HIGHLIGHTS

This video is perhaps one of the most unique video documentaries on the operations of the B717. The introduction features a presentation by the Chief Pilot as he discusses the history and overall options of the airline. Once this segment is completed, we jump right into our flights with a crew briefing that covers the numerous sectors being flown that day. For those of you who are keenly interested in the B717, you will be happy to know that prior to our first flight, our First Officers takes us through a detailed cockpit preparation that proved to be very insightful.

Nearing the end of our flights for day 1, our First Officer takes the time to discuss his career which started off by looking at Just Planes videos at the age of 12 and later using Flight Simulators. While the road to becoming a Commercial pilot can be challenging, our young First Officer gives prospective pilots the encouragement to never give up on your dreams.

Moving away from the cockpit, this video also features a scenic tour of Venice which was intriguing to say the least. Venice is one of the many destinations flown by Volotea and the short video clips of this amazing city just might encourage you to take that overdue vacation.

The final segments of this video feature a detailed aircraft walkaround, more presentations by Captains and a young female First Officer and many scenic and exciting views from the cockpit that all will enjoy. It’s without a doubt that this video program is well worth having and we certainly have to thank Volotea for opening their doors to the public to satisfy the curiosity of enthusiast and inspiring the next generation of pilots. Just recently, Volotea began acquiring A319s to slowly replace their B717 fleet. We certainly hope that Just Planes will revisit this unique airline in the future to film their A319 operations.
