I'm a passenger and I have earned lifetime Million Mile status on American. I subscribed to Juan's channel because the content is so unique and interesting. It's meaningful to have an understanding of what airline employees do to make our travel safe and comfortable. Most impressive to me is the skill of the pilots. I'm always sure to thank them while disembarking. Great job and thank you!

After racking up about 12000 hours in the 777 - got a chance to get typed on the 787 and flew it for a short time. 900 hours later and I can honestly say I LOVE it. High , FAST and loaded with cool features in every way. Can't wait for these jets to start showing up on our property at United. Hope Boeing can spool production back up to high levels. UAL is crushing it!

I flew in a 787 from Sao Paulo to LAX through Santiago and Lima, last year. Smooth ride, spacious seats, and cool electronic window shades... Loved it!

As a laboratory flight test engineer at Boeing (I work on the 787 as well as others) this is good news on job security!

Great explanation Juan. I have many thousands of hours in command on the 737 300, 400, and 800, coming from the 747-400, and the 767 before that. I didn’t really have any significant issues at all in transitioning from having an EICAS. Also, if I could have delayed my retirement a few years, I would have had the pleasure of flying the 787. Everyone I know who flies it absolutely LOVES it, fabulous aeroplane.

Brownie, I’m surprised you didn’t even mention in passing the one-trick-pony Kirby trying to dazzle his pilots with the shiny-new-jet carrot! 😂

I used to work for a Japanese company making the kitchen Galleys and bathroom units / dividers for the 767 777 747 planes ..I actually worked in Tokyo for half a year helping do some design work on the MD-11 in 1990's . they had a US branch in Everett , Wa. state . this 787 looks like a fantastic plane .. hope they can move on from the control issues and build their reputation on these new era of planes. exciting news . .go Boeing ! USA

My son is flying for SkyWest. In my younger years tried to do the military route but with my extensive training and college degree my vision was not perfect. Became an MD instead. Worked 110 hours/week as trauma physician. 30% of my work no pays and unable to tax deduct as charity work. Yearly discussions with health plans for reimbursement adjustments but always on the decline as malpractice and office overhead increased. Typically takes 2-3 months to be paid if not declined first time around. Health plans know doctors will give free care whether paid or not. Extreme burn out, loss of autonomy, etc. Flying is the much better future! Office in the sky interacting with beautiful Mother Nature. Love your channel. Thx

Merry Christmas juan! Once again you keep us up to date with what's happening in the commercial airline news.thanks for your commitment

United has made the right choice for the future. I agree with them. Smart move. 100%

Dude, Juan, on the 73, a Master Caution light just means "Look at the Overhead." Somewhere, up there, something is not right. About 4,000 hours on the 73. Great plane. Loved it. But, Boeing should have kept the 75 in production. The 75 is a much, much, much better jet.

It's still really good to see United going with the home team

Juan, thanks for all the great info. Nice to hear the production lines will ramp up again.🔥

Love travelling on the 787, win win for United and its customers.

Its great that United is going for more 787s. On another note:- The emphasis always seems to be on pilots and they are the first employees Juan mentions regarding wage hikes for Delta pilots and I am one. Jeepers, all we are is 'bus drivers'. In a conversation, the 'average' person asks you what do you do for a job. You respond, I work for an airline, then their typical response is, 'Oh are you a pilot' -?- ! If the airliners have a technical problem, do you call a pilot-? NO, you call a technician to rectify the problem. So how about more emphasis on the person who fixes the aircraft, the technician who endeavors to keep the 'craft safe so that the it doesnt make a smokin hole in the ground.

Forthright and straight to the point as ever Juan. Thank you!

Always enjoy your explanation of things!

Another outstanding video update. Thanks Juan. Much respect for you and your fellow pilots and flight crews. I can’t imagine the knowledge and skills needed to fly one of those machines. Great work. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks again Juan, as an aircraft mechanic I love these updates. 👍♥️🇺🇸

you should do more videos about more general aviation news like this, it's nice to hear your perspective on it!

Thanks for the update.

Dang Juan That was good reporting there and Good explanation on the EICAS systems for sure. Thank you for sharing.

Great overview. Thanks!

My layover life and Swayne Martin both are pilots at United. Paul is a captain on the 757/767 and Swayne is a fairly new hire F/O on the same aircraft. Great video Juan!!!

Given how well the last attempt to avoid the type certification requirement went, I'm surprised to hear of this new attempt.

Amazing I did not know all this so thank you Juan for the education

Wow. I just learned a whole lot of stuff about the airline industry I didn't know. Thank you Juan. I'm glad United chose Boeing I love the 787 Air Canada has a bunch of them, went to Japan on one not long ago. If it seems to some that a backlog like this is ridiculous, I work in the bus industry and delivery of a new highway coach could be a year or more. That's life in 2023.

