- This video project captures one of the most amazing experiences I've had with an airline. On October, 1 2017 I had the chance to fly on Southwest Airlines's first MAX 8 revenue flight along with my production colleague Ryan Bomar. The aircraft was very impressive and indeed a marvel of modern travel technology. More importantly, I got to experience a deeper sense of the Southwest Airlines family, and how they bring an inviting warmth to their passengers. From customer service, public relations, every employee was truly happy to be on this flight and share their passion about working with Southwest. CEO Gary Kelly, has done a mighty fine job with the morale of this airline, and was a pleasure meeting and flying with him. I will definitely seeking out more flights with Southwest.
See Ryan Bomar's video here.
• Southwest 737 MAX 8 - ...
WOW, look how much quieter those LEAP engines are on the 737 MAX. Amazing.
Mostafa Mansoori It's insane how the noise level is so much less than even the 700/800.
at 4:45 when the CEO is talking about new routes someone shouts out Hawaii. Three weeks later Southwest announces straight flights to Hawaii. 🤔
Dayon Wong That worked out nicely :)
That man (the Southwest employee interviewing passengers) is so dedicated! God bless him!
Thomas DeMicke Agreed :)
At 16:35 just above and in front of the engine, that's me filming your touchdown next to the yellow trash can!
That's awesome you were able to be there for the landing. Looks like you had a nice clear view!
I used to go down there and sit in that exact area when we lived in Houston. I was actually closer to IAH, but sometimes made the trip into town.
I've never been outside of the HOU airport, but appears that spot gives you a pretty clean, unobstructed view of landings.
LoveJT8D yep it was nice
Michael Tovar same here Hobby is a drive but you get closer than iah
WOW you actually survived!!!!!!!!!!
yurieu Indeed I did 🙂 A comfortable passenger experience overall.
yes he did...and boeing employers email are revelation ..this company do not care about customers..
I'm not scared to fly on a 737 max again
Nolan The dab king I’m sure once the max comes back online it will be a fine aircraft. It was a really enjoyable passenger experience.
@@LoveJT8D i heard the max has very comfy seats on southwest airlines i flew the 800 with those comfy seats but a little different i also heard someone who was suppose to fly on a max the day they got grounded luckily phoenix is a southwest hub and had a backup 800 plane ready to go flying to kansas city
michael sharp I will say that the seat on this flight was indeed a comfortable. The day of this flight we had some technical issues after this leg, and they had to bring in an 800 to shuffle everybody around.
You better be.
You should be.
Firstly, impressive videography. Sound and visuals are the best I've seen ever on CZcams. I love watching anything Southwest. No company in the world except maybe Disney gets it's employees to "buyin" like Southwest does. Every staff member of Southwest you see, from pilots to Flight Attendants, gate staff, Check-in and even the humble rampy, they all look like they are proud to work for an organisation that's a little bit special. Herb Kelleher must be a very proud man.
Ozgrade3 Australia Thanks for the kind words! This trip as been added to one of the most exciting shoots I've done. Definitely was impressed with the morale amongst all of the employees attending the event. As a passenger, it makes you want to be part of that. Back in the thick of my nervous flying years, Southwest had a way of calming me with their inviting, fun atmosphere.
Be thankful to be alive...
Timmy H I am everyday 🙂
@@LoveJT8D When you don't get it...
Planes and Games Trust me, I do haha. I try to remain neutral in sensitive subjects in aviation. Not a doubt in my mind this flight was operated in the utmost care and safety by Southwest’s pilots.
@@LoveJT8D ok then
@@LoveJT8D I dont doubt pilots..If the vehicle is faulty then what can a driver do..the company is liable..
16:45 loooove that noise of the engines
liliana lol Definitely a cool engine all around. While the aircraft is quieter than older 737s, these new GE’s just look cooler.
I dont. No buzzsaw roar, miss the old cfms
That is an awesome video! Oh man, those engines, I'm speechless! If you want to (kind of) experience the 777-like engines, take a flight on a MAX or A320neo, with their own little GE90's!
Exactly my thoughts when I first started seeing MAX videos surface on CZcams. Also very close to the 787 engine sound as well. Glad you enjoyed the video!
U MEANT SCARE BUS 320 !
FlyingSpartan try flying on a 737NG sometime. Learn what an engine is supposed to sound like before they are retired.
Because of the fan sizes that tend to get bigger due to better efficiency you should get theoritically closest sound with the Ge90 aboard A320Neo because the Leap 1A is slighty bigger than the Leap 1B found on MAX
Don't worry, I HATE the new generations of jets. I've been lots of times on 737ng's, 757's, 767's and more.
