Just wondering if someone could please clarify Cathay's exact policy on cockpit visits?
Does company policy strictly ban any pilots from accepting cockpit visitors? Or does the captain have the ultimate say?
On a Cathay flight Auckland to HK recently a steward refused point blank to show my pilot licence to the captain in enquiring of the possibility of a cockpit visit. If that is the reponse they are required to give, then that's fine.
I always ask, on the off-chance. Most airlines don't allow me to visit the cockpit these days. However I thoroughly enjoyed extended lenths of time observing from the jump seat on recent flights on Garuda from Auckland via Brisbane to Bali. Air Nelson Saab flights in NZ are usually good for a jump-ride too.
Can anyone recommend other airlines where there's a chance of a cockpit visit?
