I've never, not once, been upset that pilots or flight attendants or other crew cut the lines in front of me.....and I say "Please" and "Thank you" I don’t know what is wrong with people.

At JFK the lines are always long and I am always running to clock in. People will never like it, but they are either nice or rude. It usually tells what kind of a person you have in line as to how they react. I always am polite and explain why, usually I'm not there long enough to hear if they like it or not. The more we let the public know about how we are no paid for this time, the more we can hope that they are not rude to us. I have issues with this topic at least once or twice a month. :) I always have to cut in line since I have a 2 hour call out on reserve and live and work in NYC.

We politely cut through in front of an older french couple. I hear behind me the older woman say, in French under her breath, "stupid inconsiderate Americans." I politely turned around and said in perfect French: "i speak French too. Have a wonderful flight" and went through the metal detector. When the lines are really long, I try to find someone who is on my flight when cutting in line, and try to do something to thank them on the flight, be it a cocktail or a pair of headphones.

Thankfully, I start my trips in a small airport, and I don't have to "inconvenience" a lot of people, and they usually understand anyway. I just try to act like I'm not doing anything weird or unusual...and avoid eye contact. Avoiding eye contact is key. I always feel bad when I have to cut in line.
