Is there a secret AFF handshake?

[petercr]

I normally try to do a run around 1st and have a chat to everyone, and then walk through both business and economy. It varies with the flight and time of day though. So, I'll always go for a wander on the MEL-DXB, DXB-MEL sectors, as there is plenty of time, and a 'heavy' crew. On the London legs, it's the middle of the night, and it's only two man crew, so I basically stay in the office.

Is there an AFF secret handshake ???

Not that I'm likely to be flying to DXB or LHR any time soon unless the Lotto numbers come up...

I think there were AFF luggage tags for that at one time.

But that would mean JB would have to check out the luggage... I was thinking maybe something like the special goat-skin apron or for those in the pointy end the special AFF jammies...

Luggage? You mean that stuff that I can offload to get more fuel on....

Send a business card up. The cabin crew will often get the message to me, (but probably just as often forget), but cards seem to make the journey pretty reliably.

Just wear it around your neck, consider yourself an abstract form of luggage.

Can't imagine what my business card would look like if I were to get one right now.

Attach your FF & rewards cards to a lanyard complete with the AFF luggage tag!

I don't have an offical Place of Employment lanyard - I use one from my 2011 Europe trip that says I Am Amsterdam. What I like to call my train driver's licence & my work ID haven't been converted to the new name yet.

To swing this back on topic somewhat, is there a licence type card with all a pilot's type ratings that they may need to show to a regulator type person on demand that is the same for any type of pilot?

The answer to your questions is No. Wink!

Re: Ask The Pilot

If you need a handshake to identify you then clearly the answer to DYKWIA is no!

Just be careful if you casually mention to someone that you belong to AFF or think you know them from AFF as there is a well known 'dating'* website which shares the same initials...

Who would have thought Fencing would get you into so much trouble?????

(mind you, reading the glossary of fencing, I could see no end of double entendre there...)
