I have only once been asked what I wanted because of my status. Or at least I thought that was why. The guy sitting next to me was a PM and the head FA walked straight back to my row and ask the guy next to me what he wanted.
After he answered, I told her what I wanted. She said, "Well, I guess since you are sitting next to Mr. X, I can take your meal order." Boy I felt special.
I then found out Mr. X had flown over the day before with the same flight crew to give a speech. I really thought he was an incognito FT person doing a.....what do you call it.....a mileage jog?
FEBO is on AA, rather strictly I might add, but not on DL. I will test the FAs tomorrow with the official policy.
