As a 747 Captain I can say with confidence that its just stupid. Sorry.
Are you sure you're a 747 captain or just play one on TV, because that is a pretty ignorant comment.
The B787 Dreamliner already does something like this with its flexible wings which raise up in flight. Likewise the B777X is going to have fold-able wing tips. Of course winglets of all sorts are used already today.
Truly amazing for a 'pilot' not to know these basics...
