Arthur,
I haven't seen the video myself but the information I gathered about it is
mainly in a positive manner although some people criticized about missing
in-depth information on some of the Airbus' cockpit goodies. Capt. Stephan
Conrad is one of my former colleagues on the A330 fleet and in fact the one
that gave me the farewell handshake upon my dismissal from active service in
2001  ) (not his fault. He was deputy fleet chief at that time...) A very
nice and well respected fellow. Just to make it sure: it's a video about a
SWISS flight which is the successive company of SWISSAIR, built from the
scrapped remainders of SWISSAIR .. ). There's a MD-11 video from SWISSAIR
which is regarded to be even better and more detailed.
