Review: XIAMEN AIR 787 - IRRESPONSIBLE CREW & NOT SAFE TO FLY 

No, it isn’t just you. Also happened with me

happened to me too

me too

Ditto

Same with me I was confused and i am surprised it wasn't fixed by the editor.

Agreed. Both legends ❤️

Daamn 😂

Humaira Maqbool. What are you doing you fucking donkey? You can’t fly a plane with MCAS. You’ll crash the fucking plane.

@@D_Thang Ramsey is pretty much there for the show and there are guards... he's protected. Read that he's not that bad of a guy in real life! Josh is just smart! :D

😂❤️

Agreed, for your own safety. Post your honest opinion on Instagrams or other social media outlets after your flight or outside the airlines.

fgrion Wouldn’t be surprised if you were from China.

@@00ninja00 Ha! I was thinking exactly the same.

@@fgrion how is he an attention-seeker? He's simply offering an opinion - which we are all entitled to - and the airline shit their pants...If an airline can't take criticism then they probably shouldn't be operating as an airline.

@@fgrion Hows china you fool...

del shahid yes I totally agree that it’s crazy. Once I was on China southern airlines and the safety video was playing during takeoff and I was really shocked.

correction: savage..

Isn't it also to reduce power consumption on takeoff?

Aviation safety regulations must be different over in Asia.

Aviation Reports similar thing happened in a FlyDubai flight I was in, night time flight, never turned off the lights for takeoff and probably even landing, nothing was wrong with the crew, but it was really odd

As long as it's constructive criticism

@@sergeseanmison7787 What constitutes a "constructive criticism" to you? Super light and frivolous things and not *fundamental deficiencies* as shown here?

@@odeiraoloap so he should just be happy that he survived the trip?

Nick Why would he lie though? His experience has pretty much been in line with many many reviews.

So , fly your own plane then dude

Let's fingers cross. Lol

i accept this

its a wake up call for the airlines to improve their service specialy safety measures and protocols, ...

Safety always comes first!

This is definitely a safety violation and he is right to report on it

Thank you so much Cece, I wished to say what you said but you said it so concise I made a cup of tea instead.

I don't understand why the cabin lights should be dimmed. I know while driving a vehicle at night you don't want the interior lights on because of the reflection. But the pilots are up front with a cabin door closed it shouldn't affect them. Can you please explain.

@@madtrucker0983 it allows passengers eyes to adapt to the darkness. it means that if there's an emergency where you lose power to the lights or need to evacuate to the dark outside you can see more clearly.

@@madtrucker0983 its not for the pilots its for the passengers because if you have to evacuate and u run from a brightly lit cabin into straight darkness for a short moment you wont be able to see anything clearly

@@charliesilverwood3608 👍 thanks

can't help with the German accent lol

i heard shaman

That's what I keptt heating too

Deffo salmon air

Even the automatic captions agree.

same with me

Same with me, i band from China and Russia

@@launarlami101aviation Why?

@@koushikdas1992 you get Band dor absurd things in China, like you Filmed a place, you are getting ckikied your ass out

Thank you!

That is not correct. Depending on the authority where the airline is based, it is not an unwritten rule (what is that suppose to mean, anyways?) but a part of standard operating procedures, or not. For Boarding the cabin lights are fully illuminated to charge the fluorescent strips along the aisles, which takes about 30 minutes for them to reach their maximum brightness. For taxiing, take off and final phase of approach, landing and taxiing to the gate, lights are dimmed so that the eyes of the cabin crew are adjusted to the dark, in case of an emergency. One important part of the Emergency Evacuation Drill is ‚Check outside conditions‘ for obstacles and situation. Every aircraft has an Emergency Lights System which consist of the exit signs above the doors/pair of doors, also at ground level, the fluorescent strips in the floor that guide you to these exits in case of dense smoke and you need crawling, lights to illuminate the top of the slides or wing area, which is to be used in an emergency evacuation. The emergency lights system provides lights for about 10 minutes, and is independent from the other electric supply of an aircraft. As long as normal cabin lights are still operational, the Purser will switch these onto full brightness, as soon as the Emergency Evacuation Codeword is announced. Cabin crew are only allowed to initiate an evacuation in case of a ditching, severe structural damage and/or life threatening situation. Here communication won’t be most likely possible anyways between from of aircraft/flight deck and aft cabin. So: cabin lights shall be dimmed, so cabin crew have no difficulties observing outside conditions during the ours of darkness, and additionally, passengers eyes are also adjusted to realise what is going on straight away. I worked the most parts of three decades as cabin crew/purser both long - and shorthaul. Saying that, I would never travel on airlines other than North-American, European and Australian carriers (including SQ and SAA), simply because of the fact of unionised workforce and very strict flight time regulations and a functioning company resource management in Co-operation with an independent aviation authority body. Because THAT is what is important, and I am happy to pay the higher prices. So: dimming lights for the crucial parts of a flight may or may not be a part of SOP of an airline. It can happen, the purser forgot or had no time to do so (oh yes, that happens and you rather strap yourself in when the skipper thinks he is riding a motor bike instead of a passenger carrying aircraft)

