Should a Pilot Get an Applause After a Flight?
This isn’t required. Bus drivers, air pilots, and other professionals are doing their tasks. Don’t feel the need to tell them they’re doing a wonderful job; they already know. So don’t start clapping after an airline journey. It’s not necessary.
Of course, there are times when the crowd cheers, and pilots are delighted to hear it. Some even come around to wave goodbye to the passengers as they depart. This is a good thing to inquire about before meeting the pilots to avoid an uncomfortable situation. Some may get the opportunity to meet the pilots and thank them personally for their service.
