Summary[edit]

Description

Corporate executives always say they have an Open Door Policy but on Lufthansa they walk the talk!

Something you don't see much of anymore on a flight is the door to the cockpit open like this. Security concerns and FAA regulations keep this area tightly controlled and under lock and key for the most part.

As a kid I had the opportunity to travel with my father on many of his business trips. His company always flew him on Continental Airlines AKA (and how do I remember this?) The Proud Bird With The Golden Tail. It was a real treat for me to go and the stewardesses (yes, they were called stewardesses) would usually fawn over me which I'm pretty sure he enjoyed as well!

Anyhow, the highlight for me wasn't the ladies but the cockpit. They would always take me up there and the pilot would always ask me if I had my wings (a pin that the airlines handed out). I'd say yes then they'd tell me to jump in the seat and take off. All the lights, lever and switches were a kid's dream! Please note this was always on the ground, no passengers were in danger!

It's too bad that the kids of today don't get the opportunity to experience these little things that really make for a great childhood.
