A couple of weeks ago, I flew from CLT-ORD on flight 110 (A321 service). I've flown with the flight attendant working the F cabin several times, and she's awesome.

Pre-flight, she introduced herself to the entire F cabin, told everyone that she would do her best to provide excellent service, don't hesitate to call on her for anything, etc. and gave everyone a very warm welcome on board - a really nice touch in my opinion.

After boarding was completed and the door was closed, we sat at the gate for about 15 minutes. During this time, the flight attendants were all in the forward galley talking about something. I thought they were just talking about a delay, or whatever. But I overheard the F FA say something like, "with everything I have to think about, I shouldn't have to deal with this, too."

Then, before pushback, she addressed the F cabin again telling us that one of the Y FA's would be taking care of us for the flight. She gathered her things, and went back to Y visibly upset.

About an hour into the flight, she came back into the F cabin to get coffee or something for a Y passenger. I stopped her, and asked if she was ok. She said that she was fine, but one of the pilots was a little too friendly with her...with his hands.

Before I knew what had happened, I had sent an email to US commending her on her professionalism and courteousness to all of the passengers. I briefly explained the situation, but with the caveat that I didn't really know what happened, or what upset her. I wasn't sure if another passenger said something rude, or what. There was a DYKWIA a couple of rows in front of me that made her take 2 different (PDB) glasses of wine back that she didn't like, so I thought she may have been the culprit.

Anyway, the question I have for you - after this long story - is whether or not anyone thinks I should send a follow up to US about this. I know that people react differently to certain situations; i.e. one person may think an arm around the shoulder is fine, while another may find it creepy coming from a co-worker.

I would hope that if she felt strongly enough that the pilot's behavior was inappropriate, that she would report him to HR. My goal certainly isn't to get anyone in trouble, but if that pilot thinks it's ok to go around groping people, that's kind of jacked up, and I guess he should be in trouble.

Thoughts?
