Someone on that youtube commented that this was the air bosses first show, having taken over from his father who was the previous air boss and retired the year before. The same commenter mentions that the breifing did not give any vertical separation as well as other shortcomings. There were experienced pilots in the room as well as the FAA rep and nobody raised a concern. I guess nobody wanted to be "that guy".
So with the change of lines for the two types of craft (given during the flying pattern no less), and no vertical separation given, the control of airspace was gone. Or was it ever there during this portion of the exhibition? It was dangerous before the line change, it became deadly with the line change.
