Then stop being FA. You aren't acting in professional way. They should tell the cockpit crew and thier fellow FA that's it. If you can't handle it, then ask to work in the office. If the NERVOUS FA tells a NERVOUS PASSENGER. What happen? You tell me....NOTHING??? Chaos?

How could you possibly have psychologically analysed the situation? I take it your reference is toward the flight attendant in question, as I'm not an FA! Look at it this way - the flight attendant knew that A/the customer is an Exec Platinum and B/An AAirpass holder. In her professional opinion, a passenger who is both loyal to American and flys as frequently as he does can generally be thought as being a not particularly nervous flyer and a very low security risk. How many terrorists also have Exec Platinum cards? Did the FA tell the little old lady or the mouthy teenager in the back? No. Did she tell someone who flies all the time and she recognised that fact? Yes. Was she acting professionally? Maybe not, however, if I was asked by an F/A to keep an eye on someone, believe me, I'd do it. This topic doesn't need to get overblown as it appears to be headed that way, however, we all have our own opinions.

Remember, fly safely, have fun, stow away your tray table and please return the flight attendant to her upright position...
