+1 especially with CX being strict when it comes to these things and I don't know anyone including myself who would want to break that rule. Exceptions for the jumpseat other than crew are parents and spouse of the crew. And yes we are allowed to show you the flight deck on the ground but we can always say no in certain circumstances ex: quick turnaround.
