Hi Snapper1,
Sorry for the misinterpretation of your post.
You didn't actually ask the pilot to make contact, or ask if anyone know them, or indeed ask anything other than make a public apology for a minor matter to someone you'd little reason to think would see it.
That's why I thought you were trying to be sarcastic, as there didn't seem to be any other reason for your post.
I'm glad that I was wrong, and hope no offence was taken
