I JS'd on AA just yesterday and the crew said I needed to where a headset under 10k- first time a crew had ever asked me to do so.
SO... I put it on. It's their call, not mine, and I never would've dreamed of saying no.
The Envoy dude who did that probably also came into the cockpit and announced he was up front, instead of politely asking for a ride.
