Though not allowed, suppose you know a pilot or an F/o do you think its still a possibility? I am talking about domestic airlines, like Indigo, Spicejet, Etc. since they are generally much more strict on international flights. Hypothetically, if i knew a captain, would i be able to? Im hoping my friend saurabh (once he becomes a pilot ofcourse) will let me jumpseat.. hehe... what do u say saurabh? regards nitin Last edited by deaphen on Thu Feb 01, 2007 1:11 am; edited 2 times in total Back to top Aseem Member Joined: 15 Dec 2006 Posts: 2841 Location: YYZ Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 7:32 pm    Post subject: Re: Jumpseating on Indigo deaphen wrote: Do you guys have any suggestions for me? Look out for lots of pics and a crazy video. regards nitin just make sure you have enough memory cards and batteries. And aim for A.net photo upload, as I doubt there are any cockpit photos from India. good luck VT-ASJ Back to top C-GHKR Member Joined: 26 Dec 2006 Posts: 626 Location: yyz Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 9:28 pm    Post subject: Try to upload the video on FL350, it would be less frustrating and more satisfying than Anet. Of course, we need the stills for Anet. Have a nice time.

Likewise, even the crew often do not know if there is a Flight Marshal on board, and if they observe as well as report this, then there will be a major problem for PIC. Suggest you select a good window seat and take your photos, or hand your camera to your friend.

I'm sure he knows the rules/regs and would not do it if his career was on the line. If both the FO and the captain agree then great!! If he thought it was a bad idea then he wouldnt allow it, no matter how much you pushed him. You said that you will be able to visit the cockpit, so is this a cockpit visit or are you jumpseating (sitting in the cockpit from TO to landing) malQ, is it true that the crew don't know when an air marshall is on board? I find that extremely mad. _________________ eP007 Back to top the_380 Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 2329 Location: Mumbai, India Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:59 pm    Post subject: stealthpilot wrote: malQ, is it true that the crew don't know when an air marshall is on board? I find that extremely mad. You shouldn't find it weird.....safety is a different organization...what if the pilots are a part of the plot too... Also a pilot in IC was suspended because he took his friend's son to show the cockpit....A PASSENGER REPORTED IT!!!!! The pilot was based in DEL _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld A Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox Audio Producer!!!

You might be risking the job of your contact person. What most people do is do jump seating without prior announcement and then post the pictures giving no clue. rgds VT-ASJ Back to top deaphen Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 933 Location: India Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2007 1:13 am    Post subject: Hey Aseem: Thanks for the caution, but i really wish i knew someone who was a Captain... i was speaking hypothetically.... but thanks guys for the advice.... btw... mods can we lock this thread? since its kind of unclear about my hypothetical question.
