There was also if memory serves me correctly a doc on BBC in the late 80's early 90's where they were in the cockpit on a (BA??) 747 classic out of LHR or somwhere heading to the far east. Was quite good!
I've got that episode on VHS. The series is 'Airline' (I think) and that episode was called 'Jet Jockeys'. It follows a flight to Bangkok and Sydney, and the theme is the pilot's changing role amongst the technology, complete with an Aussie atco giving pilots a good slagging.
