It's long, so if you've got some time to burn it's a funny read.

And +1 for me - would love to have it on DL flights.
I guess I'm disclosing how long I've been flying by recalling the days when AA used have the cockpit camera and showed it on the cabin screen. I always thought that was the best.

While we're at it, lets also ask for the nose cone camera that AF uses during takeoff and landing. That is really nice.
