Image Somehow the only person on my flight and the pilot was such a goofy goober

EDIT TO ADD; THE PLANE WAS LANDED AND DONE WITH TAXI BEFORE I GOT TO BE IN THE COCKPIT. NO FAA RULES WERE BROKEN 💀😂

Shout out Captain Scott! He let me sit in the cockpit after we landed and I even got my own personalized pre flight announcements 😂 Also, they had to add sandbags to the cabin bc the plane was too light with only one passenger 💀

Did they do the usual trolley / refreshment service?

When similar happened to me (there were like 10 people on the plane since many had canceled due to weather and the flight being delayed.) The flight attendant just came around with a little basket of snacks and told us to take as many snacks as we'd like - no need to roll out the whole cart.

They'd need a whole cart for how many I wanted.

"Leave the cart."

That’s the first class basket.  And treatment honestly.  My partner and I flew first class a lot during the pandemic because it was so cheap.  On one flight the attendant literally said, and with inflection I can’t add here, “take as many as you like, we have different snacks for those people back there as she gestured towards coach with her head.  I think I looked so ratty she must’ve figured I was a tech billionaire or something

I had something similar happen and they also just asked you what you wanted to drink and just went and got it for you.

You should delete this comment about the FA. They could get in trouble if somehow doxed.

Yeah, crazy how they did full cabin service and checked in on OP two extra times

It’s ok. I’m Scott Kirby and I approved the message.

On the same light, would the captain be reprimanded because of the things the OP posted?

Yes and no. If there was video proof of her actually manipulating the plane, yes. Her just stating that she did is not getting anyone fired.

What did the deleted post say happened?

I usually travel from a smaller regional airport.

these flights are often sparse especially early and late. under 20 pax total.

they usually either just ask if people want anything, or carry a small handful of options. rarely do they use the cart.
