How many times have you thought the name sounded familier but you couldn't quite put a face with the name? If you knew who it was it might make the difference on whether you would send the family a card, money, visit the hospital or go to the memorial service. I have written and asked our management at least 6 times to allow an option on the secure side of VIPS for our crew ID photos to be shown. For the privacy freaks they could opt out just like their calendars or phone numbers. We have the digital photo database and it would probably take a programmer less than a day to implement. If you agree with me I would ask that you submit a request to your ACP to allow aircrew photos to be shown in VIPS. Maybe a large number of requests will get some action. An additional benefit would be the ability to view who you are flying with on future trips.
