So, does that mean every airline that turns every light they have on when they take the active to line up and wait is wrong? Not really sure what you're trying to say.

As Fred T. Rookus from the FAA says.... "See and be seen!"... Lights on.

Now you guys care what the "faa says". I bet most of your talk below 10, read the newspaper or vape in inflight.

Most times, when switching frequencies, I'd say "Thank you for your kind service", and more often than not, that would earn me the skunk-eye award from whoever I was paired with...... why not? (retired)

For the love of god people, if you're gonna non rev and get the privilege of getting first class, act like you've been there before. Especially when you're sitting someone you recognize or is famous. No less than 3 people kept bothering Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a flight this afternoon for pictures. An AA employee sitting next to me even tried to give her his business card. Let them be especually when she's head down in a book.
