Looking for passengers on past BA flight

Hello everyone,
not sure where to post this. I work at the airport however my colleaugues were not able to help me thus far. I was able to hunt for a departure list for a BA flight in Nov 2014. There is a group of 8 people I would like to get contact info. At the moment I have their last names, first initial, destination and luggage tag numbers. Someone told me I need their reseveration number to see if the info is still in the sysytem.
Anyone can help? Looking for a certain guy here...
Thanks!

Passenger data is private and highly confidential.

You work at 'the' airport? Nice! I was laboring under the mistaken impression that there are something like thousands of 'em!

If you're brave, consider crowd-sourcing your search: post all that information on a social media site like Twitter, Facebook, etc, then sit back and wait...

this is oddly the second request for divulging personal info in the past few days, and equally inappropriate.

You may have violated BA rules already by obtaining the info you have and depending where you live, also privacy laws.

Does anyone else besides me find these types of requests a bit creepy?

Not only creepy as the above poster said but completely inappropriate (and perhaps illegal?) to use workplace computer access to search for confidential passenger lists. I would be very upset if I were contacted by someone who 'worked at the airport' and used that to find my reservation information and then hunted me down. Yikes!

OP may already have violated workplace if not statutory regulations. The request is akin to data hacking.

Since this query is off-topic and non-contributive to this forum's purpose (see Rule #13), and conflicts with the intent (if not the explicitly stated guidance) of FlyerTalk's privacy rule, which requires us to respect the privacy of other members and non-members, this discussion is now closed.
