It’s really cool seeing such good training standards from a smaller airline. I have seen videos like this from the likes of Qantas and singapore airlines. I think it helps break my illusion that that smaller airlines from a not as well to do places or places with poor safety records are hard to be trusted as safe. I think I’ll forever be cautious but syndical I will not be. I think it’s really beautiful that you chose a smaller airline to showcase it rather than the easier to come across opportunities from the large airlines in more prominent countries.

I’ve just flown 8 sectors across two return trips with Fiji airways on A350s and an A330 between Sydney and Silicon Valley. The A350 in particular is fantastic. Their business class product is as good as anyone else in the world. And their onboard service is superb. My only criticism is that their lounge in Nadi is small, a bit crowded, and is underprovisioned with showers and toilets (and the toilets really need better ventilation). I have no hesitation recommending them, they’re a very good trans-Pacific option. They also code share with Qantas, so you can book them with a QF flight number and get full points and status credits.

YOU! EVACUATE! As she throws him off the plane - 😄 She got the job done. Excellent video. Enjoyed watching the training. Amazing simulator. I've never seen one up close like that. Looks like a great training program. It was interesting to see how they managed take-off and landing at SF, since I'm in that region. I'm only an "armchair taildragger pilot", not at all current, but have been recently renewing my interest by watching accident reviews on KZbin by some good pilots. One KZbin channel is "Blancolirio". He's very good. Another good one is "Flywire." Might be helpful for your students to learn. Reviewing accidents may sound a little strange, but these guys are sharing for the sake of learning, not macabre. They're not NTSB but along the same lines in terms of how the investigations are conducted, what they focus on. They share so that pilots can learn about each other's experiences and from each others' mistakes. I've learned a lot myself from watching them. Wishing all of you much luck and success. Stay safe -

HI, Stefan, I am brand new to the aviation video and stumbled upon yours thanks to KZbin. I would absolutely enjoy understanding the radio communications during your flight. e.g. how the radio communication works for the long haul (sounds like you are switching between different communication points), the types of contacts you have, and the interpretation of some conversations. I really enjoy your content. Thank you, and look forward to learning more about the world of aviation through your content.
