Good God in Heaven, why would anyone misrepresent themself?

I put myself through college working tickets and gates for an airline. I just graduated from University and left the airlines in May 2000.

There is nothing in writing, but it is understood by the non revs to keep quite about what you do. I just always got this feeling that I was not supposed to say who I worked for.

Most of the time I ended up telling my seat mate my occupation if we entered into a conversation.

Even if I didn't say I was staff I usually knew at least one flight attendant and I always knew at least a few Elites in First.

I would never hide anything but sometimes you need to feel people out.
