Dude 2% would mean an op up once in fifty flights. I estimate my op ups at maybe 5 or 6 in about 35 to 40 TATL/TPAC Y flights. I remember NRT once, HKG once, and multiple AMS flights for sure.

My reason for saying don't ask is that like retail stores have secret shoppers I am sure that airlines have secret flyers who's job it is to QC the carriers customer experience, and report back to the company. Asking an employee to essentially violate company policy is not a good idea. If you don't ask, and the action taken is within the latitude of their responsibilities, well...
