“Greed is Good!” - Boeings Downfall, episode TWO 👉🏻  https://youtu.be/nCbHpJShoXk?si=M3hZg... 

This is the second part of my series about Boeings fall from grace, and this time I will focus on WHY Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas and what happened after. 

This is one of the more frustrating videos that I’ve done in this series and I think we can trace A LOT of what later happened to this company, from this period. 

I hope you will find it interesting.

The Downfall of BOEING, part 1: Before “the Merger” 👉🏻  https://youtu.be/ym41Iz68j4s 

Today we are starting a project we are really proud of, over on Mentour NOW! 
It’s a comprehensive walk-through of the history behind Boeing and what has led up to the problems they are now facing.

During this and the next 2 weeks, I will go through  it in detail with three, completely independent videos which can be seen by themselves or as part of a playlist when all 3 are released.

I hope you will like this deep-dive into the history, all of which is needed to understand the present.

Have an absolutely fantastic day!! //Petter

Tomorrow’s video is a real nail-biter!! 
I’ve been looking forward to share this video with you because it highlights both how important it is to follow procedures AND how important skills, CRM and airmanship REALLY are. 

Welcome to another Mentour Super-weekend! 💕✈️

On Sunday I will start a video series on Mentour NOW! that I think you will all find super interesting, so make sure you stay tuned for that one as well.

Happy International Pilots Day and have an absolutely fantastic weekend!

Scam alert!! 🚨 😖 I will NEVER ask you to contact me on WhatsApp or Telegram in the comments of my videos or posts. 
If you see that, from someone using my picture but with the name spelled slightly different or with some extra symbol, it’s a SCAM. 

Please report them immediately and tell other users not to engage.
We try to remove them as soon as they appear but there are hundreds of these thugs out there. 😡

Is Pilot pay threatening to KILL green-powered aircraft? 👉  https://youtu.be/yyw3yW3sqRw 

A lot of companies out there are working on aircraft designs that will use some sort of renewable power source. So, what obstacles are they facing, and… what do pilot salaries even have TO DO with it??

I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!

Rewatch: Today it’s 6 years since this incredible event unfolded 👉🏻  https://youtu.be/8VcWX1zAuEs?si=Y_xob... 

The story of Southwest Airlines flight 1380 is both tragic and heroic. 
It includes everything from a dramatic technical malfunction to flight crew skills and some VERY bad luck…

There are also some important lessons about not operating TOO fast, even when the situation seemingly demands it. 

I hope you will enjoy this rewatch while my team and I are working hard on new episodes. 💕✈️

Are Boeing facing CRIMINAL charges?! 👉🏻  https://youtu.be/_Ak8IrEyPtc?si=HCVCe... 

A lot of things are going on with Boeing right now but in the middle of all the chaos, a really important expert-panel report has gone by, almost unnoticed.

And, as it turns out, it is THAT report, and not the ongoing Alaska Airlines investigation, that is causing Boeing the biggest legal problems right now. 

Stay tuned and let me know what you think about the video!

The video I will release today (13th April at  14:00  UTC) is SHOCKING in the true meaning of the word.

My team and I have spent considerable time, trying to unwind the madness of this accident and explain it in such a detailed way, that it can hopefully be understood.

Having said that, this was one of the most upsetting researches I’ve ever had to do and I hope it will serve as a stark reminder to all budding pilots out there, of just how important professionalism really is. 

The episode is close to an hour long so find yourself a comfortable spot, before you sit down and I hope you will find it interesting. 💕

My Patreons have as always, already had a chance to preview the video and come with suggestions, so what you are seeing here is version number two.

If YOU would like to preview these type of productions, interact with me directly in messages or in our group ZOOM hangout (and get loads of other perks) then join my Patreon crew here 👉🏻  https://www.patreon.com/mentourpilot  

I would love to hear what you think about the video in the comments, please leave a comment and a “like” before you leave.

Are we Actually Running OUT of Planes?! 👉🏻  https://youtu.be/Y0sAr2QToEo?si=nA6nC... 

The last 5 years have been nothing like we have ever seen before in the world of aviation. 

The MAX crashes, the Pandemic and the supply-chain issues it brought followed by the Boeing crisis has  now created a situation which has no real precedent and is therefor hard to navigate.

What we can clearly see though, is that the world is short on aircraft, so what can we do? 

In todays NOW! Video we will be looking deep into this subject and I hope you will find it as fascinating as we did!
