And please don't jump to conclusions by using acronyms like "DYKWIA". You don't know me.
hmm...let's see...my screename is Spanish...yep, the American Culture is not my culture. Like you said, you don't know me. I can certainly grasp the cultural differences.

I always ask FA's to call me by my first name. The fact that I'm flying in Business or First does not mean I'm better then them. I don't fill my head of ideas of grandeur just because I fly in the front of the plane. Looks like a few of you could learn some humility and be thankful you fly in the front.
