More from the cockpit needed it's a thumbs up 👍

Without the annoying music

[@ytfan3815]

That Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner is a beauty.

[@DesireOnly1]

I literally adore all pilots😍🥰....They have such a huge responsibility of making sure we get to our destinations safely!!...I hate the fact that theyre under rated and dont get the recoginition they deserve🥲....God bless all pilots and many safe flights🙏🙏🙏....I appreciate you always❤❤....This plane is beautiful and that crew was amazing and knowledgeable🫡🛩👨‍✈️

[@jockster33]

Yes great vid!! More vids from the cockpit!! Very informative and I learn a lot about the aircrafts which is really cool

[@ishanpai1791]

I have flown KLM's B777-200ER as well as their B787-9. Both of them are extremely good & I observed how the entire cockpit crew follows this well known sustainable practice. KLM is truely a great airline in terms of both service and passenger comfort.

[@user-yh8wp2ic6o]

Not really, Air France is miles better specially on long haul

[@ishanpai1791]

@@user-yh8wp2ic6o Oh yeah Air France is a good airline as well. But I have mixed opinions with them so far. Like I have flown their A350 and I liked their cabin a lot and for which the crew loved working on it. But however when I flew their B777-300ER, it was too old and outdated and had zero comfort level for a 11 hr flight. Some of their B777 are refurbished while some of them still feature old cabins & same applies to their A330s as well Also sometimes the crew on Air France is extremely friendly, but sometimes they turn out to be rude. KLM & Delta on the other hand keep refurbishing their cabin interiors, thus making it easier for long haul cabins and haven't had issues with them flying long haul.

[@mitchellembrey5932]

This is a great initiative and a fantastic video, thanks for sharing KLM! I am wondering though, is it really a fair comparison because I imagine the flight that this was compared to did not have the same take off weight based on passengers, cargo/bags, catering etc.

[@willemlenteren1485]

Indeed but the service and crew are very rude to people bad food as well

[@operationscommand1000]

Ah darn they changed that iconic jingle...

[@theokoppen1363]

Great video, but the music makes us nervous

[@joelvantwillert]

5:40 - I think the scale for the flight levels should be x100 instead of x1000

[@adotholland22]

[@peterkoster5057]

Great video but background music can be less dominant

[@Firrosea]

[@verlosser179]

Very nice to see this! The music is a bit loud at some spots, can barely hear voices

[@PeterM_K]

So the CO2 savings are just for the part of the fuel that is actually SAF, not on the whole fuel usage, right?

[@GerBus56]

KLM what is the meaning of the blue tulip pin on the uniform of the cockpit and cabin crew?

[@Miguelcooldude777]

Didn’t know Andrew rate was a 787 first officer

[@olivierwientjens4703]

wanneer komt de eerste a320?

[@SenatorSchiller-xe9ex]

Can you elaborate more on the 46% emissions saved by SAF? Was 50% SAF used for the flight, and therefore the emissions declined by 46%, or did you fill up another plane with also 50% SAF and add it to this flight? I am just wondering if you are calculating with a decline of 92% (46/50) or 46% (46/100) in carbon emissions for SAF.

[@kwiky5643]

Now that I know Tate is a first officer I got much more respect for him

[@TheKoiPartner]

Saving 400 KG of fuel in the air, but burning 500 KG more to taxi from the Polderbaan to the gate 😂

[@ronrutten5889]

They did not land on the Polderbaan.

[@sebinamuwanga]

What does "you may roll" after the landing clearance mean?

[@GrannySmith1313]

I think it has to do with clearance to use the entire runway. You can see them turning off the auto brake and only using idle reverse and then vacating at the absolute end of the runway. So I think it was ATC telling them 'you can use the entire runway, nobody behind you'

[@sebinamuwanga]

@@GrannySmith1313 Thank you!

[@sillycatgirlnya]

could this be a comeback for Cockpit Tales?

[@KLM]

Fingers crossed! 🤞

[@sillycatgirlnya]

​@@KLM this is genuinely getting me hyped

[@pranjaltiwari72]

Andrew Tate flying boeing 787 for KLM 😂😂

[@richardtalbot8769]

great insight - yet if they had been sent to the polderbaan they would used more fuel on the rather long taxi.

