Could anyone pass on a message to a fellow passenger?

Must admit that I'm quite surprised at the level of polarised opinion that this thread has exposed. Perhaps we just have to agree to disagree here and move on. Not sure there's much more to be gained here...

No! You're wrong!

Yes, time to move on. Not nice when a tread degenerates into personal attacks. A good example for keeping one's opinions to oneself perhaps

I'm amazed how sure you are that there is a breach of the Data Protection Act with what VS have done for me. They CAN email the passenger asking her whether or not she wants my message sent onto her. If she says yes then the message will be sent. Simple.

I've held back from sending this post a number of times, but can't anymore...

I've not thought that your attempt to contact the named passenger was creepy or stalkerish.

However, after the continual repeated posts with you being so displeased about some nice peoples advice about the law governing Virgin Atlantic, and how likely they are to do what you want, has made me think now, that you are quite creepy and stalkerish...

The word 'troll' has been in my mind since day one

A first time Poster, joined on 4th July ( should have waited until April 1st )

Has receives 92 replies and received over 6100 views. Wow that's a good way to get attention v(

Have to agree a total creep and this post has been very uncomfortable :$ :$

Do you really think I expected to have 92 replies and that many views?

I really cant see where this has all come from. All I have done is keep you guys updated with everything and now I am getting appalling responses. If your not interested in the topic then don't read it. SIMPLE.

By the way I was not trying to show anyone that I was displeased with some peoples advise and how could I have, when actually I am very pleased that what some of you have said obviously isn't right, because if it was then my message wouldn't be passed on, which it is.

The reason I didn't take someones advise to put all of this on the Virgin Facebook page was because I feel that is quite creapy. If all I was intereted in was attention, don't you think I would have done it?

The reason I posted on here as my FIRST POST, on the 4th July was because this is a VIRGIN ATLANTIC forum, and guess what, I travelled on VIRGIN ATLANTIC. go figure. I then posted on the DIBB because I got some good advise to do so. NOT because I wanted attention like you suggest.

By the way, do you really think I need to post on a forum to get attention. If you knew me then you would know that isn't the case.

I appreciate all opinions on this thread but NOT when it gets personal.

I am sad that you think I am creapy, how would you like it if I suggested you was for no good reason.

I apologise if I have offended anyone, Lets see if I get any apology for some very unprovoked criticism.

I think the moral to this story is that if your chatting away to someone you fancy then maybe try the age old line - Can I buy you a drink sometime (then just ring the bell )... to the point and a nice easy comical twist with no need to actually purchase said drink

Saves alot of posting and upsetting people with DPA rubbish Plus you get the girl/guy of course!

"A troll?? Perhaps, perhaps not. What good has it done the OP??

All i've told you is what VS told me. That is they CAN pass on a message to the passenger for me, if she gives permission. Which they have asked her for. Is that really that bad?

You might think I was disregarding peoples advise, but in fact all I was doing was telling you what VS have told me.

Right this thread is starting to get far to personal. Please remember that personal attacks of any kind are not allowed on this forum. If I had the time right now I would edit/remove a number of posts which have clearly broken this rule, so if any of the posters that have posted in this manner read this before I get chance later, please edit your post to remove them.

Whether you agree with what the OP is doing, or the manner they are doing it in, it does not give you the right to make accusations against their character (and to the OP, please do not retaliate either).

The mods are happy for this thread to continue, and the OP is more than welcome to keep it updated, but if you happen not to agree, there is no obligation for you to post if all you want to do is make personal attacks.

Oh 747 Dude please let us know the outcome, if you don't want to post on here then please pm me n let me know. Fingers X'd for you

that sounds very sensible y)

[preiffer]

I would post my opinion on here, as a result of the latest spate of accusations towards an OP who nobody knows - but "the DPA doesn't allow me".

Sorry, but FFS - I deal with the DPA for large organisations every single week. The statements that SOME on this thread are making regarding the application of such in this case, while legally (possibly) applicable, are nothing short of ridiculous.


I dare say there's probably a clause buried deep in the DPA preventing guys from asking girls their phone number in a nightclub too. Enjoy life, if that's what you believe will "protect" you from the nasty evils of 100% of humankind. Personally, I'm happy to leave you types to it and ENJOY mine...

That, IMHO, was a bit harsh!!!

Unbelievable the lady can simply be flattered or repulsed and simply say No. She is hardly going to be scarred for life and hey she might even want to recieve the message.

That the problem with the Uk red tape at every turn. Once again good luck dude!

Totally agree, hence the reason I have edited my post

Well I opened up this thread today because I haven't read it for a few days and saw lots of replies, I had my fingers crossed that contact had been made and all us V-Flyers would be going out to buy 'hats'

What a shock to see such an argument going on. I had never even considered that there may be anything more than a genuine passenger trying to get in contact with a fellow traveller

I wish you lots of luck in your search and hope it all turns out 'luverley' for you both

Hi guys

Just to let you know what the outcome to all of this was, I thought I would post.

After all my efforts I never did receive a reply from the Lady. I respect her choice not to, but I have to admit I am a bit gutted. Especially after the lengths I went through.

It's quite embarrasing to have got the picture so wrong, however I really did feel as though we could have met once again in the future. As some of you said it's either meant to be or not. I think this one is NOT meant to be (SADLY).

I will always have the doubt of ''Did Virgin actually pass the message on, as they told me they did? However I have to take their word for it and move on.

All that's left to say is THANKS ALOT for all of your positive support thoughout this thread and I wish you all the best for the future.

Cheerio

747 dude

Ah mate sorry you didn't get the reply you wanted - it's little consolation but you did try which in itself it amazing.

I was crossing my fingers for you. So sad that you haven't heard back, but I'm a hopeless romantic and would still keep my fingers crossed.

Yes me too, always hope for happy endings but to achieve this both parties need to be focused on the same goal. In this case perhaps the lady in question was just being polite and friendly during the flight time but the guy in question misinterpreted this, reading more into the situation.

Time to move and concentrate on the positives in life, those Olympic gold medals

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It was worth a shot!

Keep flying VS and maybe you'll meet her again - or someone more receptive.

as at240 says you gave it a go. and far better to have tried and failed than not tried at all. good for you, if you hadnt you would always wondered 'what if' .at least now you know.

AND next time...ask for her no, the worst she can say is no

Hello everyone, this is Peter from blewmychance.com ...

Have a look at the bottom of this site, we are are delighted to be able to advertise on v-flyer.com to help people find love in the air ... )

Happy flying ...
