hey I used to be a bus driver and people used to stand and talk to me all the time - never minded it, especially if I knew them.
Had many great jump seat rides - Trident, B757, Herald, Electra, DC6, DC8, Bristol Frieghter, B747 - never overly chatty not wanting to distract the crew, but engage in conversation when invited.
