Airline security?? Look what I found in a magazine article.

Not sure the URL is correct - getting this from a print source so here's a photo. No byline is given for the article, on traveling with children.

But really?? Cockpits are open for kids to chat with pilots??? Was this written in the 1980s? If this is true, they might as well stop scanning and checking us before boarding.

“Airplane” immediately came to mind for me too.

Yea, it’s far more sensible to turn America into a miserable security state than to make islam suffer to the point it reforms or disappears...

My grandparents flew out west from Virginia back then and their dog spent most of the trip in the cockpit with the pilots eating cookies with them that another passenger brought on and gave them.

Insane to open the cockpit to anyone these days.

That said, when I left Altus AFB for Korea, the local was a twin engine puddle jumper to get me to a real airport. The pilot, knowing I was military, invited me to sit in the copilot seat (short enough hop that it didn't require a copilot). Made for an enjoyable ride vs. sitting in the cramped back area with shoulder against fuselage and knees under chin....

But what a stupid policy in 2016! It can’t still exist.

If there are no muzzies on board, it is probably safe.

Don’t believe everything your read in a magazine or the Internet.
