Would you like to sit in the cockpit for your next flight???

I remember pre 9/11 having a few rather nice jump seat rides including landing at Heathrow at night. Very pretty. The real fun however was my son, on one cross canada trip to see my parents as an unacompanied minor (on A/C) managed to sit through much of the flight and landing in Vancouver. I never did figure out who the pilot was to thank he or she but a general hats off to the A/C pilots that used to go that little extra mile.

Now there is nothing remotely interesting about a long flight.. well except perhaps on the asian carriers
They don't even have the ATC chanel anymore .. jeeze .. I used to love listening to that stuff and its was very educational too.

Adios Amigos...

Maybe next time, I will try for the jumpseat. From reading all these posts, maybe it is possible.

Just offer to pay the $5 000 fine if the captain is busted... that should help.

Maybe the pilot was willing to bend the rules a bit on your behalf, assuming that you'd be cool about it and not post his infraction on an international Internet forum that anyone can read.

Point taken. But there is a point why I left out the flight number, and the crew names and the date.

"Whatever. I would personally prefer to have the Captain's wife sitting with us for 5 hours than some stinky company pilot."

Does your preference also include the Captain's husband?

I guess anything's possible in our society, Kirsten.

One would hope!

As for the NDT comment, I'm pretty sure we're all aware what NDT is, but thanks for the lesson.

I was unaware, so in a non smart a$$ed and non sarcastic tone - thanks for that lesson

People are so quick to jump on one another on this forum.

Their own insecurities get the better of them...
