I was wondering if passengers are still allowed to go inside the cockpit in the US. i knew the general manager at Southwest and got to go inside the cockpit and walk around the aircraft and see different stuff. i really just want to basically job shadow for a day to see if this is exactly the profession i want to pursue being as i'm 17 and my options are still open... any possible way someone has connections?

best regards,
Will

agree with trijet.

Rules are rules, but damn.. some exceptions should be made sometimes. Maybe it was wrong of the captian to let my friend sit in the cockpit, that's fine and probably correct.. what I reacted the most to though was that you did not believe me.. why the hell would I lie about such a thing?

heh

Hey Sean....


Noone was accusing you of lying my friend, they were just a little skeptical about the course of events and how your friend proclaimed them.

As a matter of fact, I'm a little skeptical...but I wasn't there.....

Ive heard of people managing to get a peep in the cockpit during the flight. It seems to me that in the US the only way that you are going to get a look at the flight deck is if you are wearing a uniform (pilots!) or somtimes preflight or at arrival. Outside the US it doesnt seem to be policed so much with some airlines (especialy charters) allowing passengers inside although this is what i have just heard from friends that are cabin crew.

Last year i was a passenger with MyTravel airlines and was surprised to se the captain keep the door open throughout the taxi to the runway, guess he forgot!!!

Yup. The pilot was a real nice guy though, when we got of the other end he followed me off the plane down the stairs to do checks. Unfortunately the coach taking us to the terminal building was full ,so whilst I waited for another one me and the pilot had a chat!
