That's genius, being invited into the cockpit felt extremely cool even as a grown adult, so I will absolutely get this started next time we get a flight

I thought that after 9/11 passengers were not allowed to visit the cockopit any more
They are not allowed in there during the flight. When the plane is turned off and parked at the gate, the rules are a bit more relaxed.
perhaps, but my 10yo son was invited to land in the cockpit earlier this year. he loved it and will never forget it.

(domestic flight, Europe)

Yeah always at the gate upon landing - sigh, I’d love to jump seat to satisfy my curiosity
