@thomasrhodes2236 4 года назад

True lol

@infinite2246 4 года назад

I would choose cockpit jump seat over first lol

@garyodle5663 3 года назад

You would think it is an upgrade but I disagree. As an Airline Flight Dispatcher I have flown in the jumpseat many times. No legroom and no food or drink service. The seat is unpadded and the back is straight up with absolutely no recline. And if you are on a long trip and one of the pilots has to leave to go to the restroom then you have to unbuckle, stand semi-standing up as you stow away the seat, and get out of the way so that pilot can exit the cockpit, and then you do it again in reverse when they come back. It is fun the first couple of times you do it but after that, please give me a seat in back if you can. It got to where I only flew jumpseat if the flight was full and that was the only way I was getting on the airplane or I had to in order to fulfill my annual jumpseat requirements for my job.

@dingdong2103 3 года назад

I once flew from Athens Greece to Thessaloniki in a Boeing 737-700 as the sole passenger but I didn't get to go to the jump seat lol. I have to say the service was excellent though! Almost like they had nothing else to do!

If I ever see a flight that says "operated by... (some airline I've barely heard of)", I usually think that they are some one-plane shoddy operation where things like wings and landing gear are considered nice to have, but ultimately optional. So it's great to see that Sun Air are the complete opposite. They seem like a really competent operation, with nice people and a flexible approach to the industry that lets them fit neatly between the huge operators. I hope they go far! (pun partially intended...)

@myfavorites7052 4 года назад

WOW... a ride home on the flight deck. What a wonderful gesture by Sun Air. I've always loved the DO-328 here in the US when we had it available on regional service. Great video. The only thing missing was a ride in the DO-328 full motion simulator where you would have the pleasure of actually "flying" the jet on your route back to London City. (I would think that they would have one of those somewhere at their headquarters location.) Outstanding video. God's richest blessings to you and your wife. Pastor Dean (Rev. Dr. J.

What an amazing view you had, especially coming into London City. That's a unique airport among the smaller airports of the world. I recently flew into Burbank (BUR) for the first time and really liked how close the terminal is to the runway. Literally landed and then turned right into its gate, no taxing at all. Disembarked from the rear of the 737, (the front door is also used) made for a quick emptying of the cabin. Great close up views of the planes on the tarmac. I suspect London City is similar to this as well. Keep up the unique look at airlines operations if you get a chance to be invited with another airline again.

This video gives me a huge trip back memory-lane, since i've been toured in the exact same private planes, walked the same hangars, and even got to work as an airplane-mechanic and fly jumpseat, on a flight from BLL to Manchester.

When he realised she had her family on board (dad, me and brother and sister, he asked if I’d like to come up. My brother was 6 months old and sister wouldn’t have cared less! Only thought I was going to have a look - was stunned when he asked if I’d like to stay for rest of cruise, descent and landing so mum could be with dad- was awesome!
