Washington Journo Is Angry At American Airlines For Greeting Him By Name On The Plane
Daily Caller ^ | July 26,2019 | BETSY ROTHSTEIN

Clinton Yates, a columnist for The Undefeated and a panelist for ESPN, became angry when a male flight attendant addressed him by his name. The employee apparently used flight info to try to greet all passengers by their names. And no, not just the lucky ducks in first class who get the warm lemon-y towels and warm chocolate chip cookies. But also the masses,

...

And then, “Yeesh. I feel bad for all these people whose names were just put on blast for no reason.”

Is your name “put on blast” when an Airlines employee says hello?

The flight attendant should have used an assumed name, I guess

What about "Jeffrey Epstein"

I’d be a bit surprised and maybe creeped out if I were welcomed with my name. I wouldn’t say anything but would at least be glad to be on the right flight.

...But does Clinton Yates think he’s a double-nought spy or international man of mystery with some super-secret cover that muggles aren’t allowed to lift?

I made a near weekly run between IAH and ABQ a number of years ago on Continental.
The flight crew and I knew each other so well, they handed me my drink as I boarded the plane, and we visited like long-lost friends for most of the ~ 2-hour flight.

This Is standard procedure for some airlines, regarding first class passengers.

The way this country is heading it may be sooner than anyone realizes. We are right up against Daniel's 7th Week (7 years). Everything else has been fulfilled. Israel is constantly being threatened with extinction and according to the Scripture, we know it isn't going anywhere. God is in control, in charge of everyone's next breath . . . It's not like we haven't been warned. Hebrews 10:30-31 says "For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

We heeded the biblical admonishment to “flee to the mountains” about 20 years ago.
Some people thought we were crazy but I think we were right on time.
Life has not sucked at all ever since

It really doesn’t seem to be a big enough deal to write two articles about - one to complain about it, and one to complain about the complaining.

Clinton seems paranoid about something. Better check this guy out.

Well, I guess he can’t say, ‘Don’t you know who I am?’

Your comment certainly begs a question no one seems to be asking.

It would make for a great parody of the old American Express commercial

Why would You be creeped out by being greeted with Your name ?

The Flight Crew has a Manifest for every Flight. It’s got Your name on it. Then it’s not a big deal to grab a Smartphone and type in Your Name into a Search. Heck maybe the Flight Attendant wants tho ask You out on a Date.
