Can you honestly say he is less skilled or is less "professional" then the guy who made this video while he cracks jokes to everyone while having a knife on someone? Come on, get over yourself, lighten up, have a good time doing whatever your doing and relax.
The guy in the video wasn't playing music while he was working. That comparison doesn't make sense. A better comparison would be two surgeons working together with one holding a video camera instead of paying attention to the job at hand. The reason there are two of us up there is to crosscheck and verify, which clearly wasn't happening in the video. I agree that we can relax and have a good time while flying, but the job is what it is and having fun comes secondary. As for surgeons, they crack lots of jokes on TV, but in real life, they stay focused on what they're doing.
