Mid-flight note war: ‘Bachelor’ producer takes on the woman in seat 7A

A producer from 'The Bachelor' and the woman in seat 7A have an in-flight note war.

The TV producer of the Bachelor engaged in a Thanksgiving battle of pens and glowers with a woman on his flight to Los Angeles who was impatient about delays.

Elan Gale, producer of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, was one of many people flying home for Thanksgiving on Thursday. Among his fellow travellers on a US Airways flight would emerge an enemy sitting nearby, a Diane, in seat 7A. She may have been in her late fifties or early forties, by Gale's judgement, and she was wearing jeans and a medical mask.

He overheard her complaining to the airline staff about a delay to the flight. And then he began to tweet everything.

Once the flight took off, Gale decided to prod the angry woman with whom he was trapped on a flight from New York to L.A., because she was still complaining, according to his tweets.

Gale tweeted that a flight attendant who was shaking his head about the budding mid-air fiasco gave him two miniature bottles of vodka, but refused to deliver them to Diane. So Gale did it himself.

Before long, Diane responded to Gale's note with a line of tersely written cursive. Target engaged.

But the fun wasn't over yet, as these two pals wrote another note apiece, exchanging good wishes and thanks on this joyous holiday. Ahem. Then Elan wrote another, even ruder note, which he thought might be his last. It wasn't the last word.

And so, with a slap and one last note directing the woman to find him online, this lengthy tale of a Thanksgiving voyage comes to an end. Except for the blog post Elan Gale posted to his website afterward, criticizing Diane for being unfair to service employees who have families too.
