Romance at 30,000 Feet

I was on a United flight from Montreal to Chicago today.  When the flight attendant came around to offer drinks, he informed the woman sitting next to me that the pilot wanted to buy her a glass of wine.  At first, she was a little confused, but she graciously accepted.  The flight attendant came back 5 minutes later with a napkin and a pen and said the pilot wanted her to write down her phone number.  She responded by saying that she had Canadian phone service and would have her cell phone turned off for the week she was going to be in the US.  Five minutes later the flight attendant came back yet again and said the pilot wanted to meet her for a drink in the airport bar when we landed.  The lady said she had another flight to catch and didn't have time.

I think it's kind of weird and unprofessional for a pilot to be flirting with a passenger.  Also, I feel bad for the flight attendant who had to serve as the pilot's messenger boy.  I wonder if the pilot has successfully met girls this way.  Maybe he has a girlfriend in every city?