Nice touch with Heather Pierson trio. Fits the mood for flying and the Chistmas season. Merry Christmas Juan.

Good job ... thanks for your detailed explanations!

All right yes yes, good news to this retired Boeing employee and share holder. Thanks for the great video Juan and excellent choice in music. Looking forward to getting a peek at the finished tree. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Well said. Shareholder value above public safety. The second plane takes a nose dive and the CEO comes out and says it's not our fault. But it was. The details on the engineering side are just unbelievable. That guy should be in prison.

Great update Juan. You men and women in the cockpits earn every penny and deserve to earn up to half a million per year. Love flying on Air Canada 787-9 every year to Honolulu and always in awe of the pilots skills.

Thanks Juan!

Nice Choice of tunes! Merry Christmas Blancolirians.

Thanks, Juan, very interesting update.

Flown on the 787 twice domestically and once internationally on AA and it was nice. The lower cabin altitude and higher cabin humidity made the trip across the Atlantic a lot nicer. I'd be nice to get some of those 787s into service before I head back across the pond next spring.

Thank you

Great update Juan! Still hoping some day to fly on a 747. Love this channel.

The 787 is a fabulous aeroplane - I love flying in it, and wish I got a chance to fly it before retirement.

Thanks for sharing

Great to see an American 787 back operating into Christchurch again. Dreamliners a very solid aircraft and its no surprise airlines are investing heavily in it

Excellent choice of music!

I thought you were playing the piano for a second 🤣

I'm not personally involved in the industry but watched news yesterday that Lufthansa is bringing back several A380s to meet the demand, says they can fill them to make it financially feasible. This story stated that the 380s have been moth balled for 2 years.

What a great video - thank you ✈️

Boeing got into trouble when it merged with McDonald Douglas. The McDonald Douglas CEO taught "that bunch of engineers at Boeing how to run a company".

Just flew UA on a 787 from SFO - SIN - SFO. Love the plane.

I was flying MD11s when the company started converting the DC10 to MD10s. I recall we had differences training including one simulator session and we were good to go.

Thank you Juan...great reports as always. Another common story heard: "...Airlines loved accepting their orders for the 787, but only AFTER it went through reassembly and finish work at Bremerton." South Carolina DreamLiner production not ready for PrimeTime. I sincerely hope that all lines have gotten up to snuff. I would LOVE to work in any capacity on a DreamLiner: mechanic, troubleshooter, electrical systems. Amazing plane. The flaws mean a learning opportunity, to make things BETTER!

The music is good, the dancing not so much LOL

Interesting stuff, and very well explained. Thanks...

Thanks!

Great info on Boeing's upgrades Juan!!!

I want to go to Sacramento from Montreal in Feb so I went on line and checked prices. I can do it for $520 return. That’s completely insane. I bet it was more than that 20 yrs ago and fuel prices alone are way higher. Airlines have been squeezing the lemon every way they can since then to keep prices down but it has gone too far. Union busting, outsourcing maintenance, idiotic charges just to sit beside your spouse on a flight - it goes on and on. There is a direct link between the obsession with cost cutting and the Max debacle. Boeing wasn’t trying to avoid a new type rating to please themselves. That decision was customer driven. Now they want to roll back regulatory modernization to keep squeezing the lemon? Enough is enough. Mandating that new aircraft have EICAS is common sense. Everything from the 80s on has it. Time to get out of the 1960s. If the result of that is that I have to pay $600 to get to Sacramento then so be it.

This is good news for all the Boeing pilot's that can take advantage of the new 787 upgrade which intern also helps the pilots below them move up.

Nice report!

Love your taste in music Juan. Keep that jazz coming.

787 is so much better as a passenger. The lower pressure alt inside the cabin and higher humidity makes a world of difference in terms of how you feel when you arrive at your destination.

Good info as always! Suggestion, use an adblocking browser for your screen captures.

Super excited to finish my CFII and move onto the airlines :)

I used to tell people when they asked what I did was "I put the plane in the plane" I was responsible for the Dreamlifter or LCF more correctly in CHS. The LCF is the most unique airplane I ever dealt with. I plan on two more years and calling it a career after 45 years of playing with airplanes. The 787 is just so different how it's built and put together. It's always fun for me to ride in them as I know where the section of airplane I'm in was built and how it is attached to the next section. Love your channel Juan keep up the good work

Yes you got right

Thanks Juan.... Shoe🇺🇸

Juan you truly are a guru

Just one small correction, the 737 doesn’t even have a red “Master Warning” system, Just yellow “Master Caution” and red “Fire Warn”

I missed your copilot dog helping you "fly" this time. 🙂

Apparently the max-7 is also required to have the new warning system in addition to the max 10

Hey Juan. I'm an 80-year-old 180 pilot. Think I may have a shot? LOL

India bought about the same amount of aircraft. Unfortunately, there has been a delay with Dreamliner deliveries last week. They said they "discovered an analysis error by our supplier related to the 787 forward pressure bulkhead," leading to a pause in deliveries months after they were allowed to resume in August. With these two large purchases, I’m hoping that my Boeing stock goes up to a price higher than I bought it at. 😒

In your experience has the automatic checklist feature worked well for you? I have had several emergencies throughout my career but rarely did they fit nicely into a checklist. Also, the 737 doesn't have a master warning, the red light is fire only and silences the bell. I love the MAX, but jesus it needs to stop growing and Boeing needs a new plane lol.

