As mentioned earlier. I would love to get a ride on the Jump seat, if at all possible. Kulula Flight MN 0615. king Shaka to O.R. Tambo. 2nd July.
Hopefully someone can help.
Regards,
Vernon.

Hi Vernon;
I just ask the air-hostess when on board and then the Captain decides, and 9 times out of 10 I get to sit on the jump seat. Not the whole flight though, I sit there for the last 25 minutes and the landing... awesome. I've been successful on the last 5 flights...
Good Luck and enjoy - I must say it is a wonderful experience... oh - the first time "she" asked me 'why should we let you sit on the jump seat?"... and I handed over my license, and said, I have a license to fly a small Plane and would love to see what the Captain and Co-Pilot do with this big bird.... it works like a charm. Each time I ask now, I hand over the license, they simply go speak to the Captain who makes the decision....
As said, enjoy.
Take Care...
Linda

Thanks very much Linda. If arrangements are not made before hand, I will most definitely try that.

Will pass on your message Alan.
I think with all the water problems we are having here, he will be home a lot sooner the expected.
Cheers.
