I don't remember filet mignon, they'd let you up into the cockpit to meet the pilot, and they'd give you these cool wings you could pin on your shirt, and they'd give you a free deck of united playing cards if you asked for them.



You can still go and visit the flight deck if the plane is still boarding at the gate, just ask a flight attendant.

Most pilots leave the flight deck door open until the boarding doors close and they're quite happy to receive visitors.


Sometimes I'll take advantage of that and chat with a them for a few moments. Then I leave them alone because they've got more important things to do than idle chitchat with an engineer.
