Don't fully get the greeting by name by someone whos' doing so because of a workplace process... I prefer not getting additional attention and abs worse is when "small" talk is expected.

Just thinking: Flight 1 as Gold, get a whole heartily welcome by name, Flight 2 (back a few weeks later) FF status changed to basic and no warm whole heartily welcome by name. Both are fine, but grumpiness breaks loose if FLights 2 (still as gold) no welcome by name given :-o

This said, my first CX (my fav airline) flight coming up as OWE (AY+) in J and I hope it's going to be a quiet affair :-)
