Or that pilots and co-pilots have different meals? Other videos you might like:

– If a passenger is making a scene in the jetway, the pilot has the right to prohibit them from going on board and can take off without the trouble-maker. – A lot of in-flight procedures are computer-assisted these days. That's why pilots appreciate landings so much – those are almost completely human-operated and require a lot of skills.
– In most countries, pilots are certified to fly a specific airplane model.
– If you're terrified of flying, your pilot might let you sneak a peek into the cockpit to distract you and make you feel better.
– Every 12 months, pilots have to complete something like a driving test, only in an airplane.
– Co-pilots are fully qualified professionals who can easily fly the plane. Their job title isn't about skills – it's about seniority.
– Pilots have their meals at a different time. If one pilot ate the dish and still feels Ok several hours later, the other pilot can brave their meal as well. – In reality, airplanes don't have extra layers filled with bags, suitcases, and pet carriers.
– If you see a pilot walking in front of you in the airport, don't even bother asking them for directions to your gate, bathroom, or the cheapest coffee shop.
– Most brand-name airlines prohibit their pilots from taking to the cockpit anything that can entertain them during the flight. – Pilots know that there's a thing way more dangerous than any turbulence – it's an updraft. That's a big air mass (part of a storm or some other weather phenomenon) moving upward. – Lots of airlines are implementing new rules that could allow pilots to rest more. But it's often still not enough. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
