Reverser,
Only flown once with em. LGW-MCO and back. There were 4 of us trainee pilots on board going to the states. Explained to purser who told Captain and bingo all up in flightdeck in the cruise. Two were invited to stay for landing.
I cam back a week earlier than the others and again was offered a landing jumpseat into LGW.
It would appear to me that VS are pretty friendly. Just explain your interest as per usual.
Anyway that is the end of another boring chapter in my life! More thrilling instalments in due course.
Byeee.
