As absurd and unjustified a generalization as FIRST CLASS PASSENGERS ARE ARROGANT TWITS or PLATINUM CARD HOLDERS ARE SMUG STATUS WHORES.
Hardly. I would bet good money that you are more likely to hear a baby crying than witness DYKWIA behavior on any given flight. Babies cry to communicate, children have short attention spans and do not understand decorum.
