As SLF I went to the cockpit many times in pre-9/11 era, including the last 30 mn of a domestic flight in the jumpseat, with landing and taxying.
Instead I was a bit surprised one week ago on a Portuguese domestic flight where a class of kids was admitted to the cockpit in groups of five. I have to say that the crew was attentive and closely watching me when reaching the toilet in the front of the cabin . I have to say also that it looked as planned earlier, as the teachers got business class bkfast and chatted with the crew , may be a reward or something like that. Does everybody know if exceptions can be made or airlines can allow such things ? Just for my curiosity, thank you.
