Cruising the first officer

[gallahadesquire]

I just got off a flight from Orlando to Boston, and played "catch-eye" with the first officer several times. He Even winked at me as I was about to get off the plane.

 

Of course, never being fore-thinking, I was in able to pass any sort of name or phone number although he knew which seat I was in. I got his first name, but I couldn't read his last name on his badge.

 

Does anyone have any idea how I can track this dude down? I had randomly commented to a friend of mine that I had a feeling I was going to meet my future husband on this flight, and I have a feeling I may just have missed the opportunity dammit

[Irtwo]

Very hot, especially the wink! Hope you track him down.

The last time I was cruised by an officer it was because I had forgotten to put my new license plate stickers on. They were in my glovebox. I had been waiting to scrape of the old stickers first and then just forgotten they were there. He did put the new stickers on for me. But that is just about as much interaction as I've ever had from a man in uniform-sigh.

did he called you a bad boy and try to "punish" you?

 

Sounds like the start of a Falcon movie.

[tyro]

Gallahad, that sounds like the stuff of legend! FIND HIM!

I wish I had some pointers on how to do that...

'you could call the airline and say that you would like to write a letter commending the first officer from the flight for the special attention he gave to your needs. You could say his name was "Bob" but that you would like to include he full name in the letter. Could they offer that information.

Failing that, you could actually write such a letter and leave it open to thanking him in person should you ever be in the same city.

I believe there is also a site called missed connections or some such, which allows you to place a contact method and the story of how the contact was missed. You then wait for them to contact you.

I think PK's idea is a good one, but I wonder if they'd be afraid to give out the info in case the caller is a stalker. (Of course, if the caller were a stalker, you'd think he would have just noted down the last name in the first place!)

 

Flyertalk would be a good place to ask. I'm sure its common for guys to try to get flight attendants' names.

 

I know it's been a tough few months for you, Gallahad, and I hope this works out!

His name is Stan (I think) and he's part of a New York Based Flight Crew. I could barely read his name tag and his last name was lost in the reflection.

Was this a Delta flight? I know Delta has an email address that you can use for customer feedback. Write a thank you note to them with a comment on the exceptional level of service of First Officer Stan on flight n # XYZ Orlando-Boston of Feb Y. Include your full name and phone number in the email. 'Stan' will very likely receive a copy of your thank you note. He may possibly be in touch with you after that, if he is really interested. Good luck!

 

Next time this happens, give him your card.

I've always thought that these "ships in the night" experiences should be enjoyed for what they were and forgotten.

Yes, this is what I was thinking of also So the whether the person referred to in the note actually get the full text, not just a generic message telling him he's received positive feedback?

Ditto. I've had it happen too often that if I didn't respond "on the spot", the other party was no longer receptive after.

 

Write your note, and if no reply, leave it lie.

 

(Hey, I made a rhyme! )