Would enjoy learning more about your triple-7.

Merry Christmas Juan! Gotta love Jenny for the tree :)

Boeing is still trying to get those 787 fuel tanks inspected for FOD. It is a cramped, strenuous job located in far flung Moses Lake that nobody wants to do. The per diem (actually per month) and hiring bonuses offered for hiring on are simply astronomical. Food, rent, and living expenses are covered on top of hourly pay. I was so tempted to do it I was practically salivating......but I am already beat up, old, and sore, and knew I just would not be up to it. The hiring guy told me that on top of all the loss of revenue for not being able to deliver those planes, AND the PM maintenance, once they have engines attached they are considered a motor vehicle and are required to have valid registrations. So they are paying that cost too. I wish I was still fit enough to do it.

Wow, Vince Geraldi! Didn't he do the Charlie Brown theme song? Any relation Juan? Great update! Cheers, Danny

Very interesting.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁

No one wants to pay for training for anything anymore. Regardless of industry. It's a shame.

I love technology... when it works.

I highly consider flying for United but I don't really want to move from NH but I wouldn't be against commuting from Boston to a base.

Congress is the opposite of PROGRESS!

Wow, these 787s have already matched the 747 output. This is so exciting. Im pumped. Well,🥲 the last 747 - 8 rolled out . Im going up this wknd to see it. Because my dad helped build the 1st one and we watched it fly together. Great cockpit lesson. My son is starting commercial pilot school in March. Im pumped. I took him up to the airplane museum to see the city Everett in Seattle and he got to stand in the 747 his grandpa helped build.! I also watched your Sydney video merry Christmas Juan , nice video.

I flew on the 787 from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale . I loved it. Comfortable, spacious, and a great ride! I also love the 777. Boeing builds the best planes, IMO.

Dash 7’s are in the same boat. I think the 7’s are pushing to be certified first of the 2

Maybe treating your loyal employees like expendable assets is a bad business strategy for a company built on trust. If it is just about the money you get the 737MAX results.

6:40 What do you suppose the box is that is on the glare shield, above the MCP? And what about the orange boots at the base of the control columns? How about that green rocker switch thing and lights on the center of the console?

United recently started San Francisco to Brisbane using 787-9 3 times a week (UA96) & hope to go daily once additional aircraft are available so probably will happen.

Hi Juan, could you make a video on the current state of regional airlines in the US and their future sustainability. Thanks

Typical pilot - "honey you put the star up wrong" Boeing should have kept the 757, not keep stretching the 737

Well 777X and Freighter also. The 767 & 757 Type Ratings are the 2 only different airplanes with 1 rating I know of

Nice job juan

I still like the B727-200 both adv and older. I got to do the flight release and sit as FE, with the real FE sitting right behind me. I planned M0.84, I was told that is not a good speed for that bird, M0.865. That was a great plane. Last Boeing I worked with was the BBJ, it was a good performer but ran out of engine at M0.82. Boeing is going to make the 73max10 as hard on runways as the 722adv. The MAX10 is going to be a 757-200 with fewer tires and brakes.

Way to go. How good it is to those engineers mechanics and technicians with tons of work ahead. Just get your act together and get crackin.

wow!!

This is awesome 🛫

Good music.

Thank you for explaining the MCAS system properly. It was never about any instability or design problems. It was supposed to make the MAX ‘feel’ the same as the previous versions. Unfortunately Boeing completely botched the implementation.

"See I'm washing lettuce (737), soon I'll be on fries, then the grill, a year or two I make assistant manager (777 F/O) ... and that's when the Big Bucks start rolling in".

Careful on the 34% raise at DAL. It’s cumulative and not immediate. At the end of the 7 year contract, it won’t really be 34%…..

Although living where I do I am in the Airbus corner but it’s great news to help Boeing get back to normal again.🇬🇧

Great news for the many venders around the world . I am a retired machinist and as they go away from the experimental aluminum many less machinists required . As long as they can keep feeding the pension , I am OK . I have seen the latest 777 with composite wings stacking up massive test hours , any word on how much longer until it may get certified ?
