Cabin Class?

"Frank Ch. Eigler" wrote

Perhaps the main operational difference is whether or not the cabin is
pressurized.

The one that makes the most sense to me, is the one about everyone entering
though the same door, and going forward between the seats, to get to the
pilot's seats.

So a 747 is not cabin class?

OK, I'll bite. How does one get to the pilot seats in a 747?

Years and years of training and experience.

Starting from the ground, you climb two flights of access steps to reach the
main deck door. Once inside the craft, you climb a third flight to reach
the upper deck, turn right (usually), pass the galley, heads, emergency
egress door, and enter the flight deck. Variations on the theme if you're
flying the freighter version, but the structure's about the same. I think
it probably qualifies as cabin-class.

If you enter like the passengers, from the jetway, how do you get there?

Even this aside, a little common sense says that a 747 is cabin class,
without having to look at other definitions? g

Up one flight. The cockpit is accessed only from the upper deck.

Just like the upper deck passengers, huh?

Yep, the 747 IS a cabin class, then! g

Through a choice of several doors. Everyone does not enter the same
door unless the airport is very, very old and unable to handle multiple
doors.

The pilot does not have a door that goes directly to the cockpit, does it?

I'm starting to think that everyone here has lost every semblance of common
sense! g

Perhaps the "able to walk around " definition may work better.

Anyone got an exception to that one? ;-o)
