Can You Bring Personal Items to the Cockpit?
Unlike a 9-5 job, pilots don’t have the same office every day. While this has its perks, there are also negatives. They can never make the space their “own” so to say as they fly different airplanes and have different co-workers every day. So, no family pictures, motivational quotes, desk plants, or your favorite mugs allowed.
Some pilots do bring in pillows, caps, or other small personal items but that’s all. In fact, in most cases, they can’t even bring their personal headsets if they’re flying a commercial plane. We guess those stunning views from the cockpit more than make up for it though.
