Cabin Class?

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

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)

So a "P" Navajo would be "Cabin Class" but a Chieftain wouldn't be?

I never heard that stand-up headroom was a requirment to be termed cabin
class. [...]

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

That eliminates a large number of biz jets.

Chieftain is basically a pressurize Navaho.

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

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

No, not for access. There are, however, two specific emergency egress
points directly from the cockpit.

I never knew that Chieftains were pressurized.

Just like the upper deck passengers, huh?

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

That is interesting. Where are they, and how do they work?

There is no official definition of "cabin class". It's purely a marketing
term, and as such, can mean whatever the marketing folks require it to mean
at any particular moment.
