He's not so he says no. I see a boarding pass that says 1J so I tell him I can be Bob if he wants. He laughs and walks away. Five minutes later he returns and asks if I'm Josh. Bob is a GM and was in 1J. I'm Josh and I was in 1K I will say that AF treats FOs better than DL does.

Great story, but of course you know that you being 'cute' and charming probably had a lot to do with it, right?