Nothing wrong about saying "oh wow I handled your flight and saw you, hope you had a good flight" though

Omg that's horrible, I don't understand why people fly with literal babies

@@diamondkivi4721 100%. They cry because they're in pain - their ears are hurting from the pressure difference. I firmly believe, unless it's a medical emergency or some other kid of emergency (like fleeing refugees, domestic abuse etc), then keep bubs at home where they won't suffer (it's usually a family holiday). It's awful, not only to other passengers who get no sleep, causing headaches, fatigue etc but also for the kid.

@@skullsaintdead I feel like the baby stories that I hear gotta be overblown or I am extremely lucky, I have been flying at least twice a year (granted its to like two destination but both of them are at least 11 hours of flight time) since 2012 and I have encountered something like that maybe once or twice and it was only during takeoff and landing never had a baby cry the whole flight.

oh, the mum should have taped the baby’s mouth. 🙄🙄🙄

OMG! You are so bitchy on this Airline and on Chinese people!!!

Indika Gamage it’s a safety fail! Don’t disgrace all Sri Lankan’s by making such a stupid race card Comment

@@mddesilva You stupid dickhead!! It was a Joke!!

@@mddesilva change your name to smelly dickhead...bloody silverlining...

They are all nibgas

@Ari Parker in the event that you are “detained” in a foreign country, having these items could very well aid in your release / save your life.

@@KDu400 Lol clearly haven't seen the video he was referencing when he was detained in China, he called the German embassy and they said 'Its the Chinese airlines fault for allowing you to fly when China just implemented a new law saying you couldn't, so the airline has to pay'. They did nothing for him, except told him who was to blame.

As an American living in the Philippines this seems like a bit of projection on their part. A drug mule going to China is like someone bringing their own food to a buffet. Everyone in Asia knows where the drugs are actually coming from. If anybody was actually trying to take them to China we would be hearing about it because the kind of punishments they give for that are sure to spark an international incident.

Go to France, you will see more of this, they judge people by color, this happens in every country, USA did the same thing, they always take the color people for further investigation, they expected color people are drugs traffickers. Don’t be naive, USA are the same old shits.

Candy Pops yea XD

Yeah I did spot that too

What time

Racists

You’re right! There were some Chinese tourist here in Sweden and they were checking in into a hotel and they were so disrespectful and they were acting like it was there home, they even started lying on the ground outside the hotel screaming and crying! It is so annoying to hear stuff like that, and worse the government of China accused us swedes for it! I know there are many good Chinese too because I have friends who are but many from mainland China who have are just horrible and have no respect for their cultures, explains why they are oppressing Tibet and so many other areas around China.

Roerez Black not everything is racist! There are many Chinese who aren’t like this but at the same time, there are many who are! Just watch SerpentZA and ADVChina, they are foreigners in China and had been there for decades and they tell about how many Chinese have a really odd behaviour towards other cultures and stuff, disregard for regulations, etc

i am not defending for Chinese, but i would like to say sometimes it is just a matter of cultures. Western people tend to be quiet and polite in many places because it is their culture. I hope u know some word in Chinese called "renao". From a hybrid Chinese, Japanese and New Zealander. DONT BE TRICKED BY OTHERS. To some ignorant guys.

@@sondrejohansen48 Well, u ask Chinese guys to respect your culture. But, the way u show your respect to Chinese culture is watching SeroentZA and tell others Chinese are doing odd behaviors in their country. What a fantastic way to show your great manners

It’s cheaper. Don’t discriminate.

I think they want to fly as much as possible and fly a lot of airlines etc.

He once had some bad experience on Malaysian Airlines but he flew again and mention "I want to give Malaysian Airline a second change......" To me thats professional. One cannot judge the good or bad based on one experience.

