Question flybe. & bmi regional Flightdeck visits?

Hey,

Will be flying on flybe. and bmi regional as you might have guessed soon. I was wondering if cockpit visits (after shutdown) are possible on these airlines.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You never know unless you ask on board. BA have kindly provided me with two post-shutdown visits.

I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem - just ask the CA to ask the Capt and wait till the end when getting off.

Just bear in mind that the crew may be operating on a 25 min turnaround (that is from chocks in on arrival till push back on departure) so don't be offended if said visit is only a minute or two!

Just to let you know I got flight deck visits with both airlines and the crew were excellent.

Big thanks to the crews of flybe and bmi regional on both flights!
