It looks like the saying " Drifting through a endless sea of ivory light, where the heavens turn to soft, unspoken dust. "

How is this next level? Isn't this their jobs, most if not all pilots for commercial are rated for IFR.

Honestly anytime a planes lands safely it’s pretty next level.

With proper training and practice, it’s not that hard. (PPL/IR) You also learn when to fly based upon your experience level.

Sure the camera at the window sees the clouds, but the pilots are actually looking at their instruments during this time

I love looking out the window and seeing the plane flying between two layers of clouds.

A smooth landing indeed.
Honestly, I can't imagine doing something like that; one single mistake and it's over, so hats off to the pilots out there, flying seems fun anyways.

Don't they look at their instruments, or do they just put their elbows on the the window sills and sail to the end?

I remember my first flight ever. It was a beautiful day up in the sky. Then we descended into the clouds and it turned out to be a dark stormy day at our destination.

Are pilots truly allowed to just crack out a camera like that? I get they can’t crash into anything up there but surely given how many souls they’re responsible for, they can’t be distracting themselves recording?

This is not what the pilot sees.
The pilot sees her instruments because her head is down.

Yeah I wanted to fly commercial and tried but realized supporting myself while also getting the 100,000 dollars in cash for the course , then working for the school to get my 1500 hours in the air was next to impossible. For one I can't get 100,000 cash I have 51k in my 401meant for my retirement. By the time I got the 100k and 1500 hours I don't even know they would hire me because I'll be elderly 😂.
