this has certainly been an interesting thread so far

I find it interesting the different reactions to CC with a bit of personality
also the reactions to being referred to us "love dear etc "

I have never really been a yes sir no sir kind of guy yes I like good manners and politeness

for me individual personalities is a winner with me

good cabin crew can usually very quickly determine who is a " I expect to be called sir/madam at all times " and those who are a bit more relaxed
