Perhaps driving gloves, headphones, eye mask and newspaper when I sit down until just after take off!

It's embarrassing to receive the welcome in Y because it essentially means that the hostess thinks that you have either fallen upon hard times or are a complete tightarse.
You're kidding right? I know plenty of companies that have a Y policy for all travel. Doesn't mean you personally are a tight cough does it??
You get personal greetings on domestic flights? Must be more important than us ordinary Platinums.
Never had a greeting on a Dom flight. Int'l (except NZ) is J so always get a greeting.
I have not had a greeting in domestic Y for a year or so. International Y is also very patchy (say 1 in 3 flights).
The only legitimate reasons I can think of for not wanting to be greeted by name are these:
1. You're a former well known criminal and don't want to be identified by other passengers.
2. You're a super secret spy and the whole business cabin is full of baddies and you don't want them to know who you are
3. You have a really embarrassing name.
there was a while when AA was giving out free trail mix and alcohol (I think) to their super elites.
And there in lies the difference. You are not an ordinary Platinum. You are a Super Platinum.I have received one personal greeting in the last 12 months and that was as a P1
Probably not, quite a lot of people travel with hand sanitiser - anyone who had had small children will have it in the most heavily used rooms at home as well as having small tubes in cars, handbags, travel or toiletry bags. My wife and I stand accused and convicted.You're trolling, right?
You need to walk in the shoes of others before passing judgement. There can be innumerable reasons why the OP is as they are - and the reasons aren't important to this discussion.Since you've taken the time and effort to complain about CSM's greeting you by your name on flights, i'm going to guess that you're not the most pleasant person to the CSM when he does take the effort to personally welcome you on board.

My next flight I'm going to turn it around, I'm going to say to the CSM on boarding, "Welcome back" that will stump him/her

...I just think it is the absolute pinnacle of petty complaints to jump on a forum and complain about receiving 'extra' service.
