....whilst boarding passengers in Adelaide (B737 Capt, so good view of everyone in the aerobridge) I saw a kid, who looked like he would be the sort to be picked on at school....sort of nerdy, 9 years old, square glasses....got the idea....he was travelling with his family to Syd......I spun around and asked cabin crew to grab the kid when he comes thru and well let him have a look....well, his eyes were like saucers...his old man and mum popped in as well....
...message came thru during the flight, that the old man wanted to see us as they disembarked....which they did....they got our addresses...and luckily enough they owned a winery in the Barossa, and so, just like clockwork, every month a carton of quality red turns up on the doorstep...
.....moral......be nice, share the experience, have fun, and you will be unexpectedly rewarded......
...no matter how pissed off we get with management, or the system, or whatever, there are squillions of people who would kill to do what we do...and we get paid rediculously do to it...
...just have fun.......
