Well unfortunately I know the U tube comedian involved and whilst he has the best of intentions I am most surprised. An ex Naval flying standards instructor well known for his self appreciation I am amazed by his misjudgement. He happens to be a very experienced, decorated and capable pilot. However I expect his F/O is glad to be alone on the flight deck for a breather since CRM is not this mans strong point.
That said I find a regular display of leadership and public PA's where the opportunity exists usually goes down very well and rarely get negative feed back from crew or pax. I just regret this man is obviously still flattering his own ego to the detriment of his cringing colleges.
Trying too hard I think.
