Cockpit Visit
 

Hello,
I am 15 years old. This fall my family and I are going to florida. Is it possible that the flight crew could invite my brother and I up to the cockpit to view the preflight activities before we board if we ask?

Ask the flight attendant as you get on. I never have a problem with it. However, we're usually a little less busy as everybody is getting off the plane so I prefer people coming up after the flight.

I always let them up. I put them in my seat and take a picture of them with their camera. I also had out metal Matchbox 737's to the kids who make an effort to come up and visit.

Very cool! It's nice to know there are guys and girls out there who still love aviation and want to help pass it on. Good job!

I always enjoy doing PR stuff with work. Got to take the plane to a PR thing a couple weeks ago where 72 kids (3rd-9th grades) were doing an aviation camp kinda thing. I volunteered for the trip because I love getting kids involved. They thought the plane was pretty cool, but didn't think it was so fun when the medics asked if they ALL WANTED SHOTS!!! Hahaha. Did a couple fly-bys for them when we left. Good times. :)

Sometimes I ask them if they have been to a Turkish prison before ;)

I agree with PIP, I like having kids visit after the flight....theres a little bit more time to show them stuff.

You ever seen a grown man naked? Do you like movies about gladiators?

Hey AAL763,

Don't pay attention to AZflyer he is quoting some lines form the movie "Airplane"....;)

You are ALWAYS welcome to come up and have a look on my flights.
