Let me get this straight. your at 37,000 feet. Your airspeed is unreliable. So you start climbing. The plane starts going down and tells you that it’s in a stall. So you keep trying to climb- and refuse to allow either of the other two more experienced pilots to take control. As the plane keeps dropping you keep pulling up on the stick. <br> That is a head scratcher.

I've been watching a lot of travel videos so I'm guessing this is why your video showed up in my feed. As I started watching I thought this would be better suited towards someone interested in aviation because I couldn't really understand all the terms you were using. But I couldn't stop watching. Your voice is so soothing even though the subject matter is distressing. I wound up watching all three hours while getting some work done. Can't believe the time went by so fast and now I'm going to look at other videos on your channel.<br><br>If someone like me who has little interest in aviation except for trying to choose which flight to take on my next trip, can watch an over three hour video, that says something. Thanks for capturing my attention.

I'm always very hesitant to judge anyone for their decision-making while in stressful situations, particularly in a situation I've never found myself in. It's always easy to point out bad decisions with the benefit of hindsight and while sitting comfortably in my home. That said, the actions of the first officer on the Air France flight seem so egregious and baffling that it's difficult not to be angry and frustrated with him.

During the Air France segment, I kept thinking “nose down, nose down!” What a terrible accident and even with three pilots no one understood the true situation, tragic.

The AF 447 one still haunts me. It is just beyond comprehension.

The South West story was nearly constant causing what I call the Eye Twitch of Frustration - same with the controller not paying attention, I’m fully in agreement with the pilots!
