I can offer two suggestions:

1: If you or your family travels overseas, book the trip on a foreign carrier. Once you are out of US Airspace on a non-US airline, there is a slight possibility you might be able to visit the flight deck.

2: Try to find a mentor in your local area. Easier said than done, I know. I was lucky, my father worked in the hospital with the wife of a major airline pilot, and the wife of a pilot instructing (and subsequently moving up the career ladder). These gentlemen were enthusiastic about sharing their experiences and advice with me.
If you want to find a mentor, perhaps start with joining your local EAA chapter.
