Default How accurate is this video?

I'd have to think a 747 pilot would know, but maybe things have changed. So I'm curious to know what people think of his comments and how accurate his statements are.

EDIT: Ok, I saw his comment he's updating the video. But still would like reactions.

Watched the first 30 seconds, wasn't interested enough to go further, and to that point yes: his comments were accurate and correct.

Being a 747 pilot means nothing...
However, mostly pretty accurate. It's a long, expensive, dues paying road.

Like JB could not watch further. Did fly the classic at a freight outfit and really enjoyed it. Great airplane, incredibly well designed. Fly for a legacy now so life is nuch better.

What is this, you people can't watch a pilot answering a viewer's question? Sad.

Hard to watch a video made for student pilots when you are far past that.

Sad? It's sad to watch something that you're not interested in?! GMAFB

Can watch? Yes. Fully capable.

Want to watch? Not so much.

Bored after 30 seconds? Absolutely.

Saw everything needed to know...first thirty seconds were correct, very straightforward, no surprises, no news there.

I have twelve minutes of footage of gall bladder surgery. Can I interest you in viewing that? Would it be sad if you're not remotely interested?

Perhaps some of us might be accorded the privilege of choosing what we watch, just like adults. Will that be difficult for you, too?
