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.

TOTD: The Cptn I recently flew with who would always help the FAs on turns to clean the cabin. It was rather embarrassing and infuriating to watch as pax deplaned and Cptn Douchebag was saying "goodbye" to them all while wearing white latex gloves from the galley and stuffing trash from the rows of seats into a little white trash bag.
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.
