Okay, people let me make this easy for you to follow.... So, that you see that the Pilots and the Flight Attendants are busy working and NOT tweeting,,,

1.) Passenger in 3B tweets (thanks to wifi inflight) that they were skipped AND did not get a meal.
2.) Someone in Marketing (on the ground) at Virgin is a follower of this tweeter, see's the tweet.
3.) Marketing Rep then contacts the company. The company (Virgin) then sends a message to the cockpit (pilots) over the system that the aircraft normally gets info from the ground to the cockpit. Can be some type of computer readout system, with a printer or they could use a simpler system such as sending a radio message.
4.) The pilots see or hear the message that is sent to them, they in turn contact the flight attendants working in the section of the plane that 3B is seated in.
5.) Amazing... the Passenger who tweeted that is seated in 3B NOW gets a meal. THINKING.... It would have been so much FASTER to JUST to hit the call light...

Okay... hopefully now you'll see the Pilots and the Flight Attendants are NOT tweeting... Just the passengers!
