To those of you who welcome kids for visits to the cockpit, thank you.

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who take the time to have kids (and their grown-ups) visit you. The other day, I asked if my eight-year-old son could visit the cockpit quickly while everyone was deplaning. The crew were so welcoming. It was the end of a long flight and I am sure they just wanted to go home, but they took the time to let him sit in the left seat, gave him some stickers and explained some things to him while I took photos. They somehow could tell that I fly (I didn't say much of anything, but maybe it was just because I wasn't ooh'ing and ahh'ing?), but they made me feel welcome too. My son didn't say much at the time, but he was thrilled afterwards. I hope it leaves a lasting impression on him.
