Contact with BA 747 pilots

Hi folks...this is my first thread, hope its in the right place etc.
I am an aviation artist and I need to get in touch with one or two BA 747 pilots. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've already been flatly ignored by the company so thought I'd try here...thanks.

"I am an aviation artist and I need to get in touch with one or two BA Jumbo pilots" Why on earth do you want to draw/paint 747 pilots?

Perhaps a little more explanation of your reason for this request might tempt a "Nigel" to reply. Lord knows there are enough of them around !. Best of luck.

Indeed - if the request to BA was as detailed then it's no surprise it was ignored. If anybody called up anybody and asked for contact details for staff without reasonable explanation it would / should be ignored.

how dismissive

For load toad clown....you don't even know what I have attempted to do re contact with BA. I sent them prints of my work along with a fully detailed letter explaining my aim.
What gives you the right to make a phoney assumption without knowing the facts?
Thanks Mr Mac...at least some people on here have a bit of common sense/balance.

I suggest you make up some posters adevertising your artwork, send them to BA with a polite request to have the posters put up on crewroom noticeboards. There is no way that BA is going to release pilots' contact details to someone who is cold calling trying to sell stuff, no matter how good your prints are. I'm not in surprised you were ignored previously.

I'll rise.

If you want help the onus is on YOU to explain why you want it. To explain why you need help & what so far you've done for yourself.

Maybe BA checked out your artwork.....

As I did.

Just as thought.
