You might be a Kettle with Medallion Status if...
If you have gifted status If you don't tip at the Skyclub If after 500K miles there are no GAs or SkyClub people that recognize you If you look forward to the meal service in FC If you use the call button to get the FA If you have to stow your rollerbag sideways If you think the wine selection is pretty good If you "hang out" with the FAs by the galley If you dont shut off your electronics when asked to do so If you watch Morning Joe If you look forward to using the AVOD system If you ask for a second PDB If you are in FC and stow your jacket/coat on the bin If you think the MD-XXs are great If you reach for your phone upon landing and make a call saying "I just landed" If you use your cell phone and make "deals" loudly while sipping on a PBD If you wear flip flops in FC If you "poop" in the A/C WC If you bring a newspaper with you to go "poop" in the A/C WC If you have never bought a gogo pass If you think it is cool to get 500 skypesos for flying in a middle seat If you flatulate in the airplane and think nothing of it If your music selection in your playa' includes Lady Gaga If you don't know what a job well done certificate is |
I always love it when in ATL you see somebody ask the GA what place they are in the upgrade list. When the board is directly over their right shoulder.....

when I don't print my boarding pass from home I always ask for a ticket jacket. I know they don't have any, but I ask anyway. If everyone asks maybe they will bring these back. I like them, they are convenient for keeping all my travel paperwork together.
United still has them, Delta should follow suit. |

So I can't bring fast food into FC and I can't look forward to the meal service in FC, or else I'm a Kettle? That's funny.

you're sitting in row 28, but begin looking for your row starting in FC. you look from side to side trying to figure out which side of the A/C your seat letter is on. you assume everyone else on the flight or in line has lower status...and treat them so. |

If you sit in row 1 and put your feet on the bulkhead wall then you might be a Kettle with Medallion Status.

If you use your cell phone and make "deals" loudly while sipping on a PBD Also, PDB? PBD? How about just calling it a pre-flight beverage? And calling your significant other immediately after landing is called "courtesy". When the wife says "call me when you land" and I do... well, I'm being a good husband and it takes me about 10 seconds to do. Not a big deal. |
This list is funny partly because sometimes I think the same stuff in my head, and partly because it's amusing to see what judgments people make of other folks' behavior.
I miss ticket jackets but they were kind of a waste. I have a leather travel documents holder now because it's a handy place to keep boarding passes and HOOU coupons and I never forget where I put my boarding passes. :D Everything else is stored electronically in WorldMate.

I will also admit to a fondness for MDxx's. (I don't think actual kettles -- even Medallion Kettles -- even know what type of aircraft they're flying on.) Or... I'm just a Medallion Kettle trying to justify myself. :D |
