"Too much risk of mischief if the particular flight attendant were corrupt."
I'm less concerned with a corrupt FA than I am with my information getting lost (or stolen). Especially considering the busy active transient lifestyle a FA has trying to meet schedules and deadlines. Stuff happens. I really wish they had a better system trying to recruit prospective CC customers. Heck, I don't even feel comfortable using the USPS with my personal information and I have 24/7 credit monitoring!
