‘Follow me!’ Pilot reveals the secret staircase on a Boeing jet that leads to beds for cabin crew 

A pilot has revealed the secret staircase on a Boeing jet that leads to beds for cabin crew to rest during their shift. 

Steve Giordano, from New Jersey, took to his Twitter page @JTTsteve to showcase the hidden staircase which leads to the bedroom. 

In the clip, which racked up over 71,000 views, the pilot said: ‘Here is the crew rest area on the dreamliner here.’

Panning around the kitchen area he said ‘it’s in the galley’  before opening up a door which initially looked like a cupboard door. 

He walked up a narrow staircase into a small area with two beds with curtains between them for privacy.

Steve showed that there is also a seat in the room and a place for staff to hang their uniforms. 

He captioned the video: ‘Crew rest area on the B787-9 for your viewing pleasure #AvGeek.’

Many people who were impressed by the sleeping quarters rushed to the comments.

One person wrote: ‘That’s a pretty comfy spot, except for the seat. Hopefully delivering to a new owner.’

Another wrote: ‘If you are patient at the end of a trip and wait until the end you can often visit the flight deck and the crew are always happy to show you around – did this on one of my early A380 flights – talked about thrust settings for take off etc’

Someone else said: ‘Nice. It’s good to see they have a place to get away from passengers and relax!’

Many people who were impressed by the sleeping quarters rushed to the comments while others were not so sure about the space

Meanwhile others were not so sure about the space as some thought it looked a little too small and another thought it would be strange sleeping next to a colleague.

One person said: ‘Claustrophobic me says no thanks as much as it looks cool.’ 

Another person wrote: ‘Nice, much better than our A380 ones, though not sure how I’d feel about sleeping ‘next’ to someone with just a curtain between us, as opposed to above/below them.’ 

It comes after Steve shared a heart-stopping moment he descended through blinding cloud that hid the runway until just moments before the aircraft landed last year.

He was on the point of aborting landing the Boeing 767-300 when co-pilot Bob Allen spotted the runway lights, allowing them to touch down in Blytheville, Arkansas.

They were flying the 22-year-old former Japanese Airlines aircraft from Tokyo, to the small Arkansas airport.

Giordano switched off the jet’s autopilot and lined up the aircraft for the runway

The airport is not equipped with a modern instrument landing system making landing in poor weather considerably easier. 

Cockpit footage captures the two men performing a ‘non precision approach’ to the 11,000ft runway – meaning they had to see the runway from more than a mile out if they were to continue with their landing.

The non-precision approach system was similar to that used by pilots in the aftermath of World War Two, before modern navigation systems were developed.

As the aircraft descends through the cloud, one pilot monitors the instruments, keeping a close eye on the jet’s speed and altitude while the other looks out for the the runway.

The footage, which was broadcast on Giordano’s YouTube channel Cockpit Casual, shows the wipers on the windshield working at full speed as the aircraft descends through the cloud.

In a precision approach, a beam is broadcast from the end of the runway which tells a pilot if they are on the correct course to land on the center of the airstrip.
