Well, I'll stipulate that you're correct. However, in my career of working the "pointy end", I learned two very important lessons.

1) Always open the yogurt in your crew meal, AWAY from you.

2) Revert to servile mode when outside of the aircraft.

I imagine that the folks in the Travel Office don't mind my never-ending enquiries at all. I just hate imposing upon them. There was always that rare groundling that would get royally pi$$ed off at me, and then I'd have to go have lunch with the Chief Pilot, or the appropriate VP. Once we were at the table, I invariably got by on my good looks and winning ways. Still, there were always more pleasant ways to spend my ground time IMHO. I just hate to take the chance on becoming a pest.

The folks in the Pass Bureau are quite patient with me, and provide yeoman service when I request it. But even in retirement, I try to remain invisible.
