And either way- Why should this be a determinant factor in the service one receives while onboard?
If I bought the ticket, or was on an award ticket using miles I've earned by buying previous tickets, or used RPU/GPU, etc... I should receive the same level of service in each case, and it should be the same service as the other pax in the cabin (regardless of how they got their tickets for that particular flight).
IME, actual non-revs (i.e. employees and buddies) get roughly the same treatment as other passengers. Though some here claim they get treated better. For FA, being rude to a fellow FA or a pilot's family is much riskier than being rude to a passenger.
Please do write. As wise posters above have advised, keep it brief and factual.
