EU-US Jumpseat
Morning all,
I'm scheduled to jumpseat from the UK to the US, on a freight aircraft, for business purposes. I know the names of the operating crew, but have no previous experience with them. Aside from the usual courtesies, etiquette etc. does anyone have any advice on how to improve the chances of being allowed on the flight deck? I have already emailed the Chief Pilot...
I have a jumpseat booking, but as usual it is the Captain's final decision on whom he/she accepts.
Many thanks.

Advice - Become a very good looking female. . . . . . . anyway your right - only the flight's pilot in command can allow / permit cockpit access . .so when onboard, be very courteous, then request and politely wait for an invitation.

..and if he doesn't let you up there I would be surprised. Unless of course you worked as a flight engineer with Fedex a few years back in which case he might just ask you and your guitar case to remain in the back.
