Staff travel... sitting up-front with us... no problem in Argentina even today...
Wear an airline ID conspicuously, and ask the purser for a cockpit visit.
Passengers dont get nervous (provided you appear "official").
Except with European and North American airlines, of course.
I probably will say "stay with us for takeoff, come back for landing"...

In the old days... all little old ladies scared of flying, or enthusiasts were welcome...
Believe me, with
PR like that, I fostered many airline careers of young kids.
Putting them in the LHS at 35,000 feet, with my hat and earphones for a picture.
My son as an example... he is now a Learjet co-pilot, age 18...
And in a few years, maybe will be a 737 F/O...