@Voltaic Fire it's never sensible to discriminate anybody

@Voltaic Fire same to usa and europe lmao 😂😂

Many airlines use plastic cups to serve tea / coffee, even American domestic airlines.

Jason L most airlines use paper cup for hot drinks and plastic for cold drinks

I fly in a regular basis. And never experienced hot coffee/tea in a plastic cup. 🤔

Leon Ali Habibi use more

Wilson Kan use airline bot bus

As a kiwi, Air New Zealand is one of the best airlines out there (in my opinion) safety is top notch and crew are amazing!

Is that the lady from The Grudge? Lol

@@joeyw9574 idk maybe The Ring

It is the public/passengers who are standing while flying , why to blame the airline for this. In such long flights people do stand up stretch and try to find variety of activities to relax so chill.

Caroline S. Oh wow, I work at the Sheraton Gateway LAX and I’m just happy to hear good comments about the hotel I work for. Thanks.

But rather than just telling it on the phone, make it official. No point saying it but not updating it. This is up to the airline... very misleading and do not expect customers to find out what they are doing/remember every airline's parent company and affliates.

@@johcx1994 True. Actually both China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines are on my blocklist.

@@johnsons2148 Not that I hate China (to be honest, their economy is good, in a sense), but they are foregoing certain things. I believe Chinese carriers (and some of the mainland Chinese citizens mannerisms) are what is contributing in this video. It shows. I will give China Airlines (the one with the flower livery and purple background - from Taiwan) a try. :D

JOHNSON S Last I heard, Xiamen Air currently has no plans to leave SkyTeam.

Xiamen air is owned 55% by China Southern, though China Southern showed their intention to leave Skyteam doesn't directly mean that Xiamen Airlines are leaving at the same time.

I agree, its not just the case of people and cabin crew messaging u back it may change the actual experience of the flight and service you get personally which may be good or bad and will not give a representative of the airline in general. E.g. if you complain, the staffs/ crews might neglect excellent service for you, or try to change your opinion by providing only you extremely good service whilst its not the same for others, (though I know as soon as you whip out the camera they will know you are making a review and adjust the service likewise but I just think it's better to post comments on social media after your trip since the video won't be posted immediately , I don't really see the rush to make any comment unless you want immediate actions from the airline.

@@Holdfast I cant go to RU-vid these days without stumbling over some travel blogger. They are all the same. For some bizarre reason an entire generation is hooked on bloggers, vloggers and reality TV. It is very different than people on TV creating content. There are thousands of Vloggers all doing the same stuff. If its not travel its beauty tips or just vlogging for the fame.

@@yezabella That's the one reason I can't stand his content...they are basically 30 minute adverts for the big carriers.

Yeah, let the bully boys censor him

@@yezabella well it will take time until most vloggers get well known by crews in most airlines. So they will act nice to them too nd offer gud service. U can tell when they are faking a smile or not, so for me on Sam's vlogs lm more interested in the airplane itself, whats inside (across all classes) cockpit as well

mno95 and you seem like a tit... not judging you but just an observation btw!

No, you mean to say that the people do not like negativity and they conceal the truth more than North Korea.

Because these people take criticism poorly. He shares his experience and instead of them trying to fix it they treat him like shite.

The Echelon but why does he has the shittiest experiences ?

Lovelulu if you pay for a product. Suppose I buy headphones of the same price in two different countries I should be getting an equivalent product. And if I’m not then it’s a poor product. Nothing complicated.

They gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.

What else would you do????

A D stay positive.

yeah, loose jackets and pillows do seem pretty scary!

@@bubutitroll say that when u get ur foot stuck in one trying to get out of the row, Obviously China isn't used to western safety

Was going to post that. Very proud of garuda indonesia, the service is always above n beyond . Hope josh will review it

Check Sam Chui’s channel. He has the most comprehensive review of airlines on RU-vid.

I feel like its all about the crew and station managers haha

Hani Santosa ikr

We all agree on that :D

737s don´t have IFE... look at Ryanair,KLM,Korean Air or whatever nobody has an IFE on a short houl airplane

flyek Malaysia Airline’s 737s have IFE

flyek Delta, Qatar etc. Good airlines do, you have pretty much drawn comparisons from low cost carriers or those flag carriers with a low cost business model

flyek exactly, it’s pretty rare to have IFE on 737s in the US even
