Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey Garage in 1D on yesterday’s 2:40pm DFW-LAX flight. Very friendly. After FA made the Welcome Aboard announcement, he said she should have mentioned he was onboard because coach was “full of his people.” Not exactly sure what that meant, but he joking around a lot during the flight.

I think true A Listers fly private, fly out of a private terminal and don't fly commercial. Among People magazine and US Weekly magazine readers may consider those people A Listers, but possible that among true A Listers those fly paid First Class in commercial are B+ Listers. 
i would disagree here. I’ve seen Donald Trump on a JetBlue flight to palm beach twice, Steven speilberg once on jfk-lax in F, Barry Diller on jfk-lhr in ba F once. All 3 own private jets and are billionaires.

She's doing a Comic Con in Phoenix this weekend. She does a lot of these events in the US, purely on the basis of her year in Doctor Who. And she knows how to work a crowd, so she's quite popular.

Marvin Lewis was on AA5045 (ORF-CLT) today. Boarded relatively late in the process despite he and his wife being in first class.

Terry George (director Hotel Rawanda) in 2A on AA 4481 today EYW-MIA. I wouldn't have known otherwise but he pulled a DYKWIA on some foul mouth attorney in 3A upon landing.

Mike always looked like an undersized hockey player to me. The son, now he looks like he's the tall one.

Saw Terry Crews and his wife in LAX T4 on May 4. He was still wearing the outfit from the charity . He was not on my flight, so I don't know where he was heading. People were leaving him and his wife alone, thankfully.
Ran into BOBAN in the men's room at PHL a couple weeks ago in one of the domestic AA terminals.

Former Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, was flying from Monterey Regional Airport to Phoenix on June 3. Ticketed in coach but his companions told the FA who he was and asked if he could move up. Drank red wine and chatted with the FA about Melania, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. No discussion about his flying history when he was Secretary. Wish I had not changed from my “Save the Whales” tee shirt that I wore whale watching all weekend.
