Absolutely! We'd be more than happy to ask them how their flight was, and even thank them, but that would require a little effort on their part as well
That's all we ask! From one Professional Pilot to another!
I said I would try it on this trip so I did. Worse trip from start to finish in a VERY long time btw - and I'm including the 3 hr delay in the grapevine to go 3 miles that made me miss my scheduled flight.
Ended up on SWA. Never got a chance to even see a pilot's face in the cockpit; then after the final leg out in the terminal I caught up with the FO. I thanked him for the flight.
Btw - for all of those customer service questions about -121 and fractionals......I saw a pilot helping a lady in a wheelchair down the jetway.
