D1, serious question for you: as someone from the south who uses sir or ma'am to refer to almost anyone (even friends), should I remove this from my vocabulary? I didn't realize this could make me look like a kiss-ass...

When in the South, use sir and ma'am. It's respectful, just like yes please and holding elevator doors for ladies. But doing that on the west coast or NE makes them feel uncomfortable.

Stay up front. You want your client to look up to you, respect you. Being accomplished at what you do -- evidenced by your first class seat -- is all part of the package.

Of course, it's nice of you to come back mid-flight and say hello.
