Lots of mocking going on here, and most of it totally unjustified (not this post, just using it to springboard off of). I personally know 2 f/a’s who were found by random pax. One on Facebook, and one at her crew hotel. If someone knows your full name, your employer, and base—it’s amazing how much info an online search can turn up. So, make fun of if if it makes you think you’re one of the cool kids, but there’s no good reason any passenger needs to know your full name. First names only. Or better yet, no names at all.
