So I am supporting this effort of LH and I think it is a very good idea. At least I get some miles now.
I've only once been asked by the purser whether my title was for a medical or an academic doctor on a UA flight last year. Noone else ever cared at all. Unfortunately, I had to disappoint her that it was "only" a PhD, and after she knew that I wasn't of any use for her I received no more attention
(note to self: Should have rather studied medicine than Biochemistry...especially now with the extra miles
)
