Zorba · Post by **Zorba** » 25 Jul 2003, 12:36

Hi all!

This sunday I go on vacation to Malaga. Does somewone can ask the pilots of flight SLR2739 if I can join the flight in the cockpit (or a part of the flight)?

Please ask! The flight departs at 7 PM, we land at Malaga at about 10 PM, so we can have a beautifull sunset (around 9.40 PM?)

Thx

Avro,

Thx. Do you think, if I ask the pilot to join the flight in the cockpit, he would say yes?

I hope so

Rutger,

depends on the captain but since 09/11 pilots don't like inviting people in the cockpit... Hope you can go in though!

ciao,

Bart

My sister came back a few weeks ago from Sharm El Sheik on SLr, and during the flight, the cockpit door was even open.

Just go and say hello

On my SLR flights about 3 years ago, I was invited in the cockpit every time. But unfortunately not for landing

Good luck - nice holiday.

Regards
Frederic

Last year I was able to make a jumpseat landing on a VEX flight.
I just wrote a motivation letter (saying that I'm an aviation enthusiast etc...) and gave it to the purser while boarding he aircraft. I've done this on two flights and I had the chance to go once. So 50-50

it works.

But today with all new regulations

Anyhow, I would try, it costs nothing

Hi,

Thx all! I think i'll write a letter to the captain .... Or just say it to the purser. Then he/she can ask the captain if I can

I realy hope so, it's a long time ago I flew, so i'm realy looking forward to it!

I'm going to miss you all!

Maybe I'll load your flight (very unlikely, but there's a chance - students do the most charter-flights

). I work sunday from 3PM till 11.30PM. Make yourself recognizable. lol

So, one advise... don't make your suitcases too heavy!

For whom? Those who load the planes? Good idea! Glider will appreciate...

Anyway, have a nice flight, take pictures of the meals (the meals? which meals?) and make a full report of your flights in the airline experience section of the Luchtzak forum 8)

Unless you've got a female captain who's on diet

Hi,

Maybe I can give "American Cookies" -> Cookies with chocolates

I will take lots of pictures of the airplane offcourse and the meal and the stewardesses

(PS Glider : I will wear a orange cap, like the people of EasyJet

)

I did that in 2001, but with CityBird, in C class. Great!

The funny thing is at the stop in Cuba: they spray insecticide to avoid capitalistic bugs. Compulsory, by law!

Maybe I can get a promotion then

Are there models of Sobelair planes that you can buy on the aircraft?

Glider · Post by **Glider** » 26 Jul 2003, 11:30

BIVA,

which seat do you have? Just additional information. If I have the plane, and when you are sitting at the right side, it's possible to see you (and your orange cap :p)

Oh yeah, cookies and chocolates are very welcome, I'll appreciate it, and I'm sure my colleagues will do too!

Anyway, have a nice holiday!

Glider,

I don't know, I don't have my ticket, I will know my seat at the last moment (at the airport).

I've just noticed that I don't have a orange cap

If you look at the cockpit, you will see me

(I hope

)

Which company do you work with? Maybe you can wear someting ...

My mam is now at the shop, so she can buy some american cookies
