DVD #9 - At The Airport - Interview with Maintenance Supervisor and Cockpit Visit

These next three DVDs are all about what happens at the airport.  DVD # 9  starts with an interview with United Airlines Maintenance Supervisor, "Van" Van Clemput.  

This was kind of fun.  It's sort of an older video, but there were some good questions by scared flyers.  One of them being what Van would fear most if he were flying another airline.  He really struggled with this question...and ultimately his answer was he was most concerned they would lose his luggage.  :)  Basically explaining that he's very comfortable with flying.

Another question asked about what is the roughest kind of weather when it comes to maintenance.  And Van said it was snow and ice and then explained the process of de-icing a plane and quelled a lot of fears of mine.  Being that we're flying in January...this kind of issue bothers me.  But after listening to Van's explanation, I feel a lot better!

The second part of the DVD is a cockpit visit.  Capt. Bunn takes a fearful flyer into the cockpit and walks her through taking off, flying and landing a plane.  This was also quite interesting for me.  It was a good visual of all I've learned from the past DVDs.

And then we move on to DVD #10
