I've seen him on a flight or two and he's always been in main cabin (well, premium I guess) and not first class, so it wouldn't impact him much. I'd also imagine he wouldn't be drinking on the flight for professional reasons. And the times I did see him, the FAs actually spent a ton of time talking with him during boarding, so that probably took away their time from serving PDBs.

Feb 19 - AS351 - IAD/SEA - Dr. Anthony Fauci - Seat 4A.
He was traveling with at least two young colleagues(?) who got upgraded onboard to FC from row 11 without being AS elites (the UG waitlist was empty before the gate went to gate control).
I was in row 2 and didn't know he was on till halfway through the flight when he came up to say something to his upgraded colleague in row 1.
Upon arrival, there was a police officer security escort waiting on the jet bridge to accompany him away. I wish I'd asked if he'd like me to guest him into the N Lounge.
