Free rides?
Could any serving pilots tell me if they are ever, under any circumstances allowed to take family or friends up in their aircraft? This specifically refers to current fast-jet pilots.
I would suspect they would not be allowed to for safety reasons and fuel costs, etc....but is there any circumstance known where this would be allowed?
I can think of few things more satisfying after many years of intense training than taking up a family member and showing them what you do daily!!!!!
