BA and flight deck visit
Hi everyone.
I'm an ATC in Naples (LIRN-NAP) and tomorrow I'll be flying to London with BA.
It would be a very nice experience to see how people "on the other side of the mic" do what they do.
So... here is my question (any BA-crew answer would be very much appreciated)
Is it possible to stay with the flight crew during the flight?
Or is it totally forbidden?
I know it may seem a strange question, but I've been flying with italian crew as well, and sometimes they say it's allowed, sometimes they say it isn't (I'm talking about the same company flying the same a/c)
As far as I know it depends on the CPT... Is it true? Or does it depend on the company procedures?

Sorry but only ATC staff on duty are allowed
and we are not allowed to take revenue passengers in the to our office on flights leaving or entering UK airspace and most BA flights do so.
I wish you, however, a pleasant flight with BA

as I understand you can, as long as you organise it in advance. I have managed to do it many times. 24 hours is probably not enough notice, and you would need to contact the chief pilot.

Nope...Not on BA...We dont just base our procedures on 9/11 (they too had an "interest" in aviation and look what happened there) but BA had a closed flight deck door policy since the Nairobi Incident!!!!
