Question for Delta Guys
A young cousin of mine, who would like to become a pilot, was boarding a Delta flight and asked if he could have a look at the cockpit and was told he could not.
Is this a company policy?

It depends on how busy/late they are...a lot of folks need to get in and out of the cockpit in the few minutes before the door is shut. A sightseer would be a roadblock.
It's always up to the CA too...I'd try it on another flight.