I’d rather walk on water first
Hot Memphis Music artist and cars I’d say you still have some time while the Max is grounded 😁
It would be safer.
It would be safer.
@@johndunkle740 there is about a 700 percent higher chance to die of drowning, or waking in water, than flying.
There is a 3505 percent higher chance of dying in a car crash. Stop driving don’t swim, and don’t eat cause you’ll get a heart attack. 👍🏼
Great vid. Hope they figure out problem really soon to get theses birds flying again.
Thanks! Glad you liked the vid. I hope they get flying again soon. Sad to see Southwest's parked in the desert.
Are you dumb so many people just died and boing gives a shit and lets even more people die, let that piece of garbige on the ground
You would have to be a complete idiot to ride on this EVEN if they do get it fixed.
Cannot believe how quiet the engines are! Awesome!
topher1976au Although I miss the louder smokier engines from the 737 original series, I am quite impressed by the noise suppressing technology in the MAX.
Agree there! LOVE the louder engine noise! (But the residents near the airports don't lol)
Nothing short of amazing once again Philip, fantastic video! I hope you guys had a great time!
Thanks Jay! Was definitely a memorable time hanging with the Southwest family for a day.
Awesome reverse thrust sound in the landing!!!
Best Airline?
Southwest: Like
Delta: Comment
Both
Delta was smart! They didn't buy any.
SouthWest is a nice airline but this video is totally misleading. It was filmed before we knew any better. These people should consider themselves lucky.
@@johndunkle740 the MAX isnt terrible, the pilots didn't have enough experience
@@johndunkle740 stop commenting on everyones posts against the max
Very beautiful and Quiet aircraft thumbs up for a wonderful MAX flight!
James Brian Benito Thanks James!
Great vid. Love Southwest
Shaggy 7888 Thanks!
Wow. So quiet. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks for the great video!
Chase Larabee Thanks Chase! You won't be disappointed with a flight on the Southwest MAX.
So quiet on takeoff!!! Wow! What awesome technology! Great coverage!
PokerRun388 Thanks!
Having recently flown on a 737-9 It amazed me just how much quieter the MAX 8 is. I haven't gotten the pleasure to fly on one yet but judging from the video alone its quite spectacular.
JoshuaPlays Definitely a treat when you get the chance to fly on it. Was replying to another comment that I flew on a -900 model myself and was considerably louder to my ears. We're all used to it, but the MAX puts it in perspective.
I recently rode the 737 and 738 on Southwest. I tell you on idle the engines are loud as hell. Espically the lower hum of the noise. CFM56s might have a great buzzsaw sound, but Jesus Christ were they loud!
21xd09 Yeah the noise level difference between the NG models and MAX is quite remarkable.
But one thing I love with a lot of these really new generation engines is that the reverse thrust is still loud and seems even more powerful!
Agreed! With the presence of the reverse thrust, these engines can still sound mean from the inside :)
LoveJT8D that's the best bit anyway. I've noticed it also on the Dreamliner and CS series aircraft
god bless you didn't go down
Absolutely! It was a very comfortable, scenic, and memorable flight.
Uninformed comment.
@@Spyke-lz2hl yeah fr. I hate dumbasses that are CZcams knowledge warriors. All those pilots had to do to prevent the crash was trim against the plane.
@@andrew3084 there was a bit more to the planes isssues than just trimming, but I trust the American pilots more than I'll trust 3rd world countries pilots
@@jcspotter7322 my DADDY(sorry) flies(flew) them and says all you need to do is trim it up. He also flew the good maxes though, so I'm not sure. but he's still a pilot with a shit ton of hours on the 737 so ill trust him.
Boeing did a oppsie on this one, especially with not informing the pilots about it being a new computer system in place that adjust the pitch angle to compensate for the poor engine placement on the wings, manfunctioning or not, they should have been informed anyways, especially about something as critical as a automatic pitch angle adjuster.
Adrian I hope all gets sorted out. Before this problem was known by the masses, it was a really cool plane to fly on.
What a beautiful bird! Very impressive cockpit with those HUGE Interface Displays.
Eric Lozen Yes, quite a work of art for a modern airliner.
I lived the flight experience on southwest it's so amazing and I love it so much bless southwest airlines! #southwestairlines
To day I few on southwest 737 max8 from Atlanta airport to lga the engines were really quiet I barely heard them and the lights in the cabin were on fleek
Great footage! The Max 8s look fantastic
Thanks! The Max 7, 8, & 9 definitely have a fresh look for the 737 family. Southwest did an excellent job with the interior.
