THE 5 FLT ATTENDANTS HELD OPEN THE COCKPIT DOOR TO SING 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' TO THE CAPT AS THEY GIFTED HIM WITH A DISH OF ICE CREAM.

Narrative

THIS MAY RANK AS ONE OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL OCCURRENCES FOR A NASA RPT. IT IS AN UNFORTUNATE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE OPERATE IN (REF UNREASONABLE FAA VIOLATIONS) THAT CAUSES ME TO FILE THIS RPT. THE COPLT MUST HAVE CONVERSATIONALLY MENTIONED TO OUR FLT ATTENDANTS THAT IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY. NEAR THE END OF OUR BOS-SFO FLT; THE FLT ATTENDANTS BROUGHT UP TO THE COCKPIT A BIRTHDAY DISH OF ICE CREAM FOR ME AND ALSO SANG 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY.' A VERY NICE GESTURE; WITH A SMALL PROB -- 5 OF THE FLT ATTENDANTS TRIED TO FIT IN THE COCKPIT BUT COULD NOT; AND STILL HAVE THE COCKPIT DOOR COMPLETELY CLOSED. SO WHILE THE GESTURE WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY ME; I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT THE COCKPIT DOOR SLIGHTLY OPENED WHILE THE 5 FLT ATTENDANTS WERE SINGING 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY;' AND ONLY 1 FLT ATTENDANT IN THE CABIN. I DON'T WANT TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A 'GRINCH;' BUT FROM SOME OF THE STORIES I'VE HEARD THROUGH THE YRS; THIS RPT COULD POSSIBLY JUST BE IMPORTANT TO ME. SORRY FOR FEELING I HAD TO TAKE UP YOUR TIME WITH THIS INCIDENT.
