LOL,

Well if you want to join me in Winnipeg then I'd be delighted to meet your acquaintance. :eek: I'll even buy you a warming marshmallow filled hot chocolate to thaw you out.

OK - people - get back to the topic which is an unsolicited e-mail from a FA - NOT politics. Political discussions are not allowed in FT forums other than over in OMNI. Thanks.

throwing my weight around *again*
 
Over the past weekend I had occasion to relate the OPs story to TWO airline managers. Unanimously they exploded with "He'd be fired on the spot, no ifs ands or buts, for an infraction of company policy re:confidentialty issues."
If you'll recall, I didn't suggest the OP should contact UA with identification of the FA who e-mailed him.
If you'll recall I urged the OP to make it clear to UA that confidentiality had been breached on a recent domestic flight and that the OP would not participate in any further such until confidentialty could be guaranteed.
I call that "kicking in the right direction"--everyone benefits.
And maybe UA makes it $#%& clear to employees that they have a particular obligation with regard to manifests and surveys, etc., that reveal pax ID info.

That is a sensible approach. Have we all beaten this horse to a satisfying death now?

I think I saw his tail twitch, perhaps not just yet. :D

So joining in late...

Yeah, so he got the info in not the best way, violating company policy and could/should get fired for it....but then heck it's life, and well sometimes you gotta take some chances at times....if I were to pass judgement, I'd wonder why he wasn't more forthcoming with his contact info during the flight....but that might be again company policy (do't know if they prohibit hitting on passenders)....well, if no harm is done, then really no harm is done....

People meet in the stranges ways...my current bf i met on Bourbon Street, at the Pub's balcony during a Foam party....I met a divorce laywer that is currently married to her ex-client....bosses dating thier underlings....

If things worked out....when your on your 50th anniversary, it'd be really a cute story huh??

Lifes short....

innocent emails like that usually show up on the script of yet another romantic comedy. Can you really blame anyone for hoping that your innocent chit-chat was to be the beginning of something wonderful?

I can't believe I just said that. The cynic in me just fainted.

I think reporting it is going a bit to far unless he harrases you. I mean all he did wrong was to like you!

GoldFlyer Aug 20, 2005 6:04 am

Yup,

That horse still needs flogging :D .

Being the GLBT forum would anyone know of a tranquiliser for horses? This one sure needs some distractions while we beat it to death. :D