Absolutely! I'm looking forward to a flight in one with AA next month :)
Paul Stewart EXTRA Awesome! Enjoy your flight.
how could the 737 Max 8 couldnt crash in this vid?! It is suposed to thinks Boeing...
wow its so quiet thats downright amazing i did get a 737-300 ride before they retired them all i cant wait to scout one out and take a ride on one seems like boeing finally got the 737 tuned exactly right
Agreed! The MAX was definitely running in full harmony. That's nice you were able to sneak in another 300 ride. I was searching for 300 flights, but weren't many options on the west coast.
And I thought the engines on the 787 Dreamliner were quiet. These are ridiculous. Boeing knocked it out of the park with the new 737.
SW airlines sure can use PR with the best effect...
Totally Beautiful plane and you done an excellent job...Thank you so much for your videos and everything you do
Aviation Bledsoe thank you for your answer and I do greatly appreciate it too...that even sounds great even must be fast too..with new engine..
Thanks for the kind words, and I do appreciate you for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video!
LoveJT8D your welcome..these are some awesome videos that you do..
Many thanks :) More to come.
Listen to those new engines sounds like the 777 I love it
Derek Ferrell Yes, I love how it sounds like a mini wide body :)
It sure does it so cool
I want to ride on it some day
DEREK 777 I personally don’t but it doesn’t matter because it’s grounded anyway
A real pleasure to see this 737 up in the air!
I have that shirt at 1:14! Great video, will be flying the WestJet 737max this winter!
Awesome! Hope you have a most enjoyable flight on the MAX. Will be cool to see how WestJet sports the interior.
FANTASTIC video!
I'm sure, this was an outstanding experience...thumbs UP!
Was definitely an awesome flight and to experience the true Southwest Airlines hospitality. Glad you enjoyed the video!
zerberus500 if your idea of an outstanding experience is listening to chatter then absolutely
As the song goes " All my exes live in Texas" I never visited Texas, I am from Boston, but it looks like an interesting place to visit.
TigroTom It is a cool state to visit. Having previously lived in TX for a couple of years I can say, Austin has a beautiful “hill country” to the west of it, with wine trails, and beautiful lakes like Lake Travis. Not to mention good live music and BBQ.
@@LoveJT8D Sounds good. I'll need to plan a trip in upcoming year then.
beautiful city, and nice engine sound!
Almost didn't catch the shot of Dallas after takeoff, but turned around at the last minute and there it was!
I'm flying on a MAX from Dublin to Boston on Norwegian with my mom, I heard it's pretty terrible so niether my mom or me are looking forward to the actual flight, 7 HOURS IN A 737!!! But hey at least the price was good :-)
Can't beat the good airfares :) I agree that's quite a long time in a 737.
Great video miss the buzz saw noice
Lovely airplane
Todd Vollweiler Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
That sound on takeoff
You know what sounds better? The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit...oh, I went there!
RyanBomar YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!
Alright, I'll back down, I'm in a good mood...you're the best!
RyanBomar Damn right!
What engine sound? Lol
Too bad the max 8 is grounded until September. I was planning on going to Hawaii this summer and taking southwest since I fly for free due to my fathers frequent flier miles with southwest. We would’ve been on a max 8 to Hawaii but they don’t have flights there right now due to the grounding :/
XxHockeySlay3r32xX It’s a shame the grounding had to happen so early on, or at all for that matter. I’m looking to do a Hawaii flight next year and the max would be such a cool plane to take overseas. Will have to see. Did you end up going on your trip? Or are you waiting for when the max comes back on board?
Great to see that you have survived this...
Me too. It was an awesome flight!
Wow that's a quiet plane. The last 737 I flew was in May 2017 on a 737-900 from LAX to Hawaii and it was loud.
RareDiamond Ching I flew a 900 yesterday, and as you said, noticeably louder once you experience the decibel level inside the MAX.
We were in First class too but that's what Bose Noise Cancelling headphones are for. Can't wait to fly the MAX maybe next year or now that Southwest just announced they'll be flying to/from Honolulu, sooner.
Shutup old 737 buzz is the best
WOW! Is that ever quiet. I'm impressed!
Alexander Wolle Insanely quiet! Even compared to the -700/-800 models.
Southwest is awesome!
businessbuilding1 They indeed are 😁
i'm flying with them 3 weeks from now hope i get the max8 :D i love southwest and will use them forever for my regional flights American we're through...
denziiey That's awesome. How was your flight, and did you get the max?
