Was one of the F/As his current or prospective girlfriend? |

Just laughed my a%$ off at the self proclaimed 777 pilot/sim tech that CNN has had on all week.
First off you're on national television. Shave the scent saver and put on something nicer than blue jeans and a tee shirt. Second. When you go to demonstrate the stopping capabilities of the 777 on a 4000' strip on nation television.... make sure you use reverse thrust. Even the anchor and the retired 777 (real) pilot had a hard time from busting up when they started to see dirt, grass and trees go by! Smooth move buddy.......:D Does anyone have a link to this video? I missed it :( |

Follow this link for the video, then a few steps to find it: http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.html Once you click the link, it will load the CNN "breaking news and videos" page. Scroll down, click on "international". The video is on the second row, but may move down as new videos are added. Its entitled, "landing aircraft on short runways". Have a good laugh. |
I'm thinking the guy is just a sim technician who snuck them in during the off hours. He is embarrassing.

If this guy is a 777 instructor, I am truly embarrassed. Where did CNN find this guy? Mopping the sim bays after midnight?
Follow this link for the video, then a few steps to find it: Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com Once you click the link, it will load the CNN "breaking news and videos" page. Scroll down, click on "international". The video is on the second row, but may move down as new videos are added. Its entitled, "landing aircraft on short runways". Have a good laugh. It almost looks like he didn't know how to properly engage the thrust reversers, and it appears the autopilot took it all the way to landing. I actually wouldn't be surprised if CNN just threw one of their camera guys in the left seat after a brief tutorial on how to auto land. Can't see any pilot signing up for a segment as idiotic as this. |

Way to protect the respect for our profession (what little there is left of it in this country). Emirates, Lufthansa, ANA, or any other pilots from countries where our profession is still respected, do you guys make it habit of cleaning aircraft cabins especially in front of the general public? Nevermind.....I already know the answer. Having watched this tool in action for three days, I KNOW he'd scab. No doubt in my mind. Of course, he fit the typical SW pilot flying background. Gee, what a surprise. All that *****footing around means that when they finally do decide to come up front and do their job, they start rushing through briefings and checklists. |
