Interesting: co-pilot says "runway 1-4". When did that change to "runway 14"?
That appears to be a US specialty, different from ICAO. The runways also don't have the leading zeros in the US, it's "7" instead of "07" found in most parts of the world. The French also pronounce the runway numbers the "natural" way.

PS: The other day I did a flight review in the US and my CFI was not familiar with the term "QNH" nor "QDM" or "QDR". Wonder why we can't call it "altimeter setting" as well...
