A word to the wise....
I was traveling home last week as a paying customer on a personally upgraded ticket. I was in uniform, but I took off my rank, etc. I was not drinking either. It just so happened that the flight attendant asked me if I were aircrew. I said yes which prompted the businessman next to me to ask for which airline. It turns out that he does a significant amount of business with us. Minding your Ps & Qs is always the best policy.
