Is there any room on a 146 cockpit for a jmpseat ride and do any EI pilot's do it?
I can show my logbook and PPL if necessary.

...bit of a tight fit around the knees, but you're supposed to be able to fit three in...

Hi,Rookie
Approach the load supervisor or senior ticketing person or cabin crew senior.If you're not at an EI base,chances are you won't see the cockpit crew before boarding.Sometimes,you'll get the bum's rush from the ground staff because they quite simply couldn't be arsed.Do show your license,if you have one,and be polite and don't throw a pout if you get turned down.
The JS on a 146 is basically the same as the crew seats and is a lot sturdier than JSs in other types.It completely blocks access to the cockpit so the CCM will have to hand over the tea and biccies past your ear.
