Good grief. Are the employees supposed to have a secret handshake followed by a wink and a nod to signify they're deadheading? Be reasonable. The GA needs to know these things and the employees have to tell them. The fact that it is overheard by the passenger is irrelevant.
I really wish you'd go pick on someone else. It's obvious you have a personal agenda with me, and it's really growing tiresome. Several FTers have sent me unsolicited PMs confirming this impression I have, so I know it's not just me.
