British Airways "Jet Jockeys"

[OneNineHundy]

Watch "1990 - 'Jet Jockeys' | Inside British Airways (Boeing 747-200 flight)" on YouTube


Thought I would share this interesting Documentary following a British Airways 747-200 crew. It talks about automation taking over pilot jobs with the introduction of the 747-400.

I was watching this the other day. I can see U.S regionals attempting to hire and train pilots the way this place does.

Wow

I was watching it with my wife and yelling at the TV, "dont these dumbasses know they are on camera and mic'd up?!"

My question is what are these guys getting paid to fly right seat? It seems that training costed them 120k, so they are most likely bogged with debt and struggling to make it I'm sure. Unless the company puts them in living quarters in base and other benefits unheard of on this side of the pond

A lawsuit because a coworker asked if you're dating anyone.???
The two appear to be completely complicit in the conversation.

"Can I set you up with a friend?
Yes, I don't care who.
Boobs or butt?
...
Butt, because then they'll have boobs

Yadda yadda..."


Come on gents, these are CONSENTING adults.

These conversations happen all the time.

as stated in the video,

training costed them 120k

British Pounds = $156,000 US

Yea, and the inappropriate conversation isn't all of it. No oxygen mask(don't know what their altitude is though), and the FA sitting in pilot seat.

Not at the workplace they don't. This isn't 1989. Have you been through an HR talk before, perhaps as a new hire or recurrent?

HR is a war department looking for a battle.

Maybe "hear" would be better? My eyesight isn't what it once was.

How can one "see" what is spoken? Unless,........you're recording the conversations?

Recording, with a betamovie/betacam. It's best, far better than VHS.
