Sisters and brothers - what a provacative (sp?) thread!!! I am a newly-minted FF and am just beginning to enjoy FC - however - I am youthful in appearance and female and get the dirtiest looks from the grumpy old men in suits (the other folks in FC) and for the first time - got at-ti-tude from a FA when she was being sweet as honey to the others in FC (all grumpy old men in blue suits) - so - although I will continue to dress casually (sweats this am on a Sat flight) - I will also continue to try to make eye contact and say hello to the FA as I board - but I will now have a new way to amuse myself - I will be counting the other travelers by gender, age, appearance and will try to see if I can get back to you all with some sociological findings on the treatment of passengers in FC!!
