Golly, this video brings back fond Navy flight memories. Procedures are identical no matter time and place. Note how the Airbus 330 First Officer shares 'flight deck' duties with the Captain. She does most of the cockpit work. The Captain does final approvals. Meanwhile, he has his right hand on his knee during taxi and takeoff from San Francisco Intl.
I flew as First Officer (right seat) in a chartered Continental Airlines Boeing 767 from Hickam AFB to Andrews AFB in 2003. That's as far up the food chain I got. Still a thrill.

Somehow this post got by me. Sure its kind of dry for most people, still I found it interesting. The professionalism of todays pilots are off the charts. Most people have no idea what goes on in the cockpit. There are countless things the pilot and co pilot check before a take off.....and they got to get everyone of them right. I don't know if you or anyone else has ever watched " air disasters" ( probably not the exact name but you get it ) on one of the cable channels. I find them fascinating for all kinds of reasons. They look at everything from weather, mechanical failure, pilot error, and even the pilots mental state. Almost every time, its a combination of part or all of the above. Rarely is it just one thing. Finding out why a plane crashed is truly a forensic endeavor. While any plane crash is tragedy, but at the same time, for miles traveled, its still one of safest modes of travel that one can take.... well, except for crap like this lol.

I thought the video was first class all the way and wanted folks to understand aircrew training and professionalism. The cockpit is not always so prim and proper though, and we have heard all kinds of sordid stories about hotties, booze, and errors in judgment. Wow, what a fiasco in the main cabin of your video. Where do morons learn such behaviors? Fortunately, the airliner was still on the tarmac. A Taser in the hands of an experienced flight attendant or LE official would have calmed the situation in about one second. The loud-mouth young female with the blondie highlights would be my first Taser target. Watching her faint and fall to the floor, and then uncontrollably pee her britches, would have everyone of those face-slapping and hair-pulling morons immediately sitting down and shutting their pie holes.
