As an orthodox Jew with a big beard, I get mistreated by stewardesses on almost every other flight I take.

I kind of expect it now.

on all airlines? or just American?

Currently, a lapsed Catholic, I wore a long full beard from 1967 through 1996...I got strange reactions, good or bad wherever I traveled....but always reactions....

then it turned white and I did not want to be thought of as OLD(or Santa Claus)....so now it is gone. I miss it sometimes.

good luck.

Pretty much. Jet Blue was the last time. Stewardess was a little snippy. Most times, the people around me are fine, but the crew sometimes has an attitude. Delta was actually pleasant.

Generally, I just keep to myself and go with the flow.
