Only a few of the cockpit windows can be opened (and then it is strongly advised to do this only when the aircraft is on the ground.)

I don't understand why you are asking. Have you been on a plane where this was possible?
I hope you are not serious with your comments, he didn't meant to open the window as you mean really open, he is talking about the window shade.
