Brad, of PopSlingers Paradise, posted about this club and I just had to myself.
The “Flight Attendant Appreciation Club,” or FAAC, was founded by a man named Craig. Flying from San Francisco to London in Business Class on a lightly booked flight, the passengers and crew were joking around. One passenger made the comment that “each passenger could have their own flight attendant” since there were more of them than passengers. The crew heard the comment and decided to play along, and each one attended to one or two passengers.

Craig happened to be traveling with a box of See’s Candies and gave one to the crew as a “thank you” for the service and being good sports. Craig then saw that the box of candy excited the crew, and realized that flight attendants are rarely thanked for the job they do.

Then, FAAC was born.

Craig has created a website detailing the purpose of FAAC, how to become an official member, a guest book for flight crews who were given chocolates to sign, as well as a photo section for members to upload photos with/of their crews.

This movement is unlike anything I’ve seen. I am overjoyed to see that someone realizes that being a flight attendant is, most of the time, a thankless job that goes overlooked.

Thanks Craig. I hope to have you on board one of my flights soon, so I can thank you in person for bringing light to our jobs.
