Flight deck visits with American Airlines

[Speedbird777]

Do American airlines such as Continental or Northwest allow flight deck visits? If so, do they allow them during take off/landing?

[Fast Jet Wannabe]

No - never on any US carrier. It's against the law. You may well be allowed a look at the gate though.

In fact....a very good friend of mine who is a Captain with AA told me that technically speaking not even Flight Attendants are allowed in the Cockpit below 10,000 feet, as the Cockpit has to be a sterile environment.