LoveJT8D flight was good. Sadly no max :(
Southwest please come to Fresno! We hit 1.7 million passengers in 2018 and are the biggest city in America without Southwest. Plus we're getting ready to put 115 million into airport expansion. Most of the city and surrounding valley are dying for you to come here. You guys would make a killing here. Las Vegas is always full on allegiant flights. People loved their Hawaii service while they had it and filled 757s. Go into Ontario, new service to Houston, etc. Come on guys!
omaha airport has grown a lot as well over 6 million passengers served
Video really well done!!
Thanks! It was definitely awesome to experience Southwest's warm hospitality in full swing. I'm sure at some point, those fancy MAX 8's will begin serving CMH.
Those engines are super quiet. Wow!
Shane Simon It’s quite impressive!
NICE video, however I'm still an old kind of plane guy, MD-80, 727, ETC. Anyway nice video (: please do more!
Thanks! I'm an old plane guy myself. In fact, if Southwest acquired just one 732 to keep the av geeks happy, I would book flights on it by any means necessary :) Glad you enjoyed the vid.
8:40 - Two CFMs a LEAP-ing
Would much rather have that for my second day of Christmas ;)
Super gorgeous video and great channel!! Just subbed
dmairplane Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video and channel.
Southwest hit it out of the park with the max
I love southwest :D
Icicle xD They are indeed an awesome airline.
Wow one of clearest video’s I’ve seen. I assume 4K?
Thanks Randy. Just shot in 1080P at 60FPS. I've found that the glass on your camera makes all the difference. Will be interesting to try 4K at some point.
Reverse thrust ftw! But the buzz is gone....
Yeah, if you're a big reverse thrust fan, this is the engine for you :)
Did you feel like the plane ever ditched downward?
Darkk_est Never had that feeling. Overall it was was a smooth and enjoyable flight.
Its called MCAS, The unknown stabilizer. Also know as
M - May
C - Crash
A - Any
S -Second
Great. Cant wait to see them in Jamaica
737 Max I hope you dont crash again so I can be on one of you're fleets.
The max 8 messed us up!!!
It’s so quiet wow
The 737 is the absolute "workhorse" of the Boeing fleet. Many will agree it's the best plane ever built. I think I'll agree with that! Short haul...long haul...I feel perfectly safe. SWA will soon be flying this plane from the S.F. Bay Area to Hawaii. They want some of that popular "market."
sunking2001 Yeah for now they mentioned SJC because that’s where one of their ETOPS maintenance base will be based. They’ll probably add SFO and/or OAK eventually.
Never.
sunking2001 Here's the point out the obvious comment. No fucking duh.
Re-read your stupid comment...then try to comment again.
8:38 Engine TO/GA As well Rolling Takeoff
The view of that engine in flight!!
bigmac It’s an awesome view 🙂 Gives the 737 a little more character.
LUCKY IT DIDN'T CRASH ON TAKEOFF
It was quite a pleasant takeoff. Glad it remained that way.
STICK SHAKER GOES NUTS THE MOMENT IT LEAVES THE GROUND > DEATH RIGHT THERE.
Back when people were excited to get on the max
Brady Haley It was definitely a thrill. Hope they get the issues sorted out soon.
LoveJT8D I bet it was a thrill, like roller coaster
@@whitemailprivilege2830 It was peaceful as can be :)
Yep one of the best. They’re big here in Houston.
Agent S You definitely get to see them quite regularly. I’m guessing there’s a good handful of them in Southwest’s fleet now.
LoveJT8D I would think so , but I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to identifying certain models.
This video is just top notch....
Emmanuel Maenda Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed.
It is so quiet on takeoff! My friend’s mom works for southwest and he was on that flight! Kind of jealous.
TYler_ SChecter Although I love engine sound during takeoff, I have to say it's really impressive how quiet the cabin is.
I think this plane had lots of potential. Outs sad to see it being downgraded by the media and other people. Boeing should've been more careful and thoroughly checked and tested the plane, as well as treason the pilots with MCAS actually in the manual.
Can't wait to see the max flying again in mid 2020 and 2021. Will definitely try it out on Qantas or virgin Australia. Thanks for uploading mate👍
Kai's Aviation Channel Thanks for checking out the vid! It’s definitely been tough for Boeing the last couple of years. Hope they can put it all behind them soon.
So shiny!!!
Hugo S. Hot off the press 🙂
Notice how all of them are grounded
Sad to see them grounded before they really had a chance to serve the industry, but safety first.
All the American airlines max 8 are grounded in Tulsa at there largest maintenance base
GREAT PLANE! I’ve been in it
Yudiana Ahmadi Awesome! What route did you fly?
2 hours 15 minutes domestic flight from Jakarta to Medan in Indonesia, two weeks ago
The engines are so quiet. You can hear people talk during takeoff
Slowly gone are the days were engine sound covered up the chatter.
