to ask the FA to ask the pilot for channel 9 (if I forgot to ask the pilot myself or arrived too late and the cockpit door was already closed)
I've often wondered about Channel 9... seems it only works on about 20% of the flights I take. Do you actually have to affirmatively ask the cockpit to enable it? I thought it was programmed in like all the music channels, and some flights had it but most didn't. I didn't realize they could turn it on and off.
