If we are getting into remembering jump seat rides, I have fond memories of getting on the jump seat and remembering the landing since 11/09, although like
faccfi and
moderndinosaur would not wish to tell reveal the carrier or person, although will say that in spite of favourable circumstances of the time, most here would still not be in a position to do so.
It is a shame that this option is no longer viable
, as it provides a real insight into what the role we all want so much is all about. Have to agree with the safety argument as well, you'd have to be an olympic hurdler to clear any one sitting in the third best seat in the house before the pilots have the axe! Sorry to anyone like
PWP who would love the oppurtunity, though if oppurtunity ever rises, I am sure you would confirm your career of choice is the right one. Crews are always fantastic at sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm. Heres hoping we all get there in the front 2 seats in the end.
