"We definitely will be drinking. We're very tired," Greene says near the start of the stream. "So actually, we're just like real pilots."
The flight was inspired by Desert Bus, the painfully bad videogame about driving a bus from Tuscon, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada, in real time. Greene says near the start of the video that the idea originally came up as a joke, but they decided to run with it: He pitched the idea to Twitch, Twitch agreed to pay for it, and Greene and Boon thus themselves committed to being stuck in a fake cockpit for a solid day.
I can't claim to have watched the whole thing, but based on the bits and pieces of I've seen it doesn't look like the most professional flight that's ever been taken. Multiple guests pass through the cockpit (and get turns on the controls), and at one point there appears to be a mixup between the autopilot and the windshield wipers. There's also a debate a couple of hours in about whether the maneuvering stress could rip the wings of the plane off, shortly after which the plane's wings get ripped off. (They restarted from where they left off.)"
