This man is old news for those of us in the US forum. He is apparently known as "The Chairman" since he flies A LOT on US. (Chairman is the highest status on US.) I hear he is a big revenue generator for them, so they let him fly.
Personally, I'd have no problem sitting next to the guy. That would likely mean I'd be seated in F!
I am sure talking to him would be quite amusing.
Oh, and he is definitely not a drag queen. I believe he would be considered a cross dresser. Regardless, live and let live.

It was inappropriate for the FA to discuss the passenger's status, EXP on AA, with another passenger.

I flew in F to and from ORD over the weekend.
On both flights the guys I sat next to were dressed in business attire, spoke loudly into their cell phones, were generally sour, and one smelled bad.
I actually feel relieved when I see offbeat-looking or non-frequent flyer types heading for the seat next to mine.

It was really unprofessional of the FA to make comments about a passenger to another passenger.
And kudos to the blue haired 70 year old gentleman who is still in shape and healthy enough to travel energetically on his own two legs.
Sheesh.

When I was attending university I would judge the HS debate tournaments which were occasionally held on campus. One weekend I decided to have some fun so I dressed extremely casually, t-shirt and shorts with torn sneakers, then sat a few rows back from the front of the podium.
When the HS debaters came in and saw me there, almost to a person they rolled their eyes or silently sneered, believing me to just be some dumb student who wandered in...when time came to start and I sat up and asked everyone to write their names on the blackboard, and they realized I was the judge, the looks on their faces were priceless.

To that end, I will be wearing a track suit (sweat pants and a sweat shirt) and I frankly do not care if I outrage some other passenger who happens to spot me when I am on my way to the lav.

I'm British so have quite a highly developed sense of irony and sarcasm, but I'm struggling here... ... are you talking about, woman? Is your favourite song Welcome to the Machine?

I was on a flight in February 2011, from jfk-lax, the temp was 20 degrees, one passenger's clothing caught my eye--he was wearing shorts, short sleeve shirt, NO coat--even if he took a taxi, he still had to be exposed to the elements. Wasn't he afraid of getting "frostbite".
