most honest one. Truly a wonderful moment for them

u/Basic_Baker_5185 22h ago

What a blessing to have a mother like that who spent her life so kids could have a better life! Nothing can come close to a love of a mother.

u/NoEquivalent538 1d ago

Flying school takes a toll on you huh

7

u/Baked_tatow 21h ago

You joke but apparently being in the business does that to you. I don’t know how to translate it well, but something about people working in the air traffic control tower being twenty years younger than they look

7

u/NotForPlural 15h ago

Air traffic control and pilot are two very different professions

1

u/Baked_tatow 15h ago

I would think it’s the fact that they’re responsible for so many lives, for so, so long.
But I wouldn’t really know, I’m not in the flying business.

6

u/NoEquivalent538 20h ago

Probably the stress and tension ages the body

2

u/Baked_tatow 19h ago

That’s what too much responsibility, with no actual super power does to a person.

u/FunTadpole3369 17h ago

And he’s not bias he does this with all of the flight attendants

u/ShredsGuitar 4h ago

Inam always surprised by how the comments changes for the same video depending upon the sub.

I remember seeing this video on a different sub and comments were very very different.

Aaand, now in crying. Thanks Reddit.

u/japanfoodies 1d ago

Too much kissing

16

u/ssgtgriggs 1d ago

not everyone has to adhere to what you deem normal. that’d be a normal amount of kissing in my culture given the emotional situation. different cultures show affection differently.

1

u/Puzzled-Mastodon-175 9h ago

Kissing on the cheeks is super sweet but the kissing in the neck made it a bit awkward for me.

0

u/japanfoodies 4h ago

Thank you. You understand me. That is what I was referring, too. You dont kiss your mother on the neck like that. I kiss my J-wife/mom like that, not my biological mom!

u/Environmental-Pop-67 16h ago

No. Do you know how much free time pilots get per week. Maybe 1 or 2 days max and they are exhausted...

u/METHODiii 16h ago

This is just not true

u/CORSETTl 1d ago

But being a pilot requires no education lol

37

u/Shuiei 1d ago

Yeah, you find your license in a Kinder Surprise, write your name on it and boom, you're a pilot.

u/OwnerOfCat 1d ago

Bot or idiot?

12

u/TodayEasy949 1d ago

Definitely bot. Because a human cant be idiot to this level

u/Sioluishere 1d ago

racists can be

u/HereOnCompanyTime 1d ago

I wish that were true.

16

u/Head-Ad5620 1d ago

How do you LEARN to fly a plane hahahaha

9

u/Dab_Wizard01 1d ago

But you are required to log 1500 hours flight time to get the license which can take a lil while

5

u/IceBandicooot 1d ago

Troll, bot, or loser?

u/Weary-Tell-5334 1d ago

don’t fall for the bait, just another bum desperate for attention
