Have you thought about writing in and asking them to escalate it to management? If you make an accusation of sexism and back it up with potential evidence, which it sounds like you have, I would like to think you would get a response. There may be other factors at play, and if so, it would be nice to know what those are. Is your name on the credit card for both reservations? Seems random but if everything else really is the same, I'm not sure what else it could be.
Has she made several more late baggage claims or other complaints than you?

Maybe you are getting the "FlyerTalk discount".
Is your husband NOT on FlyerTalk?

Both have filed for damaged bags in the past, probably 2 years ago.
So, I guess that leaves FlyerTalk as the culprit!

Ok.
Not sure what To think but, as mentioned, caulk it up to randomness.

Got upgraded right at boarding yesterday evening on FLL-LAX (pmVX A320). I believe the FA was pmVX as well, but she offered choice of sparkling wine, OJ or mimosa prior to takeoff, and even a second round.

FAs gave out PDBs on this evening’s BOS-SAN. pmAS route, so it was a bit of a pleasant surprise, as I hadn’t received PDBs on this route in the past. Excellent service so far!

AS704 SEA-STL - Offered OJ or sparkling wine. 5/5 for PDB offers this year.
I noted the FAs name and will include a note in Alaska listens, as I have been.

2 of the 5 were QX, the other 3 were AS. The only inconsistency/oddity was a QX flight that only offered OJ or coffee and said they couldn't serve alcohol until in the air. This was a 10:20am departure, so I thought the sparkling wine would have been on offer.

If good point. I do have a perfect record on Hawaii flights. So I've had 2 in a row there.
