A few days ago I flew back to SIN and on arrival, my CIC asked if we could let a kid in to take a look at the cockpit.....and the Capt said that it wasn't possible due to security reasons. Times have changed!!!!
I am so glad I have got some chances to cater quite a few kids to visit the cockpit back in the day when I was with CX, way before 911. We let them come up and if their parents are there I'll let their Dads to get a photo of them. Tomorrow's aviators, folks. Someone's gotta fly us around when we retire. Sometimes, a little PR also goes a long way to elevate our profession.
Because those good old days are long gone, no can do now!!! Thinking a cockpit visit is definetly out of the question, even on ground most of the time!!! Might as well get yourself a professional pilot licence and build up the hours to get the rating... then you wont have to ask!!!!
