Yes, once again we see, people in the LHS of an aircraft that should not really be there, as demonstrated in the video clip. Who were they trying to impress?! Certainly didn't impress me.
Very often it is a case, or a mixture of, SPS (small p****s syndrome), lack of air experience, no discipline etc., etc.
Agreed the "turn off the deck" was even more alarming. By the grace of God, and not skill, all this could have ended in tragedy.
It also demonstrates the "relative simplicity" of beautiful Boeing aircraft. However it is a 2 edged sword, that allows chumps like that to be at the controls of said aircraft.
East european and ex mil? My money is on that.
