Very true mate. As a wannabe myself, I used to enjoy visiting the flight deck and having a chat with the pilots. My bird used to work for JMC/TCX, and she used to clear it with them before we used to fly, so I usually got quite a bit of time up there (including T/O of landing).
I fly quite a lot these days, and miss those flight deck visits.
Nice to see some pilots out there appreciate the positions of the wannabe's and enthusiasts
