Thanksgiving Special
Attached is a note handed to me by a waitress at Swiss Chalet, Terminal 3, YYZ, on Thanksgiving. I had 3 hours between flights and was having the solo 'Thanksgiving Special'. The Gentleman who wrote the note was sitting at the table behind me, solo as well. I only saw him as I sat down. I didn't see him leave. At the end of my meal I recieved the note and was told that he had paid for my supper.
Being on the road and away from family on Thanksgiving, I was touched by the gesture and felt I should share this with others.
Thanks Mark
I won't forget it

So...there is hope for pilots after all! This Mark guy is a testament to the profession!
Re: Thanksgiving Special
Here's a suggestion .. pay it forward. It only takes one to get the ball rolling.
Cheers!

Re: Thanksgiving Special
This just proves that there are a lot more guys like Mark (and Bill who posted this note) in our industry then we think!
Way to go!!

Re: Thanksgiving Special
Great gesture! How often we forget that we all sit on the same side of the flightdeck door!
Re: Thanksgiving Special
Damn, I'm speechless. Nice work Mark, very classy indeed.
The feet you step on today might be attached to the ass you're kissing tomorrow.

Re: Thanksgiving Special
We should keep this thread going and/or possibly make it a sticky. I know I personally try and buy the guys up front a Timmy's muffin or donut whenever I'm jump seating and have some time to spare.
I want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers...

Re: Thanksgiving Special
Classy gesture mark.
I'm surprised at how many jumpseaters don't bother poking their head and saying thanks on their way out. There's an etiquette, and I wish more pilots followed it.

When I retire, I’ll miss the clowns, not the circus.
Re: Thanksgiving Special
Mark,
That was absolutely Class A+++ in my books! Well done. I too commute on WJ on a semi-regular basis out west to YVR. If possible, I always ask to be seated at back so I am last off the plane and express my thanks to the crew for giving me a ride. I try to help with the seat belts as often as possible.
As professional pilots, we have to protect our own, no matter what color we wear or represent. WJ pilots are always welcome on my flights.
Cheers

Re: Thanksgiving Special
First of all I'm curious to see what Aviator2010, I mean The Big Mac said, but anyway...
What a classy move to do! Things like that really give me hope for the world... and it's such a simple gesture, yet it goes so far in todays world!
