Galley Gossip: Why ring the flight attendant call light when you can send a tweet - and get results!

Fascinating wee story about you and Johnny Jet, Heather. I've been tweeting for a long time, and have rarely found anything so personal comes out of it. Like you, I have a lot of followers (well, I'm only 600+), and I follow about 300.

My question is this: with so much useless and mindless yammer tweeting by, how on earth do you spot something from J. Jet unless he sent it as a direct message?

I've largely given up on following the main stream of Twitter, and just don't "get it." Nonetheless, I keep tweeting.

Cheers.

As far as mindless yammering going on, perhaps you're not following the right people? I follow all aviation employees, travel writers, inspirational writers, and people who just put a smile on my face. Johnny Jet did not send me a direct message. I just got lucky when I logged on and saw him tweeting from the airplane, and even luckier that he happened to flying on the airline I work for, on a flight that I usually work with a crew that I actually knew! I couldn't believe it myself.
