Gotta agree. Having done a lot of nonrev flights this year I was amazed how the majority of gate agents are downright rude and abnoxious to nonrevs. We were told from our airline that we had to be courteous and professional at all times. In my experience all the pilots did just that. Many many times when I was out of uniform the way gate agents treated us was unbelievable. Gotta say never had any problems with the FA's.
