  • are you the captain

  • @Ihdc1 I believe I was a first officer when I recorded this one, the captain was in back using the lavatory. Extra crew on board.

  • Ah mediocrity.... a viewer not realizing that in Russian airspace metric altitudes are maintained, and in this particular case our assigned flight level worked out to about 100 feet off of a regular flight level.

  • Do cargo airlines not require standard pilot shirts? (professional pressed, with epulates and all?)

  • Technically, yes. What happens inflight, when there are no company officials or customer representatives around is another story. Remember, some flights are upwards of 10 hours long; a great way to cut down on dry-cleaning costs is to only wear the uniform shirt to and from the hotel.

    Generally, the captain sets the tone on this one.

  • simulator?

  • Oh dear im stoned. No but really though i think its cool to see crew in Civi clothing. Id love to be a cargo pilot or something like that, never been really interested in richard gere syles pilot mister. Id rather be an air trucker lol cos then id feel hard and powerful.

  • It is probably a freighter - on airliners the aircrew must be in uniform the whole time.

  • Modern 747s have rockingchairs to keep pilots awake and busy during longhaul flights.

  • my dad used to be a pilot and i was a baby when he was a pilot but still i remember some stuff about planes it is cool

  • Great video - love the 747-200. Thanks. I'm not a pilot, but I would find it pretty alarming to go into the cockpit and see the pilots sitting around in their sweat-pants and grubby old t-shirts. I know it makes no difference as to how you do your job I suppose - but it just looks like you're not as ready/professional to a leyman like me! It looks sort of funny, but also a bit strange. Are some pilots really paid so little that they like to save money on washing clothes/laundering like this?!

  • it so old!, i didnt know that the 747-200 would be that old looking cockpit and instruments! gosh!,, plus it has a flight engineer seat too!! , am totaly shocked!,

    regarding the pilots, its okay u should expect that in eastern Europe!

  • is the second officer bored ?