[@stevenprinsen9034]

5:46 x1000 feet is incorrect, we don’t fly at 430.000 feet ;)

[@Acepilot1312]

You could say that and I agree with you, but, all Flight Levels (FLs) are usually followed with the first two digits of the altitude and then a zero is added there instead. So, 43,000 feet is essentially ‘FL430’. It’s not accurate mathematically to mention it like this (like x1,000) but, it’s common practice to pronounce it like that.

[@tomjardine100]

Is it me or does every dutch accent sound the same or similar? In the UK the accents are very different

[@zacherius137]

Nah, even in Amsterdam we have different accents.

[@user-dw8ud2hw5d]

Out of interest did flow control give your flight priority. How realistic was your flight for everyday aviation? Flying into JFK or LHR, you are unlikely to get such cooperating controllers/

[@gkylen]

What reg is it

[@MegaTurbomusic]

PH-BKK i think.

PH-BKK it is.

I didn't know Andrew Tate was a pilot

[@matuscorpo5478]

didn't know he was woke as well

[@matthijs8888]

Deze mensen gooien hun cost index op 3 en nemen een camera crew mee op te vertellen hoe groen ze wel niet bezig zijn. Hoeveel procent sustainable fuel gebruikte jullie tijdens de vlucht? daar is namelijk een wettelijk minimum voor, lijkt me sterk dat jullie daar boven zitten. En verder elke liter brandstof die ze minder verbanden is gewoon een kostenkwestie. Belangrijk voor klm is vooral dat mensen denken dat ze groen bezig zijn.

Andrew Tate, you're so cool and calm now being a dutch commercial pilot. How life takes a turn. Started from the bottom, now you're 40 thousands feet 😂

[@robje4824]

Only innovation and new technology can improve those emissions. Many of us contribute, many of us are working really hard on this. Unfortunately the ‘climate-protestors’ will not rest until flying is no longer allowed. Until we all eat insects and until we all stop driving our cars. Heads off to these initiatives but remember, for ‘them’ it will never be enough! They have all been brainwashed.

[@immikhanUK]

It’d be nice to see some Black or Asian pilots in your videos. Do you hire Black pilots?

[@MrShortFinal]

@KLM we don’t care about your co2 or fuel savings. When I pay big money for your tickets I wanna be on time at my destination with no delays. More and more people around me are avoiding KLM because of this…

[@Rick-ge1ri]

There was no delay, they landed before schedule. Ever heard that airlines are forced by governments to fly sustainable. Get a life. PS : KLM nr off pax are climbing. Fake info bro.

[@willemlenteren1485]

I avoiding klm for 1000 reasons I don’t like it at all

[@gowthamagowtham862]

Stop cheating people

[@killianpotworoska3096]

My God this is such a BS.... shameless PR! KLM once the pride of aviation, the oldest aviation still operational company in the world. Is now an identity-less mediocre shareholder-run company driven entirely by political ideologies, it's just pathetic! Recently this sad management of KLM announced to hoist its staff in the rainbow colors, it couldn't get more pathetic after the lie of being sustainable.

[@VelidSkendy]

How long does it take to get a refund? I have been waiting for a refund since January 2023 and all I got from your (let's call it like this) customer service has been lies, fraudulent data, and deceiving information. When I asked for the phone number or contact of a supervisor, they told me they couldn't do anything even though I had requested this in formal terms (the same way KLM has requested my bank statements and data which they received promptly). When I asked them to send me a bank statement as proof that the refund had been done, they told me they couldn't do that. For over 10 months I have been in contact with KLM customer service (it is better to be called KLM NOTcustomer service) with Enmanuelle, Ben, Felix, Emanuelle, and Andras. The last thing your NOTcustomer service did, was say that the refund has been already approved (I know this) and done (this is a complete lie). When I asked them to send me info to which bank they made a payment, they sent me a made-up IBAN and some ARN number which is not applicable anywhere. Can you please tell me who I have to contact to get a refund which I have been waiting for more than 10 months?
