Once every so often a young person(s) will squeeze into the flight deck during pre-boarding for a peek. Most of them will gaze with a fixed stare others you can see their eyes rolling all around and you realize that they are overwhelmed by the myriad of switches and dials and not really absorbing anything. Like a deer in headlights they can’t focus at all but I know it makes the trip more memorable for them to at least to have stepped into another world for a moment. I try to break their unease by exchanging a few simple pleasantries (although the standing warped humor/joke is — with my best Captn. Over voice — “So Johnny, have you ever been in a Turkish Sauna before?”). Never mind.
