What a great positive thread for a change.
Yes we are limited in what we can do these days but this is an initiative that is so much appreciated by the kids and their parents.
A lot of people don't have a camera with them so I have on many occasions taken photos on my camera and emailed them to the people. It is very gratifying to get some of the replies and realise just how much impact such a simple gesture has had on a child and their family.
Like everyone else, I really miss the "good old days" when we could have people up front in flight. I reckon I have cured some people who were previously "scared of flying" by having them up front for a chat in flight and explaining a few things to them. (Some of them having seen me were probably even MORE scared!!!)
