I still keep up with some of them nearly 7 years later. I got to a first name basis with all of our regular OAL jumpseaters and took good care of them.
I've been at one of the big three legacy carriers now for the last 6.5 years in the same capacity. Gotten to know folks at FBOs, etc. It's a slow process but worth the effort.
I agree with your plan, would likely work well. Good luck!
