I will be flying CDG to YYZ on Air Canada 881 on Jul 21st, with a confirmed booking.
I have a lot of jumpseating experience (both personal and professional) but mostly on European carriers. I think I remember seeing some years ago on this forum that it was possible to be on the flight deck as a guest on Canadian-registered aircraft as well, unlike US ones (without an FAA licence or cockpit pass, that is). Could anyone please confirm this?
Also, would any of you know of a contact in AC I could possibly get in touch with before the flight, with a view to leaving word with the crew that I'll be onboard and with an interest in meeting them?
My thanks in advance for your replies.