Thoise engines sound amazing! Great video!
What camera did you use?
HD Aviation Videos ✈ Thanks for stopping by and watching! Definitely a nice updated sound to the engines. Quieter, but that seems to be the trend these days. I used a Nikon D750 with the 24-120mm kit lens, and some of the airport b-roll shot with the 50mm f1.4 prime lens.
Great! Thanks for the info! By the way, I uploaded a few days ago a similar video but on a 737-800 with CFM56. Check it up if you wish.
HD Aviation Videos ✈ Nice video there. The CFM’s on the 800 are definitely louder than the Leap. Nice views during your landing and liked your footage of the lounge and in-flight snack.
Thank you! By the way, louder for me isn't necessarily a negative thing. I wish I could fly again on a 707 to hear those JT3D roaring during takeoff.
It's certainly quiet and a MAJOR improvement. However, my personal opinion is i don't think it's as quiet as an A320neo. And NO i DO NOT WORK FOR AIRBUS folks...!!! Just an avid flight enthusiast.
My Grandma got to fly on one of these but she flew to Phoenix from Albuquerque
Jbob18 Awesome. The views are amazing around those two airports. Sounds like she had a nice MAX flight.
LoveJT8D yeah she loved. She flies for Southwest every week and she always compares her flight to the max
Beautiful Boeing 737-max8
Maja Andrukaniec Definitely! Hope to see more airlines ordering them.
Only if you knew was this plane really was at that time, glad is grounded
Y D Hope they get it all sorted out.
I loved it
So quiet. WOW!!!
Antonio Ramos Pretty amazing!
Nevermind
Haha no worries. The size of Texas could make some flights feel like that :)
So quiet compared to plane engines from like 10 years ago
What kind of amazing camera is this?
Daim Yousif Glad you enjoyed the vid! I was using the Nikon D750 with the 24-120 kit lens. Mostly using manual focus.
imagine this A320 classic and 737 NG are replace Boeing 737 Max And A320 Neo
I'm glad it's the other way around :)
No when the max got grounded delta was trying to order a max but they stopped ordering it then replaced it with a 737-900ER
Those engines are so quiet, I thought the audio on my iPad broke😀
TTubEGaming ! Haha. Yeah the noise canceling effect is pretty amazing in the MAX.
lol it happens
It's so silent damn
Yeah, you can't really hear all of the unique engine sounds from inside. For for a lot of travelers that's okay. For aviation enthusiasts maybe not so much haha.
@@LoveJT8D yeah that's the sad part I suppose. I'm gonna miss the old buzzsaw of the CFMs
I still have to plane it but l will try to make a video
Awesome! Would love to see it if you make one.
So, a 62-year-old aircraft makes a comeback..Whoop-de-do???
C'mon people, SHUT UP!! I want to hear the bloody engine!
The glory days are slowly fading where engine sound covered up the cabin chatter.
I hate when they first take off and are only a couple thousand feet off ground and I hear that engine starting to back off, I always think (is it failing?) Also I don't like turns and maneuvering unless done above the clouds.
Da Reptile I’m with you on the engine draw back after takeoff. I’m more used to it now, but growing up a nervous flier, it would make me feel like we lost all lift haha.
wow! it was climbing pretty fast
Andrew Cunnison Definitely impressive performance from the Leap engines.
Andrew Cunnison I know right it so cool
Like if you want to ride the boeing 737 max 8
Do you think you'll hop on a Max flight at some point?
If MCAS was still in operation in those first flights, how could these planes fly?
I could be wrong, but as far as I know, MCAS kicks in only in certain instances if the aircraft has an abnormal change in pitch. Overall I think the Southwest pilots were properly trained on how to deal with most of the nuances of MCAS.
Your comment sums up the public ignorance about this situation well. There were many MANY more factors at play in those accidents than just mcas. Hundreds of these planes were flying around without issue. Try and think outside just what the TV tells you
Was this a transatlantic flight??
Wow Boeing made their promises by making the 737 engines quieter
Gbonze17 They definitely did. A lot quieter even when compared to the NG models.
Oof it's grounded now lol
Erk Sampat Still can’t get a grasp on when they’ll come back into service. So much speculation and differing reports.
@@LoveJT8D Yeah true. I hope Boeing is relatively fine in the end whatever happens. Also I love your username JT8D sounds amazing.
Erk Sampat Thanks! As a channel owner I always have a little “buyers remorse” on the channel name haha. Glad you like it 👍
Nice video!! What seat were you in?
AviatorTravis I believe this was seat 8F. Thanks for watching!
Did the pilots ever turn on the engines?
