I do reply "I am in the right line, being a platinum. Are you asking everyone?" The person usually turns away a little embarrassed.

And I'm not naive to think it is due to me being female. It is due to me being a younger female. I see a lot of the same women on my flights. Just not anyone my age.
Stephaz, they do love to push past us younger elites... as if we are casual flyers coming home from college or something in their minds...

Cause a scene next time, put them jerks in their place... no need to shove and push like that, or cut in line... their egos really need to be tamed...

Pushing a woman to boot... that to me is wrong... chivalry isn't dead for all of us... if my wife was pushed aside... that would not be a pretty sight...
