I've seen lots of kids say they couldn't get to see the cockpit since 9/11. I think it depends on the crew though. I just watched a little girl get to go up there as we were boarding on a flight from Orlando to Houston a few weeks ago. When the door is wide open as you board, it's fair game. It's probably just a question of whether the Captain wants to be bothered. Granted, I'm sure she didn't get to sit in the FO seat though. That was a really nice Captain in this video.
i think since 9/11 they have not allowed any outsiders to enter the flight deck, so it kinda sucks...
but once, when i was a youngin, i got to sit with the captain of an Alitalia flight... for about 10 mins. those were the days where people trusted one another!
I'm 16 and a girl, yet they still don't let me in the cockpit (thanks to 9/11--sarcasm), and that's just one of my dreams, hopefully I'll work there someday.
aha i still ask to go in the cockpit and they let me go... I even have a chat with the pilots for a little while... and i'm 17!! aha... I really like it
Wow This is really great. Too bad we can't do this anymore. Damn terrorist. Now a days a 10 year old girl walks into the cockpit and we are forced to think she has a damn bomb straped to her and wants to fly the plane into the white house. I am glad this little girl got such a great expirence.
When I was little I went onto the flight deck of a 747-100. The pilots showed me everything there was which is why I'm a pilot today. Just before I went back to my seat I told the pilots this was the first time I've been on a 747 and the FO said me too. LOL
It's genuine things like this that make me support certain airlines over others. I myself have had some real genuine moments with United Crew, even though they have gotten a lot of crap in the past. Go United Airlines!
Yes it was a United 737 from LAX to PDX. I didn't even know she was doing this until I reviewed the video a few days later at home. Yes - the captain was great to do this...
That was great for the captain to explain things the way he did. Many times we don't have the time to be able to get into much detail but I always enjoy when a kid comes up and asks questions.
I've sat in many 737s, MD-83s, CRJs, and 757s. My favorite is probably the MD!
Airlines don't care about what u get in college, as long you get 4 years and required hours of flight time+ licenses and your medical.

@bigbrad88 bull shit. FAA doesn't allow anyone in the cockpit unless they are crew for that or another airline.

The captain is really cool in this video. There are some pilots who won't explain even during line training. He is a gentleman infact.

you can study anything you want and still be an airline pilot. All that matters is you have a 4 year degree.

They were tied up and gagged in the lavatory. The little she-devil who was taping this got the pilot too shortly after this was filmed.
