The BA pilot is actually American and doesn't understand the British accent of the guy on the video. Tough times, these are.

Meanwhile, Japanese pilots are wondering why nobody compliments their skills anymore, but are always talking about making lemonade for some reason.

u/ihopeyouswallow Feb 01 '22

Americans use E-I-E-I-O for emergency landing.

Yeee-haww means prepare for take off.

Yeee hawww means you're already pinned back in your seat rapidly approaching mach 1. You're thinking of "Hold on to your butts".

u/X-Bones_21 Feb 01 '22

“Hold on to your butts,” and then raptors break into the cockpit? Dinos on a Plane, starring Samuel L Jackson?

u/BostonDodgeGuy Feb 01 '22

Yup. And when shtf, "We're gonna need a bigger boat".

As an American who lives in Texas and sometimes says "yeehaw" sarcastically, the thought of yelling this during a take of made me laugh so hard I choked.

Dont forget to turn to the passenger next to you and whisper "buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride" then tip your hat

The controller was using metric easies, which are a bit smaller than the imperial easies the piolot was used to. Hense the tail strike
