This happened to me when I was a FA...
Right before I was gonna close the door a pax hit the call button. I walk over, and ask," what can I help you with?" The pax tells me that he forgot to touch the outside of the plane, and he always touches the outside of the plane. I tell him to wait a moment, as the crew up front was waving the paperwork out the flight deck. I walk up and tell the CA..."Hey, there is this guy who says he forgot to touch the outside of the plane, and he always touches the outside of the plane, and he would like to do so now before we leave."
They both look at each other, and the CA looks back at me and says. "By all means, if this guy needs to touch the outside of the plane then let him get up, and touch it...but to make it fast."
Would you as a CA or FO let him get up and touch the outside of the plane ?
When I was a FA I would see people tap, knock, rub, and even cross them selfs before stepping onto the plane. But that was the first time someone told me they forgot to touch the plane...
