Upon boarding today in ET, without even looking at our boarding passes, it was "Welcome back Mr Jed, let me take those off you to get them signed (children's' logbooks), row 7 today?". I've only ever had that kind of welcome before on SQ, where we spent half the flight wondering how they do that.
I agree BOB has made subsequent interactions few and far between in ET, which is how the rest of the flight went. But we were chuffed that TS paid off and the A, C, D strategy worked, with the B and E seats blocked.
Upon exit, again addressed by name, plus invitation for the boys to go up to the flight deck.
Great CSM.
I must say the last few European flights we have taken in CE /ET have been extremely impressive.
