Concierges routinely deal with sports stars, movie stars, leaders of business, etc.
Here is an observation I have on YYZ-YVR route. People in J are likely to read newspapers, books, and work on their computers. People in Y are likely to watch movies, play on their phones, sleep (I am talking about mid day flights there, not about red-eyes or early morning departures). I am not saying one activity is better or worse than the other, but when these is a noticeable distinction between J and Y, it tells something isn't it.
However, whether people working in J will learn or not is another story. If they do learn, then they will probably move to better positions very quickly.

If they do process these skills, they probably won't be FAs/MLL Dragons/Concierges for long.
