Too true. In my youth (many moons ago), when my family and I were flying across the Atlantic, I asked the stewardess (now they are Flight Attendants) if I could "see the cockpit". She went forward, checked, and escorted me into the cockpit, where "the captain" pinned a pair of wings on me. No really - it really did happen - just like that. I can still remember it vividly.
Can anyone imagine this happenning today? Alas and woe to the passing of more innocent times!
You can't even purchase an airline ticket without a photo ID!
