Want to ask the captain to get a jump seat in a 747 bound to USA?  Well, you are out of luck afer 911.  How about the captain is your freind?  Still a NO.    But he can take some pictures during the flight and let you in after the plane is landed.  Too bad in these days.  But having pictures is better than nothing.
